Cannot update applications via iphone

I have had my iPhone 3gs 16gb for about two weeks. The day I got it I updated to 3.1.2 software. Since then some apps will update and some won't. Currently I am trying to update Recorder. I get the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". I have tried to update the application with wifi at home and at work. I have turned off the wifi and tried updating the app with 3g network and I have tried it with the 3g network and wifi turned off using only the Edge network. All attempts have resulted in the same message. I also tried restarting the phone. Then I tried resetting the network settings.
I can connect to the iTunes store and download music without any problems. I can delete the application and re download it from the app store, but when I did this it did not recognize that I already own the app and I was charged for the application that I already owned. I am able to update the applications through iTunes on my laptop, then sync to get the application updated that way. This does not address the issue that I cannot update applications through my phone though.
If anyone has any thoughts please let me know. Thank you for the help.

We have had that issue on my wife's phone, but like you said its not really a big deal. Just enter the correct password for the login. This is not the case with my phone though. It does not prompt for any other account. It just gives the error message. I've had iPhones for a couple of years now and 99% of the apps we share were bought through my account since my wife has only had hers for a couple of weeks. The apps I've had the problem with so far were bought through my account. I've tried everything I can think of with no luck so far. The first time I noticed this I updated about 6 apps at once and only one of them gave me this issue. That was Gym Buddy. I deleted it from my phone and re-downloaded it, but instead of notifying me that I already owned the app and it was free to download, it charged me for it as if it were a new purchase. The next app I experienced this with was the Recorder app. I downloaded the update via iTunes and synced my phone to install the update. I haven't had any other updates yet but I'll let you know if I have any other problems and what app it is. Again, if anyone else has had this issue and found a solution, please let me know. Thanks.

  • Cannot update to Verizon iPhone firmware 4.2.10

    I cannot upgrade my Verizon iPhone from 4.2.8 to 4.2.10 via Windows 7 64-bit using iTunes 10.4. I end up getting error 3194. I've rebooted, turned off the Windows Firewall, unplugged all USB devices (including keyboard and mouse) and no go.
    I put it in Recovery mode and got the same error.
    I have a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.8 on it and a fresh install of iTunes 10.4 (had wiped it according to the Apple KB article and installed it newly). And when I try it there I get the phone is "not eligible" for an update. I thought Sophos A/V might be in the way and closed it, no go, and I also have no other USB devices attached, etc. etc.
    Of side note, my latest generation iPod touch was updating fine via Windows 7 and now stopped after 4.3.3 and I cannot go to firmware 4.3.5 now.
    Also, I had a similar issue with my same iPhone 4 trying to go from 4.2.6 to 4.2.8. I ended up going into the Apple Store, they did put it in Recovery mode and connected it to a white MacBook and it updated the firmware just fine. (By the way, they were VERY helpful at the store and handled me very quickly and were very nice and explained technical details to me when I asked).
    Why I can't update the firmware on my own devices at home is a mystery to me. What do I do? Wait for iOS 5?

    Lawrence, that did it! I had added in that line earlier on because I had gotten that as a solution to try while googling. So I deleted the gs.apple.com line from the hosts file, rebooted and tried again and it worked! I now have 4.2.10!
    I had done the same thing on my Windows 7 computer, and it is removed now, too.
    So to recap:
    - removed the gs.apple.com line from /etc/hosts on my MacBook
    - turned off On Access scanning for viruses in Sophos
    - turned off Airport/WiFi
    - used my Ethernet/LAN connection to my Comcast modem (no other router inbetween)
    - and not sure if it mattered, but a clean install of iTunes 

  • HT204053 I cannot update my apps on my iPhone. I have 2 email addresses and I now realize I changed my Apple ID from one email to the other. Now I cannot update on my iPhone because it is associated with the original email address. Help?

    I cannot update my apps on my iPhone 3. I think it's because I've discovered I have 2 Apple ID's, the original one for iTunes from 2009, and another one I used more recently. I think I must have changed my Apple ID to the more recent email, but my iPhone does not accept any password for the new ID. I have tried changing back but cannot. I have reset passowrds on both ID's 6 or 7 times, but that does not work either. I read I cannot undo an Apple ID, so I have 2, but they are mixed up. Help?

    Did you purchase or download the apps with your old ID?  Apps are tied to the ID that is was purchased from.
    If it is a new app you bought with your new ID, you can go into settings - appstore- apple id and then log out.

  • Cannot update apps via iTunes after iOS 8 install

    After updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.0.2, iTunes (ver 11.4, under OS 10.6.8) will no longer do a backup nor any direct usb cord App updates. I could download all the updates to my Mac and they showed up in the connected iphone App list.  Although the bottom banner showed nearly 5 GB of free space, as soon as I selected one of the App update button (which changed to "will update" the bottom banner change to read "not enough free space."  Then, I tried asking it to deleting an App and it came up with the usual "do you really want to" warning. After clicking yes, it basically did nothing.  I also tried doing a manual backup of the iPhone which just resulted in a very quick "scanning" status message, then nothing. I rechecked my Apple IDs, device authorizations, and restriction settings and they all seem OK. Finally, I shut down and restarted both the Mac and the iPhone then tried it all again with same results. Direct Cell or WiFi App updates on the
    iPhone work fine, but, I prefer doing them via the Mac so all are locally saved, plus, I do not have to do double downloads for my wifes iphone.

    If i click for example on the update button in app store, there is just this ''downloading circle'' and shows loading.. and loading.. and loading and just nothing happens. Also the sympol of the updating app gets grey and there stands ''waiting''.
    If i try to download an App, there is the same on the install/download button and there shows up a grey symbol of the app and nothing else happens.
    No error message or something else. Just shows that it ''loads'' and nothing happens.

  • Cannot update Apps on iPhone only Mac & iPad. I have new ID on latter. Cannot figure out how to change on iPhone.

    I cannot update apps on my iPhone. It has my old Apple ID. Fine on Mac & iPad they accept my new ID (automatically). Tried syncing iPhone with Mac. Didn't  work.

    To change the Apple ID on the iPhone go to Setttings > iTunes & App Store > then tap the Apple ID at the top and sign out.

  • Can't update song via iPhone/iPad

    Not sure if iOS 8 broke this because I haven't updated my playlists in a while. But for some reason, when I try to add a song from my iPhone/iPad, to a playlist, it won't add at all. But if I do it from my Mac, it appears on my devices magically. Works with trying to delete a song off of a playlist. If I delete on a song from a playlist on my iPhone, for example, it will appear as if I removed the song on it, but it won't update on my iPad or my Mac. This has to be an iOS 8 issue because regardless if I am adding/removing a song via my Mac, it updates both my iPhone and iPad. Anyone else having this issue?

    It's probably Apple. They're having a lot of traffic and problems with their services right now. Just try it again in a day or so.

  • Cannot see applications in iphone menu

    Hi I cannot see the applications in the iphone menu so therefore I cannot put applications on my iphone. any ideas? thank you for your help

    if you mean on the phone itself for apps your looking for an icon called App Store (looks like an A made out of a compass)
    if you can't find the app store icon you might have it disabled... check in
    Settings -> General -> Restrictions
    The one you want on for apps is "Installing Apps"
    if it's not disabled try a restart... sometimes the built in icons go awol when moving them around ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430 )

  • IPhone 5.1.1 Update: Quick via iPhone. Way long via iTunes?

    I started to download 5.1.1. via iTunes and the time estimated was over an hour and the file was 300MB (not sure, don't recall).  So, I stopped the download after ten minutes, and went right to the iPhone to download the update.  Both iTunes and iPhone connected via wifi.  The update using the iPhone took five minutes to download and the file was much smaller (50K?).  Why the difference in time?

    The over the air update is incremental so only updates what needs updating, I saw a figure that on some iPhone's the update was about 46mb, the iTunes version I believe downloads the whole new 5.1.1 version of iOS so its much larger nearly 700mb for some iPhone's. Over the air updates work just fine.

    There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
    Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them.
