Problems downloading app

I am having problems with my apple ID. When I try to download anything at apple store, it opens sthg saying that the update is not available with this apple ID... What should I do?

I came across this issue on my iPad and iPhone today. I did some research and it was suggested that you need to change your region to wherever in the world you originally purchased the app.
This worked for me.
I had tried signing in and out, deleting apps and resetting my devices; because I had never used any Apple ID except for my own personal one, I thought that those options would sort it. I changed my region to the uk (where the apps were purchased) and now they have updated with no other issues.
I hope this helps

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?

I am trying to download updates for some Free apps. The app update starts to download but before finishing, I get a pop-up message "There was a problem downloading 'APP NAME'. The network connection was reset."
A couple of App updates downloaded successfully. Some don't. What do I need to do/change to get a download to finish so I can get all my app updates?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.

Problems downloading apps from the store 6/16/2013

Is anyone having problems downloading apps from the store? I am receiving a connection failed:invoke error.
Appreciate any assistance.
Thank you.

I have no idea what that means but try closing the App Store, and reboot your iPad. See if that helps.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the App Store icon. Tap the home button.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT1349 I'm having problems downloading apps to my iPad using wifi at a McDonalds. The apps all stay in a"waiting" mode. I can't delete them or get them to install. This is the second time that this has happened. Advice?

I am having problems downloading apps while using wifi in a public setting. The apps will show up on my screen and say "waiting". They will not install. I can't even delete them from my screen. This has happened before and I had to reset my iPad to factory settings. I hope I don't have to do this again. Any advice?

Well, typically one of the fixes that I would suggest is to try to delete the waiting icons. WIFi in a public places like McDonalds, Starbucks, B&N, etc. is not the greatest and I would avoid those places for downloading and updating apps. But I do realize that not everybody has access to Wifi in their homes.
These are all things that have worked at one time or another for other users. Hopefull one of them will work for you. Just ignore whatever does not apply or anything that you have already tried.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Problem downloading apps

I am having a problem downloading apps with my iPhone 4s. Using iTunes on my comuputer works just not on my phone.

I'm also having the exact same problem with my iPhone 4s. No matter how many times I try to download an app I get the 'Unable to download App' error.
Help!

, please help problem downloading apps since update

Why can't i download apps since i updated to i06, i log in with password .am then asked for three security questions fill this out click done and get the answer timed out try again, what is causing this please help.

Settings>General>Reset (at the far bottom)>Reset All Settings
That will ALWAYS work for the "3 Security Questions - Timed Out problem". No data will be lost, but your network settings will be reset.

For some reason I'm getting problems downloading apps. Even free ones. Keeps telling me payment declined. I'm using my card btw. Anyway I can sort this out? Getting really mad now! Thanks

Need help. I've only had my iphone4s for over a week or so and had no problems downloading free apps and purchasing apps using my bank card. I haven't brought any apps for 2 days now and I'm trying to update one of my apps I've purchased and it keeps saying billing details wrong and notice that my security code is not there so I've put it in and then it comes up with my payment has been declined. I have no reason as to why this is happening as I have money in my account and why exactly is it saying that when I'm only updating the app. I've even tried to get a free app and again it says the same. I've tried deleted every detail and re-doing it but nothing. I don't know whether it's to do with when I synced my iPhone on my laptop 2 days ago and my laptop died so it didnt sync completely so maybe its to do with that or to do with my bank. Can someone tell me what I can do next as I'm getting rather frustrated and so close to throwing the phone across the room. Thanks. :D

Fair enough. The only reason why I asked for help is simply because I have never had to use my bank details to download a free app or to update an app. Not only that i have no idea how to work this phone. So I was concerned. And thought that the matter could be easily rectified hence why I posted this. Obviously if I had tried to purchase an app and I didn't have no problems in downloading and updating an app that Ive purchased or downloaded for free already then I would definitely know for certain that it would have to be with my bank. Same way you go to "a shop" and is given something for free, your not going to be concerned when someone asks for your bank details? Your going to investigate right? Ask questions? And thats exactly what im doing. And as for your rude/sly comment about throwing my phone, I don't expect you to care. I was simply trying to add humour. Thanks for your help anyway.

Anyone else having problems downloading apps

having constant time outs to adobe servers trying to download updates and get on help pages

Follow this link to a person who has had the same problem and "Digital Girl"s fix seems to work as I am downloading apps now on my iPhone and on my macbook. Once the phone is done, I'm going to confirm that it worked as well on the other computer as well.

Re: iTunes Error Message: iTunes Store is Temporarily Unavailable
Feb 4, 2012 4:23 PM (in response to mswinger)
Hi mswinger, I'll do my best to try and help, go to the terminal and put lookupd -flushcache if that doesn't work, you can try sudo dscacheutil -flushcache while logged out of iTunes.
Is there an "ampersand" in your account details: name: address, etc? Or is there a "period"? If so, you could try removing those, click update, then go to your billing detaisl and see if there is anything that needs to be updated.
Clearing the DNS Cache might help with speed and reset any error messages you are getting with any downloads in waiting.
I hope you'll able to get it working.

Problems downloading Apps from Store

I'm having problems with my daughters new Nokia Lumia 520 - downloading apps from the store. It says I need t set up My Family. But I've done this. When I first set up her phone I crated a microsoft account for her and then I linked it to my micrsoft account on my laptop - so I am the parent and she is the child, However it says No Windows Phone 8 next to her name?? So every time she tries to download an app on her phone it tells her to set up My Family first. I have never seen a checkbox to tick to see I agree to the terms and conditions for the app store either. Should I have set up her phone with my microsoft account?

This is an issue to be brought up with Microsoft support HERE. You are posting to the NOKIA user to user support forum and this functionality falls under the core OS (=MSFT) part of the OS.

"There was a problem downloading app. You do not have access privileges for this operation." ?

I am trying to download free app updates using iTunes and I receive the following error:
"There was a problem downloading NAME OF APP. You do not have access privileges for this operation."
These are just the free app updates. I have no idea why this started to happen. Any solutions?
I have the most recent version of iTunes. When I transfer purchases from my iPad and iPhone, it does copy over the apps, yet the apps still appear in the list of errors. Any solutions?

Thanks but it's still not working. Also every time I start iTunes it asks for my password. I also have my iTunes library on an external hard drive though iTunes 8 had none of these problems. Another problem I have is that the screensaver no longer sees my album artwork even though iTunes still displays it. Not sure if I should try moving my iTunes library back to my boot drive.

It has to do with licensing and copyright laws varying worldwide.
Yes, I know. Which is why I won't argue over it. As I said I've never had an issue with it when travelling.
And Apparently the purchase is working fine for the OP, its the actual download that gets hung up.
Anyway, If the Purchase is going fine, then its more likely an issue with the internet connection.
Are you on Cell service when trying to download rather than Wifi?

I can't download any app into my iPAD, but I have no problem downloading app into my iPhone. Using same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone.

HELP!
I couldn't download any app into my iPAD. Puzzled by this strange condition, I tried downloading the same chosen app into my iPhone. It worked!
I use the same Apple ID for both my iPAD and iPhone. So why is it not working for my iPad? Previously, both devices were working fine!
I hope that somebody can help me solve this problem.

Do the apps show as installed on the Purchased tab in the App Store app ? If they show as installed, then have you got any restrictions set on Settings > General > Restrictions (e.g. Allowed Content > Apps) that might be hiding them ?
You could try closing the App Store app completely and then seeing if it downloads after you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e.not with the App Store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
You could also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
And try logging out, and then back in, with your iTunes account : Settings > Store
