Updating apps - on ipod or on pc?

I got a alert on my ipod touch. An update was available for iBird South. I thought the update was taking too long, so I went to iTunes and clicked update. Should I be updating both places? Usually I just click update on my ipod.

There isn't any harm updating both places. When you sync your iPod to iTunes it updates both places anyway.

  • TS1702 Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1. I did a factory reset. Now I can't get most of my apps back because I can't download version 5.0. I paid for some of these apps.

    Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1.  I did a factory reset and now I can't get most of my apps back & can't download version 5.0 which I need to get back some of my apps. I paid for some of these. I've tried my backup and it didn't put them back on.

    If your iPod Touch is too old for iOS 5 or later... there is not much you can do.
    When/if you get a later model iDevice you will be able to Download Past Purchases using the Original ID that made those Purchases. (providing they are still supported by the Developer)

  • Can't update apps to iPod using iTunes

    I often use iTunes on my computer to download and update apps on my iPod Touch 4th Generation running iOS 6.1.3 (since I don't have much wifi access).  Once I update the apps on iTunes, I plug in my iPod and click on the little "update" buttons.  Then I click apply, and the sync starts.  After a few seconds, the buttons that now say "will update" change back to "update."  After the sync ends, the apps are not updated, though any new apps will install.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Hey, I'm getting the same message! Now I have to click 'ok' en start the sync everytime the error shows. It is so infuriating. The alternative is a firewire cable, but that one is a problem maker too these days; it won't mount my iPod unless I reset it. It's a catch 22. I NEVER had a problem with my G4 black/white iPod...d*mn I miss it!

  • Updating apps on iPod that has multiple Apple ID

    I have 2 IPads, 2 IPhones and 3 iPods . I am unable to update apps on 1 iPad and 2 Ipods. I hit update - appears to begin install then stops and update box reappears . If I have used more than one ID on a device I assume the ID the app was purchased with would be the one required to update. I am at a total loss . Spent 2 hours on phone with Apple support and only managed to get 1 app updated on one of the iPods. This is driving me crazy and I have invested so much time. I remember when these were the simplest devices to manage. Any suggestions.

    Update Apps
    - Go to settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign into your account.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • I cannot update apps on ipod. Help please.

    So before, i already posted a question about this and i just figured out that it is my internet conection that has the problem, not the ipod.
    It seems that my internet connection or router settings has a problem connecting to my ipod or i don't know... Please help.
    Usually, when there is an app update, a number pops up beside the app store icon, right?
    And when you open the app store:
    WHEN THERE IS AN APP UPDATE - it displays all the apps that needs to be updated
    WHEN THERE'S NONE  - it displays, ALL APPS ARE UP TO DATE.
    My problem is...
    When i connect to the internet at school, it shows the updates or the all apps are up to date when i go to the app store updates tab.
    recently, i leave the update counter (the one beside the app store icon) until i get home so i can be sure there are apps that needs to be updated.
    When i'm home and connect to the internet. Open the app store >updates tab:
    WHEN THERE IS AN APP UPDATE - it keeps on loading.
    WHEN THERE'S NONE  - it keeps on loading.
    And when there's an update counter and i connect to the app store at home, it disappears.
    Please help.. i cannot update my apps on my ipod. There isn't any problem with my device. I just restored it and i started again from scratch. No pictures, music, just apps.
    HELP PLEASE. THANK YOU.

    Please help.. Thank you.

  • Error mesasge when updating apps on ipod touch

    Help me, I'm trying to update my apps on my ipod touch directly from the ipod as I always do. .When I click the update button it says "cannot connect to itunes store". So I plugged it into my computer and I notice there isn't a library of apps for me to click on and see if there are any updates. What do I do?

    I am having the same issue with my iPhone 4.  I can broswe and buy apps on the iPhone, yet I get "Cannot connect to iTunes store" on the update page.  What is also strange is that I can't update on my PC either.  Same deal...I can buy apps but the update button doesn't do anything (not even an error message).  This happens at home and at work on WiFi and also on 3G on my phone.

  • Error trying to update apps on Ipod touch.

    I have internet access and can even open itunes store and make purchases.  But my ipod touch indicates there are updates for my apps.  When I try to update the apps I receive an error message "cannot connect to itunes store".  I went back to itunes and purchased a song to make sure it was working properly.
    What do I need to do to fix this?  Everything else including movies on internet work fine.

  • Can't Install or update apps on iPod Touch 5g

    Hi, i am having a very serious problem with my iPod. it is an iPod Touch 5th Generation, 32GB, blue. It is currently running iOS 8.2. The problem is, I can't install or update any apps. It just sits on the home screen grayed out and saying "Waiting...". It won't do anything else. I have already tried hard restarting it, along with signing out and back into the App Store. I have also tried deleting the apps and reinstalling, but it does the same thing.

    Most likely, the downloads did not occur. Go to iTunes > Store menu > Check for Available Downloads (may also be "Check for Purchases").

  • Won't sign with apple id to updates apps via ipod touch 4th gen

    When click on update tab in app store it says
    "you are not signed in. To view purchases, you must sign in with your apple id"
    Cancel.   Sign in
    Then comes up with sign in place. After entering password, it returns to same message.
    This is a brand new ipod. It is Replacement of one with broken screen. But the serial # is the same.
    Uploaded info from previous ipod to this one using same itunes id and password on comp.
    Any suggestions?

    I doubt the SN is the same since they are unique to the hardware but that should not have any effect.
    Have you tried going to Settings>Store and sign out of the exisiting accont and then sign back in.
    Also try resetting the iPod, noting will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Why in the world can I not update apps in iPod tough FOUTH gen on iOS 6, as it is not compatible with iOS 7...very very aggravating

    Having some issues with iPod after the new iOS 7 update that is unavailable for the 4th gen iPod touch. This new iOS has only been out for a day and is appearing to already be creating issues on older devices.

    I am having issues too. Sometimes it shows I have 8 updates in the app store. *On Tuesday, I had alert buttons for 3 apps.* Then when I tried to install, it fiddled and hung. Next time I accessed it would show no updates available. At times it shows a list with every app I have ever downloaded (including ones I deleted ages ago) Does this mean no further updates for any app will be available on 4th generation iPod Touch machines? When I log into iTunes (running version 10.7.0.21) it says no updates available. Our family has a 3rd gen and two 4th gen iPod Touches. I'm afraid to update iTunes itself because it seems like every other one makes the older models hard to recognize for sync/backup functions.
    I apologize if this should have been a new thread on its own.

  • Updating apps on iPod touch

    When I go to update my apps on my ipod touch my old user name that I had comes up and it won't let me put in my new user name and password. I have tried restarting my ipod and it doesn't work, I tried hooking it up to my computer and syncing my ipod and that didn't work. I just don't know what else I could do.

    Please see if the instructions shown [HERE|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3575] by Apple help you create either a new account or edit the present one.
