My apps won't update on iPod touch

My apps are frozen now in update but will not update. I get a error message that they can not update or install.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Download them on your computer and sync.
- Restore from backup. See:                                 
iOS: How to back up                             
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Apps won't update! iPod touch 2nd gen!

    I have a almost brand new ipod touch and normally when i have wifi little red numbers will pop up about undates for pre-existing apps, & ill just click "update all" and it works. but now, I press "update all" and it starts to work and then a little msg says "Cannot connect to the iTunes store. I have wifi, and the account that i use is correct, but for some reason it wont update. so now i have a little, red, annoying "10".
    Please Help!

    Are you sure your WiFi is working? Can you contact sites with Safari?
    You can always update your apps using iTunes and it is probably a whole lot faster.

    Hi all i won't update my iPod touch 4 generation to ios 5 but there are win the download end its showing a massage (the network connection timed out)

    Okay. I've tried syncing it first, resetting it first, downloading the firmware, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, I've checked my connections and ports and everything, run all kinds of diagnostics, and nothing is working. Every time it says it's backing it up, my iPod resets and then it's back to square one. I'm going to restore it and see if that helps. What a pain in the butt, especially since it wouldn't back it up.... >.<

  • Updated apps won't sync to Ipod Touch

    I've been having this problem for a while now. Whenever I update an app that I already have, the updated app won't sync to my touch and I get an error message. However, new apps downloaded from itunes work fine, they just are not current. Any help?

  • Iphone/ipod touch apps won't load on ipod touch

    I have tried to download apps that indicate that they can be used on iphone or ipod touch with 2.2. My ipod touch is updated but the apps won't load. Any ideas?

    i also have the same problem, i came across this topic hoping to find an answer. luckily i had just solved my problem. this happened to me twice... i resolved the first problem by restoring to factory setting which is not a good solution cause all my FREE downloaded apps were erased too. so i have to download again.... lately it happened again.. same problem.. but i have resolved it by updating my ups in app store... HOPE this wont happen again.... cause its really bothersome since there arent so many wifi spots here... programs i had are mostly free so maybe its one reason for this problem.... the last app i used b4 the problem was a pdf viewing app... hope this helps...

  • App won't install in iPod Touch

    I downloaded the app for Blackjack 21 Pro. When I tried to synch my iPod it said I needed new iPhone software. I don't have an iPhone. I have a Touch. The app page does say that 21 Pro will work on a Touch.
    How do I install it?

    OS4 installation instructions.
    When I click Update on the iPod Summary screen, it tells me that iTunes is up to date. When I click iTunes => About iTunes, it tells me that I'm running iTunes 9, 9.1.1 (12). When I click iTunes => Check for updates, it says 'This version of iTunes (9.1.1) is the current version.' So I'm moderately certain that I'm running the latest version of iTunes.
    Step 2 says to click on the iPod in the Source List on the left. Did that.
    Step 3 says 'In the iPod Touch Summary pane, click Check for Updates.' There is an image that shows a Check for Update button and a Restore button. I do not have those buttons on the iPod Summary pane. I have Update and Restore. There is no Check for Update button.

  • New apps won't sync to iPod touch

    So, i downloaded some new apps and am having a new problem - i check them to have them sync from iTunes to my iPod touch, but after clicking 'apply' and watching the new apps "installing", the app then unchecks itself and is nowhere to be found on my iPod. I tryed restoring the iPod but that didn't help. there are no restrictions set on my iPod either. am i doing something wrong? iTunes says my software is up to date...

    If you have the latest version of iTunes the Check for Update in the Summary pane in iTunes under your iPod should say 4.2.1 is available if you have a 2G iPod. However, from you having only iOS 2.2.1, you probably have a 1G iPod. You can identify your iPod here:

    If you have a 1G iPod you can only go as far iOS 3.1. To get that go here. It is a paid update:

  • Apps won't sync for Ipod Touch 5th gen and Itunes 11

    I need some suggestions on how to fix this. I have removed and reinstalled itunes with no success.
    I updated Itunes and now I can't sync apps on the ipod. I am manually selecting the apps. It syncs apps for another 4th gen ipod but wont for the newer one.
    It will sync music but not apps.

    Yes I have synced before with no problem to the new Ipod.
    Music is syncing okay.
    In the APP tab in itunes it thinks it has synced the apps, they just haven't actually appeared on the ipod.
    The apps have synced to an older ipod.
    I updated Itunes, I was going to try to go back to the earlier verision of Itunes but because of another issue (no hard drive space) I deleted my restore points and can't get back earlier itunes.

  • Apps won't install on iPod Touch 4G

    I have a new iPod Touch 4G and have not been able to install apps or music.  The only way I can get them is by installing and purchasing on my PC, then syncing.  Any idea what is going on?  I didn't have this problem on my previous 4G.
    When I try to install, this is what happens (using a free app as an example):
    Hit "free"
    Hit "Install App"
    "Installing" flashes, but then it asks for my ID & password
    I have to then enter my Apple ID & password
    It goes back to the "page" where I click "free" & the cycle goes on and on.
    Thanks for helpign me solve this problem!

  • Apps won't sync on iPod touch

    I can see them in iTunes, but they won't sync on the device.  Any thoughts?

    I would try redownloading the apps directly to your iPod by:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    If you follow the instructions you will not be charged again.
    Then try transferring the the apps to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer

  • IMovie app won't load on ipod touch (4th Generation)

    I updated software to 5.1.1.  Downloaded the app.  Synced to device.  It shows up on the screen, and says "waiting" underneath.  But it never loads.  Any ideas?

    Thiss sometimes happens with apps.
    Try deleting it, then re-installing (once you've bought an app you can download it again forever).
    OR try restarting the iPod.
    IT might be a slo Internet connection, or some other app is trying to install too.

  • After updating my ipod touch 2nd gen, almost all my apps won't sync

    My daughters each have an iPod touch 2nd generation, and after they both updated their iPod touches, they could no longer sync or install most of theie apps they'v ehad for years.  What do we do now since they can no longer place apps on their ipod touches?

    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
