  • Is the iTune app store down for updates?

    Is the iTunes app store down for updating apps at the present moment? Can not get app's to update in new version of 10.4 (80) that came out today!

    Clicking update on each app individually works.
    This also just started with the latest iTunes update. Itunes version 10.40 (80)
    I hade the same problem on both iMac and MacBook Pro.

  • ITunes - App Store - There are updates available that ain't available?

    First of all, I'm starting to think that the iPhone ***** big time, but that's a whole other story...
    So, here's my issue: Apparently there are updates to my applications available. So says iTunes and also the App Store app on the iPhone, both of them reporting the same number of apps available.
    I'm quite sure that there was a button to "update all" on the iPhone on 2.0.1 and 2.0, but that seems to be missing? (but not the point anyway)
    Then, in iTunes, the applications view tells me that there are updates available. When I click that link on the lower right that usually redirects to the update page, iTunes tells me that there are no updates available for my account?!
    How can that be? Either there are or there ain't.
    Is there a way to fix that problem? I would have updated the applications trough the iPhone, but as there are many (44) and I would have do update them one-by-one, I'd like to go an easier way...
    I'm really patient, but I start to hate my iPhone. As it is now, it is just a ******* expensive piece of junk. :-((

    I have fixed a similar issue in my iTunes. Here is my thoughts on why it happened and the fix.
    I had recently added a second computer w/ iTunes with which my iPhone is now synching. I wanted to move my music library synching from work to home.
    On the 1st PC (@ Work) I was synching:
    Info, Contacts
    Info, Calendar
    Ringtones
    Music
    Podcasts
    Video
    Applications
    On the 2nd PC (@ Home) I began synching:
    Ringtones
    Music
    Video
    Applications (this nicely caused all of my iPhone Applications to be copied to this PC, in case of a need for a restore from home)
    After beginning synching on the 2nd PC (@ Home), I disabled synching on 1st PC of:
    Ringtones
    Music
    Video
    Applications (This apparently caused the issue)
    The issue with phantom updates was showing up on the 1st PC (@ Work), but I was not synching Applications here. Apparently, I had updated some Applications from the 2nd PC (@ Home) and iTunes detected this and saw a need to show that my iTunes Applications needed updating. Something not in synch between iPhone - iTunes - App Store I believe.
    The Fix:
    On the 1st PC (@ Work) I enabled synching of Applications and then performed a synch. The phantom updates went away. I noted during the synch that my iPhone apparently updated some of the applications in my iTunes library.
    I hope this helps or enlightens others having this difficulty.

  • Can I change the iTunes/App Store (country) for my Apple ID?

    I will soon be moving back to the United States and would like to know if it's possible to change my Apple ID for use with the iTunes/App Store in the U.S. without losing all my purchases.

    Not it it's an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address.  In that case your choices are to either create an email alias within the existing account, which delivers email to your existing iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a), or create a new iCoud account.  Note: alias addresses are permanently tied to the account that you create them in; they cannot be used to create a new iCloud account or be moved to a different account in the future.

  • Prevent App Store checking for updates in non-administrator accounts?

    Once upon a time, software could only be installed from within an administrator's account. But with Mountain Lion software can be installed from within a "standard" account, as long as you enter the admin's name and password. And software update alerts from the App Store (and other vendors) now show up within standard accounts.
    Is there a way to prevent the App Store from checking for software updates when a standard account is active? One of my users is almost totally computer illiterate; the update alerts completely confound her. Also, if the alerts are ignored in a standard account, they do not show up in the administrator's account until several days later -- or at all.
    I'd really appreciate any help you can offer!

    Thanks so much for checking, Carolyn. Unfortunately this workaround forces the App Store to check for updates in standard accounts: exactly what I'm trying to prevent. From what I can tell by searching, people seem to like this new behavior. I want it gone.

  • How to change Mac App Store Login for Updating Apps

    I purchased a used Macbook from a local computer retailer; when they installed Mavericks and setup the account they used their Mac ID. Now it's showing updates for Keynote, Numbers, Pages, and iMovie but if I choose Update it prompts their username and wont let me change it. I assume those apps are connected to that account so it wont let me update. Is there a way to change the associated login to mine or is it safe for me to remove them and reinstall using my ID? I wasn't sure if they were core apps that would cause any damage if removed and I really dont want to format and start over. Thanks for the help!

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    It is not safe to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
    1a. If you don't own another Mac
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
    If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
    Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
    1b. If you do own another Mac
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    2. Partition and install OS X
    If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
    Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In thePartition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
    3. Other issues
    If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
    If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
    When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.

  • Why does my password for the app store work for updates but not for new purchases

    Very frustrated. I've been trying to download Evernote for days now and it keeps telling me my password is incorrect. I use the same password to update apps on my phone and it works fine.
    Using the 4S
    Any ideas why?
    Thanks
    Michael

    Solved. Talked to support and went into settings/store and signed out. Powered down and restarted and logged back in through settings/store and the app store then recognized my password.

  • App store checking for updates slow

    App store takes over a minute to check for updates even on a 15Mbps+ connection.
    Occures on both a Mid 2011 MacBook Air and MacBook Pro w/ Retina running Mountain Lion.

  • App Store icon for updates needed is incorrect

    The App Store icon on my phone shows that I have apps to update.  When I click on the icon to install them, there are no updates to install.  The number of UNneeded apps is always '3'.  For example, the icon will show that I need 3 updates, when I check there are none to install.  If the icon shows 5 updates, when I check there are only 2 to update.  This just started happening shortly after iOS 7 was released; I have not installed it, nor do I plan to install it anytime soon.  What is causing this?  I took a picture showing the icon indicating 3 updates needed and the update page being blank, and I can post it if desired.

    I've seen reports of this happening when updates have been issued for apps that make them only work on iOS 7, users of earlier versions of iOS get notified that there are updates pending but when you actually go into the app store updates function it realises they don't apply to you because you are on an earlier version of iOS than what the new versions  require.
    In fact I just had a very similar experience on my iPod touch with iOS 6, in App Store app it flagged 7 app updates in red badge but when I clicked on the Updates button it only listed two  apps to update, once they'd been applied the outstanding updates badge disappeared.

  • ITunes App store down? Maybe something significant happening at Apple?

    iTunes app store (purchase or updates) has been down (via iPhone access or computer WiFi) since last night (12+) hours.
    I am in Southern California, so it is the U.S. version I am referring to.
    I can't help but wonder, indeed hope, they are preparing something big like maybe a software update to fix some of the issues with the 3G (like maybe, a working 3G network phone, OS that permits apps vetted by Apple to crash our phone, etc.).
    It is the first time I have seen iTunes app store down for more than a few moments.

    I wasn't able to view the Free Apps on I-Tunes but I was able to view all Apps.
    I have stop downloading or updating Apps because I believe all the problems everyone including myself are having with the I-Phone all has to do with the Apps because I have never had any problems with my phone or I-Tunes until I started to get Apps. I have the G2 I-Phone and since putting Apps on my phone I have reception problems, Phone crashing, Speaker problems, phone Freezing up, alot of drop calls, ETC. I could go on and on but since I have removed almost all of my Apps bringing the phone back to its normal state a lot of the problems I was haing are disappearing and even the I-tunes back up that would take up to an hour to complete is back to almost normal of about 3 - 5 minutes
    I hope Apple discovered the culprit to all the phone problems are coming from the apps and the program they had us installed to use these apps

  • I need to reset my Apple ID on my ipad.  My internet provider was bought by another company, so my user name changed.  So now, when I go into itunes or the app store, I cannot update anything because it asks for my password, but not my apple id.

    My internet provider changed, so my username changed.  I need to be able to reset my appleid NOT my password.  I can't find a way to do this.  Here is a scenario.  I want to go into the app store to update apps, so a box pops up asking for my password, but shows my appleid as the old name.  I have reset the appleid on my mac and itunes at home and works there, but when I try to go into things on the ipad, it automatically comes up with a window asking for my password, but for my old id name.  I went to the manage your id section, but it won't let me in because it wants the password to the old name.  So I think I need to reregister the ipad with my new userid.  Icloud, Itunes, app store, everything like that won't let me in because they still show the user id as the old name.

    On the iPad - go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID. Tap on your old ID and sign out. Then sign in with your changed/new ID.

  • Why is my mac app store not finding updates for iTunes 11.1?

    I have been desperatly waiting all day at work to get home and install iOS7. I get home and plug in my phone to have iTunes tell me this:
    "A new iPhone software version (7.0) is available, but requires iTunes 11.0.5. Would you like to download iTunes 11.0.5 now?"
    I click download and the App Store then informs me that no updates are available.
    Then I go back to iTunes to try again. This time I go to the iTunes menu, then Check for Updates. This message appears:
    "This version of iTunes (11.0.5) is the current version."
    So, why am I no getting an option to update to 11.1? And, why is iOS7 not downloading eventhough iTunes recognizes I have 11.0.5, which is what my error message tells me I need.
    I am at a complete loss and am reaching entirely new levels of frustration.
    If anyone was able to conquer this issue, please help me.
    Thanks.

    Download itunes 11.1 from
    www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    from Safari.  Not Google Chrome! It only offers 11.0.5 in google chrome.  I had the same problem and fixed it by downloading the newest itunes (11.1) from Safari.

  • Is there a way to disable alerts for updates on unused droid razr m factory installed apps?

    Is there a way to disable the alerts for unused droid razor m factory installed aps?  Or how can I manage the settings so these do not pop up?  I literally have used none of their pre-installed apps in 2 years.  I would prefer they just do whatever it is they do in the background.

    If you go into the application manager and disable those apps, that will uninstall updates and stop future update attempts

  • My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application"

    My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
    It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
    Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?
