Can't wirelessly download app updates to my ipad2.

I have been unable to wirelessly download app updates to my ipad2.  I can download them from my PC and then sync, but when I try to do it wirelessly, I get an "An unknown error has occurred." message.  Any thoughts?

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Why can't I download app updates or new podcasts

    Hi,
    I have an Iphone 4 with IOS 7.0.3 and I'm unable to download any updates for apps. Currently I have 3 updates available, BBC, Trivago and Facebook and when I go to update them the blue circle just keeps spinning around and never starts.
    Along with that I'm not able to download podcasts, it just stays at the preparing to download stage and then just stops trying.
    Can anyone give me some help with this?

    Hey ELSheepO,
    I would try out the following troubleshooting steps to see if that helps the issue at all:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • I can no longer download Apps from App store nor update the existing ones

    iMac 21" Intel
    year 2013
    OSX10.10.1
    I can no longer download Apps from App Store.
    I would select the app, press the icon to download the App (Ottieni in my language, Italian), download would not start and an alarm saying "Download failed, try from the Purchased page to retry" would pop-up, see screenshot below.
    I would visit the page "Purchased" (second icon from right) and try from there by pressing the icon Install on the right hand side but the same pop-up icon would appear and a message by the icon Install saying "An error occurred" would appear.
    The same problem occurr when I try to update Keynote, Imovie or any other App I have downloaded.
    I do not know whether this is related to this issue but some time ago I installed Avast.
    I could not install other apps such as uTorrent (not downloaded through App Store) until I removed Avast.
    I am utterly disappointed.
    Can anyone help, please?
    Thanks.
    Carlo

    Yes, Avast could very well be the issue. Bad software, use the developer's instructions to uninstall and don't install again. Your Mac has no real need for most 3rd party anti-viral software and those so-called tune-up apps mess up more than they are worth. A pristine OS X system is all that you need, it takes care of itself.

    If you want to use your current ID you will either have to provide a credit card or redeem an iTunes gift card.  Otherwise you can create a new ID without a credit card to purchase free apps by following this exactly as written: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.

  • How do I download app updates in the new iTunes?

    A few apps of mine have updates that are too large to download via data and wifi on my phone has been broken due to water damage. I used to just go to "Apps" in iTunes, select "Updates," download all that were available and sync the updates that way. I cannot find ANYWHERE to download app updates in iTunes 11. Assistance?

    At the top left is a dropdown where you can select what you want to look at eg Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books and Apps. Select Apps the check for updates button is bottom right.

    Try syncing your iPad with your computer, that way it can update its version of iTunes.

  • I can no longer download apps on my iPod. (More info in message)

    I can no longer download apps on my iPod. I recently had a card number on my iTunes account that i had to cancel and now it wants me to enter another card number so i can purchase apps. I only plan on getting free apps on my iPod and i do not want to enter my card number. Is there a way to create an account without enter my card number?

    If you are curious and you want to know what iOS you are running - go to Settings>General>About>Version.
    Also make sure that you transfer purchases into iTunes from your iPad via File>Transfer Purchases while the iPad is connected to your computer, with iTunes running and with your iPad selected. Also make sure that you backup your iPad  by right clicking on the iPad name under devices and selecting - Backup. Copy any important files to your computer as well before you update your iPad.

  • Why can't I download my updates...it doesn't accept my password...changed it several times no luck

    Why can't I download my updates....it says my password is wrong...changed it several times with still no luck. What's wrong? When I login to my apple ID it works..whist am I doing wrong?

    Have you tried logging out of your account by tapping on it in Settings > Store and then logging back in ?
    If that doesn't work then you could try closing the App Store app completely and seeing if you can download updates when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Another option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IPhine 5s won't download app updates

    IPhone 5s 7.1.2 can't download app updates today. I have 1.9g available space and Apple support says the apps store is working. I'm at home on my wifi router and I can download updates on my iPad.
    I keep getting the popup message that the app cannot be downloaded at this time.
    aany ideas would be appreciated!
    Thanks, Kevin

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

    Any ideas?

    Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store.  Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

  • Trouble downloading app updates

    So, I have been away for a week only to come home and when I try to download the 23 app updates available on iTunes, (iTunes is working by the way) I get a message telling me they have already been purchased and to download I need to go to Check for Available Downloads in the Store.
    Can't find it, so I just go to the download tab that appears on the left and at the bottom is a button and next to it, it says "23 iTunes Downloads Available" I click on the button. Then, I get a message telling me "Unable to Check for Available Downloads. The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later". Now, iTunes is available, I can still access podcast updates and other features of the store, I just can't get these app updates!

    I had the exact same problem, and it appeared in three ways:
    1. I could not check for available downloads - which gave the "iTunes store isn't available" message
    2. Some (but not all) iphone/pad applications would not update in itunes throwing a "you have already purchased this product" error
    3. In the Mac AppStore, I could not reinstall or update some applications - clicking "INSTALL" would prompt for my password, the button would turn grey, wait a beat, and then flash back to Install with no error message (except some obscure callback thing in my system.log)
    I did a bunch of research and found that the problem was my "download queue" - which appears to be a tally of all the stuff that itunes should download when it first loads - was either to large, or had an item in it which was no longer available in the store.
    To reset my queue, I called applecare (yes, regular apple care) and explained my problem. The rep was super nice, and initiated a chat with the itunes team. There is no direct way to contact the itunes support team other than email (which for me went unanswered), so its awesome that applcare is (or was for me) willing to jump into the fray.
    After about 5 minutes, i was told that my queue "sure had a bunch of stuff in it" and it had been reset. So far so good, I've been able to download all my stuff again.
