Iphone 4 won't download app updates

My iPhone 4 stalls when downloading updates - IOS 6.0.1. The App store finds & lists available updates, but when I click on install the updates freeze and after a while I get a message saying the download can't be completed at this time. This also freezes the app, so in order to use it I have to delete and restore the app. I thought it was a WiFi issue, but this has been happening for a while even after several iPhone resets and while using strong WiFi. Has anyone experienced this problem and found a solution?

  • IPhine 5s won't download app updates

    IPhone 5s 7.1.2 can't download app updates today. I have 1.9g available space and Apple support says the apps store is working. I'm at home on my wifi router and I can download updates on my iPad.
    I keep getting the popup message that the app cannot be downloaded at this time.
    aany ideas would be appreciated!
    Thanks, Kevin

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • IPhone 5 won't download apps. I click the button to purchase and it starts to install but then cancels it. help

    Hi all,
    I recently just got an iPhone 5 and I discovered that I am unable to download apps on the phone. The minute I click the download button on the apps store, the button will download, immediately stop, and return to having the plus sign signifying it didn't download and was unable to download. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? It did it on my iPhone 4 too, I got the iPhone 5 yesterday and restored it to my iPhone 4 so maybe that has something to do with it. HELP.

    By the way it is able to update apps not download them so I'm very confused.

  • IPhone 4 won't download from app store

    iPhone 4 won't download apps from app store. They start and then hang. This all started after I had to reset and restore
    My phone.

    This issue is happening on older editions of the phone as well.  I'm experiencing the issue with my 3GS and have the same issue when actually using iTunes on my MacBook.

    If you want to use your current ID you will either have to provide a credit card or redeem an iTunes gift card.  Otherwise you can create a new ID without a credit card to purchase free apps by following this exactly as written: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.

  • TS1702 Thanks. I had 6 Apps that needed updating on my iPad original.  I hit "Update All" and that ruined four Apps.  They won't download the updates, nor will they launch and be useable either.  I lost Splashtop 2, Bible!, and Mercury Browser!  Suggestio

    Am I the only fool who clicked on update all when my iPad told me updates were available?  Two updates loaded just fine, but the other four never updated and now lie useless and grayed out. I had 6 Apps that needed updating on my iPad original.  I hit "Update All" and that ruined four Apps.  They won't download the updates, nor will they launch and be useable either.  I lost Splashtop 2, Bible!, and Mercury Browser!  Suggestions?!  I don't want to ruin my access to Splashtop 2 for sure.

    I fixed it by going through a few steps using iTunes while hooked to my computer.

  • Droid X won't download auto updates for apps from Marketplace

    I'm having problems with my Droid x auto downloading app update from marketplace.  When I try to update an app that is supposed to auto update, my Droid X says "starting download" then goes no farther, even if I let it sit for hours.
    On those apps that require a manual update, I have no problems.  They download just fine when I tell them to.
    Is there anyway to set all my apps to manual update, or does anyone have any idea why the auto downloads won't work?
    Thanks.

    OK, I figured it out. With the auto download hung up, I hit the cancel button, and then it let me do a manual download that worked just fine.

  • IPad won't download apps or update them

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

    Since migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and upgrading to iTunes 11, the latter has frozen while syncing my devices, usually while at the “determining apps to sync” stage of the process.  If I am attempting to download app updates before attempting to sync, the problem normally occurs at the first “installing app x” stage.  In addition, the whole iTunes experience is extremely sluggish and will even freeze while searching for a track.  Everything worked fine on Windows 7.  So far, I have repaired the program several times and have checked for compatibility issues, but there is no Windows 8 option in the combo box, obtained after right-clicking the icon and selecting Properties/Compatibility.  As a result, I am unable to sync my devices. If I uninstall iTunes before re-installing, will this affect my iTunes libraries?  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
    1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
    2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
    So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
    So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.

  • My ex's Apple ID plus password request keeps coming up on my iPhone when trying to download Apps, how do I get rid of it please?

    My ex's Apple ID plus password request keeps coming up on my iPhone when trying to download Apps, how do I get rid of it please?

    Tks heaps for that, had a look at Store and ITunes sections, not overly helpful unless I am missing something.
    My issue is that on my computer she would update her iPhone with Software updates via iTunes.
    I have gone and deleted her backups that were still sitting on there.
    If I want to update my Apps on my iPhone when due her Apple ID and password request will come up as an option to use that account if I knew the password and it's synced from my Computer even though she has been gone 7 months now. Is it a syncing issue or is her Apple ID stored in my iTunes backups somehow and keeps coming back? Do I need to de-authorize her account from my Computer?

    If you have an old ID in Settings>iCloud as a result of updating to iOS 7, to change it you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change (you should need to verify the old account).  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
