IPhone 3G -- 4 upgrade; apps won't update/install - verification required?

I upgraded my 3G to a 4. I backed up the 3G, went to the AT&T store, they switched over to the 4. I plugged the 4 back into my PC and restored the 3G backup. I had to re-enter some passwords but otherwise everything was restored.
However, I cannot install or update applications. When I try to do this, it says "Verification Required" and I have to hit "Continue." Then it says "Sign In Required" and I hit continue and enter my iTunes MS password. Then it pops up a credit card screen and it wants my 3-digit ID. I enter that and it Done and it pops up an "Address Verification" screen to pick my county.
At this point it gets stuck in a loop and no matter how many times I pick my county, it clears my entry and goes back to that screen.
I tried logging out and back in on the phone, no luck.
I tried updating from Settings, no luck.
I tried logging out and back in from iTunes, which let me enter all of this information, but the phone still keeps asking for it.
I have restarted the computers.
I have restarted the phone.
Unlike the other thread about this, I'm not using multiple accounts. This is very frustrating and irritating.

i can verify that this abject failure occurs on a 3G iPhone running iOS 4 as well.
do NOT NOT NOT "upgrade" to iOS 4 unless you absolutely must.
i get no requests for verification or agreement to boilerplate.
i get no password prompts.
i have no restrictions in iTunes or on the phone to prevent apps installing.
i have restarted phone and computer repeatedly.
and yet the imbecilic software simply grays out the Apps tab in iTunes/Devices/my phone. it's not even as if it lost connection to the phone - if i rearrange apps on my phone itself, when i reconnect to iTunes the grayed-out App tab reflects the changes. music syncs fine. it just won't let me
sync apps.
oh, and iOS 4 brought back the infernal 2-second delay every time you touch the screen in iPod mode. really effing annoying whenever you scroll in cover flow, or actually just all the time.
it makes me think Apple might actually have become evil enough to sabotage customers' old hardware in order to drive new iPhone and iPad sales. the less-cynical view might be that they're just really busy fixing antenna issues, but you can no longer be sure.

What model iPod do you have? If yo have a 2G iPod. many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.

IPhone apps won't update, iTunes Store won't open

I can't figure out why my apps won't update on my iPhone. I have rebooted, deleted the apps that wouldn't update and froze (waiting) and rebooted after that. I may not have the greatest wifi connection ... I am out of town and dependent on hotel/convention center wifi. Went to App Store to reload the deleted apps (some), but same thing. I saw a response regarding iTunes, went there...took forever for iTunes to open, it kept stating I couldn't access iTunes Store, and after hitting "okay" probably 4 times to confirm that iTunes wouldn't open...it did. So I thought that was the problem and returned back to App Store and tried to reload just one app. Well it's been an hour and a half or more, can't reload it. It creeps along and I thought the app was loaded, but no. I can reboot only, not reset because I am no in home like I said. This is more than "fairly frustrating". What the heck can I do?

Do a hard reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and home button together until apple logo appears.

My iPhone 5 won't update/install apps !! Any idea why ?

I own an iPhone 5, an iPhone 4s and an iPad 2.
They are all not jailbroken and are all running on ios 6.0.1
While my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 have no problem updating existing apps or installing new apps, my iPhone 5 won't update/install apps all !!
To be fair, about 2 week ago, all my iPhone 5 update/install won't work but after a day or two, they started downloading.
But now, my iPhone 5 updates and installations have been stalled for a week.
What is happening ? Can anybody please help ? Thanks.

Okay fixed it:
First of all make a backup and sync your iPhone in iTunes.
Next reinstall your iPhone using DFU mode:
(FIND HOW 2 GET IN DFU MODE ON GOOGLE, APPLE DO NOT ALLOW TO PUT IN LINKS HERE :-( )
Then choose to put your latest backup back on your iPhone.
And voila you should see you now can recieve updates from App Store.
(It worked for me)

I have a 5 year old MacBook running OS X v10.5.8 Of course Apple does not provide an OS update and then other software apps won't update because the OS is obsolete. Is there a way of upgrading the hardware so the software can be made current?

The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.

Since updating my iPhone 4S, existing apps won't update and cannot update new apps even after deleting apps to make room. What can I do?

Whenever I try to download a new app, I receive an error message that the app can't be downloaded at this time, try again later. Also, existing apps won't update. I have tried deleting apps to make more room, but so far nothing has helped.

Does it also ask you to contact itunes support?

Apps won't update over wifi

Hi All my iPhone 5 and new iPad won't update apps or download music through wifi the message says unable to download (app name) please try again later with options of retry or done .
This problem of connectivity will only happen when trying to download through iTunes or the apple store if I then check a web page and browse it has no problems using the Wifi. My broadband provider is 02 I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem I have done a speed test through the iPad and I am receiving 5.88 Mbps any ideas ?

I also have the same problem but on an iPhone 5C. everything else like itunes radio work fine, it's just the itunes and app store. I have recently updated to ios 7.1 and some of my apps crash when i open them.

My apps won't update after installing IOS 6.0.1. They get stuck. What's wrong?

You may of had a corrupted install. Connect to iTunes backup then restore. Or update the apps on itunes then sync to the iPhone

My apps won't update or install. I would push the update/install button, and it wouldn't do anything. How do I fix that?

I would do a restore using iTunes. This will re-install the latest iOS 6 with factory settings, then you'll have to re-enter your settings and re-install your apps. But everything should work after that.

Does iTunes Connect Christmas break mean apps won't update with new folios over Christmas?

I have 2 folios that are due to be released to my app this Christmas - both fall within the 22nd-29th window iTunes have chosen to close down.
So even though I can publish my folios through DPS over Christmas and pre-plan my app description in iTunes accordingly - before the 22nd - will those published folios not appear in my app?
Thanks.

You mean updating a paid folio... don't know if that needs approving, too.
Maybe someone else can chime in here (I have no exp in that)

The Apple ID has been changed on my iPad but the apps won't update with the new id and password, including the apps that came with the iPad so I can't delete and reinstall with new Apple ID

What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password. Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?

Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps.

Apps won't update on iPad

Arrrrggghhh! My iPad is buggered. I have 36 updates waiting and none of them will update. I'm away for the holidays so can't connect to my computer. I've tried powering off normally and doing a hard reboot (power + home) - nothing. It shows the black bar across the bottom of the app but nothing is happening. I've done the software update to 5.0.1. And when I click on just one app to be updated is says that it can't be downloaded at this time.
Please help....

I bought a new iPad in 2012. Everything was fine, but now two apps won't update. Message: "Unable to download application. Could not be downloaded at this time." I have 30GB free space. Affects Sketchpad Pro and Adobe Touch. The biggest problem is that I can't use the apps!!!!! I'm okay with using an older version but this update cycle has locked me out of using them at all. Yes, my iTunes is up-to-date and synched to the correct time zone.

My apps won't update and new apps won't download..help?

I have ipad with retina display and my apps won't update and new apps won't download

Is your iPad restricted?
Check Settings > General > Restrictions

My apps won't update, stuck on waiting.

My apps won't update, they have that grey bar on them. Every time I try to update them it says , unable to load. Please help?!?

If you're stuck within an app or you've noticed a problem, simply hold both the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time. It's important to keep your fingers on these buttons until step 3.
After a few seconds the red ‘slide to power off' screen will appear, simply ignore this. Ensure your fingers are still holding down the home and sleep/wake switch.
Shortly after you should see the Apple logo, it's now safe to let go of the iPad's buttons. Your iPad should now boot, beware this process can take up to 15 minutes or so.

My apps won't update on my iPad 1.

My apps won't update on my iPad 1. I tried resetting the iPad and updating it on my iTunes. They say they are waiting and in the meantime I can't use those apps at all.

Do you have a song or podcast in iTunes that did not finish downloading? If you do - finish that one first. The apps will not update until that download is complete.
If that doesn't do it - sign out of your account - Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign out. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and sign in again and see if you can tap on one app and start the download.
