Cannot update apps because the store is 'temporarily unavailable'

I just seem to have found another (but different) app store error.
The indicator on my iPhone says I have one app to update but when I go to the store on my phone it says one of to things, either the store is temporarily unavailable or that it couldn't connect to the store. However I can still browse other parts of the store (charts, search, featured etc.).
Tellingly once in the app store the 'update' button doesn't have the usual indicator on it telling me there is an app to update. Anyone had this problem? Is this a temporary server side issue?
Thanks,
Adam

This is happening to me. Here's what's going on.
I open the App Store on my iPhone 3G. I can browse apps via any of the "Tabs" at the bottom of the screen. However, when I click the "Update" tab, the "Loading..." message appears and then quickly after that I get a message that states: "The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."
I know this this is not true because:
1) I can browse the store via the other tabs and through iTunes on my comptuer 2) my friend who sits next to me at work, and who also has an iPhone 3G, can get updates. When I just asked him to check, he had updates available which he downloaded and installed without a problem.
This problem has existed for 3 to 4 days now. This is not an issue of the store doing maintenance on their end or something like that. It's a problem on my iPhone.
I have already had to restore this entire phone 2 times. I am not very happy about the prospect of having to do it all again. Please, please, please tell me there is something I can do to fix this without a restore.
I have tried to connect to the store on Edge, 3G, and multiple different Wi-Fi networks (work, home, free wi-fi at a restaurant).
Thanks!

I received the same error message after I had recently updated iTunes to 10.5.1 and I had wirelessly updated 13 apps. I had to go into iTunes and select Apps, on the bottom right it said I needed to update 13 apps. I updated the apps via iTunes and then synced again without an issue.

I cannot update apps because i do not have iOS what should i do?

You are confusing iCloud storage (the storage plan you purchased) with the space on your iPhone. To update over the air you need space on your iPhone. The 13Gb are available storage space in iCloud. The available space on your iPhone is shown in settings, general, usage.
As modular says, the solution is to update by connecting your iPhone to the computer you normally sync with.

I have iTunes open in Windows XP and get an error 45048 message when I try to update apps thru the store. How can I fix this? I have reinstalled iTunes twice.

I have iTunes, latest version, open in Windows XP and get an error 45048 message when I try to update apps thru the store. How can I fix this? I have reinstalled iTunes twice but problem continues.

Try contacting iTunes via email to check if there is an issue with the account. go to apple.com/support/itunes
Click on iTunes Store account and billing and select inquiries. On the right side click on "email us".
Before doing that trying viewing your account information first. Open the iTunes on you mac, look at the menu and select store and select view my account. Try removing the card (this is only applicable if you don't have a pending charges with iTunes) and hit done. Sign out, quit iTunes and sign back in and try updating the apps again.

If your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to use a different carrier then the update locks it back again to the original carrier.

Out of Office error: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.'

Hi,
This is my first post in the forums. Please forgive me if it's in the wrong category or if it's not posted correctly in any way.
I'll try and give you below as much information about the problem we have here as I can.
What we have:
- an on-premises Windows 2012 Standard server that is the PDC, DNS and DHCP server;
- a second Windows 2012 Standard server with the sole purpose of hosting our Exchange 2013 CU7 server;
- Windows 7 PCs with Office Home and Business 2010 v.14.0.7143.5000 (32-bit);
- Outlook 2010 connects through Outlook Anywhere (mail.ourdomain.com).
The problem:
If trying to set up Out of Office through Outlook on the client PCs, we'd get an error message: 'Your automatic reply settings cannot be displayed because the server is currently unavailable. Try again later.' Interestingly, it does work normally for some users.
It works fine for all users if done through OWA.
Tests performed:
User 1 on PC1 has the problem. User 2 on PC2 doesn't have the problem. Both users are members of the same security groups.
- setting up User 2 on PC 1: the problem exists;
- setting up User 1 on PC 2: the problem exists;
- setting up a second Outlook profile on PC2 within User 2's domain account (the one that works), for the same User 2: the problem still exists!
I haven't been able to set up an Outlook account that works since this issue was discovered, although there are existing Outlook accounts that do not have the issue.
Let me also point out we have another issue we are working on and which may or may not be related: the Autodiscover function in Outlook doesn't work. Test E-mail AutoConfiguration results in 'Autoconfiguration was unable to determine your settings!'.
I can see postings in the Internet of other people having the same problem with OoO, but couldn't see a solution that fits my case: some existing accounts in Outlook are fine, other are not and newly created profiles of aforementioned working accounts do not
work. The majority of the articles/threads I read suggest recreating the Virtual Directories in Exchange, but we did that just a month ago (when troubleshooting the Autodiscover problem) and besides if the problem is in the Virtual Directories, I would expect
it to affect all accounts.
Any help in resolving this problem would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you need other details.
Apologies if the posting is not in the right place or not done properly - I'm still learning.

The IIS log files on the CAS might tell you something. Depending on how your proxy server handles NAT the IP address of your connection might be from the proxy server instead of your client.
In any case, a tool like Fiddler (http://www.telerik.com/fiddler) can be extremely helpful in working on problems like this because it can decode the SSL traffic on the client and you can see what's being sent
and what's being received.
Another thing to check (although it's unlikely to be your case) is whether or not your browser (when you try connecting to the autodiscover URL) thinks it's in the "Internet" zone. the "Local intranet", or at a "Trusted" site.
The domain names you use on machines on your LAN should be excluded from being proxyed. Anything with "." in the name will be set, unless excluded, to the proxy server.
Is the time correct on the client machine? Is it more than 5 minutes different to the Exchange machines and domain controllers? That'd be something that would cause Kerberos to fail.
A certificate can be a problem if its expired or if it doesn't have the correct names. But I wouldn't worry about the uglog.com domain just yet. Until you get the Autodiscover working with the SCP you have bigger problems.
If you've never used a WPAD file then don't worry about it. It's very useful if you have a complex network and you want to manage how browsers connect to servers. For example, if you have multiple proxy servers the each manage a different set of names, an/or
if some names should bypass proxy servers entirely and just connect directly. If run a strictly Microsoft network with only Microsoft product that you can manage with GPOs (and you can enforce those GPOs on every machine -- even the BYOD ones) you probably
don't need a WPAD.

Oops! The Store is temporarily unavailable...

I'm using OSX 10.9.2 and iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17) and trying to order a postcard, but I keep getting the "Oops! The Store is temporarily unavailable" since last night.
Everything should be up to date as far as software goes.
I've tried looking around, but can't seem to find any suggestions of any recent problems, only some ol' ones.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Or anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks in advance...

If you're trying to purchsse from the Denmark print store another user reported that Apple support in Denmark contacted him and confirmed that the Denmark print products store has been having problems these last few days. So it's nothing assoicated with your end of the process. You'll just have to wait until they get it fixed.

Just upgraded to lion and now my iTunes says the store is temporarily unavailable and it is unable to check for downloads

I only upgraded to Lion because of iCloud. I have an AppleTV, an iPhone 4S and my MacBook Pro so it just made sense. But now, I was in the process of downloading a season of a TV show that I purchased earlier today and it still had about 15 episodes left to go and it now says "iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable, iTunes is unable to check for downloads" Any help would be appreciated!

maybe they are doing maintenance? I would wait awhile and check back later.

I cannot run iPhoto after update to Yosemite. I cannot update iPhoto because the application store does not have any iPhoto update available. Anyone can advice how to overcome this hassle?

After update to Yosemite 10.10.3 the iPhoto program icon is banned and there is an error message that an update is required to run iPhoto, but the application store shows a message that iPhoto does not have any update available at this time. There is not even any iPhoto program available on the application store. Any suggestion on how to solve this annoyance?

Unfortunately, Apple has removed both iPhoto and Aperture from the Mac App Store so they cannot be downloaded anymore. This means you are forced to migrate to Photos (included in OS X 10.10.3) or, if this app does not include features you need, look for a different app.
Not true. Apple has removed both Apps from App Store so you cannot buy them anymore. But if you have any of these Apps already purchased in the past, then you can still download them on your Mac.

Open App Store, sign in with your Apple ID and go to Purchases tab. If you see iPhoto app listed there close down the App Store and do this steps as this is what worked for me:
Open Finder and go to Applications folder.
Locate iPhoto app
Drag iPhoto app from your Applications folder to Trash (NOTE: Do not emptied Trash yet)
Open App Store app and navigate to Purchases tab.
Click on Install button which is next to the iPhoto app (on the right hand side).
Once iPhoto is downloaded again, test it if its working for you. If all is ok, you can remove your Trash.

You have to have a Canadian credit card, billed to a Canadian account, AND you have ot be physically inside the borders of Canada.
From the itunes store terms of service:
"The iTunes Service is available to you only in Canada, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance."

Cannot update apps because user I'd wont change

I can't update my apps because I can't change my apple ID. I installed most of the apps using an old apple I'd. Do you have to update using the ID you installed the app with?

Do you have to update using the ID you installed the app with?
Yes, that is the ID to which the apps are licensed. You cannot move the license to another ID. You would need to acquire the content new in the other ID.
Why can't you use the old ID?

Cannot update apps because of wrong Apple ID!

Hi,
I bought a new MacBook from Apple Store yesterday and updated to Yosemite. There are updates available for iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and GarageBand but I can't update them. The following error occurs:
"This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
I don't know how to deal with this. If the Apple ID is not mine!!! so how did I update the OS? It is just me that used the laptop and the only Apple ID that is used in this computer is mine, if the updates are not applicable for this Apple ID why does the Apple Store show them to me?!

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
Step 1
A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
Step 2
If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 3
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 4
From the App Store menu bar, select
Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
