Iphone 4 will not allow me to update any apps or download anything from either the app store or itunes.

I get a message telling me "Cannot connect to itunes store". It worked fine until last night. I've tried deleting all settings, and no change.
I downloaded a couple of apps on Tuesday with no issues, but then on Wednesday evening the error occured.
I have recently changed the email address that acts as my apple ID, but that was at the weekend and I had no issues until Wednesday.
I can however download podcasts through the podcast app.
Anyone have any suggestions? fixes?

Yes, I had thought about the general reset thing, what implications will that have on data/email accounts etc ?
Reset All Settings won't hurt any of your data, just erase preferences.
From the iPhone User Guide: Reset all settings: Choose General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
When you setup the iPhone as a new device, it's like you just pulled the iPhone out of the box. All apps will have to be installed again and you'll have to recreate the data, unless the app pulls it from somewhere on the web.

    restore your app from the trash and then properly uninstall.
    if that fails, CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed

  • HT201269 my iphone will not allow me to press the sync button, any suggestions

    my iphone will not allow me to press the sync button. It is showing as greyed out. Any suggestions ?

    I am having the same issue. After hunting around on the community boards for a while, I noticed that ZoneAlarm Firewall came up fairly often as causing issues with syncing. I re-activated the firewall that came bundled with my less-than-a-year old Windows 7 pc and completely uninstalled ZoneAlarm. I dragged and dropped one of my playlists to the iPhone 3GS and then most of my music then came back, but I am still unable to get all my custom ringtones (created in i ringer) to reload. I've tried dragging and dropping to no avail (I use "manually manage" because I add audio books from the library).
    Others have posted these same issues and the odds that we are all doing the same exact wrong thing seems astronomical - there must be an issue with the latest firmware update. Different iPhone versions, different OS on computers, PC v Mac - all having problems after the latest update. Coincidence? Hmmmm!
    If you do have ZoneAlarm, it might be worthwhile to change that...

    The iCloud storage is meant for your backup, you do not get more space on iPhone.
    You can by connecting to computer iTunes for update then you will not have space problem

    Need help on how to stop this and get the updates to work.

    I am havin' this same problem. I've upgraded to Snow Leopard and when i checked for updates, in this case for 10.6.6 version, when I click to install, and the system should aks to me my password to continue, nothing happens. Then I've tried to install 10.6.6 combo to see what happens, nothing happened. So I started to search for a solution and I finded a guy with this same problem and he said that he went to update section on apple's website and downloaded the version 10.6.1 and then it worked fine. Unfortunately, in my case nothing happened, again.

  • My iphone 4s will not allow me to open any apps that I have downloaded. I have tried a few things but still will not allow me to open. Shows they are open once pushing the home button twice. Please help!

    My iphone 4s will not allow me to open applcations that I have downloaded. I have tried a few things but still will not allow me to open. Shows they are open once pushing the home button twice. Please help!

    Pressing the Home button twice does not show you what apps are running. It shows you what apps were recently used.
    Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again.

  • My iPhone will not allow me to use slide screen? i have powered down and restarted several times. still cannot acces my phone. help needed.

    My iPhone will not allow me to use the slide feature. I have restarted the phone several times. any suggestions?

    Try rebooting.  Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPhone should restart.  See if you can use it when it comes back up.

  • Premiere Elements 12 will not allow me to add any more 'Default Text'

    Premiere Elements 12 will not allow me to add any more 'Default Text'. Being using it fine up until today! Created over 80 words so far for subtitles but for some reason it wont allow me today!!!

    Dave
    Thanks for the follow up. Interesting result.
    What is the specific Music Score that you used in the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Mac Soundtrack that was limiting you in the number of words that could be included as text in the project's opened Titler?
    Please confirm
    a. Working in Expert workspace or Quick workspace?
    and
    b. Was the 12.1 Update in effect before and after you observed that the Music Score soundtrack removal resolved the issue of number of words limit in the Titler?
    and
    c. Did the Titler problem exist if you replace the Music Score soundtrack with a non Music Score music file?
    and
    d. If you moved the Music Score soundtrack to one of the numbered Audio Tracks, did the Titler problem exist?
    If you have no Music Score soundtrack in the project, create your title of 80 plus words in the Titler, close the Titler, and then bring the Music
    Score soundtrack to the project's Soundtrack, does that strategy work for you?
    The above information will help me to think about what happened in your case and give me more insight into how to prevent it happening to
    you in future projects.
    Thanks.

  • Mt iPad will not allow me to update my apps. My username and password are correct and I can buy apps with no problem but when I try and update it just says "cannot open iTunes"

    My iPad will not allow me to update apps although I have no problem buying new ones. It says "cannot connect to iTunes" each time I try.

    Same problem for me, too.  It happens on my iPad, iPhone, and iMac.  Weird because I have great Internet connectivity and I can log into and view my iTunes account.  I've downloaded three new apps with no problem.  But my iPad shows 14 apps needing updates, my iPhone shows 2, and my iMac shows 1.  In all cases, clicking on "update" and entering the password results in the message, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".  It's the same result across multiple WiFi networks, even after resetting them.
    I'll see if someone at the Genius Bar can help and then I will repost.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled GarageBand many times,
    I can't share between iPhone and iPad which is really frustrating.
    Is it an iCloud bug or a GarageBand bug?
    Any ideas?

    APPLE, PLEASE HELP??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    HOW CAN WE FIX THIS?  I PAID EXTRA MONEY SO THAT I CAN HAVE MY MUSIC ON ICLOUD SHARED BETWEEN DEVICES.

  • Ipod Mini will not allow me to add any songs.

    Ok so i have a Ipod Mini.. It worked PERFECT until my last update. My itunes is fully updated (1.4.1). I was about to drag my new songs to my Itune Playlist, and it wouldnt let me. As soon as i would let the song drop in the play list this would come out "file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/admin/Shared/T,does not seem to be a valid podcast url. Pleasecheck that you have entered the correct URL and try again." I am not sure what my podcast URL was..And i dont really know where i can view my podcast url so i can fix it ..
    please help me !! ^_^
    thanks guys!

    "my ipod was linked to another computer when i downloaded itunes onto my lap top it will not allow me to add songs to ipod mini without deleting all the songs can any body give me a simple remedy(ipod is linked to anotheritunes library do you wish to link to this library)?"
    After you click "no" to that message, use one of the suggestions here to get the music from your iPod back to iTunes.
    Music from iPod to computer.
    There's also another method I've seen posted. I've successfully tested this across several different Windows PCs.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    However it appears that no playlists or any other info such as ratings/last played etc will transfer.
    If this is important to you, you may want to use other options.
    There's Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer.
    Once you are sure that the music is safely back in iTunes (and not before), you can click "yes" to that message, associate the iPod with your new iTunes installation and start using the iPod and iTunes as normal.
