Can you update iPhone5 apps via newest iTunes?

Hi,
I have a ton of apps that need updating on my iPhone 5 (latest iOS) except I don't want to use my phone's data and my phone never seems to want to connect to any wifi despite it being available.
Is there a way I can update my phone apps via iTunes? (All latest versions). I connected my phone and checked the applications tab and can see all my apps but the only real options shown are just to install or remove etc, I've been staring at the page for a while and can't for the life of me see any way to check an app to update it, is it possible?
Thank you~

iTunes provides an automatic update option for apps in the iTunes Library. The device is not required for this. But if the apps were never downloaded to iTunes, then you would need to upgrade them from the iTunes Store. As for iTunes itself all you can otherwise do is Install an app from the library or Remove an app from you device.
iTunes will, during a sync, transfer apps from the device to the library if they were newly purchased on the device. Apps updated by iTunes will transfer to the device unless you have opted to have it Removed.

  • TS1702 how can you update your apps on the itune page like you use to with the old itunes

    How can I update my apps on the new itunes?  On the previuos itunes i was able to update them won the computer the sync my phone - i can not locate the update notifacation area on this new itunes program

    With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. You should then be able to sleect the Apps section of your library on that left-hand sidebar, click the 'Check For Updates' button at the bottom of it and download any available updates. Then connect your phone and select it on the sidebar, select its Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes, and click the Sync button at the bottom of it - that should copy any app updates over to it

  • Can no longer use apps in newest itunes

    I just (unfortunately) upgraded to itunes 12.01.  After a frustrating period trying to figure out where the repeat button went, I can now find no way to use apps in itunes when my phone is synced.  In the old version, I'd go to the phone tab, hit "apps", then in the lower left corner there was a scroll box that had a list of all apps that would allow you to save/load files to them from the HDD, then I'd go into my phone and import.
    This is now completely gone.  On the right side is a scroll box that shows what my home screens look like.  On the left, after hitting the "apps" text on the left column, it shows a long scroll box with all of them, but the only thing I'm able to do is hit a box labelled "install/remove".  I don't want to remove it, I need to load a file for it so I can then go into my phone while connected and do a USB import.  I have looked and tried everything and can find no way to do this.  Right clicking, dragging, everything.
    Apple cannot honestly be this obtuse to remove such functionality like this?  This is not a small change, it's huge, and it removes efficiency and functionality.

    Well what do you know?  I just connected, there it was.  Huh.  I don't know what the difference was from yesterday, though I did select "do not automatically sync devices" in preferences as it's messing up my music, buggy as ****.
    Very strange.  Thanks for the reply.

  • Can You Update Modern Apps without using the Windows Store?

    Our corporate image for Windows 8.1 has the Windows Store app disabled. We have started to see some users are getting prompted to update the built-in apps, like the weather app or the video app. When these users attempt to update, they are taken to the Windows
    store where they receive a message that states the store has been disabled by the administrator.
    We're using SCCM 2012 R2 CU3.  Is it possible to patch these apps through SCCM software updates rather than through the store?  Is it possible to leave the store open for updates, but not for new app downloads?  What can we do?

    Hi,
    The answer is no, When store app need to be updated, it would download a full new version package of the APP, install and replace the old ap. This process do need to login Windows Store to finish the job.

  • Can you update CS6 apps if you have the CC apps installed too?

    I saw the Creative cloud menu item with 8 updates for the CS6 apps I left installed after downloading the CC versions. I get errors when trying to update the CS6 apps. Are you not abile to have both CC and CS6 installed?

    This has nothing to do with any of that. these are simpyl bugs/ issues/ conflicts. Run the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, let CC App reinstall CS6, run the updates, then install CC - or, to save your sanity, just leave it alone, if you don't need any of the nehancments and fixes from the updates.

  • HT4009 Can you buy in-app purchases with itunes giftcard money?

    I want to buy an in-app purchase and I have a $10 gift certificate in my account. If I buy an in-app purchase, will it be deducted from the gift card total?

    I tried it and it worked.  It has used my itunes credit for an in-app purchase.
    It hasn’t worked for me before so I was sceptical but apple have fixed their bug and it works now within the game I used to make the purchase.
    I hope this helps!

    How do I update my apps via App Store on iTunes 11? I can't see the "update" button. Thank you.

    You can download updates to your computer's iTunes via the Check For Updates button at the bottom of the Apps section of your iTunes library. When they've been downloaded, and if you haven't already done so, connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of iTunes (if you don't have the left-hand sidebar showing then you can enable it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Apps tab on the right-hand side clicking the Sync button at the bottom of it should install the relevant updates.

  • Can you update apps when connected to itunes on laptop?

    can you update apps when connected to itunes on laptop?

    Yes. You can download the updates to the apps in iTunes and then sync them to the iPad while the iPad is connected to your computer. I did that last night because I had so many large app updates to do - apps that were 250MB up to 650MB in size - and it just made more sense to me to do it that way.

  • Why can't I update my apps from my iTunes on Mac?

    So I have 16 apps on my iPhone that needs to be updated. I have limited internet access on my iPhone so I can't update my apps from there. So, I have to update my apps via iTunes on my Mac. However, when I clicked "16 Updates Available" at the bottom part of the apps window, it led me to a window saying "No updates are currently available. To check updates for another Apple ID, sign in with that Apple ID".
    Why is this happening?
    I need to update my apps and I have re-checked my Apple ID numerous times to make sure the correct one is associated.

    If you are getting the bank white screen in the updates tap - There is a problem with Apple’s servers that only they can fix.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    This is a workaround only and not a fix. If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    Select update on the Apps
    Another option is to update your apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the updated apps to the iPad.
    1. Launch iTunes
    2. Click on Apps in the list under the Library heading in the left Sidebar.
    Click on Updates at the top in the window on the right
    Update all of the apps
    Connect your iPad and Sync with iTunes
    If you do not see the sidebar in iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top.
    You can also try closing the App Store on the iPad and reboot the device and see if that fixes your problem.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I updated my software in my iPad, can't connect to App Store or iTunes, It says that I have to change to US account, right now I'm in Mexico, how can I change it to mu US account.

    Back up all data.
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
              8.8.8.8
              8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
    In Safari, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
    Notes:
    1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the  Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
    2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

    I had to change my Apple ID and password in itunes. Now my icloud doesn't work and I can't update my apps on my iPhone. I have looked at suggestions on the community pages and apple suggestions but none of them are relevant to iOS 8.1.2
    icloud just keeps bringing up my old email address & asking for my old password which doesn't exist anymore and when I try to sign out of icloud it wants my old password, when I tried to change my primary email back to the old one it wants me to verify it through an email address that doesn't exist. Please can you help me sort out this nightmare.

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • My ipod tells me my apple id password is wrong even though I just changed the password. I can log on via my desktop, but the ipod continues to tell me that the password is incorrect, so I can't update any apps. Help!

    my ipod tells me my apple id password is wrong even though I just changed the password. I can log on via my desktop, but the ipod continues to tell me that the password is incorrect, so I can't update any apps. when I continue to to try to enter the correct password in it finally freezes the account, and I have to go online via my desktop to fix that problem. I have two apple id's because when my ipod crashed I had to reset it completely. I have never had any problems with this before, and it has been a year since I got my second id, which is linked to the ipod. My first id is used for the cloud on the same device. My wife suggested I reset documentson the cloud for the second id, however, when I try to log on the cloud with my current id, it tells me I have to set up the cloud on that device, but it is already done, but with the old id.
    confusing I know. I have been on the 'change your password merry-go-round' all day, and I'm getting dizzy! Help!

  • Is there any way I can just update the apps on my iPhone using iTunes on my PC?, Is there any way I can just update the apps on my iPhone using iTunes on my PC?

    I have more than a 100 apps which I do not use but are there in my iTunes library! My iPhone has only a few (40) updates. As I am not allowed to use office wi-fi to download or update my phone apps, I want to use iTunes on my PC for the same. But I do not want to waste time searching for the apps on my phone and then update it using iTunes. Also, I do not want to update all the apps in my iTunes Library as there are more gthan 100. Can anyone suggest me a method where I can just update the apps that are on my phone using iTunes??
    I have the latest iTunes installed.

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a different setup you transfer the old library from a computer or a backup directly to the new setup, not the device to the library. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

    Many people (including me) are having the same problem at present. There are other threads in the message board with the same complaint.
    There is nothing you can do about it except wait for Apple to fix the problem.
