UNABLE TO DOWNLOAD APPS THIS TIME

Starting to get on my nerves now all the time when i try to download apps or update existing ones it always says 'unable to download apps at this time, retry or done' clicked retry same message appears tried again a couple of hours later same freeekin thiNg happens!! Anybody else having this problem with the iphone 4 or ipad 2?

Settings > General > Network > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?
Does this only occur on cellular data? Wi-Fi? or both?

    Hey Prahaladvatsan,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, there is a blank app icon on the home screen. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

    Rebooting will not make you lose any content. Rebooting is when you hold the home button and the sleep button down at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    You can these suggestions. One might work for you.
    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. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.

  • TS1424 I have purchased a film and an album in iTunes. They all appear under downloads but state 'download error, tap to retry'.  When I retry a box appears quoting the title of the film/song and ''unable to download at this time'.  Help pls!!

    Recently rented a film and bought an album on iTunes. The items appear in my purchased items and in my download items however they have a download error tap to retry. When I retry I box appears quoting name of item and unable to download at this time. What do I need to check? I have had no problems downloading before and my Internet signal is strong. Help please!!

    For the rental:
    Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
    For the music:
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Podcasts always "Unable to download at this time", despite retry, reboots

    I have an iPhone 4 (not S), running 7.1.2, which is the latest version of iOS that will run on it. I know that means that eventually it's going to stop working, but I can't afford to shell out on a new piece of hardware anytime soon, so I've been trying to baby it along.
    Starting with the new Podcasts app, I began to get occasional "Unable to download at this time" messages, but clicking again would download them, or failing that, turning the phone completely off and then on. Once I went a whole week without being able to download, but it turned out the phone was full -- once I downloaded some excess photos and listened to some hour-long episodes, they downloaded just fine again.
    Starting this week, nothing will download, no matter what I do. I have a full gig free. I have rebooted it several times a day all week,
    I do not use iTunes to sync my downloads, because the desktop version refuses to mark episodes played that I listened to on the device, so the instant I start iTunes it starts downloading hundreds of episodes that I've already finished long ago. Because of this, I download episodes directly to the iPhone over wifi as my primary method.

  • HT201272 This method is exactly how I'm trying to get my music on my new iPod touch, it starts downloading but then stop and says unable to download at this time. What the **** is going on ?

    This method is exactly how I'm trying to get my music on my new iPod touch, it starts downloading but then stop and says unable to download at this time. What the **** is going on ?

    Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
    It also could be due to an Apple server problem. and yu will just have to wait and try again.

  • I am unable to fully download iPhoto on my iPad 2. It downloads nearly to the end and then I get a message that says"unable to download at this time." This time has now lasted two weeks. What do I do? Many thanks!

    How do I download iPhoto to my iPad 2 iOS 6? It refuses to fully download. Towards the end of the download, I get a message that says "unable to download at this time." This time has now lasted two weeks. I already have iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. Many thanks.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have downloaded an album through itunes and there are 4 songs that have a cloud with a red arrow pointing downwards, when I click on it it says unable to download at this time.  Why is this?

    i have purchased an album via itunes and there are 4 songs that have a cloud with an red arrow pointing down, when I click on it it says unable to download at this time.   Why?

    I'm not sure if they could tell you but you could try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click iTunes>iTunes Store>Purchases, Billing & Redemption.  You will need your serial number, which you can find in Settings>General>About.

  • Unable to download at this time

    I have a number of ipad mini's that I'm attempting to set up to use in a school. First three work fine but for the 4th I've been though the set up and can't download any apps.
    Internet connection works fine. Account seems to be set up properly. I keep getting a message saying unbable to download at this time.
    I have reset the pad and done a hard reset to start from scratch twice now and still the same happens. Please help because this could soon become a very expensive frisbee.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the quick response. I gave this a try but unfortunately the same problem appears. I have even returned the ipad to factory settings and started the set up process again with the same issue cropping up.
    You have given me another idea though. I'll take it home with me and see if I can download apps using my home wifi and router. This might help to narrow down what the problem is.
    Any further suggestions are also much appreciated.
    I've poked around this help forum and I see a few people have had similar issues with differing success/resolution.

  • Why would I repeatedly receive an "unable to download at this time " error message when memory and signal do not seem to be a problem?

    Why would I repeatedly receive a download error message when memory is sufficient?

    Uh, maybe it's a server problem, and unrelated to you or your device?
