"Cloud on" and 10 other apps cannot be purchased at this time message

How do I prevent this message from popping up each time I try to download a new app?
I have deleted the app cloud on from both my iPad and through I tunes however the message still appears how do I resolve this problem as it is annoying and not what you need what your quickly trying to find new apps.
Many thanks
Steve

Your Users Guide has a whole chapter (at the end) devoted to what you do when things aren't going well, generally following the sequence of
Restart - red slider, then boot up again
Force Quit apps - either via Sleep/Wake followed by Home, or via Recents Tray
Reset - hold Home & Sleep/Wake to force reboot
Reset iPad Settings - Settings > General >Reset
Erase All Content - same as above
Restore iPad Software - iTunes or iOS 5 equivalent
You start at #1 and work your way through until the issue you're seeing goes away. If you get through all of the steps and it still doesn't work, you're pretty much out of gas and have to start talking to Apple.
In your particular case, the app you'd Force Quit in Step 2 would be the App Store one. You may not get that far, as the Restart may clear your issue.

App store reports Pinball HD and 11 other apps cannot be purchased at this time.....

App store reports "Pinball HD and 11 other apps cannot be purchased at this time"..... This occurs whenever I log into the app store. I have already purchased this app (and presumably the 11 others as well). I believe this started when it showed up as an app I should update (for free).
My wife and I share this iPad and we have apps purchased under two different store accounts on this machine. I have tried to log off and sign in with her account and then check updates but with either account I am told that all apps are up to date. All of our credit card info is current. Any clues?

Already on Automatic..... :(
This is an iPad 1 - I've had it since it first came out (ordered directly from Apple). Lots of apps and purchases over the years. My wife got her own WiFi only iPad shortly after mine as she fell in love with it and I don't share well. ;) This only started about 7-10 days ago. I did not update to iOs 5.1 until last night so this predates that. My concern is that when the iPad 3 arrives next Friday that this will transfer over.
Ever since my wife received her own iPad our purchases are pretty much separate.

I keep getting an error message when downloading a new app which states " Zinio and 5 other apps cannot be purchased at this time" and then it let's me purchase the app that I was looking at? Can anyone explain that?

This worked for someone
I had this problem for about six weeks. I was following this forum but was too unsure of what might happen to try the fixes that were suggested.
About two weeks ago I decided to delete the downloads.28.sqlitedb file (usingDiskAid(a free program), on a PC running Windows 7). The original downloads.28.sqlitedb was 936 KB. The new one that the system created is 80 Kb., and has stayed at about that size. After about four days I also deleted all the other contents of the Download folder. Ten days later and still no more problems. Downloads are much quicker, nothing greys-out (as was happening frequently before).
Everything has worked well since with no more error messages.
I am using an iPod 4G, iOS 5.1 (originally iOS 5.0). I do not have a manifest file, and as far as I know, have not had one. DiskAid can search the whole "hard drive" on the iPod.
Deleting downloads.28.sqlitedb and the contents of Downloads worked for me.

Since upgrading to ios7, apps just say waiting and then get the app cannot be downloaded at this time message. We run a proxy server, devices running ios6 have no problems. Anyone know what the problem is? I think apple just needs to fix its new OS.

I work at a school running 10 iPads. We connect to the internet through a proxy server. Prior to iOS7 we had no issues, the devices still on iOS6 work perfectly.
All devices which have been upgraded to iOS7 cannot download apps. I can find the apps in the store, choose to download them, but the icon hangs for a while before returning the "app cannot be downloaded at this time message". Help.

I have this same exact issue. We have even put all apple servers as not even being filtered by proxy and it still wont download anything. Nor will it let us even log in or create a new acct in the app store. It seems its also not just app store related....as it won't even let you check for IOS updates when a proxy is entered.
If anyone has any ideas let us know!

HT201272 I realize that lately every time I try to redownload apps I have previously purchased I keep getting 'app cannot be downloaded at this time'. Please help.

I need help with re loading apps I have previously purchased. I keep getting the message 'app cannot be downloaded at this time'

Hi tmcrae
First check that your device is not full, maybe you may have to delete some photos or apps to make space to do updates. if its not full then you will have to try pluging it into your pc/mac running itunes then doing a backup and restore. Then you should be able to do your updates.
Sorry but i cant think of any other way if its showing as installed already but is not there.
Hope that helps

Cannot download the apps and it keeps saying the app cannot be downloaded at this time

Every time I try to download free apps, it keeps telling me the app cannot be downloaded at this time. I tried to download the same app for 3days and it keeps telling me the same thing

Worked on my iPhone. Tried many methods which in support communities here. All failed (replaced hosts file, disable antivirus/firewall, on/off wifi, sign in/out itunes)
Finally there is a funny "unclick" let me successfully settled this issue. Make sure the option of "Automatically sync when this iphone is connected" is unclicked, at the time when iphone is connected to iTunes. It is the setting at iTunes iPhone Summary page. Hope this can help you so.

TS1702 I'm getting an " application" cannot be downloaded at this time message. With any app I try to download/update. Why is this happening and what can I do about it ?

I am fighting the same error. I gifted an album to mydaughter and she got that when she tried to cash it in. iTunes support was quick to respond saying the would refund in 5 to 7 days. That was 13 days ago and they will not respond now. Try to contact support to see if they can help. Also be sure you do not have restrictions enabled in settings. If your parental controls are set to block certian content ratings this will give you an error as well.
You could also try to purchacs through the iTunes program on Mac or PC. Check your restrictions there too. If your device is company owned your employers may have restrictions enabled preventing certian apps from being installed. Hope that helps.

Apps fail to update on iPad. I get the error message that the app cannot be updated at this time

HI
I keep getting the error message "the app cannot be downloaded at this time" when I try to update any of my apps.

Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.

Apps "cannot be downloaded at this time" - why?

On my iPad, iPhone and Macs, 90% of the time I try to purchase an app or download updates I get this message, over and over and over and over again:
"(App name) cannot be downloaded at this time, please try again later. DONE / TRY AGAIN"
If I try again it gives me the same message instantly. If I click DONE then I can't use my app because it's stuck in download/update mode. If I tap on it a few minutes or a few hours later there's a chance it might start downloading, and an equal chance it will tell me it can't be downloaded at this time.
This has been going on for weeks now. It is the single most infuriating feature of my Apple products. It's not specific to devices so please don't ask me to reinstall the system software on my my iPhone, iPad, iMac and MacBook Pro. It appears to be a taint on my account, or an Apple's store servers.
I am really, really fed up of it now. How can it be fixed?

anybody！

Download from iBooks cannot be purchase at this time

Download from iBooks cannot be purchase at this time

Demo, I tried this but I still get the same message.
When I look at the iBooks app on the iPad screen the slider at the bottom is permanently visible as if it is about to download. When I tap the app to start downloading "waiting" appears underneath for about one second then it disappears and the above message window pops up.
So for the last month I have not been able to read any of the 3 books I recently downloaded. I haven't been able to do much about it as I have been travelling from the UK to Asia (the long way) so Apple stores haven't been on my route. I had hoped to read the books while travelling on various flights but it's been very frustrating not being able to do so.
Thanks for your suggestion. Do you think it could have something to do with my iPad being an older version - MB294B (5.1.1 9B206)? Maybe it's telling me I need to buy a new one.
PS. Exactly the same thing is happening with another of my apps. It is for an online store in the UK which I won't be using again for some time so I'm not too bothered about that one.

When updating my apps most of the apps start to update but then fail to finish. then i gey the notification that the app cannot be downoded at this time. This has been going on for a bit now.

my apps are not updating when I try it starts to load then quits then i get the msg that the app cannot be downloaded at this time

Is anyone getting "unable to process purchases at this time" messages?

For almost a week now i've not been able to buy anything on itunes, including the ipod touch upgrade and it's incredibly frustrating. Every time i try to buy something it says
"The iTunes store is unable to process purchases at this time. Payment processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store. Please try to make your purchase later."
Can anyone help? Can i fix it myself or is it a problem at Apple's end?

I'm getting rather narked at the term 'temporarily' in the error messages since it's been the case since 5pm on Tuesday..
Phoned the AppleCare helpline on Wednesday, they suggested deleting iTunes from my machine then reinstalling, which I'm extremely loath to do..
Took laptop into Apple Store in Glasgow, they couldn't suggest anything other than very heavy traffic on the server from people downloading the iTouch and iPhone upgrades. I guess patience is a virtue, but it would be at the very least polite of Apple to flag up the heavy traffic so customers don't waste time thinking the problem is with their own devices..
Grr..

HT201628 This does not work as iTunes is 'Required by Mac OS X'. Any other ideas? Both my ipad and ipod touch cannot be updated at this time

Neither my ipad or ipod touch are recognised by itunes when connected by USB, or wifi. Itunes only recognises the camera element. Any ideas of how to fix this?

Plug them in to a Windows PC for the purposes of the updates.
