TS1702 "App could not be purchased at this time" error

Since upgrading to iOS7 every other app I try to install (free or paid) on my iPad 3 I get the "App could not be purchased at this time" box. After that the app store shows a the circling progress indicator rotating indefinitely below the app, and I can't click to try to install again.
The only way to get around to try installing the app again is to shut down and restart the iPad.
This has been happening since the release of iOS7 more than a month ago.
It's unlikely to be a network problem since it happened on various locations. The fact that I can't try to install again appears to be a bug to me.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Flavio.

Same issue here.
I have emoji installed too, but i found out that the most simple/fastest way of getting arround this issue is:
- open app-store
- buy app
- type in password
- get error (spinning)
- double tap - home button
- close/quit app-store-app (swipe up)
- open app-store again
- buy again (says already bought)
- app installs
pretty annoying indeed. Restart is not nessasary, as its the same as force-quitting the app-store-app.

  • I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, now what??

    This sorted it for me:
    Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
    To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.

  • Unable to Purchase: "APP" could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later.

    Everytime I've tried to purchase an app since downloading IOS 7 (don't get me started on the oh-so-many things that don't work with this new operating system, although this one really ticks me off) I can't download a single app from the app store. The message (above) is what I get with "APP" being the actual name of the app (ie. "Instagram"). The apps I already have on the phone will automatically update without a problem, this has to do with the actual new purchases (either free or paid) that I would like to make. I currently have the most up-to-date version of IOS 7 v. 7.0.4
    I have tried to do the following to no avail:
    1) A soft reset: Holding the top bottom and the home button simultaneously until the phone powers itself off and automatically comes back on.
    2) Signed in and out of my Apple iTunes account.
    3) Signed out of my Apple iTunes account, did a soft reset, signed back in once the phone powered back up.
    4) Changed the credit card information to a different credit card just in case for some strange reason Apple didn't like my credit card.
    Any suggestions that anyone else may have (and please don't link to a troubleshooting article, those are hardly helpful) would be great. I've looked through Apple's support communities and haven't found a single answer to this question, although I've seen similiar questions and no real answers thus far.
    Thank you.

    I also have the same issue. Unable to easily purchase apps from the app store. Get the unable to purchase app purchase, followed by a never ending spinning circle next to the app title. I've discovered that closing out of the app, and attempting to redownload from the purchase list usually works.
    Apple has really screwed up the user experience with ios7. This is inexcusable. A $600 device that is supposedly state of the art, and you have to try several work arounds to download apps is tragic. If Steve Jobs were around, several heads would have rolled by now. This needs to be fixed now, not in February, not in March.

  • App Store says, "Tuner! and 4 other apps could not be downloaded at this time. Please try again later." How may I appease the Store?

    App Store says, "Tuner! and 4 other apps could not be downloaded at this time. Please try again later."
    How may I appease the Store? The message first appeared a couple of weeks ago and seems to reappear every time I download something from the App Store, be it an update or a new app. I tried re-downloading and re-deleting "Tuner!" (this is the only one whose name I can see), but to no avail. I even tried hiding a whole load of apps from my Purchased list (including Tuner!) in the hope that the five offenders would GO AWAY and stop waiting around being nuisances ;) I haven't noticed them slowing down/stopping my other downloads, so I never paid the pop-up notice much attention, but it is starting to bug me now.
    Thank you if you can help.

    I have been getting the message from time to time over the last couple of weeks.  I just click through, and the download haooens anyway.      The other day I looged onto my accout in apple.com, and it simply wanted me to verify the ccv on the credit card.    
    I am glas your solution worked, but I am not sure you needed to do a full wipe and reinstall.   There is some goofy stuff going on with the store, but nothing you can't get by.

    Any new solutions, thanks!

    I have no idea where you're seeing this message, but one possibility is that someone else has access to your Apple ID and is trying to purchase that item. If nobody else is supposed to have access to your Apple ID, it may have been hacked. See:

  • "This task could not be updated at this time" Error in Outlook 2010 on Workflow Form

    Hi,
    I have setup a workflow to send task notifications to users and am getting an error when attempting to act on the InfoPath based workflow task form that appears in Outlook 2010 when clicking on the "Edit this task" button.  After clicking Approve, the
    form disappears, but after a few seconds a dialog box appears that says:
    "This task could not be updated at this time"
    The funny thing is that the task actually does get updated, but there is often a delay in doing so.  Does this warning appear because the server has a backup of workflow items to deal with?  I saw that in 2007 it meant something wasn't properly
    installed with InfoPath, but I am not sure if that is the case here or not.  Any guidance would be appreciated.
    I am using Office 2010 and SharePoint Server 2010.

    I have the same issue. If I had to guess it's because the workflow in question goes stale and has to recompile, thus it times out on the client even thou it gets submitted to the server so it eventually processes.
    Now either they need a longer time out fix, or we need some way to keep the workflow actively in memory somehow on our end for it to not do it. Preferably the longer timeout method would be best to save on ram, but I bet in bigger environments or workflows
    that get used often this won't be the issue.
    You can pretty much reproduce this if you have 2 tasks from the same workflow, the first one will give the error. then after that if you wait a minute for the workflow to get going, then close your 2nd task, it will be instant. So it's something with the
    way it's getting garbage collected and having to recompile that's causing this delay with the client and a timeout just needs extended or something to give the server a chance to finish loading up the workflow.
    Also there is a good article explaining reasons and solutions:

  • Unable to purchase " appname " could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later.

    Hello Apple support community,
    Since I upgraded my Ipad 3 (64GB + Cellular) to IOS 7 , i cant purchase or install free apps from the app store. My app store region is Turkish and i am subscribe to itunes match.
    However after searching the web for a little bit i found the solution, i had to change my language to Turkish on my ipad to match store region language, now i can install free apps or purchase apps.
    My problem is i don't want to use my ipad in Turkish language, how can i change my language on my Ipad back to English and still be able to purchase apps from the app store ?
    I am also running IOS 7 on my iphone 4s with Turkish app store and English for my phone language, i can use the app store without any problem. The problem is only on my Ipad.
    Note: All my idevices running 7.0.2
    Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    Solved :
    Restore Ipad and set it up as new Ipad. Install all your apps and setting again.

  • When trying to update or download a app it comes up "could not be downloaded at this time"

    When trying to update or download a app it comes up "could not be downloaded at this time".. does anyone know what i can do to fix the problem???

    Try to sign out of iTunes. Then reboot your iPad (hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds, when you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot) then sign back into iTunes and see if you can download the app.

    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

    One correction, from the icloud I was not able to listed to the entire song.  So when you purchased the song if it wasn't downloaded to your library, chances are you have lost your opportunity to listen to it.

    Upon switching on my ipad, I'm getting the caption "Unable to Download Application "*Solitaire" could not be downloaded at this time." Further, I'm getting 2 options - Done & Retry, both of which are not responding. The ipad is in the hanged situation for all practical purposes. How do I get out of this situation?

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
    2. For about 10 seconds
    3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
    4. Ignore the red slider
