ITunes 11.1.5 Won't Update Apps

About Mid Feb 2014, my iTunes 11.1.5 on my MacBook Pro suddenly "refused" to update Apps or download new Apps over my home wifi. However, it had no trouble quickly downloading content like video podcasts and even HD movies.
I searched high and low for a solution on numerous sites including Apple Support and could not resolve this. I have made no changes for months to my wifi/router and I've tried every reasonable-sounding solution offered without success.
However, finally today, after many random attempts at solutions (unblocking firewalls and more), I happened to press the Apple Command key while clicking on the Apps Update button in iTunes and all my Apps started downloading and updating as they should. But if I just press Update without holding down the Command key, the Apps updates don't work. Any ideas what's going on or why? Using the Command key seems to be a useful but undocumented solution.

Once the iPhone is plugged in to the mac, open iTunes. In iTunes, under the library heading on the left side of the screen, click on apps. It should list all of the apps on the connected iPhone. You then can click each app individualy and update them or click update all in the lower right hand corner.
Let me know if that does not work.

awhen i check update From iPhone the it update all apps which are out dated

It sounds like you've already done the things that would fix most iPhones.
You can try restoring your iPhone.
If that doesn't do it, try contacting Apple through Express Lane. They may be able to gather some aditional logs and pinpoint the exact problem.

TS1368 Verizon iPhone 4 won't update apps

For about two weeks now, my Verizon iPhone 4 (ios 5.1.1) won't update apps from the update feature. I can make purchases and otherwise access my account, but although the red icon appears to tell me that there are updates available, I receive the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" when I open the apps app. I have no trouble updating the apps manually (by searching for the app and choosing "install" I am prompted to update.) But I can't update automatically by using the updates icon on the App Store menu.
I have a 4th gen iPod and iPad 3 as well, and they have no trouble updating normally on the same network; nor does my computer. I can't find any reference to anyone else having this problem; can anyone help?
FYI, I have already tried every solution I've seen posted on this site to no avail. They only seem to address the issue of not being able to access the iTunes store at all; I ONLY have this issue with the update function -- purchases and manual updates work fine.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately, the app that is problematic is the App Store app, which is undeletable. Nothing else is giving me a problem.
I did eventually find a thread discussing this problem, and all the solutions are work-arounds, such as update from iTunes on my computer and then sync to my phone. This does work, but it's a bit of a pain to have to do that in order to update. I'd really like to just do it automatically from the device, the way it was intended to work.

IPod Touch 3 won't update apps

iPod Touch 3 won't update apps. When I respond to the notice of an available update, the icon dims and a "waiting" message appears under it. It will hang like that until I delete it and reinstall the new app. I had another problem that has been resolved when I tried to get more episodes of a podcast, I ended up with 11 of them in the queue that wouldn't ever finish. They too would just hang there. I had to delete them all and get them through iTunes. I don't know how to upgrade the apps from iTunes though. Why is this happening just since I upgraded to ios 5.0.1?

If We Update 2nd Gen Ipod Touch From 3.1.3 To Higher Level WilL It Slow my iPod :/
I suppose that's debatable.
My iPod does ocassionaly take a few seconds to carry out a command, but since it is such a powerful device, capable of so much, I'm prepared to wait two extra seconds.
(I have 2nd generation iPod Touch with iOS 4.2.1 on it.)
By the way, since your question has no connection to the one asked by the original poster, it would have been far wiser for you to create your own thread. That way, you are actually more likely to get responsess to your question.

TS3274 iPad won't update apps...

I'm having trouble with my iPad - Won't update Apps...

Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

Update all apps on iTunes on my laptop won't update

28Jun2014
I have a laptop that I usually keep shutdown until I go travel.   I use iTunes for Macintosh, version 11.2.2 (3), 64 bits for both computers.
I have a desk top computer at home that is networked with the laptop through the finder and I transfer music and newly acquired apps using iTunes.
When I have the App Library open, and the Update tab set, I see that I have 200 apps to be updated.   When I selected UPDATE ALL, my laptop starts downloading apps. When the downloads are done, I see that the same apps are in the Update All window.
My internet provider warned me that I have downloaded too many Gigabites.   My internet bill is large enough, I don't want to keep downloading the same app updates and still have the apps un-updated.   I also don't want my ISP to charge me for over use.
What can I do to update the apps on my laptop.
Also, In order to keep the downloads to a minimum, I'd rather just update my desktop then transfer the updated apps to the laptop from the desktop. Is that possible.   I want the laptop to mirror the desktop with regards to music, podcasts and apps as much as possible.
Why won't my laptop update apps?
Thank you for your help with this.

I took it to a ohone shop today and they're going to try and fix the phone without altering the memory, but apparently that's quite hard to do with IPhones
That will void any support from Apple. If you take the device to an Apple store you would be able to get an out of warranty replacement. A third party shop may make things worse and end up costing you more. Apple does not sell parts so all the third party shop will be able to use are parts from damaged or stolen devices. If the third party shop cannot fix the device you will have to pay full price for a replacement phone rather than the discounted price from Apple.

ITunes won't update apps

Since updating to iTunes 11, I can no longer update my apps. I click the relevant button and nothing happens. Any solutions please?
Thanks

Working fine after iTunes reinstall. Thanks.

Won't Update Apps

The App Store says that it won't update my apps because they were bought on a different user or because it was refunded or canceled. I am trying to update Pages, iPhoto, Garage Band, iMovie, Keynote, and Numbers so they came with my computer, which is the new Macbook pro with retina display. I have never changed my iTunes account also. How do I get it to update?

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
4. Buy them.

IPhone 4 Won't Update Apps After Email Change

I changed my Apple ID email online. Then I went into the store settings and signed in with the new one. Worked. Then I went to the app store and it still shows my old Email address when I try to update things. Can't change it there. If I go to the app store>catergories>scroll the bottom, I can see my NEW email address there, but not in the update area. I've synced it in iTunes, I've turned the iPhone off and on a number of times now. I can't update any apps or buy things from the app store because my old email address shows up in ONE PLACE and ONE PLACE ONLY... the update apps area. How can I fix this so I can use the app store once again?
Thanks!!!

I have the same annoying problem.. When my old id-adress came up, i tried to write in the password.. And im positive that i wrote in the correct one, but i won't go through.. So I try to reset that password by getting it on my email.. But I never get a emal.. And now, after trying for a million times, the apps that i tryed to update, no longer shows ???
This is so annoying!!
Please someone help us!
I did try to reset my primary apple-id adress, but it won't change. It says that the adress is already in use..
I fon't grt this?
When you change your apple-id all of your stuff, apps and everything should come along, so that you can update them or whatever as normal even if the apple-id is changed..
This is ********. It shouldn't be this hard !!

ITunes 10.6.3 won't update. If I manually download iTunes, will I have to upload my songs again?

My iTunes won't update after it checks for one. It says one is available then accesses the iTunes store and then nothing happens. If I manually download iTunes will I have to upload my music again?

No. Back the music up anyway.

Apps on AppStore won't update apps. Everytime I hit update on one of the apps, it opens up that certain app and doesn't update it. Any ideas on what's going on?

The apps on my AppStore won't update. It gives me the notification on the App Store on the app, and when I check it and hit update, it just opens up the app. none of the apps will update because all they will do is just open the app. anyone know what to do?

As you can see when I go to my Updates page in the App Store, as an example you can see that Facebook shows an Update button. However, it's already updated and when I click update it simply opens FB.
If I open the App Store and search for Facebook, it shows the Open button next to it. This Updates page has a major bug.
And why does Chrome and Vevo still show up under the Updates page? Shouldnt they be under the Purchased section?
Im still on 7.0.6 but I highly doubt that is the issue as this wasn't happening up until a month or two ago. I thought nothing of it until so many people kept reporting the same bug/error. Has anyone found a fix for this?
