Certain apps "reset" to waiting after accessing the App Store

I accessed the App Store from my phone and now there are a group of apps that have sort of "reset" and pull out of how I have organized them, show greyed out and say waiting with a progress bar. This doesn't go away. How do I fix this?

Thanks. Tried updating my security number without success. It seems a second complication is that I am currently resident in Norway with a UK credit card registered in the UK App Store. It seems the UK App Store refuses to accept the billing address post code (zip code) for my credit card as it is not a recognized UK code.  This was not a problem before the upgrade to iOS 7. Both my old iPad and iPad mini worked fine before and I have a couple of hundred apps on them. Now neither will allow me to download new apps, though I am able to update current ones. I have also recently purchased a new iPad and I find it won't display already purchased apps. However, I can download many of my already purchased apps directly from the App Store, but by no means everyone. And I am unable to download any Apps not previously purchased.
I don't want to change to the Norwegian store, both because of the incompatibility of apps in different countries and for linguistic reasons, not to mention the need to change them again in a couple of years time. Is there a simple way to get around this computer inflexibility? would be grateful for all good suggestions!

  • Can't access the Music Store.  This thing is driving me nuts!!!

    Ever since installing iTunes V7.x I had stability problems with iTunes and my Video iPod. I finally gave up and rolled back to iTunes 6.04 and restored the iPod to its former firmware. I thought my problems were behind me until I noticed this morning that none of my Podcasts were being updated, even though it looked like it was going through the motions. Every single podcast had a with the message:
    "There was a problem downloading "xxx". The network connection was reset"
    I then tried accessing the Music Store and got the message:
    "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The network connection was reset."
    I checked and re-entered my Apple account name and password, but still no go. If I went to the Apple web site directly, then the Apple store, I had no problem logging in. In the early iTune days I had the same "network connection reset" problem, but Apple apparently fixed it. Now here it is again. It is my gut feel that the problem has something to do with the fact that I depend on a satellite internet feed (Hughesnet). I'm guessing that there is some security feature either in iTunes, the Music Store, or both that is getting confused by the long turn-around time (latency) resulting from using satellite, but no way to prove it (unfortunately, due to poor health, I can't get out to try other internet connections).
    Bottom line is I am stuck with an iPod I can't use because I can't access the Music Store. Any ideas?

    Believe it or not I got mine working finally though I'm not sure which of the following steps, if any, did the trick. I posted this problem in the DSLReports forum. Apparently several people had problems though none mentioned iTunes specifically. The 'fix' was to go into the advanced menu and change the proxy port to something other than Port: 87. The idea was that this effectively turns off the proxy server or I should say forces your receiver to not use the proxy server. Well I tried this and didn't see any difference. Rather than screw anything else up I decided to reset the DW7000 thus restoring the original settings. For some reason it all of sudden could finally access the Music Store, update podcasts, etc.; i.e. it started working.
    From what I've read, each time you reset the receiver it goes out an decides on the proxy server to use (not necessarily the same one each time). I'm guessing the proxy server it picked up after the reset was more iTunes friendly. Of course it's possible that it has nothing to do with the proxy server and the reset fixed whatever was wrong. Bottom line, reset your receiver and see if the access problem goes away. If not, try again. It only takes a few seconds so really you have nothing to loose. Kind of obvious when you think about it. What's the first thing you do when your computer is having a problem? Yep, reset.

    Come on Apple get yer finger out and sort this out soon, its you thats loosing my cash as I cant buy any music!!!

  • Problem after updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista.. I can no longer access the iTunes store..

    Hi
    After updating to iTunes 10.5 on Windows Vista I have found that I can no longer access the iTunes store... I am left with a blank iTunes screen with the loading bar stuck at halfway..
    All other features seem to work... only opening  the iTunes store is failing..
    I have ran the diagnostics feature and this says everything is ok, so I'm a bit stuck
    Please help

    Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!"  You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
    The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3).  I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store.  My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5.  Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs.  I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store. 
    Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
    I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.

    25 apps on my wife's phone need updating and now it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" only when i try to update them for her.  I can access the iTunes store for all other options but not to update.  How can I get her updated?

    Try quitting the App Store:
    Tap the home button to get to the home screen. Then double tap the home button, and hold your finger over the App Store icon. Tap the red when it appears. Tap the home button again to return to the home screen.
    Try resetting:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • After upgrading to Windows 8.1 I can't access the iTunes Store

    After purchasing a new HP computer I was prompted to upgrade to Windows 8.1 and my troubles began.  I tried to sync my iPad with 2,566 songs loaded and iTunes 11.1.3 only recognized 590 songs.  Every time I try to access the iTunes Store it fails to load and iTunes crashes.  Anybody know what's up?

    I think the bigger issue here might be trying to run win8.1 on a system that never had that OS qualified.  I suspect there's a high probability there are some BIOS issues being encountered since the last BIOS for E30 was released well before win8.1 ever came out.
    Since you state win7 doesn't seem to have any issues, I doubt there's a HW issue going on.  The next likely culprit would probably be BIOS.  Unfortunately there's not much chance of getting win8.1 BIOS issues addressed at this point since that product has been EOL for quite some time.

  • Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

    Why is the scroll function not working after accessing the voice feature in settings?

    For some prerecorded audio files the Transpose slider will not work reliably. I found no clear pattern, when it does and when not.
    If all fails, create a loop from the audio file. Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library".
    Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop.
    Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
    You will be able to transpose the sample as described above, like a regular loop.
    For example - a audio file turned into a loop and transposed:

    Hi Mr Lenz
    I had the exact same problem yesterday when i tried to get some music from the store. The same messages appeared on my screen. I just waited for an hour or so and logged on again with no problem. I was able to download music normally. Perhaps there was a momentary glitch at the iTunes store at that time.
    You might try to log on again and see what happens.

    42404 error after downloading itunes (20+ times!) can access the itunes store but can't do any downloads... itunes support has not offered any valid suggestions

    This is EXACTLY what happened to me and many others. Tech support returned most of my money but not all of it. Figure that one out! It is clear no music is downloaded (or in queue), it is clear an unknown error message is produced, and it is clear we, the consumer, are still being charged anyway. Will Apple require a credit card from its customers and alienate those that do not wish to use a credit card? Will Apple insult its customers and make silly suggestions such as 'Use an iTunes gift card' in much the same way a forum moderator has already recommended?
    I have an idea: Acknowledge the problem publicly (via email, for example) and fix it in a future update. Customers will be more understanding if they know there is a temporary problem and Apple is working hard to fix it. Oh, and return our money, please!

  • Ever since updating to IOS6 I cannot access the iTunes store and the App Store sends me to the China site.

    Since updating my phone to IOS 6 I cannot access the itunes store and the app store sends me to the China one.
    I am temporarily in China and have put a Chinese SIM in my phone. Is this why?

    I have still got the problem, I have tried every thing suggested, I think it has something to go with my apple sign in, when signing in & putting in password it just goes grey as though I haven't signed in no error???. I can sign in to this forum with Apple ID, I am a beginner please any suggestions, I did try to make a new Apple ID, put in all detail credit card etc but I can not find it & no confirmation. IPad will be flying out of the window if I can't get it sorted.
