ITunes account not downloading app updates/purchases

Little background:
Purchased a new iMac and wanted a shared itunes library between all users. Imported my multiple users (2) from two other macs (unibody macbook 13" and older iMac) via migrate assistant. Subsequently have moved my entire libraries to a shared location.
Heres my problem:
My primary user account will not install apps to my library. The app will download (in iTunes) and will sit in the downloads folder as a temporary file (both for purchases and updates.) Music, TV, and Movies appear to work just fine but apps seem to be the only issue.
Also, this is only happening with one of my two users on the computer. I can log into the other user account, sign in to my iTunes account and download new or update apps, tv, music just fine.
Any ideas?

Apple needs to apply the same logic they use on the iPhone and iPads to the iTunes. Just prompt me for the iTunes account of the App holder. If I know it then I should be able to update it. It's a bit annoying to see that there are apps to update and to have to go through your entire families accounts in iTunes to finally find the correct one.

IPod touch not downloading apps, updates or anything. What should I do?

My ipod touch is not downloading apps, updates or anything. It seems to require a restrictions password for some unknown reason. Can anyone help?

Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod. . Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
- If you are up to file manipulation see the following but it may not work for iOS 6.1.3 or iOS 7

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.

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!

Itunes will not sync app updates to phone

Syncing phone to itunes on Win8. Set to sync music manually. After downloading all app updates to laptop, syncing does not update apps on phone. Thoughts?
Found solution in another thread right after I posted this. Thanks anyway.

Hi throgs!
You may want to try to manually manage the music on your iPod touch. You can do this by following the directions in the following article, and attempting to sync your music that way:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
If you do not wish to manually manage your music, you can also try to sync automatically, but first you will want to sync the iPod with the "Sync Music" box checked, but no boxes checked in the fields for Genre, Album, Artist, or Playlist. Then choose the items you would like to sync from those fields and attempt to sync them again. This will wipe out the music that is on your iPod now, but may allow you to sync the music back onto the iPod after that. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

How can I tell itunes to install iPhone App updates automatically?

ITunes 12 can download app updates. Right now I have to connect my iPhone, go the installed apps and click on (for each updated app) "update" to change it to "will update" and then click "sync". How can I tell iTunes to automatically update any updated app currently on the iPhone?

I know they need to be converted, but the problem is, 2000 of the 5000 have already been converted. now it's trying to convert them again. but there is no reason for that. i want to know how to convert the other files that weren't converted yet, without having to re-convert the ones that were already done.
I would move the ones that were done to a separate folder, but I don't know exactly what ones were done. In iTunes, they are the first 2000 or so in the list, but on my hard drive they are not in the same order.
Does anyone else know if there's a way to do this?

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.

Hello, someone stole my sons IPhone today in his gym class. I have the "find my iphone app" on my phone BUT he is not a listed device. I went into his itunes account and downloaded the "find my iphone app" app under his account. When I try to log into "find my iphone" under his name on my device I get an error msg involving icloud......he is MUCH better at this stuff then I am BUT he is in school and now I need to figure out how to use the "find my iphone app". PLEASE HELP

It doesn't matter whick account you use to download the app.
You have to sign into the app (or iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer) with his Apple ID & password.
Find My iPhone will only work if it was enabled in the iCloud settings on the device and it was powered on with a connection to the internet

I have a problem .. I can not download and update some applications from App Store as it asked me for apple ID I don't know this email.. How I can solve thi problem

All content from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, so the id that shows when trying to download updates should be the account that 'owns' that app. Do you recognise the id that is showing e.g. has anybody else downloaded or synced content to your iPad ?

Warning to multiple itunes account holders (regarding correct updating apps

due to many postings and personal experience i have found out that both itunes and iphone appstore app won't recognize updates as long as you have more than one itunes account enabled and apps on both in itunes or on your iphone.
solution: delete all apps from the second or third itunes account from both itunes and your iphone

Has nothing to do with the machine. You need to use the same AppleID in the app store as you used originally to purchase those apps. Purchases are tied to an AppleID, not a device.
