"Update All Apps" in iTunes only downloads one at a time.

From Library / Apps (left pane), clicking "Update All Apps" button (bottom-right), I'm prompted for my Apple ID password, I enter it, it's accepted…and only one app update downloads. I click the button again, and the next downloads.
Why don't all updates download?
iTunes for Mac 11.2.2 (3)
2011 13" MacBook Pro
Mac OS X 9.3 Mavericks

With some notable exceptions like audio apps that actually run in the background, most apps on the task bar are not actually running.  They are not actually doing anything, just sitting there in a suspended state until the next time you execute them by bringing them up on the screen.  There really is no need nor reason to be constantly clearing them away.

  • Update all apps on iTunes on my laptop won't update

    28Jun2014
    I have a laptop that I usually keep shutdown until I go travel.   I use iTunes for Macintosh, version 11.2.2 (3), 64 bits for both computers.
    I have a desk top computer at home that is networked with the laptop through the finder and I transfer music and newly acquired apps using iTunes.
    When I have the App Library open, and the Update tab set, I see that I have 200 apps to be updated.   When I selected UPDATE ALL, my laptop starts downloading apps. When the downloads are done, I see that the same apps are in the Update All window.
    My internet provider warned me that I have downloaded too many Gigabites.   My internet bill is large enough, I don't want to keep downloading the same app updates and still have the apps un-updated.   I also don't want my ISP to charge me for over use.
    What can I do to update the apps on my laptop.
    Also, In order to keep the downloads to a minimum, I'd rather just update my desktop then transfer the updated apps to the laptop from the desktop.  Is that possible.   I want the laptop to mirror the desktop with regards to music, podcasts and apps as much as possible.
    Why won't my laptop update apps?
    Thank you for your help with this.

    I took it to a ohone shop today and they're going to try and fix the phone without altering the memory, but apparently that's quite hard to do with IPhones
    That will void any support from Apple. If you take the device to an Apple store you would be able to get an out of warranty replacement. A third party shop may make things worse and end up costing you more. Apple does not sell parts so all the third party shop will be able to use are parts from damaged or stolen devices. If the third party shop cannot fix the device you will have to pay full price for a replacement phone rather than the discounted price from Apple.

  • WIll apple ever make it so you can delete all apps in multitasking without deleting one at a time?

    I think it's annoying when you have to delete a app at a time in the multiask bar. It would be good if they made it so there is a button saying delete all apps in mutlitasking bar. It would make me and probably many other apple users happy. It would save a lot time.

  • Where is the "Update All Apps" in iTunes

    I cannot locate it anywhere & updating apps one-by-one on all devices is cumbersome (iPad 1, iPad 3, iPod Touch, iPhone 4S white & iPhone 4S black)!

    OK.  I just found it in iTunes.  There is a separate heading for updates. 
    If you're in the Library and then switch to Apps, you can display ...
    "All"   "iPhone/iPod Touch"   "iPad"   "iPod Games"    "List"     "Updates"
    Just go to "Updates" and the option is there. 

  • Windows Update on VMs seems to only work one at a time

    I have a handful of Win 2012 R2 VMs (running on ESXi) I've inherited. I've tried 3 or 4 times to update them now since taking them
    over, and noticed the strangest thing - only one of them will download updates at a time. If I start the update on all of them, the others will just hang at 0%. A little while after one finishes, another one will finally start to download. I'm completely stumped
    as to why/how this could be happening. Is this even possible, or just an incredibly strange coincidence? Is there anything I can check to prove one way or the other? I'm wondering if it's something odd like they were all cloned from one base VM in some odd
    way such that WU is seeing them as the same server when they try to connect or something... Other computers can connect to WU while this is happening; it's just this little cluster of VMs that were all built together.

    Hi Allison,
    Just addition. Did you check if those problematic VMs can access internet at the same time? For example, can
    those VMs browser any webpage successfully at the same time, not just download updates? Meanwhile, please check if there has policies on router ports to limit the number of MAC addresses per port.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • "Update all apps" button - only one app is downloaded!

    Every time if I click on "Update all apps" to update more than one app, iTunes is downloading one app only. I have to click a second time on the button to download the rest.

  • Itunes crash during update all apps or even a few apps at a time in windows

    My itunes crashes when I click "update all apps" or even when I just update manually a few apps at a time.  Its not related to the version of itunes it seems the issue has occured during the passed few versions.  I've tried logging off the store account and relogging in.  I've reinstalled itunes.  I've uninstalled all apple programs from the pc and itunes and reinstalled everything fresh. I've deleted the library files and let itunes create new ones and the issue still persists. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi dj_alien,
    If you are having an issue with iTunes for Windows quitting unexpectedly during use, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • ITunes 11 for Mac "Update All Apps" grayed out, requiring relaunch to update again

    On iTunes 11.2.1 (1) "Update All Apps" grays out after I update once. I need to relaunch iTunes to get it to be clickable again. I am definitely logged in, etc., so it seems like a bug with iTunes, yes?

    The last several versions of iTunes have had this bug. The "Update All Apps" works once, and then it's greyed out after that until you quit and relaunch.
    As a workaround, you can click the first app, hold down the shift key, and click the last app to select them all. Then right click on one of the apps and select "Update X Apps."

  • Ok so I updated to iOS 7 on my iPod (5th) it let me update my apps but I cannot download new apps thanks to the terms and conditions. Also my iTunes won't start it just blank, I tried everything I need help

    Ok so I updated to iOS 7 on my iPod (5th) it let me update my apps but I cannot download new apps thanks to the terms and conditions. Also my iTunes won't start it just blank, I tried everything I need help

       Did you download the new iTunes update that was also released this afternoon? That might be the problem. The new iTunes update came out today as well as the new iOS 7 update and if you haven't downloaded the new iTunes update it may be a compatibility problem so if you didn't, first update to the new iTunes and try again.

  • My iphone4s can not update the apps while it could download the apps. It shows that the update can not access to itune store.

    My iphone4s can not update the apps while it could download the apps. It shows that the update can not access to itune store. I don't know how to deal with it...

    Many people (including me) are having the same problem at present. There are other threads in the message board with the same complaint.
    There is nothing you can do about it except wait for Apple to fix the problem.

  • Update all apps does not work

    Since the previous version of iTunes and including the new one I just installed (11.3) doe not work as expected, or as it used to. When I check for my installed Apps, and there are more than one app to update, I click the option in the bottom right that says 'Update all apps', but when you do that, it only updates the first one, and you then have to click it again for each individual app. What is the purpose of an 'Update ALL apps' if it doesn't do that?
    Also, why has the option to sign in and stay signed in gone? I used to be able to do that, so when I opened iTunes I was automatically logged in and could continue, but now I have to login each time I open iTunes. This is annoying.
    Thanks for the help.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming this is not the first time you have used your Apple TV
    You might try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Also try restarting the router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    If the problem persists, try a restore, you may want to try the previous procedures several times before doing this.
    If restoring from the Apple TV doesn't help, try restoring from iTunes using a USB cable.
    If this is a new Apple TV, in addition to trying the above, it may also be that your network router is not allowing access to the timeserver, check that your router allows access over port 123.

  • How can I update my apps in iTunes 11.0.1

    I downloaded the new version of iTunes (11.0.1) and it looks like there is no way to update the apps in iTunes.  This is much faster and easier than having to do it on my phone.
    who has an answer?

    Then to solve the problem create a new user account so your wife will have a separate account on the computer. She also needs to get her own Apple ID.
    Now she can have her own separate library. Reconfigure her phone from her new user account including changing the Apple ID and other information on her phone so it will all be tied to her iTunes Library.
    It is possible to share music across the two different accounts:
    iTunes- How to share music and video
    A different approach is outlined below:
    Sharing Stuff From Different iTunes Accounts (or Computers)
    Here's how to do so using different computers:
    Transfer what content you want to the separate iTunes library on each computer. To transfer content from your library to another library do the following. We'll assume this is between husband and wife separate accounts and different Apple IDs.
    Launch iTunes under your wife's login;
    Sign her out of iTunes, then you sign in;
    Select iTunes -> Preferences -> Devices -> Disable auto-sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected;
    Connect your phone, DO NOT SYNC;
    Select Store -> Authorize this Computer (only have to do this once);
    Select File -> Transfer Purchases (all of the purchased content on your phone will be transferred to your wife's library);
    When complete eject your phone, sign out of iTunes, sign your wife back in.
    You can now sync whatever content you want to your wife's phone. Just remember all updates to apps obtained using your account must be done while signed in using your account: sign wife out, you sign in, update apps, you sign out, sign wife in, sync her phone.
    This way you can share content (permitted under the EUSLA) and still maintain your separate logins. Do the same on your computer if you want to share content from your wife's library.
    Just load whatever content you want to share on each others phones, transfer the content, then delete it from the respective phone if you don't want to keep it there.
    Contributed by user wjosten and modified by me.
    You can also share music libraries using Home Sharing. This way she can pick out of your old shared library what she wants, then you can remove them from your library.

  • BUG WITH "UPDATE ALL APPS":

    I have taken notice that in the last two iTunes Updates, it has affected the function of the “Update All APPS.”  If there are APPS to be updated and you click on the button “Update All APPS” it may update just one of the APPS and does not continue updating the remaining APPS.  I either have to click on each APP individually, and choose UPDATE or EXIT iTunes and reopen it and sign in again.  Even in doing so; iTunes may only UPDATE one APP and then stop; other times it will continue to finish the updating the remaining APPS.
    This can be quite frustrating especially when you have to go to each individual APP and choose UPDATE.   I think this is a bug that needs to be examined in iTunes.  I have uninstalled iTunes in the correct steps and reinstalled iTunes, but the problem still continues to happen.
    I am sure that you want your software to be consistent and felt I should bring this to your attention.
    Thank you for reviewing my feedback.  If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    It's still there for me (iOS 5.0.1), I used it a couple of hours ago.
    Have you tried closing the App Store app completely and then re-opening it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Is there a way I can view all apps I have ever downloaded?

    Is there a way I can view all apps I have ever downloaded? Like some sort of historical list associated to my account?
    It would help a great deal- I restored my phone from a backup after my iphone crashed- but I had downloaded many apps since then, so now I have to re-download all the missing apps. Thing is I cant remember all of them?
    Anone else have the same problem?

    Have you never synced your phone? Syncing puts copies of each app into iTunes for you to manage and have available to sync over when you want.
    Other than that, in iTunes, from top menus (forget which one, think under help) you can access your account and then view purchase history.
