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.

    My iPad mini cannot update Apps for a week, please kindly help
    I try to sign out and sign in for my Apple ID. Also restart and soft reset but it did not resolved.
    Thank you

    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.

  • Cannot update Apps in iTunes 11.1.4

    I cannot update my Apps in iTunes 11.1.4. I have 30 that need to be updated and it keeps prompting me to enter the password without giving an error. The same login pop-up keeps coming up. I reset my password and know it is correct. I tried to sign-out of iCloud and iTunes Apple ID, then clear cache in iTunes. This does not help. Another thing that may help is that when I go to the iTunes store, the Apps page is blank, but I can view all other content within the iTunes Store. I have a Mac running Version 10.9.1 that is from 2009 (?) 2.26 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB Ram. Thanks.

    Hello matt_rudo,
    There may be an issue with iTunes' ability to connect with the iTunes Store. I'd suggest following the steps outlined in the following article.

  • Changing country. Can't update apps via iTunes

    Have strange issue with my iTunes. After changing country form Russia to Ukraine my iTunes only searches and displays the number of updates. But when I want to update it and clicking on "update apps" iTunes says "No updates are currently available. To check for updates for another APPLE ID, sign in whit that Apple ID."
    But at the same time my iPhone successfully searches and updates all apps for the same Apple ID, and then transfers it while sync with iTunes. What is the problem with my iTunes?

    The solution:
    Delete all your apps in itunes you have purchased in previous country
    Reinstall it

    Click on the Apps icon in the sidebar in iTunes and click the Check for Updates at the bottom of the window. If it shows updates available, just follow the prompts. Once download, sync your iPhone.

  • Does anyone know how to update apps via itunes

  • Cannot update apps in iTunes

    When I click on the "Apps" link in the left menu bar in iTunes, iTunes indicates that there are "15 updates available" on the bottom of the page. When I click that link, I get the message that "no updates are currently available. To check for updates for another account, sign in with that account."
    When I click on "store>check for available downloads" it comes up with the message "all purchases have been downloaded for this account... "
    Does this imply that some apps on my iTunes were added with another account, and that I should first switch to the other account for the updates?
    If this is the case, how can I identify which apps require updating, so I can remove them and reinstall them using my normal account?

    yes.

    if you +get info+ on an app and go to the summary page, you will see which account was used to purchase the app.

  • Cannot update Apps since loading new IOS

    I have an iPad (not the newest gen. but the one before) and since I upgraded to the latest IOS, I am unable to update my apps.
    I used to have an apple ID that was linked to my AOL account. Then I started using a different Apple ID and before the update, all my apps updated properly and without problem. Since the update, when I try to update my apps (of which there are many) it asks me to enter the password for my Apple ID that is linked to my AOL account (ie.the old account) - which I can't remember. I have tried resetting my password. I tried resetting it by sending myself an email, but for some reaon the email never gets through to my AOL account. I have tried resetting it by going to answer the security passowrd - but it seems that my birthday is not the one that is logged against that Apple ID (I know it sounds weird, but I promise that it is really mine). So I can't reset the password.
    And everything in my iPad is set to the new Apple ID.
    How do I get the apps to update??? I have read that perhaps I have to delete all the apps and reupload them? I sincerely hope that is not the only or correct answer. It would take me ages!
    Thanks for any help.

    Just upgraded to iPhone 5 - now when i am asked to upgrade and App it askes me alternatley for my old mobile me acconut details and then the new iCloud user name and password - how do i change deatils to just one login?

    You cannot merge apple id's. remember that before creating any new ones in the future.
    You have two choices. Live with it, or repurchase the apps under the id you intend to keep using.

  • HT201210 Unable to update apps via iTunes

    I recently updated my iPad2 to iOS7. Huge mistake, but what's done is done. Anyway, since the update I am now unable to update any of my apps. Before the update I had no problems, but now it just kicks out the request and goes into a never ending loop of asking for my password without actually updating anything. Am I the only one with this problem?
    In addition to this, I am now unable to use my messages function or FaceTime. Goes into the same never ending loop.

    If anything like my Asha 311 how about going to Settings > scroll down off screen to connectivity > net connection - set to Wi-Fi first?

  • How to update apps in iTunes 11.0.4.4

    Hi,
    Is anyone able to tell me how I update apps via iTunes in version 11.0.4?
    Thanks

    I saw that the Apps box was unche cked in my General Preferences (Edit -> Preferences).  I checked the Apps box and then "Apps" reappeared in my Sidebar.  If you click on Apps, there is an option for Updates in the menu across the top.  But I didn't have any apps appear on the page after I clicked Apps.  I went to the store and downloaded a free app.  That one appeared in the Apps list.  But my other apps do not appear.  I'm assuming it's something related to syncing (if I sync my device then the apps might reappear).  But I'm having Wi-Fi sync issues as well.  This "update" *****.

  • Can't install/update Apps via App Store * ios 8.1 iPhone 5s

    Hi,
    since the ios update 8.1 i can't install or update apps via App Store. I can't even download free apps or do the free updates for installed apps. Have tried to soft reset my phone, tried to outlog and log in again in the app store, turned wlan off and on and tried to download without wlan. Nothing works.
    I got an 1 year old iPhone 5s with the new ios 8.1. Never got any problems with the phone before, since this update!
    Thanks for your help and greetings,

  • Cannot update apps downloaded with old Apple ID after changing ID

    My wife and I used to share my Apple ID on all mobile devices (iPhone 4S, iPad 2) and Mac so we could share contacts, calendar, purchases (apps & music).  My Apple ID was an inactive email address.  When I bought my iPhone 6 I decided to change Apple ID to a current email address and she created her own Apple ID for her iPhone 4S and iPad 2.  Figured we could still share data through Family Share.  Changed Apple IDs on all devices to the current ones.
    Now, she cannot update apps on her devices as she gets message that her apps were downloaded with another Apple ID.  It asks for password for that Apple ID (my old ID), and the passwords for my previous Apple ID and my new password don't work.  I tried deleting the apps off her devices and then installing again from the Mac we backup to, but that did not work.
    Also, is there a way to share contacts and calendar through Family Share or some other way.  We don't seem to be sharing any longer since making all these changes.  Why did I make the changes?  Because using the same Apple ID on all devices was causing me to get her text messages and vice versa, and other strange things after updating to iOS 8.
    I have iPhone 6, she has 4S and iPad 2.  Have a MacBook Pro circa mid-2010 running Yosemite, version 10.10.2.  Mobile devices run iOS 8.1.3

    It is a good thing you made 2 separate Apple ID.
    I tried deleting the apps off her devices and then installing again from the Mac we backup to, but that did not work
    It's normal it didn't work because you are reinstalling apps (that are on the Mac) that were purchased/obtained from your Apple ID. She needs to reinstall them through the App Store on her device, using her Apple ID.
    share contacts and calendar through Family Share or some other way
    Calendars can be shared through iCloud (A)(without Family Sharing), or using the following method (B) used for the contacts.
    Contacts can neither be shared through iCloud or through Family Sharing.
    To get them synced: Get all of your wife's contact on your iOS device. (you can send them to your iOS device through iMessage)
    then go to your wife's iOS device: Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar.
    From there, disable her iCloud contacts, then add YOUR iCloud account, and select only contacts (and calendar if you want the method (B)).
    This should answer all your questions.
    Cheers
