I can't install apps at all on itunes or app store even after entering my correct apple id password

I did an all settings reset and my iphone 5S froze so i connected it to itunes to restore it and now when i try to install apps it asks for my apple id and then it does nothing. I have iOS 8

I Have family sharing set up. I am the organizer. Since the 19 th I also have not been able to download any content or update apps on my 5s. All other devices in our family work fine.
Your post is the first I have found that sounds similar. I have an email in to Apple support...

Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading

Google YouTube ad won't close in app store even after downloading -- this means I can't get to the store

i have resolved the issue.
I had to close down the App Store, re-open it, and in the purchases tab the error disappeared and the option to resume the download was there again. However, I have spent the last 3 days opening and closing the program, restarting my computer. There is obviously a problem with this because there are other users who've had the same issue. Its frustrating because Apple has already taken my $20. I could have easily gone to a store to buy it if I could.

I have the same issue. I try to download an app from the App store on my iPhone 5, and just says that I can not use that user ID to purchase from iTunes. I saw a couple of threads that this might be an apple issue? Not sure though.

Still cannot open App Store even after 10.6.8 Combo Update

Any help on this would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I need to get the App Store working so that I can re-install a Lion upgrade that I already purchased before. I had to replace my HD and now with 10.6.8, the App Store will not open.
I have installed the 10.6.8 Combo Update and then done the other software updates through the System Preferences.
This still comes up when I try to open App Store:
"App store cannot be opened because of a problem.

Try uninstalling the App Store app using this utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
Just moving the App Store app to the Trash doesn't delete all the associated files.
Then try the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
See if that will reinstall the App Store so you can re download Lion.
At some point, you may need the original install discs even if that works.
Replacement disc(s) from Apple:   You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.

Mountain Lion won't download from app store even after I've purchased it

I have purchased and tried to download Mountain Lion OS X but the icon just says "waiting" and in the purchases tab on the App Store it says "an error has occurred" and I can't click anything. What do I do? I just want to download it!

i have resolved the issue.
I had to close down the App Store, re-open it, and in the purchases tab the error disappeared and the option to resume the download was there again. However, I have spent the last 3 days opening and closing the program, restarting my computer. There is obviously a problem with this because there are other users who've had the same issue. Its frustrating because Apple has already taken my $20. I could have easily gone to a store to buy it if I could.

I'd appreciate the help and maybe some step by step instructions on how to get it working if you guys wouldn't mind.. thanks

Failed to install App Store on my Mac Book 5.

I followed the instructions to download app store on my mac. I went to Software update, and updated my system, then I restarted my macbook without seeing any dialog to install App Store. After restarted my mac book, I was looking for App Store. I found it in downloads, and I deleted it and emptied my trash can by accident. So I failed to install App Store and try to update my system in order to download the app store again on my Mack Book; however, it says "Your software is up to date."
SO how can I get the App Store after updating the software, but failed to install? I want App Store, and I am Snow Leopard. It's been trying nuts for trying to figure out how to get the App Store.

What instructions do you refer to & where did you find them? As has been mentioned by several other people, the Mac App Store is a part of the OS 10.6.6 update. Apple does not offer it as a separate download. Even if it were available as a separate download, it will not work with any version of Leopard (OS 10.5) or any version of Snow Leopard less than 10.6.6.
Click on the "About this Mac" item in the Apple menu. In the window that pops up, right under the words "Mac OS X" you will see the version of the OS you are running. If it says you are running 10.5.8, then you are running Leopard, not Snow Leopard, & Software Update will only offer you updates for that OS version. To upgrade the OS from Leopard to Snow Leopard you must buy a retail copy of Snow Leopard & install it. Once you do, Software Update will offer you updates for that OS version, including the 10.6.6 one that includes the Mac App Store.

I have 2 macs, 2 iPhones and am looking to buy an iPad. If I buy an app like pages or angry birds from the app store, can I install it on all of them? Is that legal to authorize all of those devices, I think I get up to 5, so that it would work?
Thanks

You can buy and install on all your IOS devices, and separately buy and install on all OSX devices, so 2 purchases.

If I buy Lion from apps store can I install it on all the Macs I own?

If I buy Lion from apps store can I install it on all the Macs I own?

Yes. Each one needs to have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed in order to re-download from the App Store unless you make your own USB flash drive installer:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion.

"one app installed by company"
The last app is needed for when I do work. It doesn't need to run on the background. When I'm doing work, I need to input some information in that app, and sync it to my company's server.
I would like to install some apps (free) of my choosing. But I'm coming across a hurdle...
I choose "App Store" in Home.
I search for a free App (for example the Google Search app by Google Inc)
I'm taken to the app's info screen. I tap the blue "Free" button.
The button becomes a green "Install App" button.
I get a pop-up box saying
Apple ID password
[email protected]
[password]
How can I install apps of my choosing without having a "work app" get deleted? This work app was installed on the "[email protected]" Apple ID.
Thank you.

Ingo2711, when you did this:
I logged out of my AppleID on the iPod, took it to his computer, synced it, which erased all of my apps. I installed the default apps plus one app that he bought using his account info.
You made his computer the syncing computer.
When you did this:
Connected to my Mac and iTunes and tried to sync one of the apps I bought with my account. The app shows up on one of the pages before you start the sync, but once you apply the sync, it does not transfer.
And, of cause, no restrictions set at all.
You changed syncing computers but you can only sync apps (and some other things like photos) from only your one syncing computer.

I installed an update and now I can't open App Store or iCal.

I installed an update, but now when I try to open App Store or iCal, I get this error message:
"App Store cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure App Store works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
I've tried restarting the computer, and I read that removing the programs from your dock and then putting them back could fix it, but neither worked. What's wrong and how do I make it work?

Same problem here. In fact, it started when I installed Mac OS 10.8.1. Since, everything was working super slow. Tried all the tricks that I've read here but nothing worked.
Had to restore my whole Mac from Time Machine. Then everything started to work smoothly except for one thing: App Store cannot open anymore. So I can't install the new Mac OS 10.8.2.
I've downloaded it from Apple, but it won't install. It says Mac 10.8.2 failed due to an error.
I just don't know what to do. So far, Mac OS 10.8.1 has been a giant nightmare to me. I'm a graphic designer who works on Macs for years and years so it's not that I don't know how it works.
I'm hopeless now.

Can't Install Apps Directly To iPod touch

For some reason my iPod touch can't install apps on its own, I have to go through this big process that involves:
1. Transfering the downloaded app to iTunes on the computer
2. Making all the apps wobble to delete the uninstalled app directly off the iPod touch
3. Uncheck the box in the applications folder thing when the iPod touch is plugged in to the computer to completely uninstall the app
4. Sync the iPod touch
5. Then finally add the app back onto the iPod touch through the computer
Then after this long process the app works perfectly, but I recently saw some iPhone 3G commercial and it demonstrated how to download apps and went to the app store on the iPhone, downloaded an app and installed directly all by itself, so I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or my iPod touch is just broken?

Hi,
Do you still have 2.0.1? I had the occasional hiccup with that when downloading to the Touch. I have recently tried again now I'm on 2.0.2 and they seem to have worked OK.
Regards,
Dud

Apple Configurator Can't install app configuration profile bug?

Hey all-
We currently use configurator to maintain 30 new ipads. We have updated the IOS on these devices to 6 and now whenever we install a configuration profile blocking people from installing their own app or in app purchases we get a "Can't install app" error message as part of the refresh process. I understand I am using configurator with a drastically changed device and the profile part of configurator hasn't been updated yet. As of right now the only workflow I have found that works is to
1.) Unsupervice the device
2.) Resupervise it
3.) Reinstall apps
4.)Install the configuration profile blocking app purchases.
I have to do this any time I want to do application updates...
Anybody else runing in to this problem?

Ryan,
I loan all of our ipads on a 4 day basis and I never have them all back at the same time to do that type of sweeping change. Before IOS 6 came out I could have changes waiting for an ipad to be returned and they would take effect then. Now if I update an app for one all of the other ipads we plug in will fail (If I'm not here when they are returned). This is a problem apple needs to fix and not something simple I can work around.
I've pretty much just stopped updating apps but once every month or so till this gets resolved.

I can't install apps at all on itunes or app store even after entering my correct apple id password
