Re-downloading an app suddenly stops when almost finished

Hi,
Every time I try to re-download an program/app it suddenly stops at the point that the program should be installed, it says downloading is impossible try it again, but if you try it again it has the same problem.
This happens with app's that used to run perfectly fine on my mac. My version of mac OSX and the mac app store is fully up to date so I do not understand why this problem is occurring.
Does anyone have the same problem or a solution?

I'm curious. If you DELETE the app first, then EMPTY trashcan, does it still give you the same issue?
It probably will, and if so, make a new user account, and install it through that account:

My icloud restores my iPhone, but when it starts to re download the apps it stops halfway through

My icloud starts to restore my new iPhone but when it gets partially through downloading the apps, it stops. It also never downloads the photos from my icloud

Did you provide the password for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the apps when prompted?

TS1702 My Kindle app suddenly stopped working on my iPhone 4s. All my software is up to date and I have restarted the phone, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it still opens and shuts down instantly. Any ideas?

We need clarification here.
Please don't just state version numbers, also state which software. iTunes 10.7 requires OSX 10.6.8 or higher. Leopard is OSX 10.5.8. You have two alternatives right now. One is to stay with Leopard for a while (ultimately you should upgrade) and install iTunes 10.6.3 which is the last version to work with Leopard. This should work with iOS6 on an iPhone4. The other is to call Apple and order OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and upgrade the computer to 10.6.8 which will allow you to run iTunes 10.7. The caveat is we know nothing about which computer you run and if it even can run any system higher than Leopard.
Here is iTunes 10.6.3
iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
If you want to try upgrading:
Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About this Mac" and "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present). If it says something about Intel or Core Duo or Core 2 Duo in the processor you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (assuming you have sufficient RAM/"memory"). If it says PPC or PowerMac, you cannot.
Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store.
It would help when posting issues here if you would state exact error messages you see. "It's still not working!" while a description of the situation does not speed us to a diagnosis of the underlying issue.

Every time I want to download an app From AppStore when I start downloading it after I write my password there is warning that says to me that it isn't possible right now to download power DVD mobile even now were this app is deleted from my ipad

Every time I want to download an app From AppStore when I start downloading it after I write my password there is warning that says to me that it isn't possible right now to download power DVD mobile even now were this app is deleted from my ipad

The power DVD app is active, and seems to download ok. You have already deleted the app?
I suspect what is happeneing is that a download is in your queue, and is blocking the queue until it completes, thus the message every time you try to do a down load. It may be failing because while it thinks you have the app, it is not finding it, and doesn't know what to do. ( sounds like a poorly designed download).
I think the way around this might be for you to resync with your iTunes, and let it reload the app onto your pad. Let it complete the download. Then, if you do not want the app, delete it again from your pad, and if you never want it, from I tunes as well.
The next time they do an update, you may wind up in the same situation, so if it happens again, until they fix the download routine, you will get stuck again.
So try the suggestion, and see if this clears it out.
The other option would be to open your account in I tunes on your computer, let it complete the download there.

A movie i purchased does not show up in the download after it suddenly stopped while downloading over half way through

a movie i purchased does not show up in the download after it suddenly stopped while downloading over half way through.. help!

I totally agree, I am not going to discredit your comment as everyone is entitled to their opinion as I am BUT, I will not bad mouth other members, especially since may have not have written my initial statement in a logical manner so Ill try and answer them in order to your response.
1. I DO LIKE iTunes in general and on the whole BUT I dislike the new update, iTunes 11, it has completely buggered everything up.
2. Prior to the update, everything worked brilliantly, including Apple TV. It was user friendly and was easy to use. The new update is counter-intuative and is hard to find, fix anything and as I have had to find out at my cost, reset my Apple TV and start downloading all over again. So let me reaffirm, it is iTunes11 I find hard to fathom, not the old iTunes.
3. No I am not a developer but I have been using PC's for over 20 years so I do know how one works.
4. Good Question about who would help me, again, it is someones opinion against someone elses. One day, I may write something that generally people agree with, another they may not, depends on the subject.
5. " I do not love Apple" ?yet I have an iPhone 4s, iPad and Apple TV, find that an illogical comment!
6. I have made a General Search on the forums on the subject and the general consensus is that the new update is one update to far.
7. Oh, I am not a genius otherwise I would have solved the issue in the first place!
Just to re-iterate, I am not bad mouthing Apple in general, all I am saying is that iTunes 11 is one update to far and I am not the only one saying it.... some have gone a lot further than I have, again, their opinion and who am I to argue with them as I have an opnion as you do and I will most deffinatly not bad mouth a member because I disagree with them for the above reason, debate it, yes, not belittle them.
Hope these have cleared up my initial statement?

YouTube videos playing on the new YouTube app suddenly stops?

I am currently on an iPhone 4S running iOS 6, and this happened since yesterday night. I've tried to reboot the iPhone, turn off back ground running applications, and nothing seems to help. As I am watching a YouTube video on the newest version of the YouTube app, it just suddenly stopped. This might be a buffering problem, I'd suspect, but I've tried to disconnect and reconnect my router and modern; which does not seems to help. Please respond.

Mail.app suddenly stops moving Junk mail

I leave Mail.app running at home, because its spam filtering is the only thing that makes reading my mail on my iPhone bearable, since the iPhone does not have any spam capabilities of its own.
But a couple of days ago, Mail.app just stopped moving my spam. I've changed nothing about my setup, and it is identifying the mail as spam: select a message, and it has the brown bar and button to mark it as Not Junk. But it's still sitting in my Inbox. The Junk folder is still there, still visible, I can move messages into it by hand, but I want Mail.app to start behaving again.
This is not the first time it has happened to me, in all the versions of Mail I've used, but it is the first time in a while. I'm wondering if there's any way to make Mail.app behave again that doesn't involve me trashing all the learning Mail.app has done?

Hello, I have used connection doctor and it says;
For SSL accounts:
Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the "Use SSL" checkbox in the Advanced tab of Account preferences.
For SSL-off accounts:
Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences.
For Mobile Me account:
Could not connect to this MobileMe IMAP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the "Use SSL" checkbox in the Advanced tab of Account preferences.
I wonder why is that happening. Additionally, I do not know if it is related but, when I try to visit Godaddy website, everything is ok, but when I try to login (it goes to https website) I am unable to open it. Also, https://email.secureserver.net is not opening too.
If there is something about SSL certificates, why SSL off account is still not connecting?
I am really confused.

TS3694 my ipad suddenly stopped. when i plugged it i only have n icon of itune and a plug. what must i do to restore it?

My IPad suddenly stopped working. I need help!

Error 21 relates to security software issues (from http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694):
"Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue."
Is it being detected in iTunes now? Are you getting any other error messages?
