Since upgrading to ios7, apps just say waiting and then get the app cannot be downloaded at this time message. We run a proxy server, devices running ios6 have no problems. Anyone know what the problem is? I think apple just needs to fix its new OS.

I work at a school running 10 iPads. We connect to the internet through a proxy server. Prior to iOS7 we had no issues, the devices still on iOS6 work perfectly.
All devices which have been upgraded to iOS7 cannot download apps. I can find the apps in the store, choose to download them, but the icon hangs for a while before returning the "app cannot be downloaded at this time message". Help.

I have this same exact issue. We have even put all apple servers as not even being filtered by proxy and it still wont download anything. Nor will it let us even log in or create a new acct in the app store. It seems its also not just app store related....as it won't even let you check for IOS updates when a proxy is entered.
If anyone has any ideas let us know!

  • TS1702 I'm getting an " application" cannot be downloaded at this time message. With any app I try to download/update. Why is this happening and what can I do about it ?

    I am fighting the same error. I gifted an album to mydaughter and she got that when she tried to cash it in. iTunes support was quick to respond saying the would refund in 5 to 7 days. That was 13 days ago and they will not respond now. Try to contact support to see if they can help. Also be sure you do not have restrictions enabled in settings. If your parental controls are set to block certian content ratings this will give you an error as well.
      You could also try to purchacs through the iTunes program on Mac or PC. Check your restrictions there too. If your device is company owned your employers may have restrictions enabled preventing certian apps from being installed. Hope that helps.

  • When I try to reinstall an app it just says waiting and then tells me cant go into iTunes.

    I have been installing free apps all along tried to reinstall double down casino and the little pic just says waiting then
    Never comes up says can't enter I store

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Tap on the one that says Waiting if the above is not the case and it should resume downloading.

  • I keep gettin updates from my app store but yet when I go in and update all it starts the update and then pops up and tells me that the application cannot be downloaded at this time. I have had to delete a few apps bc this isn't working.

    I keep getting updates from my app store but yet when I go in and update it starts the process but then a message pops up that says the download cannot be done at this time. I have had to delete a few apps because of this. I have also signed out and signed back into my account and turned my phone on and off and still does the same thing. Help!

    Hi tmcrae
    First check that your device is not full, maybe you may have to delete some photos or apps to make space to do updates. if its not full then you will have to try pluging it into your pc/mac running itunes then doing a backup and restore. Then you should be able to do your updates.
    Sorry but i cant think of any other way if its showing as installed already but is not there.
    Hope that helps

  • I have an iPhone4 and whenever I try to buy songs off of iTunes they will not finish downloading. It will say that there is a download error and then that it can't be downloaded at this time. It will get to about 3MG of how ever much needs to be downloade

    I've tried this many times and never seems to work

    Thank you for the reply. I am on a home network. ISP is centurylink DSL service located in midwest, so USA. WPA security type with 10 digit numerical password. I verified IMAP does work on my network, my gmail account adds perfectly fine in mail on the mac. I also checked that there is not a proxy server setup. *this has been occuring in all 3 of the places I have lived in the past 5 years or so, no matter the ISP.
    What is really bizarre is my iphone 4s works fine with everything. Notes sync with icloud. Mail syncs with my icloud and gmail accounts fine. The iphone is also connecting to the same wireless network. Another thing, my iphone works with a hotmail account too, which is POP (dang microsoft), but I wonder why apple won't let it work on mail on the macs.

  • IPad 2 keeps saying "Application cannot be downloaded at this time" when I try to update GarageBand

    I'm trying to update GarageBand on my iPad 2 and I keep getting an error message saying that the "Application cannot be downloaded at this time." It's been saying that for nearly a week. I have 4.8GB of free space. And I just updated to the most current iOS. I've shut down and restarted the iPad multiple times. I've deleted multiple other apps. Anyone have any ideas as to what is wrong?

  • Apps "cannot be downloaded at this time" - why?

    On my iPad, iPhone and Macs, 90% of the time I try to purchase an app or download updates I get this message, over and over and over and over again:
    "(App name) cannot be downloaded at this time, please try again later. DONE / TRY AGAIN"
    If I try again it gives me the same message instantly. If I click DONE then I can't use my app because it's stuck in download/update mode. If I tap on it a few minutes or a few hours later there's a chance it might start downloading, and an equal chance it will tell me it can't be downloaded at this time.
    This has been going on for weeks now. It is the single most infuriating feature of my Apple products. It's not specific to devices so please don't ask me to reinstall the system software on my my iPhone, iPad, iMac and MacBook Pro. It appears to be a taint on my account, or an Apple's store servers.
    I am really, really fed up of it now. How can it be fixed?

    anybody！

  • HELP!!!!!! I'm trying to download a few game/apps on my iPad and it's just saying waiting and not budging????? Anyone know what this might be? Please help me!!!

    HELP!!!!!! I'm trying to download a few game/apps on my iPad and it's just saying waiting and not budging????? Anyone know what this might be? Please help me!!!

    Although having it loading 5 at a time is not ideal, the iPad is more than capable of doing it, it merely pauses those after the first requested. It will install one at a time then go to the next, installing one at a time rather than trying to do a group like this shouldn't yield any great benefit.
    Also don't forget that some apps are hundreds of MB in size so depending on your internet connection will just take a lot longer to download than those which are only 1 or 2 MB in size.
    I only have a 0.8MB broadband connection when it's at it's fastest so am used to checking the sizes of apps before downloading, it's very frustrating when you forget and hit download only to spend the next 30 mins or so watching a blue progress bar creep across te 10 mm of icon space!!
    @shannon207 Seeing as you are no longer posting I can only assume you have sorted the issue.
    If you are still having issues please post again and we can try and help further.

    Ok, it sounds like you are getting to the final step. (i.e., Your on your iPhone, showing a good Wi-Fi connection, you are using the App Store and have selected the App you want.  The small Icon for your App is showing a bar at the bottom that has an open "fill bar" that is going to track the download and installation of the App.  But at this point you get an Error Message.  The Error Message Says, "?????"  Try again latter?  What?
    Just for fun, try downloading the App while you and your iPhone are as close to the Wi-Fi Router as possible.  Lets see if you are just experiencing a weak Wi-Fi signal.  This can cause App Downloads to fail.

  • Hiya, I've got a weird problem with my iPhone4. On the 'home page' of my iPhone the mail symbol tells me there's a new mail waiting for me. However, there's no new mail to be found. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks

    This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

    Your Desktop Picture settings and Dock items are stored in the files
    /Users/your short user name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist and
    /Users/your short user name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
    in the "Preferences" folder in your user library. This looks like the system has trouble to write to these files. Check the permissions on your user library and remove the above files from your user library, then log off and on again.
    Your user library is hidden in Lion and Mt. Lion. To reveal it, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Select "Go" in the Finder's main menu bar and hold down the alt/option key, until you see the "Library"  in the drop-down menu. Double click it to open a Finder window, so you can browse the files inside.

    AVI is a legacy file container originated by Microsoft back in 1992 and which has not been officially supported for more than a decade. Like the container, many of the codecs commonly used to create AVI content are also "legacy" compression formats most often supported on PC/Windows platforms. In fact, some codecs have never been transcoded for Mac use. Of those that have, many never made the transition to Mac OS X or the transition to Intel-based platforms. Those codecs that are still supported on the Mac can normally be found in the avi to quicktime converter available as an online download. While some common AVI compression formats may be supported by the QT X Player app, QT 7 currently provides a more compatible AVI playback environment for most "legacy" compression formats. If the codec(s) used in your AVI files are not supported by the avi to quicktime converter for QT use, you can try the VLC media player which may still support more esoteric compression formats. If  VLC does not support the files, the normal approach is to discover which specific audio and/or video codecs were used to create the file and perform an Internet search to see if a compatible Mac component is available for download.

    Don't know if there is an option make the download window stay up, but you can bring it back with Ctrl+J then right-click on the download to open the folder it was downloaded to.
