Cannot download/update Apps from iPhone 4. Able to log in to iTunes Store

Here is the skinny,
I cannot download apps or update from my iPhone. It gives me a warning "Cannot download this app. Please use the Itunes Store from the computer." I am able to connect to iTunes on the iPhone, but just cannot download anything. From my computer (Pc/Mac) I can download apps, but it's annoying that I have to sync to update my apps.
This happens when I am on both wifi/3G. I've reseted my phone's network setting.
I've been searching around and I do not have shipwreck or sylvian game thing.
Thank you

I have the same problem too, I can't download updates on my iPhone or on iTunes, I can't sign in to my Apple account after I logged out, I tried changing my Password but nothing has changed. When I turn off my iPhone and try to long on to my account in the App Store, it says "Cannot Access (acc email). Review your account information in Settings."
What's going on? I still can't access my Apple account on iTunes.

Cannot download updates app's, error 4

I cannot download updates in app store. I get the message that there is an error (4). iPhoto and iMove

Did you check your security software settings?
Error 3000-3999: (3002, 3004, 3013, 3014, 3164, 3194, and so on) Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the gs.apple.com server on ports 80 or 443. This may be because out-of-date or incorrectly configured security or firewall software is interfering, an entry in your hosts file redirecting requests to gs.apple.com, or due to your Internet proxy settings. If you are using a proxy, try without using one or with a known-good network. If that does not resolve the issue, follow iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.

When I download an app, it appears Invalid Address but I putted everything to buy it? What should I do?, When I download an app, it appears Invalid Address but I putted everything to buy it? What should I do?

Hi, I want to download shazam so I hit FREE and then download. When it goes to homescreen It appears "Invalid Address"!!!! What should I do!?!?!?!?

The GB size of the download file is the compressed size (like .zip or .dmg). When the file is installed/uncompressed it can be 2-3 times larger.

How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Cannot view any Apple ID in settings, cannot download/update apps

If anyone could help me with this problem I will be eternally grateful.
I have now had my iPhone replaced on 3 seperate occasions since the beginning of January because of various faults, the shop have said they will refuse another replacement so I really need to find out what is causing some of this stuff.
Basically, originally, after a few weeks of happily using my iPhone 4 in a really standard way (no jailbreaking etc. just a few average apps) eventually when I tried to download a new app or update an app I already had, a message would come up saying 'Do you agree to the new terms and conditions' ... I press agree, then an error message appears and states that I have to enable cookies in order to continue. My cookies are already enabled, I have cleared them, restored my iPhone, done everything. Nothing changes that message, every time I have to agree to the terms and conditions and then it tells me to enable my cookies.
This must be in someway related to my other problem. In Settings > Store > View Apple ID. A loading screen appears, then after a while it says enter account info. I do this, then a loading screen appears... then it asks me to enter account info... This happens with any Apple ID (even the guy in the shop tried to use his) It just refuses to show anyone's ID.
So I picked up a new iPhone today (for a seperate reason, the back was wobbly) and I've taken it home and plugged it into iTunes. In order to update the software I had to start it up as a new iPhone. While it was in this new state I checked my Apple ID - everything fine. Then I restored it to the backup I made earlier today, now my Apple ID doesn't work. I am currently in the process of restoring it to an older backup (from about a month ago)
I am fairly certain this will fix the problem of viewing the Apple ID, but this isn't really satisfactory as I have now lost all my photos/contacts/notes/calendar/voice memos/apps/etc...
Does anyone have any idea how I can just avoid this Apple ID / AppStore cookies problem??!
*Sorry for this essay, here are the cliffs:*
-After a while my first iPhone stopped allowing me to download new apps/update them
-A message would appear telling me to enable cookies every time I tried to do anything
-Then I noticed that in Settings > Store > View Apple ID - It wouldn't allow me (or anyone) to view their Apple ID
-The shop replaces my iPhone due to this
-Still having the same problem, I just want to get rid of the problem rather than backing up to a really old backup of my phone
If anyone has any idea I would be so grateful

I suggest reading the manual, but for now:
Backing Up iPhone
iTunes creates backups of settings, downloaded apps and data, and other information on iPhone. You can use a backup to restore these items to your iPhone after a software restore or to transfer the information to another iPhone. See “Updating and Restoring iPhone Software” on page 252.
Backing up iPhone or restoring from a backup isn’t the same as syncing content and other items (such as music, podcasts, ringtones, photos, videos, and apps that you download via iTunes) with your iTunes library. Backups include settings, downloaded apps and data, and other information on iPhone. After you restore iPhone, you need to sync again to get your music, videos, photos, apps, and other content back on iPhone. See “Restoring from a Backup” on page 253.
Apps downloaded from the App Store are backed up the next time you sync with iTunes. Afterwards, only app data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.
Creating a Backup
iTunes creates a backup of iPhone when you: Â Sync with iTunes
By default, iTunes syncs iPhone each time you connect iPhone to your computer. See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 56. iTunes won’t automatically back up an iPhone that isn’t configured to sync with that computer. You can also sync manually by clicking Sync in iTunes. Note that iTunes creates a backup only once each time iPhone is connected to your computer, before the first sync that occurs. If you sync again, iTunes doesn’t create another backup.
Â Update iPhone iTunes backs up iPhone before updating iPhone, even if it isn’t configured to sync
with iTunes on that computer. Â Restore iPhone (if you choose to back up)
iTunes asks if you want to back up iPhone before restoring it.
For more information about backups, including the settings and information stored in a backup, go to support.apple.com/kb/HT1766.
=============
With the phone connected click on the Info tab. You will be able to selet a desktop app to sync calendar and contacts. On a Mac you will normally choose iCal for the calendar and Address Book for contacts. Whenever you sync any changes on either the iPhone or Contacts will be copied to the other platform.

My iPod touch 2nd generation forced a software update to apply to my ipod via itunes. what effect did this update have on my ipod software, as i still cannot download some apps?
I would appreciate your support to help me figure out if this problem is solvable.
The error comes about whilst trying to download certain apps from the app store, including CSR Racing which when i tap on install a message box pops up saying "This App Is Incompatible With This iPod touch", another time for a different app it came up with a message saying "This app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability.
Main questions:
What was achieved from the latest forces iPod touch 2g update (17/07/2012)?
solvable problem(s)?
Will i need to buy a more recent model of iPod touch if this isnt fixable?
ps. My iPod has lasted me 3 years so far so i am not suprised, still in good nick!
thanks, Sim x

i saw something on itunes just a moment ago saying iPod 1g can download 3.1 update for £2.99, will this help with the compatability of the csr racing app at all with that individual problem? |http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052] (html for this)
i didnt think graphics could change via software updates

Iphone is locked but I can't restore because "find my iphone" is on. I'm prompted to turn it off in settings but, obviously, I can't because I'm locked out due to too many incorrect passcode attempts. What should I do? PS: I downloaded IOS7 today. My passcode was never enabled! But after I installed the new software it automatically turned it on. I hadn't used it in so long, I couldn't remember my last passcode, hence the lockout.

Reset the password and that will take care of activating your iPhone.

I cannot download an app from the app store, it keeps loading until it says "You have already purchased this app so it will be downloaded no at no additional charge", and then it prompt for password and I input it after which nothing happens.

I know my icloud has record of my installing this app before, but that was the first install that was failed during that time some other apps also keeps loading without respond whey they updated itself, and this app didn't install before I restart the device. But I don't see this app on my device after I restarted the device so it should have been installed on my device. It seems icloud has created some kind of dead loop that makes it not able to get the correct status about this app on my device.
I have no problem install this app on my other device (iPad) with the same account, but just fail on my iPhone. And it just fine installing other apps...... What happened !!?? @@
Please help !!!

Someone help! I dont know how to do this and please put the words into an easy way to understand because im young...

My iPhone 4s cannot download from app store

For a couple days now my iPhone 4s cannot download anything from the app store. I cannot download new apps or updates. It does not give me an error message or anything. It just shows the icon on my iPhone screen and it says waiting right underneath it; I've let it go on for a day and it never resolved anything. It was working fine before and now it doesn't. I have not changed any settings and I know my account is fine because my wife's iPhone is also setup to use my iCloud account and it works without problems. I donnot want to reset my iPhone as it is currently set up just the way I need it; both peronal and work stuff. It would be a pain in the rear if I had to reset everything. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Update to my post.
I called customer Apple support and now my phone works without a problem.
Here's what I had to do:
Try resetting network connections. If that does not work go to next step below.
Connect your iPhone to your computer
Open iTunes (probably opens automatically)Back up your iPhone to your computer
Restore iPhone to factory settings (this is what I did. you can skip this step if you're feeling lucky and go straight to the next step). Try to download from app store, if it works, your set; go to next step.Try right clicking on your iPhone an the left menu (iTunes) if you don't see the right options on your screen
Restore iPhone from previous file (iTunes)
My iPhone did not restore my downloaded apps, no worries, just go to bought apps on the app store/iTunes and download apps into iTunes. After that, just sync your iPhone to iTunes and your apps should be there.
I hope that helps, that's what I had to do. I was able to reset my iPhone and all my settings to the way it was before restoring. I did not loose anything but it took about 2 hours.

Cannot download updates in SCCM after SP1 Updrade

Hi all,
I have upgraded my SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1 last week and since then I cannot download updates.
It gives the error message "Error: Failed to download content id 16779439. Error: Access is denied
I have tried reinstalling WSUS onto the server which seems to be working fine, but I still cannot download the updates in SCCM.
I am a full administrator of SCCM and a domain admin on the Server itself.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Richard

Im not sure what permissions I should be looking for, Everyone has read access to the foler, there is a Network Service account with full access, and other than that WSUS Administrators and Administrators groups have full access also.
