Update apps through iTunes

I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5. My iPhone shows that there are updates for two of my apps. When I select Store > Check for Available Downloads in iTunes I get a message that says "All purchases have been downloaded for this account." How can I update the apps through iTunes?

What I meant is that iTunes has the 2 apps already updated. You need to connect & select iPhone in iTunes and click the Sync button as describe above to update the apps on iPhone.
I want to avoid using 2.
Why?

  • Can't install or update apps through iTunes

    Seems I can't install or update apps through iTunes. It keeps giving me error messages. I the only way I can get around this is updating through the App Store app on iPod touch. I think this problem started since updating to Lion.    

    What are the specific error messages?

  • Can no longer access itunes store to update apps through itunes OR on iphon

    I just updated to the 2.2 software on the iphone. Ever since, any time I try to update an application (or even check for updates) I get a message saying itunes can't connect to the store, check my network connection, etc. I get the same problem if I try to check for updates directly from the iphone or from itunes on my computer. I see many people are having problems with the itunes store. I assume that since I am having the same problem on my phone and on my computer, and since so many other people are having problems, that this is some kind of problem with Apple and not with my set up. However, I have not seen anyone else mention problems connecting from their phone the way I am.
    Other than upgrading to 2.2 there is nothing different about my system - accept I did also try upgrading to the newest iTunes. The problem happened with version 8 and with whatever the current version is. I am using Vista - I never had any problem like this before.
    Any help or comments would be much appreciated.

    I am also having this problem, i can no longer search for app's updates through the latest release of itunes 8.0.2 and also the latest iphone 3g update version 2.2 - this has been going on for about 15 hrs now. If i try to update through my iphone the the page eventually times out or comes up with "unable to connect to itunes store"., If i try through itunes itself, the windows comes up with the progress bar type thing and accessing itunes store, then after a while just comes up with "iphone sync complete, Ok to disconnect" - but i'm not syncing my iphone i'm trying to update the apps.....
    Come on Apple get your act sorted out...

  • I am having trouble updating apps through iTunes, iTunes shuts down when I try to sync.

    I am having trouble updating apps that I have on my iPhone through iTunes.  I go through the update then when syncing I get an error message iTunes has to shut down.  The only way I have been able to work around is to delete the app and download it again.  If I don't do this the app says waiting on my iPhone.

    I just got the same message myself. Which I have only had 2 times in three years, so I checked here.

    There is an issue with the iTunes Store on Apple's end, so I assume that is why we cannot connect.

  • Issue with Updating Apps through iTunes

    I have been having this issue for sometime now, and through multiple versions of iTunes. Whenever I open up iTunes and see that there are apps that I need up update, i'll click on applications, ill go and click update apps, I'll see the apps that need to be updated and ill click update. I put in my password, but when I do that, I get an error saying:
    We could not complete your iTunes store request. There is not enough memory available.
    There is an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
    Obviously I have enough memory and space on my computer, but not sure if this is an error with the store itself or with my computer some how. I can download new apps with out a problem, purchase anything and download anything through iTunes, even after that error pops up, but I just cant update any apps. I can update them on my phone, and if I sync my phone with iTunes, and then try updating apps that might not be on my phone when I updated them, it will work then. Not sure what would cause this, and its not that big of a deal, just an annoyance and something I find a bit odd.
    Thanks for any info and advice.

    What part of no wifi did you not understand?
    I'm well aware that I can update through the app store, if you had read the original question properly you would see that.

  • Unknown error 400 when updating apps through iTunes.

    I have been getting an error message 400 when trying to update apps from the app store on my macbook. I can only update them from my iphone. I am able to purchase and download the original apps as well as music and movies. Are there any fixes for this issue? I do not have this problem on my imac.
    Thanks

    I had the same problem and after a full day on the phone with Apple, there was no solution. Then, I tripped over it! The issue was with a third party program that was supposed to be allowing all traffic, but wasn't. The program is NetBarrier and once it was removed and my MacBook Pro was rebooted, all was great. The iMac wasn't affected (in my case) because I never installed that program on the iMac.
    I blogged it here: http://www.wickedblog.com/2010/03/23/itunes-wont-update-apps-itunes-error-400/. I hope this helps others avoid hours of searching.

  • I cannot get apps  to appear in my library menu so i can update them through iTunes. Happened since update to 11.0.2.Have tried all the suggested fixes such as making  the sidebar appear etc New update is 'nasty'

    As stated no matter how hard i try i CANNOT get apps to appear in my sidebar library menu so i can update them through itunes.Has only happened since last update of itunes .Really wish i hadn't updated as i have never had an issue b4.Spent most of day on fone to apple yesterday as the update created an issue that meant i could not sync at all.Anyway thanks to 'james' in arizona we sorted the first piece of trouble the update created .(sortof).
    Not sure why it has to be messed with.Well i spose it is progress!!!
    I've looked at lots of posts re this and tried all the suggestions but just cannot get the magic 'apps' category to appear in my sidebar in itunes???
    One suggestion was that the apps if clicked on would have an 'update ' button but all i can do is delete them
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
    (running osx 10.7.5 on MBP -slightly tricky cos i also run windows in a 'bootcamped' partition.Mind u itunes etc is in mac partition and has been working fine for the last 10 years!!!!!!!!!)

    I'm going to assume that you use only one Apple ID so the two things that I can think of are to quite all processes and restart all devices and then try to sync those apps again. Quit iTunes, restart your computer and the iPad and then try to sync the apps again.
    The other thing would be to try to reset your iTunes account by signing in and out of the account on the iPad. Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and then sign in to your account and try again.

    I have an iphone 3GS, I went to back it up / update apps through my itunes. I did this, but a certain app I download wouldn't work on my phone as "my iphone software needed updating". So I did, now I can't restore & my phone shows itunes logo with plug?

    Happy to have been of help. Hope all goes smoothly.
    BTW, for the sake of others who may help you here, it's usually most polite if you mark the post that answered your question as being the one that "solves" it, not your own post. That's how people get points here, if a questioner marks their post as either "helpful" or "solving". It's not an issue for me, but for those just starting out in the forums it may be important to them. See:

    How to update the app through iTune if its size is too big?

    If your actually wanting to update your iPhone to IOS  6 and you don't have enough memory available, you still need to the action Chrisfromgastonia recommended.  You will find that Movies and TV Shows being moved to your itunes will free up the largest amount of space.  If IOS 6 is your objective, you may be able to re-download the Movies / Videos after the update.

  • Will not update apps through app store

    My Ipad can not update apps through app store?

    Hi Young Steve,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first thing I would suggest is to sign out of your iTunes & App Store account, quit all of your open apps and restart the iPad:
    Sign out of your iTunes & App Store account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
    Tap your Apple ID.
    Tap Sign Out.
    Close all open apps on the iPad
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Restart and/or Reset the iPad
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Before you sign back into the iTunes store, access a popular website on your iPad to confirm you are not having any issues with your Wi-Fi connection.  Follow these steps if you are having issues connectiong to the internet:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords.
    If you are not having any issues connecting to the internet, sign back in to your iTunes Store Account and check to see if you have any incomplete downloads:

    If you still are unable to connect to the iTunes Store, follow these troubleshooting steps:

    If there are apps that need to be updated, try updating one app at a time instead of all of them at once. If there is an issue with a particular app, you can delete it and redownload it.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Update apps in iTunes

    May I please have someones advice. When I go to update apps in itunes i'm asked to sign into my apple account. The email adress for account appears and it correct. Next to it is a password box. I type in the correct password however it keeps rejecting it. I know its correct because i've signed into the account through in  Apple web site but that doesn't seem to register in iTunes.
    Any suggestions on how best to confirm updating apps in Itunes. Thanks.

    I've been getting this error as well since updating to iTunes 9.0.3. I have 2 iTunes accounts through which I've purchased/downloaded apps and this appears to be the cause of that error when there are downloads available for both accounts at the same time (I don't have this problem when there are updates available for only the account under which I'm currently logged in to the iTunes store). I've gotten around it by downloading the updates individually that I know were purchased under the account under which I'm currently logged in. Then, I sign out of that account and log in with my other account and download the other updates.
    It's a pain to do but it works. I'm pretty sure this is a bug in 9.0.3.

  • HT1491 How do you update apps on itunes

    How do you update your apps through itunes when your phone is plugged into your computer?

    Go to the Apps section of iTunes - the one in the Library section of iTunes, not your iPhone:
    then click the Check for Updates button in the lower-right corner of the iTunes window. Once you have the updates, sync them to your iPhone.
    Regards.

  • Updated apps on iTunes not shown as updated on iPhone

    hi! I just installed iTunes on my laptop and I tried updating my apps through iTunes. After updating, I checked my iPhone and I don't think my apps were updated on my iPhone because the same apps were shown in the "updates" section of the App store on my iPhone as still available for update. I just read another question and I tried syncing my iPhone now but it still doesn't show that the apps are updated on iPhone. Thank you for answering in advance!

    OK then. The apps are there. It's just that the iPhone cannot display more pages of apps than the ridiculous number that they started with iOS 1.
    I thought that may be Apple with all our billions of dollars might have corrected that (and the "show in chaos after restore is better to keep the user alive" thing).
    Apparently not.

    You have a 1st generation iPod Touch. It can not be upgraded beyond iOS 3.1.3, it is available at the link below.

    When trying to update  Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps?   Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?
