"This app cannot be downloaded at this time" problems

I Have a iPhone 4S version 7.0.3 and for the past week I've been unable to download or update any of my apps. I've been searching these forums and nothing I've seen has worked. I've turned it on and off I've reset all my settings I've signed in an out of the App Store and iTunes. The only option I haven't tried is the whole restore thing. But my laptop won't support any form of iTunes so I cant back up my phone so I can reset it. I've tried to back up my phone to iCloud and no matter where I go and how long I stay there plugged in and connected to wifi it won't back up. this app download problem is recent and I can't figure out how to fix it. Please 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!

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.

Cannot download the apps and it keeps saying the app cannot be downloaded at this time

Every time I try to download free apps, it keeps telling me the app cannot be downloaded at this time. I tried to download the same app for 3days and it keeps telling me the same thing

Worked on my iPhone. Tried many methods which in support communities here. All failed (replaced hosts file, disable antivirus/firewall, on/off wifi, sign in/out itunes)
Finally there is a funny "unclick" let me successfully settled this issue. Make sure the option of "Automatically sync when this iphone is connected" is unclicked, at the time when iphone is connected to iTunes. It is the setting at iTunes iPhone Summary page. Hope this can help you so.

HT201272 I realize that lately every time I try to redownload apps I have previously purchased I keep getting 'app cannot be downloaded at this time'. Please help.

I need help with re loading apps I have previously purchased. I keep getting the message 'app cannot be downloaded at this time'

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

It started when tryung to update Twitter. Now the problem is with every app I try to update or download.

I have this issue as well. The App Store icon indicates there are updates available but when I open the app a popup says it can't connect to the store and the screen remains white. I have tried a hard reset (power & home button) and several other suggestions I have found throughout the forums here without success.

When I am connected to the WiFi, my apps cannot be download. Once I had disable the wifi and connect directly to the service provider, the apps will start to download. Please advise what is the problem and solution for my iPhone 5.

I can't follow your meaning. What does connect directly to your ISP mean?
Did you mean turning off WiFi but turning on Cellular Data on your iPhone?

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！

I purchased the entire season of The Pacific. After downloading 3 of 11 episodes I keep receiving an error message that the remaining episodes cannot be downloaded at thist time. This has continued for several days.

I purchased the entire season of the Pacific from the iTunes Store. After downloading 3 of 11 episodes, I continue to receive an error message that the remaining episodes could not be downloaded at this time. This has continued for several days. There is plenty of room on my iPad 2.

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Our phone support is open every day Monday through Sunday, although there are different hours of operation for the weekend. If after a webOS Doctor reset you are still experiencing the same problems, I would likely recommend replacement, either in a local store for your carrier or through our technical support department.
There may be additional technical support offered or suggested over the phone, this would need to be done first before a replacement could be issued.
Hope this helps,

Why apps cannot be downloaded because of EXTREME SLOW DOWNLOAD SPEEDS?

I have iPad 2 with iOS 6.1.3
Starting from last months until today, I have a big trouble with my iPad about EXTREMELY SLOW APP DOWNLOAD SPEED, in both downloading new apps and updating the currents apps from store.
Only one app can take 1-2 hours to be downloaded. Some times even half day needed. Or sometimes process can finish with fail and says "could not be downloaded at this time"
IT IS PAINFUL !
I checked & did the following below, but I couldn't solve this issue. Please HELP !
- My WIFI internet speed of home network is Great, no problem about that
- I've already used a "Speed Test app" from iPad and it is great, no problem in the speed also
- I've checked the space and more than 30 GB is empty in the device
- I've completely disabled Genius Apps feature
- I tried many times hard reset by long pressing power and home buttons together
Nothing can be solution the the problem. What can be wrong about downloading apps?

Mac App cannot be opened because of a problem?

I just downloaded the free iProcrastinate app from the Mac App Store, but when I tried to open it, an error message popped up. It said:
iProcrastinate cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Safari works with this version of Mac OSX. You may have to reinstall the application. Be sure to sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OSX.
I installed it twice and made sure it was compatible with my operating system (OSX 10.7), and it should be working. I also downloaded a similar free app, and that one opened and worked fine. It was only this one that wouldn't open.

Apps cannot be downloaded OTA on iPhone 4 after iOS6 update

My apps couldn't be downloaded after I updated to iOS 6. It says 'Waiting'. What do I do?

this link might help /
http://lifehacker.com/5948155/fix-iphone-apps-stuck-waiting-during-installation
Single tap the app's icon on the home screen and it will pause the download. Now go back to the iTunes App Store, switch to the "Updates" screen and click "Update" to resume the download. This is what I do on my iOS device and the fix works most of the times.

HT4623 Since I updated to ios my iphone now would not sync and so my music from my comp would nit transfer to my iphone, the prompt " download 10.6.3 " kept comin up but the certain app cannot be downloaded, anyone with the same problem? What did u do?

Since I used ios my iphone now would not sync. So the songs from my computer would not transfer to my iphone, I kept getting " download 10.6.3 version " but this app is impossible to download. Please help... Any suggestions.

You don't provide much info on which version of iOS you started with, what iOS you updated to and what version of iTunes is on your computer. Be nice to know also if you are using a Mac or a pc to sync.
But I'll make a guess that you have a Mac and it has an older version of OSX on it. I'll also guess that you updated to iOS 6.1.3 and now find that iTunes on your Mac will not recognize your iPhone.
iOS 6.1.3 requires iTunes 10.7 or later.
iTunes 10.7 and later ( iTunes 11.0.1 is the cur recent version of iTunes) requires Mac OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or later. The latest version of OSX is 10.8.3.
If this is the case for you the only way you can sync with your computer is to upgrade your OSX to at least 10.6.8 and install iTunes 11.
Not all macs can update to OSX 10.6.8.
