No longer able to download apps onto my iPhone

I have recently become unable to download apps onto my iphone. I receive the error "Unable to Purchase. ___ app could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later." But it looks as if it is still attempting to download. In fact, it will download the app to one of my other devices instead. This has been going on for a couple weeks now. It gives my the same error on apps I have already purchased are are on my cloud as well.

Many, but not all, apps offer older versions. See: App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps.

If you really are running OS 10.4.6 you have a long way to go!
So, assuming you are not, what version of OS X do you have?

Is your iPhone storage full? Check Settings > General > Usage and make sure there is no less than 10% of your total storage space available.

Why can't I download apps onto my iphone when i have enough memory and my apple password is correct.

I have sucessfully downloaded apps on my iphone many times in the past. Now, when I select and try to install an app it begins to download, I put in my password and then everything reverts back to the start. I have lots of memory and even free apps won.t download. I've looked and read all the support manuals online and nothing helps.
Has anyone had this problem before and knows how to help. I would appreciate any advice.

You will have to call Apple and ask for Account Security.

No longer able to download pictures to my iphone or itouch from my pc

i can no longer export pictures from my pc to my Iphone or IPod. Any ideas?

No such functionality existed with iPhones regardless of iTunes version.
The way to get photos onto an iPhone is to sync them via iTunes.
Select the device in the side bar.
Select the Photos tab from the top.
Select the option to sync photos.
Select the folder containing the photos that you desire to have synced and sync.
The closest you'll get to drag and drop of photos is to drop them into the folder that is set to sync.
Drag and drop only works with music, podcasts, and videos.

I am no longer able to download apps or watch youtube videos on my 2g iPod touch. Help

He question above pretty much explains my problem. It is probably nOt the wifi as I haveused multiple connections to try to get apps. Once I hit install to get an app, it says waiting and then the icon just disappears and doesn't download. Any ideas? An apple mod would be nice. Thanks.

Don't worry you are not the only one, I have the exact same issue at you, with a 2nd gen iPod touch if any one has managed to fix this issue, please let me know

How to install downloaded app on to iPhone

How do I install a downloaded app onto the iPhone?

When you get an app from the App Store, it automatically downloads and installs. The installation process is not separate from the downloading process. To download an app, simply go to the App Store and tap the price of the app. That button will turn into "Install" or "Buy App", and tapping that button will start downloading the app.
The app will appear on your Home screen. Flick between the pages to find it. If you can't find it, use Spotlight search to find it. If you are running iOS 7, pull down on the apps to reveal a search bar; if you are running iOS 6 or earlier, flick to the left of the leftmost Home screen page to find a search bar.

After I downloaded and installed the latest iTunes upgrade (to 10.5.1), I am no longer able to download free app upgrades for the apps I have on my iPad/iPhone/iMac which i had previously purchased. Itunes tells me I "don't own the major versions".

After I downloaded and install the latest iTunes software upgrade (to 10.5.1), I am no longer able to download free upgrades to the apps on my iPhone or iPad.
The App Store just says I "don't own the major versions", which of course is nonsense. It seems as if Apple's iTunes/App Store has deleted my download history. Any suggestions?

Actually It doesn't. It says he's on a MacBook. I don't know all the different types of Macs. I was having a ton of problems with iChat. I opened DMZ to my computer, knocked down all firewalls etc and left everything exposed, still with bad results. A few weeks ago my power supply went out on my D-Link. I bought a linksys. Since I'd left all firewalls off I figured it couldn't be the router. I power cycled everything n the netork, still no luck. Today I bought a universal Power supply and started up my D-Link Router. Everything worked perfectly. My wifes computer - a laptop running Tiger worked fine with the Linksys and did my machine before the Leopard upgrade. Now that I've got the D-Link online everythings working.

HT4528 I am no longer able to download FREE apps. It says I need to verify my bank information. When I verify bank information, it tells me it's wrong and I know it's not! What's the fix?

I am no longer able to download FREE apps. It pops up saying I need to verify my banking information. When I go to my banking information, it tells me it's wrong, and I know it's not. HELP!!! I can't download ANY apps - FREE or otherwise! What is going on???

Is it possible the expiration date for your credit card recently changed, or you got a new card with an updated authorization code? If nothing has changed recently in Settings > iTunes & App Stores, click on your Apple ID, go to billing information and delete the card, re-enter it, save and try again to download apps.

I have an ipod classic. I am able to download songs onto the pc but am no longer able to sync to my ipod - not happy :( If i want help from apple I have to pay £25 just to talk to somebody!!

I have an Ipod classic. I am able to download itunes onto my pc but am unable to sync them to the ipod anymore. Can't get onto the diagnostics 'thing'

Hi Feelingcheated,
Restoring your iPod makes it return to factory settings, making it work like a completely new iPod, thus deleting all media, including music, photos, videos, movies etc., and any files you may have stored on it whilst using it as an external hard drive in disk mode. It will only delete files stored on the iPod, so if you have 'Song A' on your iPod and in your iTunes library, when you restore the iPod it will be deleted from the iPod but will remain in your iTunes library.
Music ripped from CDs should also remain in the iTunes library, but just in case, right click the songs you ripped (press shift to select more than one song) and click on 'Show in Windows Explorer'. Then, copy the music files from the folder in Windows Explorer to a folder in another directory, (eg. Music), to make a backup. Though this is not necessary, I recommend it as iTunes can be unpredictable at times. Purchased music can always be downloaded again, but it shouldn't delete itself.
If your whole music collection is on your iPod again you could try pressing the 'Sync all music' button in iTunes in the iPod directory, which should automatically sync all playlists and songs like it used to, but it might not work. In the end a restore should help but bare in mind that you might have problems syncing music in large quantities again, so be prepared to methodically add more songs like explained in the other post. Hope this helps.
Good Luck,
Stefan

HT5225 What about my mail? I was told I could still keep my email account but I am no longer able to download my emails.

I was told I could still keep my email account even if my system wasn't up to a wholescale iCloud upgrade but I am no longer able to download my emails to my account. I can still get them on my iPod but not on my laptop. How do I make the transition?

How much mail are we talking about here? Roughly how many messages, and roughly how many gigabytes of mail?
Who is the mail provider? Is this a local provider on a local network, or one of the "free" providers, or something from your ISP?
Do you have free disk space on your OS X system here, or is it possible that your disk is getting full?
As for the usual diagnostics for problems with Mail.app, launch Mail.app and select the Connection Doctor from the Window menu, let it run, select More Details, and re-run the tests. Expunge any personally-identifying information and post the results here, if they don't make the trigger clear.
You can also try a mailbox repair pass; there's a Rebuild option in the Mail.app menus.
If the downloads are failing, then the usual trigger is the IMAP or POP password setup; there are two entirely seperate connections and two separate credentials and such; the send path (SMTP) and the receive (IMAP or POP) path. Usual triggers for problems are changes to the mail servers involved, or the mail ports, or the credentials needed; I've seen vendors change each of those, and forget to mention it to their users.
That OS X version is extremely old. (I don't have anything nearly that old to check the details fo the setup of that version; 10.6.8 is the oldest OS X version I have handy.)

Can't download apps onto my iPod touch?

When I try to download apps onto my iPod touch, it gives me a message that says I need to verify the account and billing information, which I have done, but it still won't let me get anything, it says I need to log into my account then sends me back into the app store to log in, but after I type it in and go to log in, it is stuck at a grey loading screen and asks me to log in again, non-stop. Is there any fix for this?

- Try resetting your iPod,. A long shot but you loose nothing.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Contact iTunes:
Apple - Support - iTunes

HT4539 how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it
