  • Mt iPad will not allow me to update my apps. My username and password are correct and I can buy apps with no problem but when I try and update it just says "cannot open iTunes"

    My iPad will not allow me to update apps although I have no problem buying new ones. It says "cannot connect to iTunes" each time I try.

    Same problem for me, too.  It happens on my iPad, iPhone, and iMac.  Weird because I have great Internet connectivity and I can log into and view my iTunes account.  I've downloaded three new apps with no problem.  But my iPad shows 14 apps needing updates, my iPhone shows 2, and my iMac shows 1.  In all cases, clicking on "update" and entering the password results in the message, "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".  It's the same result across multiple WiFi networks, even after resetting them.
    I'll see if someone at the Genius Bar can help and then I will repost.

  • My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. Please help.

    My iPad 2 will not allow me to update my apps. When I hit the update button I get a spinning circle but then it times out and doesn't update. In the past when I have updated successfully, the spinning circle would show me an indicator of time left on the update. I no longer have this Indicator. The circle just spins and times out and nothing happens. I've reset the iPad in the settings menu, reset the router, logged in and out of Apple id, powered ithe iPad off and on, and tried a couple other "fixes" that I've read online. So far no luck. AAny help would be greatly appreciated. Much thanks!

    How much free space do you have? If it is low, installers may not be able to run properly.

    The iCloud storage is meant for your backup, you do not get more space on iPhone.
    You can by connecting to computer iTunes for update then you will not have space problem

  • OS 10.9.2 will not allow me to update my old iPhoto app.

    OS 10.9.2 will not allow me to update my old iPhoto app. I upgraded computer from a PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro and migrated my data onto the new machine. I had iPhoto '09 installed running on 10.5.8.Now on 10.9.2 and I get  get a message that iPhoto was registered to another user and that I will need to purchase my own copy. Not sure why since I've always used the same account and its my only account. Isn't Mavericks supposed to come pre-loaded with the latest version of iPhoto?

    This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto qualify for a free upgrade to 9.5.1 and which require a purchase;
    If you're having problems with the App Store you might try this:
    1 - enable the Debug menu in App Store:
    open the Terminal application.
    copy the command below and paste into the Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    followed by Enter.
    launch App Store, login.
    2 - select the Debug ➙ Reset Application option:
    3 - try again.

  • My iPad will stay on for minute or so, then will restart.  I have tried to restore, but it says I must have "Find My iPad" turned off. The iPad will not allow me to turn that off, so I am at quite the impasse.

  • My early iPad will not allow for a newer version of software than 5.1.1.

    My early iPad will not allow for a newer version of software than 5.1.1 is there a way of loading on a newer version?

    Hi,
    If you have an original iPad, that is limited to iOS 5.1.1 and cannot go any further. All other iPads and iPad Minis can get up to iOS 7.0.4.
    Hope this helps!

  • My ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to computer which doesn't recognize it. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died.  I tried to stop the upload and am afraid it 'crashed'

    My first genteration ipad will not power on after update. I have tried connecting to the authorized computer which won't recognize it - does not acknowledge a device is plugged in. I have pushed top and circle buttons at same time. It had a battery charge before it died.  I tried to stop the upload midway and am afraid it 'crashed'

    Try putting it into recovery mode.
    Connect iPad to your computer via USB while it's turned on.
    Open iTunes
    Hold the iPad's Sleep/Wake switch (power button on the top of the iPad) down until the "power off" slider appears.
    Power off the iPad completely (wait for the progress spinner to disappear).
    Hold the Sleep/Wake switch AND the Home button down for a full 10 seconds.
    After 10 seconds (the second time you'll see the Apple logo on the screen) release the Sleep/Wake switch while still holding the Home button.
    Continue to hold the Home button for another 10 seconds until the USB connection image appears on the iPad's screen, then release the Home button.
    A pop-up message will appear on iTunes saying it has detected an iPad in recovery mode, you must restore...
    Click on the "Restore" button and the process will begin.

    Restart your phone, and if you can connect it to a computer and update it from iTunes instead of through wifi.

  • Aperture 3.1 will not allow me to update

    Hi, It says I need Aperture 3. which i already have. 10.6.7 is my current OS. I downloaded it from the APP Store a few months ago.

I am trying to update to 3.0.2 and eventually to 3.0.3
    Ahy help would be appreciated.

  • My iPad will not connect to the update section under the app store?

    My iPad will not connect to the update section under the app store I've tried everything what do I do?

    Can you download new apps? If you can, go to the App Store featured tab and do a search for one of the apps that tells you it needs an update. When the app appears in the search, tap on the app icon and the description window for the app will pop up. Try updating the app from there and see if that works.
    Have you tried rebooting your router? Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again?
    Look at this article and see the section about the DNS settings on the iPad.

  • HT4623 My iPad will not allow me to download any apps

    My iPad will not let me download any apps, also in the APPS STORE it shows a '1' meaning that there is one new update, it will not even let me update.  Also when browsing some websites like BT, it shuts down and reverts back to the home page of all my APPS.  Is this a hardware or software problem?

    (A) Reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings
    Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.
