Cannot download apps at this time

Hi I have noticed that recently when I either download an app or update a certain app I get a pop up on the screen that says:
Unable to purchase
"Amazon mobile"and 5 other items
Could not be purchased at this time
Please try again later.
Now it's been saying this for a few weeks now, but the thing is, I'm not even trying to update my amazon mobile app, and I have no clue what the othe 5 are. I have tried syncing and restarting but nothing helps. My guess is that it began when I tried to probably install a bunch of updates at once at one point. There might have been a problem and they were not available. But why is it still showing me this. I should also add that amazon mobile is not in my current list of apps that have updates. Any ideas would be great, it's quite annoying.

Go to Settings, Store, Apple ID, and Sign out.
Now do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!
Sign back in again and see what happens.

HT1657 Tried to rent movie but saying error cannot download movie at this time?

Tried to download a rental the other day when trying to download it said I did not have enough space when I did this is due to my iPad having an expired previously rented movie.
Still after this had gone it was saying I did not have enough space. I reset my iPad to then hopefully start downloading my rental and it is now saying error cannot download movie at this time?
Help.
Thanks

Have purchased movies from itunes adn they show on the ipad with the cloud symbol but will not download to the ipad, the above error keeps appearing??

All things being equal - there is no reason why you should not be able to download the rentals right to the iPad. But things like an interruption in the Internet connection - a hiccough in the connection - could pause the download or cause a problem. You can try to resume the download, or see if you can download the rentals on your computer and then move them to the iPad.
You could try restarting or rebooting the iPad and see of the downloads will resume. You can try signing out of your ID, restart the iPad and sign in again and then try to resume the downloads.
Once you tap on Rent or Install or Buy - the iTunes cash register rings up the purchase so that's a done deal now. You can't cancel it. You can contact iTunes support if the movies will not download and they should be able to get you through it - one way or the other.
If you need it ....

Try this - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

HT1657 Cannot download movie at this time

Why?

I am having this problem as is my husband with our iphones. It REALLY frustrating and at the moment there seems to be no resolution. It more annoying because some of these apps have content that is lost by reinstalling, some wont even reinstall! COME ON APPLE - please sort this out & find a solution!!

I keep getting an error message when downloading a new app which states " Zinio and 5 other apps cannot be purchased at this time" and then it let's me purchase the app that I was looking at? Can anyone explain that?

This worked for someone
I had this problem for about six weeks. I was following this forum but was too unsure of what might happen to try the fixes that were suggested.
About two weeks ago I decided to delete the downloads.28.sqlitedb file (usingDiskAid(a free program), on a PC running Windows 7). The original downloads.28.sqlitedb was 936 KB. The new one that the system created is 80 Kb., and has stayed at about that size. After about four days I also deleted all the other contents of the Download folder. Ten days later and still no more problems. Downloads are much quicker, nothing greys-out (as was happening frequently before).
Everything has worked well since with no more error messages.
I am using an iPod 4G, iOS 5.1 (originally iOS 5.0). I do not have a manifest file, and as far as I know, have not had one. DiskAid can search the whole "hard drive" on the iPod.
Deleting downloads.28.sqlitedb and the contents of Downloads worked for me.

App store reports Pinball HD and 11 other apps cannot be purchased at this time.....

App store reports "Pinball HD and 11 other apps cannot be purchased at this time"..... This occurs whenever I log into the app store. I have already purchased this app (and presumably the 11 others as well). I believe this started when it showed up as an app I should update (for free).
My wife and I share this iPad and we have apps purchased under two different store accounts on this machine. I have tried to log off and sign in with her account and then check updates but with either account I am told that all apps are up to date. All of our credit card info is current. Any clues?

Already on Automatic..... :(
This is an iPad 1 - I've had it since it first came out (ordered directly from Apple). Lots of apps and purchases over the years. My wife got her own WiFi only iPad shortly after mine as she fell in love with it and I don't share well. ;) This only started about 7-10 days ago. I did not update to iOs 5.1 until last night so this predates that. My concern is that when the iPad 3 arrives next Friday that this will transfer over.
Ever since my wife received her own iPad our purchases are pretty much separate.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box markedAllow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take a few minutes to run, or perhaps longer if you have literally millions of files in your home folder. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Cannot download apps or login to app store on ipad

Hi everyone.
I've moved my family over to family sharing instead of having everyone on my ID.
All working OK except my sons ipad air.
Cannot download apps (put in password and it just goes straight back to the 'get' button, no error message)
Have tried:
forcing ipad to shut down.
Logging out of store.
attempted to download app whilst logged out of store. Still same problem.
Tried my ID to login or download. Same problem.
Have checked family settings to make sure he can download apps without asking. All OK.
Apps are age appropriate.
Restrictions are set to allow apps to download
time settings are on automatic
Forgetting network and setting it up again.
using phone as hotspot didn't work either
Now a further problem:
Logged out of iTunes and App store. Cannot log back in on his ipad. Works on his phone and my computer, so the password and username are 100% correct.
Does anyone have anything else I can try?
Thanks, Zelly

I Am having The exact same issue. I know my Apple ID is correct. I can log in to anything from safari or on a computer, but cannot log in to the App Store. When I click on download, it asked for my password. I typed it, and it asked again (no error message). I typed it again. It asked again. I typed it again and then it asked if I wanted to use an existing I'd or a new one. I clicked existing. Typed in my email and password, clicked ok. Then it asked me again... Existing or create a new one. This happens every time now.
steps I have tried:
I tried to reset my password. No good.
I tried logging out from settings and logging back in there. No good. (In fact, in settings, it won't even let me TRY to login. I click on the blank Apple ID box and it asks if I want to use an existing or create a new one. I click existing and nothing happens. No option to login at all.)
I tried resetting all settings. No good.
I tried a full reset (all content and settings). No good.
I tried resetting DNS. No good.
I Tried multiple different networks. No good.
if it matters, I do have a MDM device that is set up through my work's Active Directory. But it worked fine a few days ago before upgrading to iOS 8.3.
WHen I did the full reset, I was able to login to my work's configuration, but when it got to the set up Apple ID menu, I had to skip it because it still would not let me log in.
aany ideas?

TS3274 Cannot download apps from the apps store. iOS 7.0.4.

I recently upgraded to version iOS 7.0.4. For my ipad 4. Now I cannot download apps from the apps store. Any suggestions?

The ipad is brand new. It downloaded the apps fine until I updated to the ios 7.0.4. two days ago. When I choose an app from the app store, I can select it and it appears to begin to download (it spins in circles). It does not prompt me for my Apple password. However, it generates a blank, undownloaded app on the ipad. It says waiting underneath the app. I hope that explains it better.
I also reset the ipad and it prompted me to either cancel or purchase several items. I have small children and it appears they were trying to buy upgrades and boosts for games alreadly on the ipad. I have tried to download another game and this time it has prompt me for my password. The app has come onto the screen and it is stuck in the waiting phase of the download.

I cannot download apps from BB apps world ...

Hi,
I have a BB Curve 8520 for 2 weeks now and I still cannot download apps...
At first, I had the 4.6 version and I couldn't find BB apps world on my BB so I uprgraded it (5v)...
Now I have BB apps world I have the possibility to download apps but it doesn't work! Every time I get the same message "Cannot download apps from Blackberry app world...".
That's why I tried to download apps from the site with my laptop but every time I have an "Error unknown"!
It's making me crazy!
I'm in Belgium and my provider is Base
I have Windows 7 on my laptop...
Can someone please help me and tell me what I have to do? Do I have to change something in my settings?
I downloaded BB apps world again to be sure that I have the most recent version but it doesn't help...
Many thanks in advance!!!

Jessica, on your BlackBerry, Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescirbed for most gltiches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.
After reboot, please try AppWorld and to download an application again.
