Hello Donna,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. If you are having issues completing your app updates, you may want to make sure you can otherwise access the iTunes Store/iOS App Store. You may want to try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
If the iOS version listing in your post profile is correct (iOS 8.0.2), you may also want to make sure that your iPhone is updated to the most recent version of iOS:
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Sincerely,
- Brenden

  • My updates are showing i have 2 apps to update but wont connect to show what apps need updating just goes to a blank screen can anyone help

    My updates show i have 2 apps to update but when entering the app store and clicking on update it goes to a blank white screen and wont load.
    I have reset my wifi so its not that i have also tried it on a different wifi can anyone help please 

    iOS 4.2.1 is the final version of iOS that an iPhone 3G will run, so you will not be able to use any apps that require iOS 4.3 or later. There is no way to get any later version of iOS onto your iPhone without serious hacking, something we cannot discuss here.
    You do not get the option to update iOS directly from an iPhone until you have iOS 5 or later.
    Regards.

  • App Store Updates (but only Updates) cannot connect to iTunes Store

    The App Store icon on my homescreen shows I have 6 updates waiting to download.
    When I go to App Store > Updates it says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".
    I can browse online with Safari so have internet connectivity. Every other tab in the App Store (e.g. Top 25) connects and I can download new apps. I can also access the iTunes store by using the iTunes icon - I can view and download anything from iTunes. The ipod touch can therefore connect to the iTunes Store, but for some reason the App Store Updater cannot.
    I'm using OS 5.1.1, have searched the forums, shutdown and restarted the ipod, checked the DNS, logged out and in of my iTunes account, used different wi-fi networks, but no progress. Any tips would be massively appreciated !

    Thanks schan20, this worked perfect.  I closed all apps, double tapping home key from home screen, turned set date and time automatically off, clicked set daate and time, changed year to 2014.  I then opened updates on apps and got the security message, went back to set date and time, turned on set automatically, opened app store back up (did not  force close after security message) , got to loading and had 21 apps to update
    Not sure what caused this initially; but some things I had done in the past were, I had set date and time auto off, I had changed the date and time numerous times in a row for the game deer hunter reloaded to get gold, most of the time stopping around August each time.  Other than that, I have not made any major changes or added any apps when it stopped working.

  • ITunes says 1 app store update but can't install, iPhone says no updates

    Hi there in iTunes 7.7, Applications under Library, when I click Check for Updates it says "Updates are available..." So I click View Updates and then it says "No updates are available. Check again Later." If I go back into Applications in the Library in the bottom right it says there is 1 update available but when I click it it says no updates.
    On the App Store on the iPhone itself it says there are no updates. I'm also having a problem where apps downloaded on the iPhone need to be synced with iTunes a few times before they will copy over properly into iTunes. Any ideas?

    I did a restore, and chose not to restore from the backup. This seemed to have fixed updating apps on the phone but not in iTunes.

  • TS1702 I synched my phone and now my apps icons are missing on my iphone. I can see them and open them if I go to the app store. How do I get the icons back on my screen?

    HELP, I synced my iphone and computer and now my apps icons are missing on the screen of my iphone. I can access the apps only through the apps store by pressing OPEN. How do I get the icons back on the screen for the apps?

    Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is open
    1. Visit Instagram.com from your computer web browser
    2. Click "Download in the app store"
    3. It will download and show up in your iTunes
    4. Highlight and sync the app to your iPhone (note: it will not show up on your phone, even after it says syncing is complete).
    5. In iTunes, select the Instagram icon and click "Remove" or "Uninstall"
    6. Click Accept and Uninstall when it asks you to confirm as it will remove instagram and its data from your iPhone
    7. Disconnect the phone from the computer
    8. Manually reboot the phone after exiting all apps
    9. Upon re-start, you will be able to access the app in the App Store, and install it

  • TS1702 Help! I can't download apps on to my iPhone 3gs - I have done all latest updates but still it won't download an app. Everytime I press to install then enter apple password it just reverts back to the app. I'm only trying to download free apps.

    Please see title above

    well, after about 10 minutes, iTunes decided to download iBooks again this time without error. I synced my iPhone and now it's there. Weird! Must have been a store glitch with that app for a bit.

  • The app store is indicating that I have several apps to update, but the updates screen in the app store remains blank when i open to it

    I've tried turning it off and then back on as well as a hard reset.  This problem predated the IOS 6.1 update and remained after the update.  I assume I can bypass this by updating the apps with the phone plugged into the computer, but I'd prefer to solve the problem from the phone itself. 

    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.
    if there is a problem before the update, then updating will not solved.
    If no joy, restore from backup using iTunes.
    Lastly, restore as new without the backup.

  • Haven't had iPod 4G on for several months. Now I have 86 App Store updates. In trying to update these, I receive message that "ITunes store is not available (connectivity is fine). How can I update that large number of updates?

  • ITunes saying there is an app to update, but no updates there?

    Hi guys,
    At the moment I have a '1' next to apps in my iTunes. Now I know this means there's an update for an app, but when I go to check for the updates I get a message saying "No updates available. Check again later."
    How do I get rid of this?
    I've reinstalled iTunes but this hasn't helped. I've checked for updates on my iPhone but nothing there either.

    Excuse my ignorance, but was is an iTMS account?
    iTMS = iTunes Music Store
    If you mean iTunes account then no, I only have the one account personally, but I do use another account owned by a family member.
    Do you think I should try logging into iTunes on my Mac with this other account and see what happens?
    yes, try that. i am using two accounts and what you're reporting is consistent with what i'm seeing when updates for one account become available but i'm logged into the other.

    Looks O.K. to me Opens correctly in Firefox and Opera as a log-in page for Killer Content - Win7x64 Fx5.
    I can't see any oddities in your plug-ins. It never hurts to clear any relevant cookies and your cache.
    You could see how it goes in Safe Mode - Hold Shift key down as you double click on the Firefox icon>ignore the page that opens and continue. If the page opens you probably have a problem with extensions or themes and you should work through this -
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes
    A lot of things have been updated as well as Firefox and you could have a culprit or conflict. Next, if there is no improvement you could try disabling third party toolbars, and you should report back at this stage or if there has been early success.
    Someone may come by with a more specific remedy.

    A Fix For: App Store Keeps Wanting To Update Apps

  • The App Store says I have 3 apps that need to be updated but when I go to update no apps show up

    The App Store says I have 3 apps that need to be updated but when I go to update no apps show up

    I have a similar problem and have had this before.
    I rang Apple the first time and they said because I had 2 Apple ID's this can happen so I cancelled one Apple ID (which is another problem and drama in itself) and that resolved the issue.
    I now have the problem again with only one Apple ID so I've transferring purchases from my iPhone and iPad to iTunes. Then I synced again and hoped for the best. Unlucky! Didn't work. Time to call Apple support again...
