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.

  • XCode 4.2.1 won't download from App Store

    I am new to the developers world. So I decided with great excitment to download and start using xcode. I go to the app in MAS and it just won't download it gets stuck at 10 mb. So I try to download the dmg from the developers site. This time it seems successful. But then when I try to use the dmg it says the file is corrupt. I just cant get to download or install this application? Why does everything seem so hard with the new operating systems!?
    I have not installed previous versions of this app and I am using OS 10.7.3, I am a paid developer account holder. All my specs seem to be fine to download and install, so why won't it work? Any light on this matter would be greatfully appreciated.
    Regards,
    James

    found this and it seems to have worked for the APP Store Issue.
    Bad news is I have waisted almost 2 GIG of download getting them DMG from the Dev centre
    I had the same problem on a MacBook Air that ships with Lion
    This is how you fix it
    0. Close Every App (Safari, iTunes, AppStore, etc)
    1. Launch Finder
    2. Press CMD+SHIFT+G (or click on Go then Go To Folder)
    3. Type the following /var/folders
    4. Open up Console (Spotlight Console and launch it)
    5. Open The AppStore
    6. Try to buy something free and you will see this message "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
    7. Switch to Console and look at the error message
    8/31/11 6:50:37.121 PM App Store: FRPurchaseManager: Preflight operation for 415571499 failed with error: Error Domain=com.apple.appstore Code=0 "The product distribution file could not be verified.

It may be damaged or was not signed., NSUnderlyingError=0x7f9b2464ac40 "The requested URL was not found on this server."}
    In my case the problem was some file in the /var/folders/3p
    5. Quit AppStore
    6. I deleted the entire 3p folder (it gets recreated when you launch AppStore). If you really want to be safe, create a copy of that folder.
    You don't need to restart. Just Launch AppStore and it works!

  • Civ V: Gods & Kings won't download from App store

    I purchased Civ V a while ago from the App store and have been relatively please with it.
    I wanted to purchase the new expansion "Gods and Kings" through the app store, but it's not working.  I have updated my Civ V, and then have gone through the ingame DLC menu and clicked to buy Gods and Kings.  A popup appears asking me if I wish to purchase the expansion for it's listed price. I click yes.  I then must enter my apple ID password.  After doing so, another popup appears: "Improve Apple ID Security:  To help ensure the security of your Apple ID, choose three security questions and answers."  It then prompts me to again enter my apple ID password and click continue.  After doing that, the app store opens, but nothing appears, and the icon just spins and spins like it's working.  I've sat watching that screen for 10-15 minutes and nothing changes.  There's also the option of "Not Now".  If I select that, nothing happens.
    Does it just take forever and I have to wait?
    Is there a way to download the expansion, or are other people having this problem as well?  Is this an Aspyr problem, or Apple problem?

    I've been in touch with Aspyr, and everything they have suggested so far hasn't worked.
    The problem comes from when the app store asks me to select three security questions to proceed.  When I choose continue, the app store opens on a blank screen, and appears to be working, but nothing happens.  I never get to choose my security questions.
    I'm still in contact with Aspyr, but decided I'd reply here in hopes that someone could help.

  • Motion 5 won't download from app store

    Any help? I'm on my MacBook Pro, Brand new

    Just to give you a better idea of whats going on, I'm on my MacBook Pro, I tried downloading Motion 5 from the Mac App Store and when I click "Buy App", in the top left(Next to the back and foward buttons) I keep on seeing  that little progress indicater(the circle). The only problem is I don't see the app being downloaded in the dock and the progress indicater doesn't go away, as if it's unable to download. My MacBook Pro is up-to-date, could the problem be that I have like $1.00 in my itunes account?

  • Mountain Lion won't download from App Store

    Hello, I'm on the Mac OS X 10.6.8 and am currently trying to download Mountain Lion onto my computer. However, after I've made my purchase nothing happens when I try to download the software from the App Store. I've tried restarting my computer and App Store. Any ideas?

    The loading bar for Mountain Lion actually showed up when I restarted my computer by using the software update. The downloading bar is still empty but I'm guessing I simply can expect quite some time for it to download?

  • IPhone4 won't download from App store anymore

    I have an iPhone4 and therefore cannot download iOS 8, but I also have the issue many are talking about, where I cannot download anything from the App store.  I thought it was because I have switched my App store from UK to Germany because I just moved here, but after reading comments, I think it's probably something else??  Please help!

    I purchased mountain lion a month ago an installed on my MacBook Pro. Trying to now install it on my iMac through App Store and its givin me error messages when trying to download from previous purchases saying its temporarily unavailable. Grrrrre

  • Mountain Lion won't download from app store even after I've purchased it

    I have purchased and tried to download Mountain Lion OS X but the icon just says "waiting" and in the purchases tab on the App Store  it says "an error has occurred" and I can't click anything. What do I do? I just want to download it!

    i have resolved the issue.
    I had to close down the App Store, re-open it, and in the purchases tab the error disappeared and the option to resume the download was there again. However, I have spent the last 3 days opening and closing the program, restarting my computer. There is obviously a problem with this because there are other users who've had the same issue. Its frustrating because Apple has already taken my $20. I could have easily gone to a store to buy it if I could.

  • Facetime won't download from App Store

    I bought faceTime, have it on 2 imac computers, trying to download it on my mac air and get the sign in, buy sign in add password, password is right but nothing happens. Have check to see that it is still the beta in applications. I am happy to pay for it again if there is a limit to how many computers you can put it on.
    the computer is authorized, 10.6.6,
    Any suggestions,
    thanks
    Mike

    I put it on two Macs. From the FAQ's I read you can download it as many times as you need to as long as all your Macs are using the same Apple ID.
    I logged in to my Apple account from my second Mac and under purchases (even though it said it as already downloaded) I clicked on it again and the "buy" came up. When I hit the buy button (figuring that the most it would cost me was $.99, it just downloaded and installed on my MacBook, same as on my MacPro and all works just fine. And no additional charges.

  • My iPhone 4s cannot download from app store

    For a couple days now my iPhone 4s cannot download anything from the app store. I cannot download new apps or updates. It does not give me an error message or anything. It just shows the icon on my iPhone screen and it says waiting right underneath it; I've let it go on for a day and it never resolved anything. It was working fine before and now it doesn't. I have not changed any settings and I know my account is fine because my wife's iPhone is also setup to use my iCloud account and it works without problems. I donnot want to reset my iPhone as it is currently set up just the way I need it; both peronal and work stuff. It would be a pain in the rear if I had to reset everything. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Update to my post.
    I called customer Apple support and now my phone works without a problem.
    Here's what I had to do:
    Try resetting network connections. If that does not work go to next step below.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer
    Open iTunes (probably opens automatically)Back up your iPhone to your computer
    Restore iPhone to factory settings (this is what I did. you can skip this step if you're feeling lucky and go straight to the next step). Try to download from app store, if it works, your set; go to next step.Try right clicking on your iPhone an the left menu (iTunes) if you don't see the right options on your screen
    Restore iPhone from previous file (iTunes)
    My iPhone did not restore my downloaded apps, no worries, just go to bought apps on the app store/iTunes and download apps into iTunes. After that, just sync your iPhone to iTunes and your apps should be there.
    I hope that helps, that's what I had to do. I was able to reset my iPhone and all my settings to the way it was before restoring. I did not loose anything but it took about 2 hours.

    1. If you downloaded it for free the first time it should then be free for you forever to re-download and update.
    2. If the app is no longer on the store then you cannot re-download it, I suggest you save an extra copy of the one you already have. I know I backed up my precious phonesabre.
    3. Updating/installing directly on the iPhone has always gone fine for me. I didn't know there were issues.

  • TS1398 iPhone unable to download from Apps Store

    iPhone unable to download from Apps Store using Verizon mobile hot spot or Barnes & Nobel Wi Fi, otherwise connections work fine

    App Store must have been overloaded on holiday weekend because it's working (downloading apps) no problem after 10:30 pm.  If I had known, I wouldn't have wasted several hours trying to figure it out.

  • I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. What should i do?

    I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. I have tried enable and disable restriction, connecting my phone to my laptop and sync from my computer and none of them is working. What should i do?

    Often when this type of thing occurs with missing default apps it is due to a situation where you are unable to 'see' the apps. If you will go to your front display of your device go to settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen layout.
    This reset allows for your apps that have for whatever reason been hidden in such an area as you arn't able to find them now to be returned to the area as which they were when you first had the device.
    As far as the missing Apps that were purchased through the Apps Store if you will go to settings>itunes and Apps store and click where it reads about automatcally downloading apps clicking on the toggle switch AND clicking on the toggle switch which allows for cellular data to be enabled this then will effectively automatically download all apps to your device that was purchased from the App Store.
    Good luck friend.

  • When I try to download from apps store and hit install button it just becomes a colored block and won't let me install anything.

    If you have an iPod with iOS 3.1.3 then it is due to an Apple problem.
