Why are my apps not downloading?

Why are my apps not downloading? They just sit there waiting and I keep getting an error saying that my purchases cannot be downloaded at this time and to try again later. I have tried logging out and in, and rebooting but neither has worked

Same problem here.  Not able to update any apps or to download new purchased music.  Doesn't work on iPad, iPhone, or iTunes.  Tried with 3G download rather than wifi on the phone and iPad.  It still hasn't worked.  I changed me credit card, but without success.
The store is currently broken for some users, maybe all.

  • Why are my apps not downloading on my iphone?

    The apps on my iphone are not downloading.  If I connect it to the computer, the apps download via iTunes.  I have no problems downloading apps from my iPad.  Does anyone know why this might be happening?

    Thank you for the information.  I did not mention that I am using the same account on all my devises and everything worked properly for over 1 year, then the iphone stoped downloading apps.

  • Why are my Apps not downloading since update on iPad Air?

    I have the Air, my first iPad. It froze after an update just a week or so after getting it so after checking these discussions I had to reset through iTunes but ever since then I can't download any apps - they just sit with the circle and say 'waiting'. Any ideas?

    No, once a user has been created, you can't run Setup Assistant  (without erasing and reinstalling).
    What do you recommend for fixing this?
    Here's what's happened: 
    When you first start up a Mac and create the first user account, OSX assigns it UID (User ID) #501.  The next one gets #502, etc.  Those UIDs (not the user name) are what control permission to files.
    You can see those numbers via System Prefs > Users & Groups;  click the padlock and enter your Admin password, then select an account and right-click it, and select Advanced Options.  Do not change anything on that window.
    So . . . assume your old iMac had a user 501 with the data you want; it's identified that way on the backups.
    When the Apple Store started up your new Mac, and created their account, it became #501.
    When you used Migration Assistant to transfer the 501 account from the iMac's backups, OSX copied everything there "as is" except it had to change the 501 to 502. 
    The new 502 account has all the right permissions to things now in it's home folder, but the backups belong to user 501.
    Have you added much to the Mac since you did the migration?  Have you done any new backups?  If not, while it's a bit of a hassle, one fix would be to create yet another user account temporarily.  Make it an Admin account.  Log on to it and delete all the other accounts.  Then migrate the accounts from your backups; this time there won't be a conflict, so OSX won't have to change the UUID(s).
    But if you have done new backups, this won't work, since Migration Assistant automatically uses the most recent backup.  There's a way around that, but it's a bit (or more) tedious.
    Clear as mud?

  • TS1702 Why are my apps not updating

    Why are my updates not working for my apps.

    Unless you're using iTunes on your computer to update, you should update only one app at a time.  If you have a bunch of apps in "Waiting" state, click all them to get them to "Paused".  Then, one at a time, click one to get it to Downloading, then Installing, and finally Open.  Then repeat on the next app, etc.

  • Why Are My Apps Not Syncing

    I just updated my iPad software, synced iTunes, and the preview shows the apps on my iPad, but when the sync is complete, I'm not seeing the apps on the iPad. 
    Secondarily, from iTunes, I can't click "sync apps" when I have the iPad plugged into the computer.  So I'm not able to add new check marks next to apps I might want to sync.
    Any thoughts?

    Have you tried swiping from screen to screen on the iPad to see if the apps appear anywhere at all. Did you try the spotlight feature on the iPad to see if they are there somewhere?
    Do you have Restrictions enabled on your iPad? If so, that may be why the Sync Apps option will not work.

  • Why are some apps not shown as installed?

    Are apps that were purchased prior to App Store, in my case iWork apps, not going to show as installed on the MAS? Is it only apps installed from MAS that will appear as installed?

  • Why are my apps being downloaded in German

    Why do my apps download in German when I want them in English - can I change the setting ?

    Just make sure the Apps you want on the iPod touch have a checkmark next to them. If they don't just click the check box to add one.

  • Why are certain apps not restoring to iPad after restore from backup. Are these apps gone and more importantly the data if they are not on my iTunes ?? Please say I can get them back

    Recently restored iPad 2 to factory settings. Prior to this did a back up unfortunately when restoring my back up certain apps did not restore and are not on my iTunes. I really needed the app data I know I can re-download the apps but the data was all my work and it's not on my back up files help!!!!

    just another great aspect of the ipad oh well i guees ill start from scratch...

  • Why are the apps I download from itunes .ipa files?

    I understand that .ipa files are for jailbroken idevices, but when i download apps (all free so far), and i go to (eindows explorer) my music\itunes\itunes media\mobile apps, all the files are .ipa files.
    Not me or anyone else in my family have had anything to do with jailbreaking or cydia. Is it the fact that they're all free apps?
    thx

    That's not correct. All Apps are .ipa files.
    An App for a jailbroken device may well be in .ipa format, but that's not relevant to you if you haven't jailbroken your device.
    Someone writes an App for Apple iDevices. By definition, it's an .ipa file.
    The App is submitted to Apple who effectively vet it for behaviour unacceptable to Apple.
    If the App passes Apple's vetting, it gets into the Store and you can purchase it, either for a cost or for free
    If the App is not passed by Apple - or not even submitted to Apple because the author knows it will not be accepted, it isn't in the Store.
    Jailbreaking allows people to install Apps that Apple have not accepted into the Store. It doesn't seem to dawn on many people that the reason Apple may not have accepted an App may be because it will harm the iPod, make the iPod unreliable or compromise their security.
    You have no need to worry. My additional comments about jailbreaking are to serve as a warning to anyone else who reads your thread in order to deter them from jailbreaking. Further reading can be found here;

  • Why do my apps not download/update on ios7/iPhone 4?

    My apps. will not install or update on my iPhone 4 after downloading ios7.
    This loading symbols appears and will stop as soon as I quite the app store. Then absolutely nothing happens. If I don't quit the app store, this loading symbol stays, yet nothing appears to happen.
    I tried to update them by plugging my phone in and using my Macbook Pro/iTunes but I can't even work this out.
    EDIT: I should add, I'm using iTunes 11.1

  • Why are my apps not loading on my ipod touch?

    Both my kids have ipod touch.  Over the past few days they have not been to access their apps via wifi.  The social networking apps like: Twitter and Instagram.  In addition, Google won't load.  They are able to use messaging apps like Kik and Skype.  I have an iphone and mine is working fine.  Their devises are saying the software is up-to-date.

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    You will have to re enter the Wi-Fi password.
    If that doesn't help, try here >  iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    Even though your iPhone can access the internet, you could also try restarting the router.

  • Why are the apps i download larger in size than they are supposed to be

    When i download an app off the app store, the app is larger in size than it is supposed to be on my pc and on my ipod.
    For example i might download an app that says its 100mb on the app store but when it installs on my ipod or pc it will take up about 200mb.
    This problem started happening when i updated Real Racing 2 from my ipod over wifi. It is like when i download something from my account it installs the app but doesnt delete the download.
    Any ideas on how to fix this problem or what this problem is will be very helpful.
