My iPhone 4s cannot download from app store

For a couple days now my iPhone 4s cannot download anything from the app store. I cannot download new apps or updates. It does not give me an error message or anything. It just shows the icon on my iPhone screen and it says waiting right underneath it; I've let it go on for a day and it never resolved anything. It was working fine before and now it doesn't. I have not changed any settings and I know my account is fine because my wife's iPhone is also setup to use my iCloud account and it works without problems. I donnot want to reset my iPhone as it is currently set up just the way I need it; both peronal and work stuff. It would be a pain in the rear if I had to reset everything. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Update to my post.
I called customer Apple support and now my phone works without a problem.
Here's what I had to do:
Try resetting network connections. If that does not work go to next step below.
Connect your iPhone to your computer
Open iTunes (probably opens automatically)Back up your iPhone to your computer
Restore iPhone to factory settings (this is what I did. you can skip this step if you're feeling lucky and go straight to the next step). Try to download from app store, if it works, your set; go to next step.Try right clicking on your iPhone an the left menu (iTunes) if you don't see the right options on your screen
Restore iPhone from previous file (iTunes)
My iPhone did not restore my downloaded apps, no worries, just go to bought apps on the app store/iTunes and download apps into iTunes. After that, just sync your iPhone to iTunes and your apps should be there.
I hope that helps, that's what I had to do. I was able to reset my iPhone and all my settings to the way it was before restoring. I did not loose anything but it took about 2 hours.

    App Store must have been overloaded on holiday weekend because it's working (downloading apps) no problem after 10:30 pm.  If I had known, I wouldn't have wasted several hours trying to figure it out.

  • IOS 7, cannot download  from app store

    Can't download from App Store since installing iOS 7. Only a spinning ball when I chose to install something. ??

    Thanks Sky, that's not really an answer tho, it worked fine before the update. .  Not only that, my new version of music player tells me iTunes Radio isn't available, and freezes when even trying to play mp3 files.. And links from mail to Safari don't work either. My ipad is quickly becoming a high priced frisbee. . .

    spoke too soon. Back to the "waiting" situation once more. Hopefully this is resolved at a much higher level sooner rather than later.

    1. If you downloaded it for free the first time it should then be free for you forever to re-download and update.
    2. If the app is no longer on the store then you cannot re-download it, I suggest you save an extra copy of the one you already have. I know I backed up my precious phonesabre.
    3. Updating/installing directly on the iPhone has always gone fine for me. I didn't know there were issues.

  • I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine

    I have a new mac mini I5 - I cannot find and copy Maverick onto a flash so that I can install on the other 7 iMacs - don't want to download from App store to each machine - files too big
    Please assist

    You need to download it on one of the iMacs via App store but not install since after it installs the installation download gets deleted.
    After it is downloaded you can copy to a USB device. You can also make a bootable USB install device by:
    downloading and using DiskMaker X

  • I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. What should i do?

    I updated my iPhone to iOS 7.0.5 and I lost my messages and camera app and other apps i downloaded from app store. I was having the problem of losing apps since before I updated to the latest IOS. I have tried enable and disable restriction, connecting my phone to my laptop and sync from my computer and none of them is working. What should i do?

    Often when this type of thing occurs with missing default apps it is due to a situation where you are unable to 'see' the apps. If you will go to your front display of your device go to settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen layout.
    This reset allows for your apps that have for whatever reason been hidden in such an area as you arn't able to find them now to be returned to the area as which they were when you first had the device.
    As far as the missing Apps that were purchased through the Apps Store if you will go to settings>itunes and Apps store and click where it reads about automatcally downloading apps clicking on the toggle switch AND clicking on the toggle switch which allows for cellular data to be enabled this then will effectively automatically download all apps to your device that was purchased from the App Store.
    Good luck friend.

  • Hi. I have a problem with downloading from app store while last three days. An error did mot allow me to that. It's number is 1009.

    I have a problem with downloading from app store while last three days. An error does not allow me to take any app. The error number is 1009.

    Thats the ugliest code I've seen in a while and may be hampering your abilities to debug it. No offense - you have to start somewhere - think of it as somewhat constructive criticism.
    However, I cannot find any place where this is happening. Its happening on line 193.
    Also, this only happens when you try to move certain pieces to certain squaresThat might be a clue. Try printing out the indexes before line 193 and see what happens. Maybe use a debugger to step through your code.

  • Solution for iPad slow download from app store

    First, I have to clarify this is just my solution for the problem I encoutered. It may not work for you, but I think it's nice to post here for whoever needs it some day.
    I live in Sydney, using TPG as my home network provider. In order to use iMessage on my iPad, I followed the solution on this community to change to DNS to 8.8.8.8. And it works, which I thinks it's really odd and Apple never gives any explaination.
    But after I changed the DNS, downloading from the app store became really slow. My iPhone 4S can download the same app with the same network about 4 times faster than my iPad does. Initially, I thought this problem is caused by jail breaking. So I jailbroken my iPhone 4S as well (haha, this is what I learned from Apple-Think different), but the problem still. Turns out this problem is caused by the 8.8.8.8 DNS. so I changed the DNS back to my router domain, in my case 10.1.1.1 (for some people it may be 168.1.1.1), it become fast again. So you may try this way when you have the same slow download problem after change your dns to 8.8.8.8.
    I don't know why this works. I don't know why iPad needs to change the dns to use iMessage in Australia. And I don't know why download from app store become slow after the change. If you know the reason, please be kindly to tell me, I'd love to hear about it. Now I have to change my DNS back and forth to download apps quickly and use iMessage, if you have better solution for this issue, please be kindly to let me know as well. Good day mate.
