I am unable to download apps because my iOs is not up to date. No update shows up in my General settings, how do I update my iPad?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you are updating using wifi, locate your iPad close to your router so you don't get a wifi dropout (can cause update corruption).

Got iPad Air and 5s and tried to use iCloud to set them up but because the iOS was not up to date I had to set up as new, and now I can't get them to be the same as old phone and ipad2. I have got some contacts and some calendar entries bug no apps or pictures etc
What you would do is set up your new one. Don't try to restore it from the backup, just set it up, update it and then wipe it (settings, general, erase all content and settings)
then set your new ipad up again but this time choose to restore it from the backup of your old one.
Basically you set it up just enough to download and update it, then you wipe it and restore it. -
Unable to download App - iPhone 5c (iOS 7.1)
Hi, I am trying to update / download app from App Store on my iPhone, but getting this message again and again "Unable to download app" - Done. Retry.. Please help!
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
No data is lsot due to a reset. -
I just downloaded the new iOS 7.0.3 software and it told me to download iCloud. So I did and now I can't download or update my apps because it says I have the wrong billing address. I know I have the right billing address. How do I fix the problem?
You can authorise your account on the Mac's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer drop-down menu at the top of iTunes e.g. :
If you still have your PC then you could also copy the content over from that : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 -
My Ipod is Giving Me The Error Code of 1004 So Im Unable To Download Apps Help!!
Im Unable to download apps because of getting the error code of 1004 Help Pleasee
Error 1004 and 1013: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

I am trying to update apps but different apple id is associated with updates than the id in general settings.How do i change id in itune store?
As I stated, you cannot change the Apple ID that an app asks for, it is forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase the app. You need to use the password for the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.
Apps are not transferrable. -
I keep receiving an "Unable to Download Apps" error pop-up on my iPhone 6 for two apps. Neither app is in the App Store anymore. I held down the icon/badge for the app but when I click on the "x" to try to delete the app it will not let me because "" cannot be found. I tried to delete it from iTunes but the only selections I have next to the app are "Install" and "Will Install" but no remove. How do I get these banners to stop appearing and my phone to stop trying to download the two apps?? It is sucking my battery down.
Go into iTunes, create a backup without Apps included, and then use that backup on your phone. Fixed the issue for me, and it didn't even seem to remove the apps like I thought it would. If it does remove the apps you can simply redownload them without too much trouble.

Hi, I loaded an iTunes card and bought an audiobook a few weeks back! I was unable to download it because my wifi was down, my wifi has just been fixed but now my audiobook purchase is not available but the cash has been taken? Any ideas how to solve this
When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Hi Guys - for a few days I have been having problems downloading and updating apps on my iPad and iPhone. The message cycles between waiting and downloading then eventually says unable to download app. Sometimes after many attempts it wil eventually work. I tested it on an old iPhone 3G and got the same problem so it is not an iOS 5 issue. My WI-FI connection is working fine. I was wondering if this is an App Store problem? Anyone else in the UK having this problem?
Hi John
iTunes Support wasn't of any use to me.
I have also been having another problem - with BBC iPlayer and other video streaming not working due to insufficient bandwidth, despite my overall download speed being consistently around 50Gb. This is also affecting AppleTV downloads
I am using Virgin Media as my ISP, and was wondering whether you do as well. This might be the common thread.

Apps wont update after iOS 7.0.2 says "unable to download app".
iPad 2 just did the iOS 7.0.2 upgrade.
24 of my apps are grayed out and unable to use. I try to update all in the app store and it says, "Unable to download app. Could not be installed at this time" and gives me the option of Done or Retry.
I also cannot download new apps.
I have tried:
1. signing out and signing back in. credentials are correct.
2. no restrictions are enabled.
3. hard restart.
4. normal powerdown.
5. Wifi conneciton is good. verified using other streaming apps that do work.
6. 4 gigs of room still on the ipad.
Only thing I have tried is resynching with my computer.
Help! What should I do!?!There must be a real solution. I am not going to randomly delete all my apps one by one hoping that by coincidence it kick starts the waiting ones... I did this in the beginning to check what was going on and it didn't help. I think it is an apple bug and apple needs to fix it. I thought this was an apple support site and not just a place where people give random hunches (sorry, I don't want to be respectless, and I appreciate your attempt to help). I don't know how to get in touch with apple.

Try this - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
