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.

Can OS updates be done on 3G without connecting to a computer?
A family member living in a rural area has an iPad 3G but does not have a computer with Internet connection. Can the OS update be done without connecting to a computer with Internet connection?
An Internet connection from a computer is required to download the update. But the update could be downloaded on a computer that does have a connection and then copied to your family member's computer, if someone would be visiting him or her. Anyone with a computer with an Internet connection can download the update manually from Apple's servers.

Once copied to the family member's computer, it can be installed by Option-clicking the Update button in iTunes and choosing the downloaded file.

Why does itunes not show up my phone and i cant update apps?
i need help. cant update apps and itunes doesnt show up my iphone on the page so i cant do it... what should i do?!
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. -
cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it . i can download apps and music. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?
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. -
Hello! I am trying to sync my iPhone 4 to my iTunes. My phone is connected to my computer, (was able to import pics) but I cannot manage my apps or music in iTunes. I ran diagnostics and it says 'no iPhone found'. It then takes me to Apple Support that says:
The device cannot be restored in iTunes.
An exclamation point, question mark, plug symbol, or "X" appears next to the device's entry in Device Manager.
During an update or restore, the device may no longer be recognized by iTunes
HELP!Hello, Shandey.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
With the symptoms you described, try the step in the article below. See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > If the device is not recognized while in Recovery Mode and If you see two "Apple Mobile Device (Recovery Mode)" entries with exclamation marks on them. Then select the appropriate operating system that you are using.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

I recently updated my ipad and then I connected with my computer for sync, not realising that I had a new version of itunes with none of my apps. Now I have lost all of the apps and books etc, that I had prurchased. How do I get them back?
As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

Somehow my wife has ended up with some of my apps on her iPhone, and I have some of her apps on my iPhone. So, when I update apps on my phone, some of them ask me for her apple ID password. How do I get her apps off my phone.
Do you guys use the same computer with itunes on it? And the best way to get them off is to go into the Setting>Itunes & App Store and sign out of her appleid if it's listed there. Also just delete all of the apps from her appleid off your phone.

I completed the iOS 7.0.2 update and now my screen is locked in the Connect to iTunes position. I am not near my home computer so I cannot connect to iTunes. Please let me know if there is a way to recover this without connecting to a computer.
Use iTunes on any computer to restore your iPhone. Your data
will be gone, but your iPhone will be functioning. You can restore
when you get home.
You may wish to look into iCloud to prevent data loss in the future:

Hi
I just had my xperia Z3c in repairs, and now I seem to have the death screen or something. When I connect to a wall charger or my MacBook, it starts turning on and off, displaying the message "The software update failed. Make sure that your phone is connected to the computer and try again", even when it's connected to the wall charger, not the Mac. I've tried pushing the volume up + on/off button for 10 seconds, and Sony Bridge for Mac doesn't recognize the device. I was told to let it charge for an hour before turning it on at the store, which I did, but again, it starts flashing that message as soon as I connect it to anything.
Pleease help me out
Best regards
MariaConnect your phone to a wall charger > press and hold power & volume up for 10 seconds > let it charge for 2 to 3 hours

Cant update apps on my new imac 2012
have just received my new imac 2012 from apple store but cant update apps. keep getting message " To update this app. sign into the account you used to purchase it". These are preinstalled apps (pages, numbers, iphoto). have spoken to numerous people at apple support but no one can give me answer. this is totally ridiculous. Will I be obliged to return my imac to apple store because no one at apple can help me?
You need to associate the computer with an Apple ID in the App Store.
It's been a while since I had a new system but from memory all I had to do was to sign into the App Store with the Apple ID I wanted associate with the system, this ID will be needed for all future updates for all the pre-installed software. Once you sign in with the ID go to the Purchases page I believe that is where you will link the system and ID.

I cant get the phone to connect to my computer
hi my phone wont connect to the computer, i tried two different cables aswell, its not coming up in itunes and wont charge, any help would be great
Do you have the PB G4 in your signature? Are you running at least 10.4.11 and iTunes 8.2? Those are the minimum requirements.
If so, try reinstalling iTunes. If that doesn't work, remove and reinstall AMDS:

Is there a way to create albums on iPad 2 without connecting to a computer? I heard the iPad 1 did that? It's rather stupid that they don't have that function built in.
If you are referring to photo albums no you can't create them on the iPad with the current iOS software. You could not do it on the iPad original either as stated above.
You can purchase third party apps that allow you to do so. One app that I know of is called Photo-Sort. I am sure there are others available in the app store if you care to search.
You can provide feedback to Apple here and let them know how you feel.

How do I download my itunes to my iphone without connecting to the computer?
How do I download my itunes to my iphone 5 without connecting to the computer? My ports are broken on my computer. Please advise. Thanks
Are the iTunes you are referring to all purchased items?
If so, then you can download them by going to the iTunes app on your device and then click on More>Purchased>Music>Not on this iPhone, then you can selectively click on the little cloud next to the songs you want, or you can click on Download All in the upper right-hand corner.
Cheers,
