Droid X won't download auto updates for apps from Marketplace

I'm having problems with my Droid x auto downloading app update from marketplace.  When I try to update an app that is supposed to auto update, my Droid X says "starting download" then goes no farther, even if I let it sit for hours.
On those apps that require a manual update, I have no problems.  They download just fine when I tell them to.
Is there anyway to set all my apps to manual update, or does anyone have any idea why the auto downloads won't work?
Thanks.

OK, I figured it out. With the auto download hung up, I hit the cancel button, and then it let me do a manual download that worked just fine.

  • HT2404 When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying: You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." But I do own the apps. And I haven't changed my ID

    When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software".
    But I HAVE owned the software, for ages. (And, in any case, the apps in question are all free.)
    And I don't have multiple Apple IDs.
    What can I do?
    Any advice much appreciated

    This can occur if you bought the machine used and iLife was reinstalled with another AppleID.
    This also can occur if the "free apps" you downloaded have paid upgraded versions and/or are now payware and you can't get updates.
    All software from MAS is copy protected, it might be free as in "no charge" but it's not free in the sense you can share it with others.

  • Do i have to log in to my apple id in order to use "auto updates for apps" in ios 7

    do i have to log in to my apple id in order to use "auto updates for apps" in ios 7

    This same exact thing started happening to me a few days ago.
    Every time I open the iPod app - I'm prompted for User/Password.  I even changed my password, thinking I forgot it, and still - insists that I enter this information.  If i hit OK or Cancel it just keeps asking like a never ending loop.
    Eventually, when I do fill out the info, it will go away until I re-open the iPod app.  This is more of an annoyance than a real issue - but if it's a bug, I hope it gets resolved.
    Any support in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

  • How to configure iTunes 11.1 to only download ios6 updates for apps?

    Since I will always be running ios6 on my iPhone4 and not ios7, I need to know how to configure iTunes 11.1 to download ios6 updates for my apps in iTunes and remove the ios7 updates that have been downloaded to my mac. How do I do this?

    Thanks for the reply.
    It's quite a pity that Apple defines what ios "is compatible with my hardware" , since the so called "upgrade" to ios7 on hardware that isn't ready for it, is really a downgrade. It's like putting racing wheels of a Formula 1 car on a common car, it's not a good fit. From what I've read and seen on Apple community websites, ios7 will slow your iPhone4, drain your battery life, make apps startup slower.
    And you do pinpoint the problem with Apple nowadays, I choose not to upgrade. I think different. And that's not supported by Apple.
    It's either their marketing strategy to force people to upgrade and brick their phones in order to buy new ones or a great lack of relationship management with the customers. Since the issue of so called "ios upgrades" that result in slower performance for older phones seems to be a continious trend for Apple at the moment.

  • Downloading auto update for Acrobat Prof 8

    After this update, my Adobe Reader X would not run.
    It has security additions that took a long toime to set up  -  would these all be lost if I just re-install Adobe Reader X?
    Any suggestions please?

    Update by author (Michael423):
    Rebooting the PC had no effect, and Reader X still would not load, but I used System Restore to a time just before installing the Adobe Professional 8 auto-update download.
    A message from System restore said an unexpected error had occurred and the system had not been changed.
    But Adobe Reader X would load after that.
    This may be useful for others to try.

  • Whenever I try to download or update an app from the App Store it says " App Store is not available" What should I do?

    Ok so I've had my iPod for almost a year now and I have never had this problem before. But now I'm not able to download apps from the App Store. I am able to get into the App Store and browse apps, but as soon as I try to download something it says "app store is unavailable"
    What should I do?
    BTW!
    I tried signing in/out

    Do you have any Restrictions set that would do that? Settings>General>Restrictions
    Where are you located?
    Are you using the country's store for where you are located?

The restirctions under Generell / Restrictions are off. They want to have the same that they don't have to enter password for updates anymore.

    I have an Iphone 5  6.01.  I have a notice on my app store that I have an update. Tried to update, but it won't.  Connected to Itunes and tried to download update for App.  I can't do that either.  It won't let me update any of the apps.  What is wrong?

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
    Thanks

  • I had to change my Apple ID. However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID.

    However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID. For instance, I had to change my apple ID from (for instance, "[email protected]") to something else ("[email protected]"). I changed it in settings to the new one, but when I go to update apps, my phone is still connected to "[email protected]"
    What should I do?

    In the Finder do a Get Info on one of those files & the folder it's in, report what it says for privileges.
    Oh, did you maybe change your short username/Home Folder's name?

  • In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download.  Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

    In the middle of downloading an update for garage band and lost the connection, now the app won't open or finish the download.  Can I reinstall the app without losing my music?

    The obvious way to resolve this on a computer would be to uninstall the app, then reinstall it, however on an iOS device that would cause all the data assoicated with the app to be thrown away.
    Make sure your iTunes library has the latest updates for all your apps, then backup and restore the device. This should pull back a fresh copy of the app from your iTunes library and then give it the data from your device backup.

  • I've downloaded current update for iPad 2 but it won't install. It keeps coming up as an error. I have deleted many apps but didn't help the situation...

    I've downloaded current update for iPad 2 but it won't install. It keeps coming up as an error. I have deleted many apps but didn't help the situation... What's causing this and how do I fix this?

    What is the latest iOS for iPad 2? Is it iOS 7 or can you update to 8?
    all I remember is that my iPad mini performed poorly under iOS 7. Try to update it to the very latest version. Also you will have to use iOS 8.1.3, because 8.1.2 is no longer signed in case you were trying to install that. You can get the latest IPSW from http://IPSW.me just enter in your device and it will forward you to the right Apple ios download link.
    Another thing is keeping your device memory free, if you have a 16 gig device, it's harder to keep space free. my iPad mini is 16 gig, but all I can ever keep free is 1 GB so I keep it at that. Turn off "iCloud photo sharing beta" and that will help a little bit. also when you do a restore from iTunes, don't restore your backup right away, see how it performs fresh, and then add your apps back in one at a time you might have to sacrifice photos and other personal things for performance.

  • I was downloading the update for my ipad and it kicked me off of wifi and won't log back in and the download can't finish with out wifi

    I was downloading the update for my ipad.  The wifi stopped working and when I try to enter my password it says cannot connect.  The download won't finish unless I'm connected to my wifi.  Any suggestions?

    First restart your WiFi router.
    You can also try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • HT6030 I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer.  Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update. Hmmmm.

    I downloaded Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 and was told it could not be installed because it was from an unidentified developer.  Tried installing download from MailUpdate & advised the disk did not meet the requirements for update.   Expect it's due to being at 10.9.1.  Mail is still teetering between dysfunctional and non-functional.  Advice?

    I'm not sure what "Mail Update for Mac OS X 10.5.6" is. Mac OS X 10.5.6 is Leopard, a system that is quite old at this point. There have not been any Mail updates for Leopard in quite some time. If you are trying to install some old Mail update for Mac OS X 10.5.6 in Mavericks, that won't work.
    If you are trying to install the Mavericks Mail update manually, that's not necessary if you have updated through the App Store. If the App Store shows no updates, you don't need this. (The error message doesn't make sense, and may indicate some other problem with your system, assuming that you were downloading this update from Apple's site.)
    I'd advise you to start a new topic in the Mavericks forum and describe the problems you are having with Mail. Be sure to include specifics, but try to avoid speculating on causes, as responses that may be related to an inaccurate assumption on your part can cloud the issue.

    Am I the only fool who clicked on update all when my iPad told me updates were available?  Two updates loaded just fine, but the other four never updated and now lie useless and grayed out. I had 6 Apps that needed updating on my iPad original.  I hit "Update All" and that ruined four Apps.  They won't download the updates, nor will they launch and be useable either.  I lost Splashtop 2, Bible!, and Mercury Browser!  Suggestions?!  I don't want to ruin my access to Splashtop 2 for sure.

    I fixed it by going through a few steps using iTunes while hooked to my computer.
