Cant update apps in itunes it says not orignal software version?

Hi, i have recently had to change my email address and ever since then I have been having trouble with itunes. When i plug in my iphone it syncs fine, but then when i try to update my apps it says it cannot because it is not the original purchased software? Any help would be great.

Did you change the e-mail address associated with your Apple ID or did you create an entirely new one?
Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. If you created a new ID, then you can't update those apps with the new ID.

Upon opening itunes, I try to download Software Version 4.3.5 update. Starts off with estmated time of 58 minutes. Download never completes.

I'm not sure about your problem but i can tell you that since my girlfriend updated her phone to 4.3.5 it doesnt let her put pictures on. I hadn't updated my iphone and could put pictures on my phone. Since i have updated my iphone to 4.3.5 i can not put pictures on my iphone either and results in my itunes library crashing and closing. How do i email apple to let them know of this prob?? Sorry i couldn't help you with your problem.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

Updates are free. Upgrades aren't.

Installed 11.0.3 today. Tried to update apps. iTunes response was, "You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." I REALLY don't understand. I paid for MANY applications and stole or borrowed NOTHING.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Cant buy apps with itunes credit

I just recently got a giftcard but i cant buy apps with it, it says it will be charged to my credit card but i got over 50 dollars in store credit

Just to be clear, you have a US address on your iTunes account, you are buying from the US Apps Store and it is giving you a message that you cannot buy Apps with an iTunes Gift Card? (Not an Apple Gift Card, and iTunes Gift Card).
If it is an iTunes Gift Card, did you have any problem loading it on your iTunes Account on your computer?

Cant update apps on iphone and having trouble with brand new ipad mini also

Can anyone help I cant update apps or download any. I have checked all billing info and thats all ok can access itunes from computer but

Anyone have any suggestions please.

Hi

I can access my account on computer and have re checked all info is correct but iPhone and iPad just won't update an app. This has been going on now for the last few weeks.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Cant update apps on my phone without connecting it to computer

İ had the same problem on my previous iphone 3G. My id an password is correct i can download new apps. İ just cant update apps and purchase anything in games :/

Are you able to download updates for these apps or purchase in app content via iTunes on the computer?
Are you certain that there are no apps on the device that were acquired under a different Apple ID?
If the apps update successfully via iTunes on the computer, simply sync the device to get the updated version on the device.

When trying to update Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps? Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Error 3253 when updating Apps in iTunes

For a few weeks now, I can't update apps in iTunes on my iMac without having an Error 3253 : reinitializing of the connexion. The configuration of my Mac has not changed and I don't have this problem when I connect from my iPad or when I download on my Mac a new app.
I have checked forums about it but found no solution.
Could someone give me a solution ?
Thanks

I had this same issue and it ended up being a firewall on my router. Check out your firewall settings on 3rd party software you may have installed as well as your router firewall.

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" *****.
