"Unable to download application" appears when updating apps....????

Anyone had this appear before?  Same message appearing on two ipads! HELP!!

Hi,
I've been struggling to find a solution to this for days but just finally stumbled across a fix which worked for me.
If you are using your home wifi as your connection, go into the network settings and change the DNS to 8.8.8.8
I wrote my original settings down first in case this didn't work so I could put them back, but it worked first time.
Give it a go!

  • Incorrect apple id appears when updating apps can it be fixed?

    The account name that I used when setting up my ipad 1  is not the same apple id as my account when I goto update an app. Yet when i goto my itunes and scroll down to the bottom where it says account name etc it shows the correct name there. I want to know how to be able to get rid of this apple id that appears with the wrong name. Your help would be deeply appreciated. Also could you be so kind as in to give me directions in laymens terms as I am new to this and its the iPad1 .

    Go to settings and then to Store.
    An apple ID is listed here. If it's the wrong one, simply tap and edit it.
    Hope that helps.

  • HT4414 Issue: Apps won't update. Get pop-up stating, "Unable to Download Application. Evernote and/or apps updating cannot be downloaded at this time." WHY? What do I need to do?

    ISSUE: Apps won't update. Get pop-up stating, "Unable to Download Application., 'Evernote' or any app could not be downloaded at this time." How do I resolve this issue?

    See if either of these two things help.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.

  • Trying to update my apps: keep getting "Unable to download application"

    'Unable to download application' error message appears when I try to update most of my apps on my iphone.  Then that app freezes and is unusable indefinitely.  This started happening about a week ago. 
    I've synced it with my itunes, no change. Reset, no change. Restart, no change. Help!!!!!!

    Temporarily disable or turn off your Firewall and Anti-Virus software and try the download again.

  • My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application"

    My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
    It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
    Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?

  • Why does my iPod say "Unable to Download Application"? Other apps will download just fine and updating apps isn't an issue either, it's just this one app.

    A few days ago, I tried to redownload Sims FreePlay onto my iPod. I needed more room to update it to the latest update so the app just stayed on my screen but it's as if it's waiting to download. Today, I freed up a good 2GB of space on my iPod so the app should have no problem downloading. Instead of downloading, it says "Unable to Download Application" and that it could not be installed at this time. I downloaded a new app that downloaded with zero problems and I even updated an app with no trouble at all. I've also tried to delete the app so that I could just restart the download but nothing seems to work. Please help me. My progress that's stored on the cloud is going to expire either tomorrow or Saturday.

    That meassage and that you can downoad other apps indicates an Apple problem. Nothing you can do except keep trying.

  • Unable to download application app will be available for download when you log into the itues store on your computer

    My Ipad 2 keeps asking:-
    "unable to download application 'app' will be available for download when you log into the itunes store on your computer"
    If i connect it to the computer it is fine for around a week then it starts asking to be connected again, Is their any reason for this? as it is very annoying espicailly when access to a pc is difficult

    There is a 20mb file size limit over 3G.
    If you can connect via wifi, there is no file size limit.
    If that is not what you mean, I have no idea-never heard of or seen a message like you describe.

  • HT1386 unable to download application screen pops up whenever I try to download an app.

    Im getting "unable to download application" screen pops up whenever I try to download an app.

    A couple of questions.
    (1) Do you currently have a copy of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package installed on that PC? If so, try downloading the following security update:
    [Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package ATL Security Update|http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-4 0ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en#filelist]
    Does iTunes install for you after applying that update?
    (2) If no joy there, head into your Windows Update and click on the Update History. Have a lot of Updates also been failing for you recently? If so, doubleclick on the entries for the failed updates to bring up more information on each. What error codes appear for you for the failed updates? (Precise spelling, please.)

  • Problem with downloading apps. "Unable to download application" error.Help please!

    I'm having a major issue with updating or downloading apps. They won't download! I try to download an app, it's says "waiting", then it looks like it's about to download. Then, suddenly, the "loading"  bar gets halway filled, then it goes back to saying "waiting". This cycles about three or so times and then I get this message: "Unable to download application. Could not be downloaded at this time" with choices to be "done" or "retry".
    I have tried EVERYTHING to fix this. I tried pausing the download and restarting, I tried soft and hard resets, I tried signing out and back into the App Store, I tried resetting my settings, I tried restoring the phone as a new iPhone, nothing works! I am at my wits end! I have an appointment at the Genius bar tomorrow, but I'm hoping someone here can help me so I won't have to keep that appointment.  I've tried searching for my problem in the forums but none of the results are like mine. Could someone please help?
    EDIT: I also tried checking the iTunes queue. No purchases are stuck in the queue.

    Just wanted to update, since I can no longer edit my original post. I tried disabling bluetooth. That didn't do any good, either.

  • Unable to download application from app store

    I had been using iPhone for couple years now. With my new iPhone 5, I am now experiencing an issue with the App Store applications. This is the first time it happen to me.
    Issue: when I try to download apps from App Store, iPhone will have a pop up message saying "unable to download application" with popup buttons of "done" or "retry". I did some research and sadly I am not the first person with this issue. So I had tried other solutions from older posts ( like hard reset, change time, login logout, etc...) and I'm not getting anywhere.
    Question: Does anyone out there has a solid answer for this issue?
    Thanks.

    Is there a debit card associated with your iTunes account - debit cards
    are no longer accepted for payment.
    Is there an outstanding balance due on your account? You must resolve
    that before downloading anything, even free apps.

  • TS3992 Okay followed your advice cleared and restored because apps would not download.  Restore was successful, however error is "Unable to Download Application" done or retry!  So now what?

    Okay followed your advice on previous page to reset iPod Touch and restore because apps would not download updates.  Restore was successful, however app starts to load goes half way then freezes. Error message is "Unable to Download Application" Done or Retry buttons.  Neither one works.  So now what?  I have several financial apps that I need.  Please help!  Researched on net and seems to be a common problem.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    There seems to be rather more of this type of issue being reported currently, than there normally is, there may well be a problem with the servers. I would be inclined to wait a while, then try again later.

  • I am trying to download a free app and keep getting an 'unable to download application' saying I have to sign in to the iTunes store...and I have! What else can I do?

    I am trying to download a free app and keep getting the message 'unable to download application' and says I have to sign in to the iTunes store...which I have! What else do I need to do?

    We are using wireless...guess it's 3G. Are not having internet problems, synced with the computer even. Can't seem to get anything with iTunes even though we are signed in.

  • Unable to download application updates

    Since installing SL a few days ago I am unable to download applications eg .dmg or .exe as I get the message:
    ".... could not be saved because you cannot change the contents of that folder...."
    The location in question is usually the desktop although even changing the download location does not alter the message.
    Seem to be able to run software update without any problem. Problem first and repeatedly occurred trying to update version of firefox.
    I have run disk utility as I thought it might be a permissions thing but no change.
    Any thoughts?

    Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    You could have some directory corruption. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
    After that Repair Permissions one more time.
    No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.
