IPad 3 on iOS 6 keeps saying "Unable to Download Application"
normally until I do a soft reset, but the problem persisted until I installed a random app that installed and then the app I wanted installed perfectly, anybody else having these issues?
Your issue is probably one of three discrepancies:
Your internet connection is either too slow or too weak or both. Or you're trying to download a very large application over cellular connection.
Your Apple ID is having issues, such as having your credit validated, identity validated, or similar.
You are trying to download more than one application at a time. If this is happening, pause all of them, then download one at a time.

A few days ago, I tried to redownload Sims FreePlay onto my iPod. I needed more room to update it to the latest update so the app just stayed on my screen but it's as if it's waiting to download. Today, I freed up a good 2GB of space on my iPod so the app should have no problem downloading. Instead of downloading, it says "Unable to Download Application" and that it could not be installed at this time. I downloaded a new app that downloaded with zero problems and I even updated an app with no trouble at all. I've also tried to delete the app so that I could just restart the download but nothing seems to work. Please help me. My progress that's stored on the cloud is going to expire either tomorrow or Saturday.
That meassage and that you can downoad other apps indicates an Apple problem. Nothing you can do except keep trying.

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps.

IPhone keeps saying Unable to Download this item when i'm not trying to download anything.
My iPhone 4S keeps coming up with a message saying "Unable to Download Item" and I don't know what app / music it is talking about so I press done but it keeps coming up like every 10 or so minutes.
Here are some screenshots of it:
It would be really helpful if someone could give me an answer to why it is doing this.Go to Settings > General > Date & Time, make sure it's correct.

Trying to update my apps: keep getting "Unable to download application"
'Unable to download application' error message appears when I try to update most of my apps on my iphone. Then that app freezes and is unusable indefinitely. This started happening about a week ago.
I've synced it with my itunes, no change. Reset, no change. Restart, no change. Help!!!!!!Temporarily disable or turn off your Firewall and Anti-Virus software and try the download again.

My app states "unable to download" when I try to open it. How can I fix this?
- First Force the app to close: Hold down the On/Off button for a few seconds until a red slider appears,
then hold down the Home button until the app quits.
- You can also remove an app from the recents list to force it to close. See “Opening and switching
apps” on page 18.
- Next Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Then delete and reinstall the app.

IPad 2 iOS 8.1 unable to download app updates
I am unable to update any apps after 'upgrading' to 8.1 on my iPad 2. While the performance is a little better than 8.0.2, I can't download any apps. Anyone have a solution?
message returned: "iTunes could not back up the iPad "Dale's iPad" because an error occurred."

All Downloads Say "Unable to Download Application"
I know what that means, of course. However, the iPhone proceeds to download the app, and it works fine. However, if I go to my iTunes, I see that the "downloads" option has also popped up, and those apps that I've just downloaded appear here.
The apps are downloading in two places. I've synced my iPhone, turned it off and back on, yet still, this error pops up for whatever app I decide to "test" to see if the error still occurs. It's more annoying and a hassle than a problem, but I just can't see why it would even do this.
Another symptom seems to be that the iPhone never even asks me for my password before downloading anything anymore - it just goes right ahead and downloads it - which has never happened before. Any ideas?
Message was edited by: RiggahFurthermore these things won't leave my downloads list. They've downloaded about 7 times now, and I'm not exaggerating. They won't go away, no matter how I try to clear them.
I've restored the iPhone now. To earlier today, which didn't solve anything - as soon as I used the apps store it asked for my passoword and instantly engaged in a few downloads that wouldn't proceed past "paused" status - and once just a few minutes ago to an even further restore point which didn't do any good either. -
My Ipad 2 keeps asking:-
"unable to download application 'app' will be available for download when you log into the itunes store on your computer"
If i connect it to the computer it is fine for around a week then it starts asking to be connected again, Is their any reason for this? as it is very annoying espicailly when access to a pc is difficultThere is a 20mb file size limit over 3G.
If you can connect via wifi, there is no file size limit.
If that is not what you mean, I have no idea-never heard of or seen a message like you describe. -
Unable to Download Application this time

Since Nov 14 I havent been able to access iBooks. I get a window saying "unable to download application. iBooks cannot be downloaded at this time" . I have powered off and on countless times but it just won't open. Any suggestions please?
Demo, I tried this but I still get the same message.
When I look at the iBooks app on the iPad screen the slider at the bottom is permanently visible as if it is about to download. When I tap the app to start downloading "waiting" appears underneath for about one second then it disappears and the above message window pops up.
So for the last month I have not been able to read any of the 3 books I recently downloaded. I haven't been able to do much about it as I have been travelling from the UK to Asia (the long way) so Apple stores haven't been on my route. I had hoped to read the books while travelling on various flights but it's been very frustrating not being able to do so.
Thanks for your suggestion. Do you think it could have something to do with my iPad being an older version - MB294B (5.1.1 9B206)? Maybe it's telling me I need to buy a new one.
PS. Exactly the same thing is happening with another of my apps. It is for an online store in the UK which I won't be using again for some time so I'm not too bothered about that one. -
Unable to download application from app store
I had been using iPhone for couple years now. With my new iPhone 5, I am now experiencing an issue with the App Store applications. This is the first time it happen to me.
Issue: when I try to download apps from App Store, iPhone will have a pop up message saying "unable to download application" with popup buttons of "done" or "retry". I did some research and sadly I am not the first person with this issue. So I had tried other solutions from older posts ( like hard reset, change time, login logout, etc...) and I'm not getting anywhere.
Question: Does anyone out there has a solid answer for this issue?
Thanks.Is there a debit card associated with your iTunes account - debit cards
are no longer accepted for payment.
Is there an outstanding balance due on your account? You must resolve
that before downloading anything, even free apps. -

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.
