ITunes will not update Apps on iOS devices

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I had all of my apps transferred to iTunes on the new computer. Everything worked fine except iTunes would not update the apps on my iOS devices.
Apple support spent several hours attempting to fix my problem to no avail. I discovered the problem by accident.
When I selected "Automatically install new apps while syncing" iTunes asked me to authorize an old iTunes account I had decomissioned a couple of years ago and had merged it into all of my devices. iTunes in the new computer was still tracking the old account. After selecting "do not authorize" for the old account, iTunes on my Mac synced the apps just fine.
I hope this helps someone having the same problem.

Thanks for the help. I think it works but only after new reload the data. That's not good when one is without Wifi. Sorry my english is not so good

My itunes will not update. I get a message that is saying that MSVCR80.II Is missing from your computer, Try reinstalling to fix this problem.

Verify that you have sufficient priveledges to start service...the I see abort, retry and ignore....when I hit retry, it sill fails and i get the same message again. How do I fix it? Will I lose all my music if I delete it all and reinstall itunes? I haven't tried that yet.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Possible that itunes will not update iphone OS while overseas?

hi, im in australia, and i was thinking about getting the iphone 3gs through the local australian network carrier here, however, a friend of mine said that whenever he returns to his home country with the contract phone that he obtained under a plan with yes optus (australian network carrier) he told me that it is not possible to update the phone or download any apps through the local itunes store in his home country. to confirm this rumour, i head down to a 3 (another australian network carrier) retail store to enquire about the plan while at the same time asking about the rumour, a sales person said that it might be possible that itunes will not update an australian phone with an non australian IP address...is this true? because purchasing an iphone and not being able to update it while i too return to my home country would render the phone quite pointless. could someone please get back to me and confirm if this is true and if there is any possible solutions without hacking the phone? ohh and by the way, the network carriers do legally unlock the phones for their customer when anyone needs to go overseas

If your phone is locked to the Australian network, then you can only roam in Malaysia. If it's unlocked, you can get a SIM card from a Malaysian provider.
iTunes, however, is country specific. You cannot access Australian iTunes from another country. For example, I'm in the US, and I can't access iTunes from other countries.
If your phone is unlocked, and you have a local SIM card, you should be able to access your local version of iTunes. No problem.

I've changed iPad carriers but iTunes will not update the carrier settings,

I've changed iPad carriers but iTunes will not update the carrier settings, stating that the requested resource could not be found. Does anyone know how I can download the ipcc file and force an update.

Your iPad may already have the latest carrier settings, especially if you have updated to iOS 4.3.3.

Will not update apps

My iPhone 5 will not update app's. It say installing but it will not, HELP

You can use the computer to update apps. I have only just discovered this.
Just go to library, than in the top left corner it will say music, click on that and go down to apps, and sometimes it will have a red banner on the app icons saying update just richt click on that and selcect update.
This only works on the the original computer that you installed the apps on in the first place.
If the first idea doesn't work search up the apps on the iTunes store and it may say update where the purchase sigh usually is.
Hope this helped.

My iPad will not update apps. I did try all previous suggestions.

My iPad will not update apps. I did try all the suggestions. When I click on the rapidly growing number of updates, the screen stays blank. Nothing is being downloaded. I have worn out the re-boot function.

This is a problem that many users are experiencing now. Apple is working on a fix.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
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. Apple needs to fix this, because you cant fix it. It is a workaround only.
you can update your apps in iTunes on your computer and sync the, to the iPad as well.

Hi enp518,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
We have some information in this article that may be helpful:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
To install iTunes or QuickTime software, you need to be logged in as an administrator on the computer. If you're not sure if you have administrator account access, you may find this Microsoft article helpful:
Windows 7: How do I log on as an administrator?
Otherwise, refer to the Help documentation from Microsoft, contact your IT department, or visit support.microsoft.com for more information.

Itunes will not update to a newer version.

Itunes will not update to a newer version. The error received sates an older version could not be removed.

The error is specifically an older version of Itunes could not be removed.
Many thanks, alex. We'll first try the iTunes variation of my standard instructions, then.
Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

I pad 1 will not update apps

My IPad 1 will not update apps. When I attempt to update, it tells me I have no more space available and to manage my storage in settings. In settings it says I have 4.8 out of 5.0 gigs available. So why won't the apps update?
Yes I have viewed the other threads regarding similar issues. No they did not apply to this issue.
Ty

In settings it says I have 4.8 out of 5.0 gigs available.
I believe this is the free space you have in iCloud. How much free space on your iPad?
Go to Settings>General>About>Available
