Can't update or download apps; can't download music

iOS 8.0.2 (but problem started after updating to iOS 8) - iPhone 6 128g
I can't update or download apps. When i try, I get the red circle with the red square in the middle- no activity, and when I tap on it it instantly reverts to the cloud/arrow symbol. I also can't download tunes- all of my iTunes match songs appear and I can stream them- but when i try to download to my iPhone- same thing: red circle with square in the middle, no activity, if I tap again, reverts to cloud symbol.
I have turned off and on, reset network, reset device (but haven't restored to factory settings, trying to avoid that), i have signed in and out of iTunes countless times, i have chatted with support and have been on the phone with support (another call scheduled tomorrow) but no luck at all. Very frustrating- i've never experienced this with Apple before. Anyone have any suggestions? On, another thing. I have an iPad mini that i updated to iOS 8 and it works fine. I can download and update apps, and can download tunes from iTunes Match. Awesome, right? Very confused.

Connect your device to ITunes on a Pc or Mac and sync that way.

I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?

Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

Hi Dnasc,
I have two more suggestions:
1. Reset your iPad - hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same and continue to hold them down until you see the Sliver Apple (ignore the red slider). You will not lose any data. I know this sounds like it might not do anything, but this afternoon I deleted and re-added my iCloud account on my iPad (experimenting so I could answer another question), and it really messed up my Photostream. Did the reset, and everything in the photostream reloaded successfully without any further problems. A reset can do wonders to help "clear your iPad's mind"....
2. Go into iTunes and update the Apps on your computer, then hook up your iPad and sync....
I hope one of these works for you!
Cheers,
GB

You can download app updates on your computer's iTunes and then sync those updates to your device(s) - that is the computer that you sync the device(s) to ?
When you connect a device to a computer's iTunes, then on its Apps tab you should be able to scroll through the listbox of apps and click the 'Update' button next to the apps that have updates on your computer that you want to sync to the device, and then click the Apply/Sync button bottom right of the screen.

I got the iPod first gen what free music downloads app can I get????

iPod first gen what free music download apps can i download?

The 2G iPod can oly go as high as iOS 4.2.1. (Settings>General>About>Version)
Update if not already there.
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was releases, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

Can't update or purchase apps because old user name (MobileMe) comes up automatically and can't change to new user I'd

I can't update or purchase apps after changing my iTunes user I'd . Old (MobileMe) user id comes up automatically and doesn't allow change. How do I take care of this? I've even deleted MobileMe from iPad

It won't recognize the password I used when buying the apps.
Hmmm...
That should work. Go here to determine if there is perhaps a third Apple ID involved! If not, perhaps your memory isn't what is used to be. Change the password.
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

Sounds like you actually have a 1st generation as those cannot update beyond iOS 3.1.3.

How can I only allow free apps to be downloaded?

How can I only allow free apps to be downloaded to my IPhone 4S?

Sorry, but there's no way I know of to restrict downloading to free apps only. You can turn off purchasing of apps completely, but if purchasing is allowed, it's open other than by age range. You can of course remove any purchase method, but I don't believe that blocks the purchase; you just end up owing money.

Why can't i access my Apps that I downloaded through iTunes. I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself

Occasionally ill try downloading an App through my Macbook Pro 13.5 & it directs me to iTunes to be downloaded. So, I go to iTunes and download the App I need. For instance, Amazon. I go into 'My Apps' in iTunes and try clicking on one of my DL Apps, but nothing happens. Why can't I access the Apps, which I downloaded through iTunes.?I believe I'm doing something wrong and not that the issue is iTunes itself. I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I am due for an upgrade from that software and also an upgrade for iTunes as well, but that shouldn't be the problem. I've tried everything on my end to troubleshoot. I don't really have the time during the day to call in and troubleshoot, so thats why I'm asking the community. Please help with this problem if anyone can. Thank You!

Once you download an iOS app, you cannot run that app from the computer. That can only be run from an iOS device. You cannot download Mac Apps from the iTunes App Store, those are downloaded from the Mac App Store. Two different places. If you want a Mac app that will run on your Mac, you need to download that from the Mac App Store. iTunes App Store only has iOS apps that work on iOS devices, iPhone, iPad, or iPod.

Why do I have to connect my ipad(4th gen) to my laptop to download apps? I downloaded some yesterday, but now they just say waiting. If I connect to ITunes, I can get them through that. I am not using cellular data, just through wifi.

Any ideas greatly appreciated, it will save me a journey to the apple store

I have now solved it. I signed out of my iTunes account and then held down both the power buttons until the apple appeared. When I signed back in it started downloading.

Trying to buy Imovie form App store and have the message: These apps cannot be accepted on this computer. Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update. How to solve it?

I have a MBP form July 2011, upgraded to Lion 10.7.4. Last week I had to restore the OS.
I also bought some time ago Iphoto.
Today I wanted to install Imovie from App Store. Instead of the Buy bottom I found an Accept bottom and when I tryed to install I had the message:
These apps cannot be accepted on this computer.
Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update.
I looked for a solution and found a lot of questions about this error but not real answers to fix it.
Can you please let me know hoe to fix?

Your Mac should have had all three of the iLife apps pre-bundled with it; iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. If your Mac came with Mac OS X Snow Leopard installed, then the apps should be on the Install DVD that came with your Mac, perhaps in a folder on the disc labeled bundled apps. After installing them, these apps would not be updated through the Mac App Store, but with Software Update.

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

HT3702 i have updated my billing information and still can't update the existing Apps. I changed the credit card and still same problem

I have updated my billing information and still can't update my existing apps , i ahve changed the payment card and still same problem ,what shall i do ?

It's a credit card, not a debit card ? As far as I know that message will show if you are trying to use a card that was not issued by a bank in the same country as where your iTunes account is based (and you need to be in that country). If you are sure that it is then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can help : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I can not update my installed apps from the App Store Update page. I can individually update from the App Store Purchased page. I tried a soft reset but still unable. Any suggestions?

You are doing all that you cn do right now other than to update the apps in iTunes on your computer and sync them to the iPad.
There has been a problem with the App Store updates tab for a few days now and we are all waiting for Apple to fix it.
Look at all of the discussions on the iPad forum that are talking about this right now.

Can you update an iOs app and change its platform offering from iPad/iPhone to just iPad?

When building a new app with Adobe DPS to update an existing app, can you update an iOs app and change its platform offering from iPad/iPhone to just iPad?

Vinod is correct in that you can build a new app that's iPad-only, but if you try to submit it as an update to the existing app, Neil is correct--Apple will reject it because it's considered a downgrade. You either need to stick to the universal app and do something like create a single iPhone folio that refers users to the iPad, or you need to submit it as a new app.
