Can't update, sync, or remove apps.

While I was updating Tic Tac Toe free, my iPod lost power. Since then, none of the apps, except the ones that I downloaded after Tic Tac Toe free will update. In addition, I can't remove them from my iPod touch.
I tried to sync after deselecting "sync applications," but none of them were removed. I also tried deleting the apps from my library, but still, the apps were not removed from my iPod. In fact, the apps were copied from the iPod to my iTunes Library.
The message I get when trying to update the apps straight from the iPod is "Unable to Download application. [app name] will be available for download when you log in to the iTunes Store on your computer."

If no one knows how to solve this, then can anyone point me to someone who can? This is starting to become a big problem, as more and more apps are updating. I think i might just do a full restore.

I can't update any of my apps. I have an old email address that I forgot the password to. I set up a new apple idea (I do know the password to this one), but every time I try to update my apps, it brings me back to my old email.

I've tried many times to get rid of my old iTunes account. I have made a new Apple ID and I do remember the password. My 2 main problems are, i can't update ANY of my apps (and I have 53 to update now), and I can't get rid of my old old email that I forgot the password to. Every time I try to reset the account and start a new iTunes account, it will ask me for my new email. I've tried multiple times to change it, bbut every time i do, it asks me to put a password when for my old email that I forgot the password to reset the account.

Once you purchase or download an app it will always be associated with the Apple ID used to download it. When that app requires and update you must use the Apple ID and password used to download it in the first place. The only way around this is to delete the apps the require the old Apple ID and download or purchase them again with the new Apple ID.

Hi AlphaCentori,
If you are having issues accessing the Apple ID that was used to originally purchase those apps, you may find the following article helpful:

I am trying to change my apple id Country. but it says " you have a store credit balance, you must spend your balance before you can change it." i don't wanna spend it to change my country. by the way i can't update any of iPhone apps. need help

It's strange because I can change my AppleID country without this message.
So what to do? Just try to do this again, but on another device. You may also erase cookies and history of your browser.
I hope it will be helpful, good luck!

IOS 6 on a 4s, I can't update or install any apps.

Since installing IOS 6 on a 4s, I can't update or install any apps. Touching the buttons to install causes nothing to happen. I now have 8 pending app updates that I can't do anything with. What's the solution?

Hi, I'm having a similar issue updating apps. My phone is currently stating there are 4 updates available, but when I open the App Store and go to the updates tab, nothing appears. Just a blank screen.
I have tried updating on different wifi networks, restoring the phone from a backup, signing out & in to the App Store again, but it still won't download updates. As it stands the only way I can update is via pc (I haven't tried this yet but sure it will work.....).
I have seen various posts on the forums with the same or similar problems, but ALL suggestions on these have failed as well.
Any ideas would've appreciated.

Have you signed out of your iTunes account on the device/computer that you are using and signed back in with the updated password ? That should 'refresh' the account on it, and you should be able to use the account's new password to download updates to its apps

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.

I bought over a Mac Book Pro from a friend. I can't update iPhoto and other apps as it seems like these are tagged to the previous owner's account. Pls advise.

Contact your "friend." Have him set up the MBP for your with your own account, settings and passwords. You are not running IOS 5.1. That is for iPhone and iPad users. What OS are you running? Did he give you the OS installer disks?

Your apple account is showing you still owe for this download. You wont be able to download anything to you pay your balance. Since it was a "mixup", you should call apple support. Tell them your issue and get your account resolved.

Can't update the latest CC app (April 2015 - Photoshop CC2014 & BridgeCC)

Hi,
I use Macbook with latest OS updated.
I can't update the latest app (April 2015 - Photoshop CC2014 & BridgeCC).
Every time i've tried, the error occurred as you can see images attached.
I've also tried uninstall and reinstall both apps, but same problem persists.
It's few days since these updates show up, but until now I still can't update.
Thanks.

first, sign out and then back in to your cc app and retry updating, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
if that fails, close your cc app and then reopen and retry updating.
if that fails, restart your computer, sign out and then back in and update.
if that fails,
Remove the OPM.db file and relogin into the Creative Cloud desktop application using the Adobe ID tied to your subscription.
Mac OS: You can locate the OPM.db file in the \User\<user name>\Library\Application Support\Adobe\OOBE folder. To access the hidden user Library folder, see Access hidden user library files | Mac OS 10.7 Lion.

Can't update or install from App Store although I can purchase apps

I can purchase apps in App Store but I can't update them or actually install them through the store, I just get a little spinning whirylgig next to the go back or forward page icons.
I have run disk utility and I restarted.
I am on OS X 10.7.5
Any suggestions??

Make sure when you update apps you are signed in using the same Apple ID used for the original downloads.
Beyond that ...
Disable anti virus softwrare if installed
Check your firewall settings in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options
Make sure Gatekeeper is enabled
Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy then select the General tab.
Make sure either Mac App Store or Mac App Store and identified developers is selected. If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed.

I bought a new iPad 3 in USA in July but now I cannot access my apps store. I can't update or view the apps store. Secondly it keeps on telling t

I bought a new iPad in July in USA and it was set up by the Apple store in Houston, now I can't access my apps store neither can I view all my purchased apps.
Secondly, every time it want to update my apps that I bought years ago, it tells me to go to Nigeria store. I don't know why I must change to a store to update my apps
Thirdly, I think it's unfair to pay the same amount of Money for an IPad with those in USA and the you can't even download the good apps. It seems the apps in the Nigeria store are those they don't want in the USA . Why can't we have the same quality apps considering we paid the same amount of money to buy this iPads. I think this is very unfair to us.

The apps available to you are dependent on your location. If you are not in the USA, then you cannot get the USA app store. Whilst you may think that is unfair, it has been a part of the stardard terms and conditions you agreed to when you setup the iOS device in question originally, as well as every time you click agree to the terms and conditions.
This is done because of two things, firstly there are many legal and semi-legal reasons that an iOS app store download is available in one territory and not another, in addition to this, it also allows apple to provide language specific content, as well as team up with companies and organisations within individual organisations in order to provide you with exclusive offers, content, and information, which it would not otherwise be able to do.
Rules for the iOS app store are also applied in varing forms for the music store, the books store, and the iTunes U content library.
I can very much understand your fustraition, as someone who spent a considerable portion of his life, especially during the years he grew up, living in California, USA, but now living in London, UK, I too find it very fustraiting that you cannot always get the same content from one country to another, especially when most marketing for iOS apps originates in the USA these days.
I hope this helps your query and helps to ease your fustraition. If you would like apple to be aware of your fustraition, rather than putting it onto a pubilc form which is on monitored in a very limited capacity, then you can fill in the form at http://www.apple.com/feedback where you can give your complaint straight to apple.
