IPhone will not Transfer Purchases, iTunes will not download apps.

Hey everybody,
My iPhone 3G S and/or copy of iTunes is behaving strangely. I'm able to download apps directly onto my iPhone, but when I attempt to transfer my purchases back to iTunes it begins the transfer and then just stops without any kind of warning or error message. When I try to download copies of my apps directly from iTunes I get the following message:
"There was a problem downloading “[App Name]”. The required disk cannot be found.
Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again."
I've searched around and found a few problems like mine, but nothing exact. A few articles have suggested a work around solution: unplugging all other USB devices while iTunes syncs. I can't really do that in my case because my entire iTunes library is on an external drive (plus it's kind of dumb to have to do that every time).
Does anyone know what I need to do?

You nailed it. I guess I've been putting too much faith in my little USB hub.
I ejected my external drives, unplugged all my USB connections, unplugged my hub from the wall outlet, plugged everything back in, reloaded iTunes, and now I'm good to go!

    Apps previously purchased will continue to operate wherever you are.    However; you'll not be able to update them other than by using the original purchase details.   What this means is that you can only 'purchase' from a country's store if you have a valid credit card and residence of and in that country.

  • After downloading the lastest update, IOS 6, my iphone will not download apps.

    after downloading the lastest update, IOS 6, my iphone will not download apps. help

    I'm having the same problems. Can't even find out if Apple is working on it. Tried to downgrade but is not supported by apple so error 3194 comes up which is verifying with the apple web site. Which then stops everything. I understand you can modify the "hosts" file to by pass the issue, but hate doing that as it gets involved. May try it if I can't get any satisfaction from apple.

  • HT4993 iphone 4 will not download apps

    MY iphone 4 for the past week will not download apps It starts to but then sends a meessage that it can't

    What is the message you see?..Have you been able to download app's before? When did the issue start? What app are you trying to download? Is this a new device? From your iPhone, go into store then make sure App'a and Data are selected.

  • Will not download apps to Imac

    i can download music video content but my imac will just not download apps from the store
    iphone 3g does it fine and so does macbook pro but this danged imac has got me flummoxed
    can anybody outhere ! help
    i have emptied itunes and reset ...tried with my library empty
    tried loading from library based on the machine and also off on a hard drive all with new virgin copies of itunes
    this is so frustrating as i am begining to use my macbook pro less and less

    You could also partition your drive, or use an external. Clone your current startup to the external or other partition and then install Mavericks on that (or the othe way arround if you want).
    You'll have to reboot to get to those programs, though.

  • TS1368 My iPad will not download app updates or new apps, however all other Internet connections do work, I can connect and browse apps just not download

    I can browse the iTunes store, get on the Internet ,etc, but it will not download apps or updates for my apps. I get a message that it cannot connect to the store

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your Apple ID in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it works.
    If that doesn't solve the problem, go to Settings > General > Date & Time and change the date to a few months in the future and then re-try.

  • My ipad 2 will not download apps how do i fix this?

    My ipad 2 will not download apps when i try to download them they just say waiting and it does this every time I try.

    I had ipad2 almost for eight months and recenytly had problem with appstore but now it is working like before. I exactly did these things:
    Remove those recent app that couldn't insall completely (check your itune and remove your old updates list) and
    go to setting store and sign out of apple ID and sign in again plus turn off all of the automatic updating
    check your available storage (anyway I'm sure you did)
    I also remove all of the app that i heard they have problem somehow like google and angry bird...

  • IPad will not download apps.

    My iPad will not download apps. It asks for my password, I enter it, then the app appears on screen with "waiting." Then nothing more happens. I am able to download email and get on webpages without trouble. We have an airport wireless router hard wired to our cable modem. Have looked at all the suggestions on apple support page...any ideas?

    Do you have any podcasts that could be stuck? Things downloading in the background that might have gotten paused?

    We cannot know. Even calling your post would be an exaggeration/ understatement, depending on how you want to see it. We need hard technical facts - operating system, computer specs, what is the exact error/ problem and so on.

  • TS3274 I pad will not download apps

    My ipad will not download apps, it shows it is downloading, but when
    I click on the icon there isn't anything there.

    That seems really odd. Try rebooting the iPad and see if the apps will launch correctly.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • I had an Itune account for my ipod, and have now got a ipad2 the account detial where updated by my husband and now we can not download apps? can anyone help???

    You cannot download the same Apps that you have on your iPhone. They are two seperate stores.
    The store you have on your iPhone is the same for any iDevice (iPad, iPhone and iPod)
    The store on your MacBook is only for Macs.

  • TS1702 why does my iphone 5s not display apps to my jvc car stereo, when the same apps work with my 4s?

    why does my iphone 5s not displaying apps on my jvc car stereo.  these apps worked with my iphone 4s?

    Blackberries were designed at a time when cellular data was very expensive. They don't do nearly as much as an iPhone, in part, to conserve data use. All modern smartphones will use more data than a Blackberry unless you do almost nothing.
    You do not need to quite apps. Almost no apps run in the background.
    Here are Apple's tips on iPhone battery use:

    If you are really only getting an hour of battery usage and not just engaging in hyperbole (), you should make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.

  • How can I transfer purchased itunes from my computer to my iPod without losing/erasing the current songs on my iPod?

    How can I transfer purchased iTunes from my computer to my iPod without losing all the songs I currently have on my iPod?  I've already burned the purchased songs onto DVDs, but they still aren't recognized as authorized songs that I can copy onto my iPod.  One other note:  The songs I purchased were done so with iTune versions much earlier than 10.0, does that matter?  I couldn't tell you what version though.   

    Not sure what you are saying.
    What is stopping you from adding the songs?
    Are you getting an error message?
    What does it say?
