Download update apps button not working

Itunes show new apps, go to store updates, shows the apps, click on Download All Free Apps nothing happens, used to work. Now have to download individually.
Whats up with that?

And here I was just trying to open a new topic when I found this. I have an iPhone 5s (iOS 7.0.5) and this problem occurred to me about a week ago as well. I also tried everything as the OP, even hard reset, nothing helped.
Here's a picture of how it looks:
Bear in mind that the apps are updated but the button never changes, not before the update and not after. It always just opens the app. Prior to October 9 everything was working just fine.

IPad App Store not downloading updated apps

I have an iPad 3 64GB that has been updated to iOS 8. In the last two days, the App Store will not download updated apps. It shows them with a red number, but when I click on Update, I get the circle with a square in the middle but then nothing proceeds. If I go to the individual app, it says "waiting…" but if I click it, it does not change to "paused" as it used to when waiting was shown.
My iPhone 5S is not having a problem, nor is iTunes on my computer.
Sometimes, if I sync the iPad with iTunes, the updated apps will copy over to the iPad, but not every time.
I have done a forced restart on the iPad and have also done a Reset All Settings under the General setting.
It appears that something has gone wrong with the App Store app. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix this short of restoring the iPad to new status and reinstalling everything?

Hi,
Try deleting the apps with the issue from iTunes, and then download and update them again.

Unable to download/update apps, lost App World from BB9780 and unable to download App World again

Hi, I see posts about this subject but none have helped me so far. I seem to have accumulated 3 issues
Since a couple of weeks I am unable to download apps from the app world or update apps from the app world.
1. unable to download / update apps from App World
The progress bar of the download progresses some and the it hoves me the error "There was a problem during installation, please try again".
2. While trying to fix this issue 1, the App World icon has disappeared from my BB9780. On the desktop software I see that the App World stll shows as installed on my device (version 3.1.1.121). a search on my device shows nothing though.
3. I try to fix the issue 2 by reinstalling the App World. Everything goes well untill the language selection. Final message is whether I want to replace version 3.1.1.121 with version 3.1.1.121? When continuing I receive the error "Download failed". Detailed error mesage: "909 Application authentication failure".
Please help me how to fix this. I have tried:
-battery pulls
-security wipes
-time zone synch
nothing seems to help.
Thanks in advance. Rob

Hi, jimac.1729.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable to download or update an App. Sometimes simply forcing all apps to close and restarting the device can resolve this issue. Also, try going through the steps outlined below.
Force an app to close in iOS
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

How do I download/update apps using my changed Apple ID?

I recently changed my Apple ID on my laptop and I had some difficulties with things on my iPod Touch 5g. Sometimes when I'm doing something my iPod asks fro my password for my old Apple ID. I just want to make it so my new ID will be properly connected on my iPod. So the problems that I'm having are downloading/updating apps on my iPod. I have like 6 apps to update so I try to update them and every time I try to update them it asks for my old Apple ID. How do I make it so I could update my apps without it asking for my password for my old ID?? Help!!!

To make having apps under two IDs as seamless as possible, go to Manage your Apple ID and change the password on the old ID to match the password on the new ID. Then it won't matter which ID is asking for a password, since it will be the same for both:
Apple - My Apple ID

New internet provider, Apple devices can't download updates/apps but all other devices work fine! help

Hi there
I have changed to a new internet provider, and they configured my router (which was working fine previously with my Apple devices)
It is a D-Link router, and it is connected to the internet via PPPOE. (previous provider did not have this PPPOE configuration)
The technician did the configuration and the Wifi works fine for all my devices including laptops, and friends who use Android.
My Iphone, Ipad, and my friends' ones are the only things that seem not to work correctly.
They can find the network on the router. It then connects for a short time, then either after a few mins of browsing on Safari, or any attempt to download an App or update an App, it fails.
To summarise - All non-apple devices function fine and connect to router. Apple Iphones and Ipads find and connect to Wifi, but the internet works temporarily on browser, and any App update or download will fail. (Wi-fi remains connected)
I am hoping it is a simple router configuration issue and the installation technician missed something. Has anyone ever come across this?
what I have tried - Rebooting router, restarting Ipad, resetting network settings and other things, but I am almost certain it is a router configuration thing.
Just hope someone can help, because I have called my internet provider and if they will charge for a call-out if they find it is not ''their fault'.
Really really appreciate any answers to this one.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

Since last update my facebook app dosen't work

Since the latest update On my ipad 2 i notices that m'y Facebook app dosen't want to run, i diden't checked all m'y apps but mabe somme body has the same problem and know how to solve the problem.

If the reinstall doesn't work, have you thought about just not using it? I access facebook via safari and it works fine.
I've found Facebook's app to be buggy at best, non-functional at worst.

Cannot view any Apple ID in settings, cannot download/update apps

If anyone could help me with this problem I will be eternally grateful.
I have now had my iPhone replaced on 3 seperate occasions since the beginning of January because of various faults, the shop have said they will refuse another replacement so I really need to find out what is causing some of this stuff.
Basically, originally, after a few weeks of happily using my iPhone 4 in a really standard way (no jailbreaking etc. just a few average apps) eventually when I tried to download a new app or update an app I already had, a message would come up saying 'Do you agree to the new terms and conditions' ... I press agree, then an error message appears and states that I have to enable cookies in order to continue. My cookies are already enabled, I have cleared them, restored my iPhone, done everything. Nothing changes that message, every time I have to agree to the terms and conditions and then it tells me to enable my cookies.
This must be in someway related to my other problem. In Settings > Store > View Apple ID. A loading screen appears, then after a while it says enter account info. I do this, then a loading screen appears... then it asks me to enter account info... This happens with any Apple ID (even the guy in the shop tried to use his) It just refuses to show anyone's ID.
So I picked up a new iPhone today (for a seperate reason, the back was wobbly) and I've taken it home and plugged it into iTunes. In order to update the software I had to start it up as a new iPhone. While it was in this new state I checked my Apple ID - everything fine. Then I restored it to the backup I made earlier today, now my Apple ID doesn't work. I am currently in the process of restoring it to an older backup (from about a month ago)
I am fairly certain this will fix the problem of viewing the Apple ID, but this isn't really satisfactory as I have now lost all my photos/contacts/notes/calendar/voice memos/apps/etc...
Does anyone have any idea how I can just avoid this Apple ID / AppStore cookies problem??!
*Sorry for this essay, here are the cliffs:*
-After a while my first iPhone stopped allowing me to download new apps/update them
-A message would appear telling me to enable cookies every time I tried to do anything
-Then I noticed that in Settings > Store > View Apple ID - It wouldn't allow me (or anyone) to view their Apple ID
-The shop replaces my iPhone due to this
-Still having the same problem, I just want to get rid of the problem rather than backing up to a really old backup of my phone
If anyone has any idea I would be so grateful

I suggest reading the manual, but for now:
Backing Up iPhone
iTunes creates backups of settings, downloaded apps and data, and other information on iPhone. You can use a backup to restore these items to your iPhone after a software restore or to transfer the information to another iPhone. See “Updating and Restoring iPhone Software” on page 252.
Backing up iPhone or restoring from a backup isn’t the same as syncing content and other items (such as music, podcasts, ringtones, photos, videos, and apps that you download via iTunes) with your iTunes library. Backups include settings, downloaded apps and data, and other information on iPhone. After you restore iPhone, you need to sync again to get your music, videos, photos, apps, and other content back on iPhone. See “Restoring from a Backup” on page 253.
Apps downloaded from the App Store are backed up the next time you sync with iTunes. Afterwards, only app data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.
Creating a Backup
iTunes creates a backup of iPhone when you: Â Sync with iTunes
By default, iTunes syncs iPhone each time you connect iPhone to your computer. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 56. iTunes won’t automatically back up an iPhone that isn’t configured to sync with that computer. You can also sync manually by clicking Sync in iTunes. Note that iTunes creates a backup only once each time iPhone is connected to your computer, before the first sync that occurs. If you sync again, iTunes doesn’t create another backup.
Â Update iPhone iTunes backs up iPhone before updating iPhone, even if it isn’t configured to sync
with iTunes on that computer. Â Restore iPhone (if you choose to back up)
iTunes asks if you want to back up iPhone before restoring it.
For more information about backups, including the settings and information stored in a backup, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT1766.
=============
With the phone connected click on the Info tab. You will be able to selet a desktop app to sync calendar and contacts. On a Mac you will normally choose iCal for the calendar and Address Book for contacts. Whenever you sync any changes on either the iPhone or Contacts will be copied to the other platform.

Unable to download/update App's

Hey guys & gals,
I have an Ipod Touch which I got last year July, I had purchased iTunes credit and bought a bunch of App's etc.
For the past 6 months I haven't updated or rarely used my iTouch and recently began using it again and found a frustrating problem..
When i try and download (FREE) App's or Update some App's It comes up with a message:
Verification Required
Before you can make purchases, you must tap Continue to sign in, then verify your payment info.
(I have Already signed in at this point with my Apple ID and password)
I hit continue:
It comes up with Account Page with a warning..
"Your account has been accessed from a new computer or device, and you must verify your payment info before you can make purchases. "
It asks for me to update my Credit Card Information, Which i have done.
And my credit card is direct debit and works fine. No problems there although there is little money on that card at the moment.
After I enter my security code, it says:
"Your payment method was declined. Please enter another payment method."
Now I don't have another payment method and I don't understand why I need one if all I'm doing is updating my App's and downloading Free ones.
Help?

Ok,
Will i need a new email address? If so why cant I just use my normal account?
I just tried creating a new account, using my original email..
"Target person/group/service/company ID is required. Please populate it in your request. "
I have entered my email as my ID..
I don't want to have to create a new email just because apple cant fix my account..

Cannot download updates app's, error 4

I cannot download updates in app store. I get the message that there is an error (4). iPhoto and iMove

Did you check your security software settings?
Error 3000-3999: (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3164, 3194, and so on) Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com, or due to your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

Download update app

I am told I need to download the new app, which I do. I make a call, it works fine. I shut Skype down, when I come back to make another call I am told I need to download the app, which I do. I make a call, it works fine. I shut it down again and when I open it up ... guess what? I am told I need to download the new app, which I do ... and so on. How do I stop having to download the new app every time I want to make a call?

Did you uninstall modern Skype? If you continue to click on modern Skype links, they will continue to tell you to upgrade. https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12228/

Unable to open the iTunes store or download/update apps

When I try to open the iTunes store on my iPhone i get the error "cannot connect to iTunes store". When I try to download or update apps I get the loading bar on the app icon, but it never downloads. I contacted apple support and was told to check here. I have already restarted the phone several times. I have disabled and enabled wifi. I verified that the issue is not the wireless network, because I have this issue on 3 different networks as well as 3G. I also have no problems using safari, I am writing this post from my phone. I would love some suggestions to fix this.

Is iTunes endlessly saying "Accessing iTunes Store"? Or is something a bit different going on?

Can I download iMac apps from my work pc?

I don't have wifi at home and am able to use my work computer to download. I am trying to avoid bringing my iMac to work. Thank you.

Is the computer you have at work a PC? If so, then not possible.
Not exactly sure what you mean, however. How does downloading an app onto a computer at work help you to get it on your Mac at home?

Cannot download/update Apps from iPhone 4. Able to log in to iTunes Store

Here is the skinny,
I cannot download apps or update from my iPhone. It gives me a warning "Cannot download this app. Please use the Itunes Store from the computer." I am able to connect to iTunes on the iPhone, but just cannot download anything. From my computer (Pc/Mac) I can download apps, but it's annoying that I have to sync to update my apps.
This happens when I am on both wifi/3G. I've reseted my phone's network setting.
I've been searching around and I do not have shipwreck or sylvian game thing.
Thank you

I have the same problem too, I can't download updates on my iPhone or on iTunes, I can't sign in to my Apple account after I logged out, I tried changing my Password but nothing has changed. When I turn off my iPhone and try to long on to my account in the App Store, it says "Cannot Access (acc email). Review your account information in Settings."
What's going on? I still can't access my Apple account on iTunes.

Downloading/updating apps

when downloading/updating an app, can i go back into the AppStore and download/update another app? if yes, is there a limit?

If you have a number of apps with an available update, there is no limit.
With iTunes on your computer, there is an option to update all apps with an update available, or you can update a selected app only. I usually download updates with iTunes on my computer, so I don't recall if the same is available when updating apps with your iPhone, but there is no limit.

Downloading/updating apps dosen't work
