When trying to update and app, I get an error message

When I try to install it, a message appears saying there is a problem with a family members previous purchase
Not sure what this means?
Thanks for any input!

A message about a problem with a previous purchase usually means that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for the last purchase - until you pay what is owed you won't be able to download anything else from the store, including app updates and redownloading past purchases.
If you log into your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes and go to the payment details screen, is there any indication that you owe iTunes money or any error messages about your payment method ? If there is then try re-entering the payment method's details, or try entering a different card's details.

  • HT1414 When trying to update my apps I get the message, "unknown error occurred" any ideas?

    When trying to update my apps I get the message, "unknown error occurred", any ideas how to fix this?

    I really thought signing out would do because that works frequently for the unknown error message. Try these two things.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to update the apps again.
    Or this ... The old stand by....
    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.

    I have found other threads with this problem. The problem is that you are using your iTunes account on another user at the same time you want to update software. Just close iTunes from that user. See > https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4577180?start=0&tstart=0

  • When trying to import music files I get a error message that says "importer reported a generic error" I'm using windows 7, DellPC, installed premiere elements 13 2 days ago. Also when previewing and editing video,screen looks great but when I transfer to

    When trying to import music files I get an error message Thea says "importer reported a generic error". Also when editing video, screen views look great but when I transfer to PC or flash drive video quality is very poor. Any suggestions?

    Premiere Elements 13 on Windows 7 (presumed 64 bit).....
    1. Music files and error message...are these music files from iTunes? If so, convert them to .wav in iTunes to convert them to wav version, and then import the .wav version into Premiere Elements 13 project using Premiere Elements 13 Expert workspace's Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from where you drag the wav version to the Soundtrack.
    The following are the instructions for the iTunes converting
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1550
    If any problems with the instructions, please let me know, and I will go through them with you.
    2. How you set up the project and the export settings that you select greatly influence your end product result.
    a. What are the properties of the source media?
    b. What project preset did you (manually) or the project (automatically) set to match the properties of the source media.
    (If you do not know, please tell us what you see for the readings of Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, Pixel Aspect Ratio - even
    if the fields look grayed out.)
    c. For your export...Publish+Share/Computer/and then what? And what preset? Did you use the default settings of the preset or did you
    customize the export settings of the preset under the preset's Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.
    Thanks.

    When trying to stream video I am getting this error message "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (st) isn't associated with any program." How do I fix this?

    Protocol error usually indicates that the very leftmost part of the URL is not recognized.
    So http://, ftp://, rtsp://, usually work.
    ableton:// would need to be added by some software somewhere...
    Can you get instructions from the vendor? Does these posts seem relevant:

  • When trying to install Mountain Lion I get an error message, Failed, recovery can't be created

    When trying to install Mountain Lion I get an error message, Failed, recovery can't be created

    My Mountain Lion install failed for the following reason:
    OS X can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD, because a recovery system can't be created.
    The message went on:
    Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more.
    The page is about a different failure, but I'm assuming the reason for my failure is this one:
    The disk has a non-standard Boot Camp partition setup, in which further partitioning was performed after running Boot Camp Assistant, or the configuration that Boot Camp Assistant created was manually modified.
    The cure involves erasing the entire HD and starting from scratch, which in my case would involve backing up both the Mac and Windows sides, setting up Boot Camp again, reinstalling Windows XP and recovering everything from backups on both sides. I would rather not have Mountain Lion than go through all that, and I think it's unfair for Apple to expect me to.
    Because I don't recall doing anything off-piste when I set up Boot Camp in the first place (for a start, I'm not clever enough), I consider this episode an inadequacy in the Mountain Lion installer. As I won't be using the download, is it possible to get my money back?

  • When trying to send e-mail I get an error message:

    When trying to send e-mail I get an error message:Can´t send message.
    It was not accepted by the server because it (the server?) does not allow forwardin.

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • TS1368 When trying to update my apps I get a message, Your Apple ID has been disabled.

    I get a message when trying to update my apps on my I phone. "your apple ID has been disabled". What can I do to fix this?

    Depending on why it's been disabled, you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If your account then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of the account on the phone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it.

  • I have been creating a document in numbers on my iPhone and synced to iCloud. Now I cannot open it, and when trying to download via browser I get an error message. How can I recover this document?

    Dear all,
    I have created a document on my iPhone, and stored it on iCloud. I have updated the document both on my iPhone and on my iPad. Now, I cannot open the document on my iPhone anymore, even a reset of the phone did not help. Via iPad I also cannot open the file, and when I try to download it to my PC via icloud.com I get an error message.I suspect that the file has become corrupt as I have updated it on the iPhone while I did not have network connectivity.
    I have two questions:
    1.) Is it possible to recover an earlier version of the file?
    2.) What can I do to prevent this from happening again in the future?
    3.) Does the iPhone sync changes to iCloud in the background or does the application need to be active?
    Thank you,
    Niftan

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.
