Is it possible to auto-download app update in iTunes, like podcasts can do?

Is it possible to auto-download apps in iTunes, like podcasts can do?
I wish I could set app updates, in iTunes, to auto-download every hour when available just like my podcasts do. Am I overlooking some way to do this or is this really a wish-list feature?

It is not possible, I assume due to certain apps charging for updates (as will be the likely case for sat-nav map updates etc). This is why iTunes requests your password for confirmation that you want to install the update, whether it is free or chargeable.
What I would like to see is the option to reject an update! That way, if you don't want to pay to update an app, you can remove the notification spot on your iPhone and in iTunes!

  • Downloading app updates problem - iTunes 11.1

    Since I downloaded and installed the new version, it keeps freezing when downloading app updates, they get so far then sort-of hang. I get no error messages. Is there a way I can stop a download and restart it?

    Hey Steve,
    I had this problem as well and found a way how to solve this:
    You need to reset your iPhone by pressing the Home button and the Power button simultaneously until the iPhone reboots.
    After it rebooted I unlocked the phone, connected it to my PC and ran the iTunes sync without any problems.
    Hope this helps with your issue as well.
    Best

  • Cannot BULK download App Updates after iTunes 9.0.1 Update

    I had a bunch of updates sitting there, and I decided to update iTunes before doing them. I thought that would be smart. However, after the iTunes update to 9.0.1 was complete I got this message when I tried to bulk download the app updates:
    *"The information on this page is outdated.*
    *Click OK to refresh the page. If you have available updates after refreshing, click Download All Free Updates."*
    I don't know what "refresh the page" means; I tried restarting iTunes & restarting the computer and nothing is working. The information is not outdated, as I really do have to download all the updates that are shown. I had to MANUALLY download each update, which is kind of a pain, but at least I was able to get the updates. The "download all free updates" (for a bulk download) button refuses to work though.
    Any ideas? I don't want to have to manually update each app every time if I don't have to. Thanks!

    All I have to do is select Applications from the Library list - then in the lower right corner select - Check for updates - if there are any then I select Download updates from the page that comes up and iTunes d/l the updates.

  • Why am I now unable to download app updates via iTunes?

    I am unable to update my apps in iTunes.  When I log in and search for updates, the list of apps to update populates, but when I click to download the updates, I get the message regarding content for the 17+ crowd, and I acknowledge this, but the download(s) do not start.  My software is up-to-date as of today, but this problem started just before I performed the latest updates.  I can, however, update directly from my iPhone/iPad,iPod.  What gives?

    hi. i had the same problem. i have had to download updates apps one by one and in this way worked. i think it's an apple store problem.
    i have another trouble, if i click on "purchased" a pop up windows come up asking me the password, i type the password and a new pop up windows come up again asking me the password again and so on. i can't see my purchased apps.
    note: i'm sure i have typed the password right, it works for normal download of apps but it doesn't allow me to see purchased apps.

    Hi......looking for help in deleting icloud from my iphone 3G......I cannot receive or make calls. I have changed my password as directed, and the phone is frozen. Any ideas?
    Thanks.....

    Perhaps you would like to calm down and explain EXACTLY what you did and what the problem is, including the EXACT text of any error messages you're getting?
    You're not making a lot of sense.
    You can't "delete icloud". And you certainly can't "delete icloud" from an iPhone 3G. The iPhone 3G can't run anything higher than iOS 4.2.1, which does not support iCloud.

  • How do I download app updates in the new iTunes?

    A few apps of mine have updates that are too large to download via data and wifi on my phone has been broken due to water damage. I used to just go to "Apps" in iTunes, select "Updates," download all that were available and sync the updates that way. I cannot find ANYWHERE to download app updates in iTunes 11. Assistance?

    At the top left is a dropdown where you can select what you want to look at eg Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books and Apps. Select Apps the check for updates button is bottom right.

  • Updating 85 existing apps - Is it possible to cancel one app update version?

         Members:
      Do not wish to continue update of current Skype version to version 4.0.1.1325 just downloaded with 84 other app updates.
    Have not yet synched Touch ver. 10.6.1.7 (iOS 5.1.1) with iTunes/Library/apps.
    Considered deleting the new version of Skype from iTunes, but the warning about losing the Touch version of Skype when the device was synched with iTunes is not the result acceptable.
    Is it possible to still save the old Skype version on the Touch?
    The new Skype version is supposed to be loaded with ads ...
    Is the hard drive iTunes backup still containing the old Skype version?
    If "Yes", can I import the old backup into iTunes, and then reupdate my apps without selecting the new version of Skype this time?
         Thanks,
                             always cautious.

         Hi,  have been fussing since my original post and your prompt reply/solution; but, there's still too much chicken here to commit ...
    Is this clear about my objectives:
      I have an old Skype version still on my 3rd. gen. Touch, and do not wish to upgrade the version to the newer, current version now available at the iTunes Store, and also I have already downloaded 85 update apps from the Store to iTunes for Windows.
    Windows iTunes is waiting to install all 85 update apps, and I do not want the new Skype version with the ads.
    My itunes computer is always authorized, and the auto sych device option is always disabled.
    Are you saying, transfer the purchased apps from the device to itunes; and therefore the downloaded updates waiting in iTunes will be over-written by the older device apps copies/versions still on the device??
    If this chicken explaination is correct, then would removing the synch checkmark in front of the left side of the newer Skype version icon; and the checkmark to the left of auto-synch New programs/apps and the synching to the device be the same result, except that the 84 app updates in itunes would be completed without a reloading of those apps to itunes minus the new version of Skype with the ads.
    Would like to clean this up successfully before synching with a new 4th. gen. Touch, and a new iPhone.
    I do appreciate your involvement towards a sharper image in my mind.
        Thank you,
                                Always Cautious (of course.)

    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.

    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.

  • 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)
