  • Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

    You must be signed into the Apple Store with your Apple ID or it won't work.

    How to deal with a 100 Store Error:
    Try here >  Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
    If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here;
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Click Go
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Now here:
    ~/Library/Preferences/
    Click Go
    Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    com.apple.appstore.plist
    com.apple.storeagent.pllist
    Now here:
    ~/Library/Cookies
    Click Go
    Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash, try the App Store.

  • My ipad 2 won't update apps. It shows that 2 apps need updating, but not which ones.

    My iPad 2 won't update apps. It shows that 2 apps need updating, but doesn't show which 2.

    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.

  • The screen isn't working on my ipad2.  It's fully charged and is keeping time and showing which apps need updates, but I can't do anything because the touch screen isn't functioning.

    Has anyone had a problem with their iPad touchscreen not working?  Mine is fully charged, keeping time, and showing me there are apps that need updates, but I can' get the touchscreen to work.  I've turned it off and on several times and connected it o my laptop hoping it would "unfreeze", but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

  • I'm trying to update to the latest software update, but won't let me do it. I have done a restore and tried again but still no luck. Any advice?

    I'm trying to update to the latest software update 5.0, but won't let me do it. I have done a restore and tried again but still no luck. Any advice?

    The Original update for Apple TV was to 4.4 then a bugfix appeared called 4.4.1  Both of these have issues so Apple Pulled them and currently 4.3 is the current version for Apple TV IOS. In fact there are a number of comments in other threads where people carried out the upgrades only to restore back down to 4.3 because they did not work. Guess we will wait for Apple to send out an update.

  • Can't access YouTube from my update lists.It shows updated but won't let me open app

    HHi,I can't access YouTube or Google+ from my updated apps.
    it shows that they are updated,but I am unable to open the app.Also,they have disappeared from my home screen

    Usually I could just swipe my finger across the screen and the "delete" option would pop up...instead it starts the show/movie and then gives me the error message.  I have tried restarting, I have even tried syncing to my computer.  Even though I don't have the computer set to sync any tv shows or movies, those items are still there.  I'm noticing the same thing with Podcasts in the separate podcast app and in my itunes app under podcasts.  There are several there that I have deleted from my itunes and they still show up on the iphone. 

  • 3 apps need update but dont show up

    For several days now my iPad and my wife's iPad (ipad 3 w/retina) have had app updates but when we go to view the apps that need the update nothing shows up.  The list grew from 1, to 2, to 3 as of today but still we cant see which apps need the update.  The app store opens and loads fine, just not the updates. 
    I've read it could be a server issue but its been days, could that still be the case?

  • HT201272 I had hulu plus app downloaded,now it won't let me because it says I need iOS 5 ! I didn't need iOS 5 last month&its 2nd time I took app off because of problems w/hulu&thats what they said to do!! Can anybody help me&my 2nd generation iPhone ?!

    Does anyone know why I can't upload hulu app on my 2nd Gen. iPhone ? I did it b4 on same phone&know it won't let me! Ive uploaded other apps w/out iOS 5&now I can't find any apps to download since I removed Hulu!

    The current version of the Hulu Plus app requires iOS 5 or later which will not run on an iPhone 3G, if that's the model you have. If you kept a backup of the old version of the app, you can probably put that back into iTunes and sync it to your iPhone, though whether it will still work with Hulu I can't say.
    Regards.

  • My 4od app needs update but my ipad1 is not compatible with the new version on update what do I need to do??

    Can't update to the new version of 4od app as my ipad1 is not compatable with new update, what can I do to get 4od now??

    I have the same problem. I'm asked to update, told I should download the latest compatible version and once I have done so the app won't work until I update to the latest version! Just let me use the old version please. Any advice about how to break the circle (other than buy a new iPad) would be appreciated.
    If you have regularly sync'd your purchased content with iTunes on your computer, and you have NOT downloaded updates in iTunes, then you may have the older version available in iTunes to install.
    Delete the app from your iPad, connect to iTunes and choose the older version from your list of apps to install and then let it sync.
    However, unless you have kept a copy of the older version like that, then you are stuck now.  The App developer has likely pulled the older version from the store, so only the newer version is available in the App Store.

  • Unknown app needs update, but under which account?

    I've got all the family's iTunes media on one iMac (mine). That's five accounts. Every so often, I cycle through the accounts and update everyone's apps. But for some time now, after completing the cycle, one app remains un-updated, as indicated by the number "1" in the iTunes sidebar. I have no idea wihch account this app belongs to -- I've gone through every account that I know of -- and no idea which app it is.
    So here's the question...Is there any way to determine in iTunes the name of this app and which account it belongs to?
    Sure would be nice if I could right-click that numeral and have it show me -- across all accounts -- the names of the apps that had updates...

    Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
    Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them.
    Another way is to delete them and download using your own Apple ID.

  • App store works, but won't let me download or look at reviews

    The app store loads fine, but when I go to an app's info, I can't download or look at the reviews. However, I was able to update some apps without a problem.

    Go to the developers website (if there is one) and see if there is another way to acquire the application.
