hello there
despite strong wireless connectivity, no matter what i do, i get the message "cannot be downloaded at thisntime" for any app that i have been sent an update for. i now have 23 updates waiting to be downloaded, according to my appnstore! can anyone advise? thank you very much.

Try the basics if you haven already done so.
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.
Reset 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.
Sign out of your account, then sign in again. Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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

  • HT4095 I've rented an SD movie from iTunes but cannot download it. Message reads "download error" followed by a small window with message "movie cannot be downloaded at this time. I have been billed by iTunes. What next?

    I've rented an SD movie from iTunes but cannot download it as I normally do to my iPad 2. Message reads "download error" followed by a small window with message "movie cannot be downloaded at this time". I have been billed by iTunes. What next?

    Hi, Kenny. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There are a couple things that I would recommend trying.  Try closing all open applications and power cycle the device.  Next, go through the section labeled Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in the second article below.  If the issue persists, try completely signing out of the iTunes Store on the iOS device and sign back in.  Be sure to test downloading an application after each step.

    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!

  • I upgraded my iMac to Lion and now it won't keep a wireless connection. Any suggestions on what I can try?

    Upgraded my 27" iMac (4 GB memore/3.2 GHz Intel Core i3) to Lion 10.7 and now it won't keep a connection to my wireless. I've had to shift over to working on my MacBook Pro which is also upgraded to Lion but showing no problems whatsoever.
    I bought the iMac this summer, refurbished from Apple. I've also never been able to get it to play video ... might or might not be related to the problem here. (yes, I've updated the silverlight)
    Any suggestions on what it might be or what I can try?

    Have you used Software Update to update to 10.7.1. That update was suppose to fix some WiFi Issues.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4764

  • Since Nov 14 I haven't been able to access iBooks. I get the message "unable to download application. iBooks cannot be downloaded at this time "

    Since Nov 14 I havent been able to access iBooks. I get a window saying "unable to download application. iBooks cannot be downloaded at this time" . I have powered off and on countless times but it just won't open. Any suggestions please?

    Demo, I tried this but I still get the same message.
    When I look at the iBooks app on the iPad screen the slider at the bottom is permanently visible as if it is about to download. When I tap the app to start downloading "waiting" appears underneath for about one second then it disappears and the above message window pops up.
    So for the last month I have not been able to read any of the 3 books I recently downloaded. I haven't been able to do much about it as I have been travelling from the UK to Asia (the long way) so Apple stores haven't been on my route. I had hoped to read the books while travelling on various flights but it's been very frustrating not being able to do so.
    Thanks for your suggestion. Do you think it could have something to do with my iPad being an older version - MB294B (5.1.1 9B206)? Maybe it's telling me I need to buy a new one.
    PS. Exactly the same thing is happening with another of my apps. It is for an online store in the UK which I won't be using again for some time so I'm not too bothered about that one.

  • Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded." I do have an ID account and my software has been updated.

       Hello there, I'm new to the Apple world, and I'm still learning my way around.
    Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded."
    It doesn't ask me for payment or anything. When I click on download, about 10 seconds later, that message pops up and nothing is downloaded onto my laptop. I can download other stuff onto my laptop for e.g. Microsoft Word and other various programs such as Google Chrome from the internet. However, I just cannot download from App Store. Any suggestions on how I can download apps?

    There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
    I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
    Anyways, thanks for your suggestion. 

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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！

  • My apps will not download. It says that they cannot be downloaded at this time. I just brought my Iphone5 32gb today. I have my data plan turned on.What's the problem?

    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.
