Error 1004 - unable to dowload/update from App Store

When I try to download/update stuff from the App Store onto my iPhone 3GS, I get:
Error 1004 - please try again later
What gives? Anybody knows?
Am on AT&T.

Thanks, Evan - I tried the solution in the other post (sign out of Apple Store and sign back in) and it did not work for me. I then tried your solution and it worked like a charm. Thanks so much for posting - the error message was driving me crazy.

  • "Unknown error" when trying to get updates from App store...

    Anyone else having trouble with the App store today? Trying to take in updates but get a "cannot be completed due to unknown error" huh?  I've double/triple checked passwords etc, and they're free updates so I don't get it. Deleted apps and tried to re download, but no go..... Thoughts?
    Thank you!

    Hi there. I had the same issue just now. Tried twice and fortunately the apps started to update as per normal. Unfortunately, i'm not able to view my "featured" page. Hv raised the same question just now.

  • Recently upgraded to Maverick from SnowLeopard. Unable to get updates from App store.

    iMac seriously screwing up. HD corrupted. Erased. Installed Maverick (had SnowL before). iPhoto 11 and iMovie 9.0.4both missing after installing Maverick. Downloaded updates from Apple.com and was able to get pictures and movies back and updated to 9.4 for iPhoto and 9.0.4 for iMovie. Got message that both can be updated more. However when I tried, the App store sent message that with my new Apple ID it was bought by different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. True I had changed my password recently, but App store is not getting it.

    I too was being denied updates to iPhoto and was intending to simply delete the apps as I mainly use Photoshop.
    I noticed your communication.
    I went into my account hit reset and then went to install and it worked, I now have iPhoto 9.5.1!
    I probably still won't use it very much but it was maddening being denied the update.
    Thank you for finding such a simple solution!

  • Unable to update from apps store

    After downloading Yosemite I can not update from apps store. This is the prompt I get:
    This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
    Now Apple doesn't recognize the serial number of my iMac.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.

  • How do I remove a secondary apple id from my Mac? I am being prompted for a apple id password for a former user; I do not have the information.  Prevents updates from App Store.

    How do I remove a secondary Apple ID that is not in use from my MacBook pro? The ID does not belong to me and when I attempt to download updates from App Store with my Apple ID, I am prompted for the password of the secondary Apple ID.

    Is this a second hand Mac? If so, you need to erase the Mac and install the version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac from the factory. Then you set the Mac up as new with your Apple ID.
    User Linc Davis explains how a new owner can prepare a 2nd hand Mac for their own use.

  • Why am I getting unable to purchase message from App Store with free apps

    Why am I getting unable to purchase message from App Store for free apps on my I pad?

    Sign out of your Apple ID, reboot yor iPad and sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your ID and sign out.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Go go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store. Sign in. Try to download the free apps again.

  • When downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    when downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    Unfortunately there's no way around this.  you will need that password to update the apps. If he won't give it to you, then i'm not sure what to say.
    You should have kept the account with the Apps you bought yourself.
    Otherwise, as I said, delete the Apps, and buy them again.
    Sorry.

  • Unable to download application from app store

    I had been using iPhone for couple years now. With my new iPhone 5, I am now experiencing an issue with the App Store applications. This is the first time it happen to me.
    Issue: when I try to download apps from App Store, iPhone will have a pop up message saying "unable to download application" with popup buttons of "done" or "retry". I did some research and sadly I am not the first person with this issue. So I had tried other solutions from older posts ( like hard reset, change time, login logout, etc...) and I'm not getting anywhere.
    Question: Does anyone out there has a solid answer for this issue?
    Thanks.

    Is there a debit card associated with your iTunes account - debit cards
    are no longer accepted for payment.
    Is there an outstanding balance due on your account? You must resolve
    that before downloading anything, even free apps.
