HT204266 iphone wont update apps

my iphone 4gs wont update apps - i have tried signing in and out of the app store. also rebooted and tried syncing with laptop. just keeps asking for my password and when i put it in it goes back to update

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new apps or software.
If this does not work, set it up as new device, explained in this article:

IPod touch wont update apps but it will install new ones?

My iPod touch 4th with ios 6.1.6 wont update apps, but i can install a new one.
I go to the app store, updates, they show up i can hit update all or do them separately doesn't matter.
Click on update it will switch to installing and ask for my password. Enter it and the installing will change back to update and do nothing.
I have 47GB of space and no more later versions of ios to upgrade to. This one particular app upgrade only requires ios 4. something.
With all this i am still able to install a new app and make purchases.
Any Advise

Go to the App Store and look at the requirements for the update. The update may require iOS 7 or higher. Sometimes updates get coded incorrectly and thus the iPod says an update is applicable when it really is not.

If you're having issues doing the update directly on the phone, try using iTunes on your computer to complete the update.
Ensure you've done a backup & imported any photos or videos from your camera roll first, just in case something goes wrong.

iPhoto and iMovie are part of the pre-bundled iLife that came with the computer. I believe the problem may result from the motherboard change. Contact Apple Support who should be able to help you.

I restored the phone from back up and retried but they wont carry over, on my computer it says the apps are "on the phone" but on the phone screen it only displays the app i had to reinstall from the app store.
Here are screens to give you a better view

"Error 42023" through "Error 42408"
These alerts might occur when trying to authorize iTunes or during launch when iTunes checks for authorization information.
Install the latest iTunes from apple.com/itunes/download/
Remove the SC Info folder.
If that does not resolve the issue, see iTunes: "Error 42408" or "Error 42404" after upgrading to iTunes 9.0.3.

Iphone not updating apps since July 4th

Since July 4th, my iPhone has not updated Apps. It appears to start downloading updates but the process never completes.
The open process has been draining my battery.
I have shut down the phone and restarted.
I have deleted and reinstalled the Apps in question.
Same problems. Apps don't update; the updating process initiates, does not complete and consumes resources in the perpetual but failed attempt.
I read on a blog that Apple had server hiccup on 4 July, but have not since found the remedy for users caught in the aftermath.
Suggestions, please, for what a user is to do.
Thanks!
Don

Thanks for the reply and suggestion, modular747. I did as you suggested. So all my apps are currently up-to-date via iTunes.
The test will be when I receive notice from the App Store that updates are available. I do hope everything goes well.
If the App Store server problem didn't generate this issue, I wonder what did...
Thanks for your assist.

My Iphone wont update

I tried to update my iphone 4s to 8.2 but now its telling mme to connect to itunes. I only have a work computer I use and cannot conect to itunes. I have no way of using my phone right now. Help!

Mine wont update because it requires to much storage and wants me to delete stuff.
That's pretty messed up that I have to delete items on my phone just to update it!!
Than again, I'm seeing lots of 4S users having issues with the new update so maybe it's best we can't update!!
Thanks a lot Apple!!!

HT204266 Can't Update Apps

I cant update any of my apps. Not on iphone ( nothing happens) or on macbook (says "could not complete iTunes request... error number 11111")

OK, I found a temporary solution to this problem. Just TEMPORARY!! The problem seems not to be on a tiny scale and it should be at apple's side.
This solution needs you to have no problem to install new applications that you haven't purchased.
First, try to find a Free App and install it.
Second, when the new free app is downloading, go update your apps. This helped me to update two of my apps.
Notice that if the new free app finished installing first, other apps that hasn't started updating may experience no difference than the problem described in this feed.
Now another trick I tried and worked for two times while trying to update apps. Go to App Store->update page. I just clicked on "update all" button like crazy, and it get two of my apps to update! :-) but this doesn't always work.
PS: I contacted apple support, yet the information they provided hasn't been helpful.
WAITING FOR THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION FROM APPLE.

Why won't my iphone 4s update after installing 1.6?

Are you on wifi or 3G ? If 3G try wifi as I received this message earlier that might suggest there is a problem with apple... Again

Two problems with my iPhone: screen doesn't light up at notifications & iPhone says updated apps still need to be updated

Alright, I'm having two annoying problems with my iPhone. It's an iPhone 4.
I'm using the latest iOS.
The first problem is that when I get a notification (a mail, text message, whatever), I hear the sound that it makes, but the screen doesn't light up. Then, when I click the home or the turn-on / off button (basically when I'm in the lock menu), it doesn't show the notification either. Yet, in the notification settings, I've set up to show them. For example mails. I just received a few mails. For mail, I've selected the banner in the notification center. But I see no banner. I see nothing in fact. I can unlock my phone and go in mail, and see the mail there.
What could be the reason for this? I've recently done some changes on it, I mean, not exactly on the iPhone, but in iTunes. I removed all photos from my iPhone (over 3000) and all songs that were on it. I decided to sync only the latest 3 months of photos and 3 months of music. I don't think it's related but it's the last thing I've done with it, and since then this has been happening, so I thought I'd mention it.
My second problem is that, while I was updating my music and photo library on my iPhone, I also synced all app updates. I have around 6 or 7 of them, lurking there for a while, and I never got the time to download them in iTunes and sync them with my iPhone. So that's what I did as well. Strangely enough, when I visit the App Store app, under Updates, it still tells me I have 5 apps to update. I remember one I updated on the iPhone itself.
They're all listed there with the little bar that shows up when it's loading, except it isn't loading. It's just stuck there, at the very beginning. No, not even at the beginning, because the blue little bar that moves forward isn't even present.The also show up this way on my iPhone "desktop" (Home), and it says "Waiting..." below them.
I've tried syncing again, and also restarting the iPhone, but it didn't help. Anyone know what's wrong here?
I appreciate all help. Cheers guys

Nobody? The second problem is solved! But my phone still doesn't light up or shows a banner or anything when for example a mail arrives?

Iphone wont update on iTunes? Help!

Hi, I need help! I'm not able to update my 4s on iTunes . It starts back -up but only gets as far has 2/7 & then says it can't back-up! Any suggestions? It also needs to be forced closed after because my pc freezes?

I forget if Step 2 is Applications or not, but some people have had an Application that was not fully installed on their iTunes or their iPhone and this has caused it not to Sync. Take a look through your Apps and just see if you downloaded one that is not as yet fully installed.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school enviroment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

After upgrading to IOS 8.1.2 my ipad 4 wont update apps?

Help...I updated my Ipad 4 to ios 8.1.2 and now it will not update any of my apps...

How do you know some stop halfway and others barely start? What are you seeing? While it is possible an app is not compatible with iOS 8.1.2, but I doubt it. If it was working with iOS 8, then it will work with 8.1.2. Try signing out of the App Store and sign back in again.
