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.

Thanks jdnjo. Your fix also worked in Windows 8!

"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.

My ipod touch is telling me that the skype and twitter apps need updating. When I try to run them they fail. I have tried deleting the apps via itunes but it doesn't work and I have tried updating the apps via itunes and it says they are updated.

My ipod touch is telling me that the Skype and Twitter apps need updating. When I try to update them they both fail. I have tried numerous times. I have tried connecting the ipod to itunes and removing the apps, to reload them but that does not work either. If I try and update the apps through itunes the system tells me they are updated. Can anyone assist please?

- Try a reset. It cures amny ills
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Have you tried deleting them from the iPod and then redownloading them dorectly to the iPod?

Easiest way to update all apps on iPhone 5S without having to click update for each one under the apps tab in iTunes

After I've used the download all updates option under the updates tab in the iTunes library Apps view, when I plug in my device (iPad or iPhone) and go to the device apps view I now have a button to the right of each of those apps that says "update" instead of "remove" or "install".
The problem is that my app library is enormous and often there are 20+ apps that had updates at one time and it's a royal pain having to scroll through the entire list to find the ones that have the "update" button that needs to be clicked.
Unfortunately iTunes doesn't have a sorting option in the pulldown called "updated" to bring those to the top.
Is there any way to easily select all of those apps rather than having to manually scroll through my whole library hunting for them just to click the update button?

Hi Twilight_Face!
You can always try a backup and restore in an attempt to get rid of these apps that were interrupted during the download and are no longer available:

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.

ITunes 'Update all apps' button only updates single app.

I want to update all my apps.
I click 'Update all apps' button.
iTunes asks for my password.
iTunes updates one app.
I click 'Update all apps' button.
iTunes updates all the other apps.
Why oh why oh why doesn't iTunes just update all the apps after I enter my password in the first place?

I have just updated iTunes my credit was there before update and now I can't download updates for Apps I have alreaady purchased, receive an error message to the effect 'due to a temporary problem with accounts......use an alternative payment' I don't need to pay for the update and am afraid to Redeem another gift voucher in case it goes missing too I was in MAS this morning and my credit was definitetly there but since the update it has vanished from MAS and iTunes
Edit: I can update my apps via my iPhone without the issues iTunes has atm

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.

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 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."

My apps are not being updated when pressing the update all button. It just says installing and no update is being done., my apps are not being updated when pressing the update all button. It just says installing and no update is being done.

Must be serious because you have stated the problem 4 times now.
Here are a number of things that you can try and maybe one of them will help.
Reboot 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.
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>iTunes & App 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>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
You can also try going to the App Store, find an app that needs an update, tap on the app icon to bring up the description page, then tap on install that way, rather than using the Update option from the app updates screen.
And ... You can always install the updates in iTunes on your computer and then sync them to the iPad.

Unable to update ios apps in itunes 11.0.3

Since the update to version 11.0.3, I am unable to figure out how to update iOS apps in iTunes.
It shows that there are updates available but the button to update the apps is now missing.
Does anyone know what happened and how to fix that? It is really annoying to me that it's gone.
Thanks.

There is an "updates" tab on top where you see other options for your application for categorisation such as "All", iPAD..

"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.

Folders disappear after updating all apps

Spend all this time organizing apps in folders, then as soon as I "update all apps" the folders disappear and the apps are in alphebetical order again. This has happened several times. Also some of the apps will be gone because there are too many to fit without folders. What good is the folder feature if they won't stay there? Anyone know if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug with i0S4? I have a 2nd gen. Ipod touch. The folder feature is supposed to work with it.

Painthead--
I have a 2nd Gen iPod touch. The folders feature does work with it; I've had no issues...yet.
Try this: once you have moved apps into folders--before doing the update all apps--let the iPod synch. You then should be able to update apps to your hearts content, because both the iPod and iTunes understand your folders.

What happened to Update All Apps???

I can no longer select UPDATE ALL apps on my iPhone. For some insane reason, if I have 4 updates, I have to go to the App store, select an app, click on Free, click on install, then watch it start loading the program, then go BACK to the app store, and repeat the process for every app?
And I no longer get update notifications or options in iTunes? Is this for real??

Yes, now none of my applications will open. The application attempts to open, the goes back to the desktop screen. I had this happen once before, but when I "updated all" it fixed the problem. Now non of my applications work!!
I have attempted deleting all applications and reloading them, but no dice. I says I have already loaded installed the applications. I reinstall, but it still does not work.
Anyone have a solution for this?
