Went to update a game app this morning, had already hit update when the i os7 update screen popped went through with the ios update but after ipad restarted the game update is completely missing any ideas how to get the update back no luck so far

Hello THEVIN7
The next step if it is not updating, would be to delete the app and then download it again. Check out the general troubleshooting for apps purchased form the App Store.

You have a 1st generation iPod Touch.
It can be updated to 3.1.3 by purchase. See here Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

Ever since downloading the latest update to my 4s, I cannot get app updates.

Ever since downloading the latest update to my 4s, I cannot get app updates. When I try to do it on iTunes, I get an errors message: Could not purchase **. An unknown error occurred (11111). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later. Apparently this is an issue, as I'm not the only one having this problem. Apple/iTunes needs to fix ASAP...

Like III said, no street view. But now you have turn-by-turn directions so you can see the entire street in real life. :-)
Google and Apple got into a fight and Google took his ball and went home (or Apple refused to use Google products). No YouTube, either...another Google app. You can download it in App Store. You can also download an app called Maps + Street View. I haven't downloaded, but previews look sharp. You can also go to Google and use their maps on the Internet.

Re: how to get apps for iphone 3g 4.2.1

Re: how to get apps for iphone 3g 4.2.1 all apps support higher version help....

I still have an old 3G which I use mostly as a ipod/radio. By accident I found you can overide the i-tunes block.
1. Select Apps in Apps store icon on the phone.
2. Choose App to download
3. At "Instal" button press it QUICKLY in blocks of 3 presses, keep doing this until it overides the i-tune warning, then if there were legacy versions for os 4.2.1 it says something like "this app is for os 5 or above", but gives you a choice to download an older version. Select this.
Sometimes it says the Apps is for newer hardware, requiring motion sensors, front camera's etc.. just got to accept these ones don't work on legacy hardware.
4. Download does not work for all Apps, esp. newer ones written after os 4.21 or if the developer doesn't have the vintage apps archived- e.g. Instagram downloads, but won't run (wants to update), or WSJ and Barrons stalls and goes through a download loop.
I am not making this up, as I bought this old 3g unit on e-bay, after a complete factory reset I now have:
- Tune-in, FB, Pandora,Skype, Twitter, Bloomberg, MSNBC, Forbes, Marketwatch, Viber, amongst a host of other news apps like LATimes.
Some Apps will download ok, and then at activation says its too old and no longer supported e.g Whats App.
Otherwise, good luck. Tune-in, Pandora, Skype and Twitter is all I need to keep me happy with an old unit, even though I've got newer hardware. Never let anything die unnaturally.

App updates will not download

How can I get app updates that are not downloading? The downloading bar is greyed out and I have 9 apps in queue

@Stevec0331
I always enjoy looking at what applications are ready to be updated. Often times these updates bring about great new features to the device. I notice that were working an Apple device. Once you head into the App Store, it will advise to Update All or you may individually tap update for each app. I would ensure that a data connection or wi-fi connection is available while processing the update of applications. I'm sure you will find this information beneficial.

HT1338 I deleted another user from my computer. But I keep getting app updates?

There were two users on my computer for awhile. I deleted my brother's side when he got his own computer and I keep getting app update alerts. The apps are ones that I know I haven't downloaded, just on his side/user, so I don't know how to get rid of them. It's incredibly annoying that I can't get rid of his profile.

Check inside your brother's HOME Preferences folder for those apps plist files. Trash them & empty the trash. You may want to manually search and/or use Spotlight to find straggler files too.

App updates won't download...error purchasing app message on 8.1.3

hello, since 3-4 days I notice that app updates aren't downloading on my iPad air 2. I have iOS 8.1.3. I see the message "error purchasing this app" being displayed wherever I tap the update button. When i do "update all", nothing happens...I have tried resetting to default functions, without any resolution..appreciate any help I can get with this issue. Thanks, BVPai

Hi, Bvpai.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable your Apps via the App Store on your iPad. Here is the troubleshooting article that I would go through when experiencing this issue.
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 clickingCheck 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 guidefor 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.

"See how to get instant updates on your phone" Doesn't go away. Help?

In the Facebook app when I click on the notifications it says "See how to get instant updates on your phone" at the top. It doesn't go away from the top unless I enable push notifications for it. However, i don't want that. Help?

There are 3 ways to exit a fullscreen app:
Escape key
Command+Control+F
Hover the cursor at the top of the screen until the menu bar drops down then clcik the Arrow icon on the top right.
Have you tried plugging it back into the TV?

That is correct if there is a similar application made for the computer. It will not be sold through iTunes. Either you get it from the developer's website or look for it in the App Store or look for it at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads .

HT201412 app updates will not download what is the solution ?

app updates will not download

I am having a similiar issue, but I am not getting any error messages. The App Store tells me I have updates. I go to update all, then they just hang in limbo.
The first app listed was Pages which I thought was causing the problem as it requires Mt. Lion and I don't have that yet. None of the other apps would update. I deleted Pages from the ipad and tried again. When I go to the App store from my MBP, it tells me there are no updates, so I can't even download them to the computer. The ipad still tells me I have updates. I click the "update all" button but now, only one app loads at a time and I must wait awhile and repeat the update all to have another one load. I have not experienced this at all since I've owned it - over a year. Any insight would be helpful - trying to avoid Restore if possible. Thank you-
