I cannot update my iPhone apps

i cannot update my iPhone apps - when i try to download updates that are available, i get the message "cannot connect to the iTunes store."  (But I can connect to the iTunes store to purchase a new app.)

I updated to this crappy IO5 thing and ever since, I've been having problems, too.  Of course, I thought I had done something wrong.  Now that I've found you guys here, it's nice to know I'm not losing my mind.
Most of my apps are now missing.  (Purchased and free)  I figured it was a scam by apple to make us buy them again so they could make more money.  Which REALLY irritated me.
My phone shows that I, too, have 6 updates and when I try to update, the apple id is my daughter's.  How do I change that?  Where do I change that?  NOBODY in this house knows what THAT password is!!! 
I went to my itunes account on my computer (signed in just fine with my id and password i've been using for years) and tried to update the apps there.  It said I had 6 updates, then when I hit the update button, it said I had 13.  And now that it's done?  I have 4 more to update, but i get the message "No updates are currently available.  To check for updates on another Apple ID, sign in with that Apple ID".  WTH????
As much money as I know MY family spends between updating phones, the monthly 'subscription' rate to make it all work, the songs we purchase, the apps we purchase, etc (not to mention everyone else in the world that they get money from)........ Apple isn't giving us any warm n fuzzy feelings to make us want to renew any contracts in 3 months and keep the iPhones.  We may be looking into alternate phones - that are not apple associated.
Is anything working for anyone?  Is anyone able to figure out this updating dilema??

  • I cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4.. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    i cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

    How to fix?

    Hello, Olliegirl1. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    When experiencing issues connecting to the iTunes store on an iOS device, here are the troubleshooting steps that I would recommend going through. 
    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 clicking Check 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 guide for 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.

    please help i cannot update my iphone . i am running itunes 10.5 and this updated and installed fine.
    the iphone update will download all 774 mb but each time the download finishes i recieve the same error message.
    this says that the network settings were incorrect or the network timed out please try again later.
    i have tried using 3 different internet networks and the connection have been fine.

  • Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. I have tried evrything, but it does not work and now I cannot update the iPhone s/w. any clue?

    Hi, I have the iPhone 4, 32GB, version 4.3.5 (8L1) and for some reason when I connect it to the laptop, it starts synchronising but never goes beyond step 1. It goes on syncing forever, without actually doing anything. I have tried everything, wiped the phone numerous times, deleted all files from the laptop but still no resolution. As a result, the phone does not really synchronise.
    This started somewhere in May 2011 when I upgraded what proved to be a problematic s/w version and the phone has not recovered since.
    Now I cannot update the iPhone s/w any longer.
    Any clue?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5  Help!

    I can't connect to wifi at home on business hub ? So cannot update my iPhone 5  Help!

    wifi is wifi, and business hub means very little.. this is area for time capsule discussion.. but the standard measures apply.
    1. Set wireless name (SSID) to a name that is short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric. Eg your Business Hub call wireless BH. There is no need for names longer than that.
    2. Set wireless channel for 2.4ghz to 11 or 6 or 1. Please test in that order. In Eurozone you can add 13 or use it instead of 11. They are the only 3 non-overlapping channels.
    3. Use no security to test.. of course this is unsafe long term.. so this is to test for a few minutes only.
    The only security that should be used with N wireless is WPA2 TKIP-AES .. it can be named several different things ie in Apple routers it is WPA2 personal. Use a passkey of 10-20 characters.. more if you are paranoid, mix of upper and lower case + numerics.. so pure alphanumeric.
    4. If it fails set the mode to G wireless. It is more consistent standard.
    If it still fails buy an Apple router and use that as WAP.
