Why are my apps saying cant update

Why after I  downloaded the new software on my iPad, can I no longer update my apps? What's going on?

Select iTunes > Store menu > Deauthorize Computer. Then select iTunes > Store menu > Authorize Computer. Then select iTunes > Store menu > Sign In and sign into your account. Assuming you're using the same iTunes account you used to purchase the apps, they should now sync to the iPhone.

  • Why are my apps failing to update on iPhone 5 after installing IOS8

    My iPhone 5 is failing to update apps.  I am using IOS 8 and suspect this may be the problem.  Wish I had never upgraded to IOS 8.  Has anyone got a way around this problem?

    The Apple shop sorted it for me by reinstalling IOS 8.  It was thought the IOS 8 download I did had a glitch.

  • Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a full GB more than what it should.

    Why are my apps taking up more space than what the appstore says they will? Like were talking a half a GB more than what it should.
    For example the app Modern Combat 4 says it should only be 1.58 GB on the appstore but when i go into settings>general>usage it says it takes up 2.0 GB.
    Ive tried deleting the apps and then reinstalling them but they still take up so much more space.
    This happens for multiple apps of mine. Some I have never even opened before.
    I have an ipod touch (4th Gen)(32GB).
    I link to a mac computer.
    I have IOS version 6.1.3
    I noticed this a long time ago but didnt need the space, Now i need the space!!
    Please help!!

    Because you see the file size of the compuressed file. The file gets expanded when installed and that takes up more space. Also, data is kept in the app.

  • Why are my app updates not transfering to my ipad when i sync with my desktop?

    Why are my app updates not transfering from my desktop when I sync?

    I have updated my apps on my desktop and then I am syncing my Ipad. I just transferred everything to a new desktop and now my update to my games, etc. Are not coming across to my Ipad like they used to. I am not receiving an error message. I can transfer my new purchases to my desktop, but it isn't going the other way.

  • Why are my apps taking a long time to update both on my phone and iPad?

    Why are my apps taking a long time to update both on my phone and iPad?

    Hi ariasm21,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the App Store on your iPhone seems unresponsive or app updates are not completing, try the steps below.
    First force close the apps using these steps:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    These steps come from this article:

    Next, restart your device:

    Try updating an app again. If the issues persist, you may want to troubleshoot your internet connection next:

  • TS1702 There are two apps in my update section that I did not install and I want them gone.  1 says it has mature content, what the heck is this?

    there are two apps in my update section that I did not install and do not want.  How do I get rid of them without?

    Web browser apps display the same warning - and as Rkedge pointed out - any app that accesses web content may show that warning.
    Atomic, Mercury, Google Chrome, iCab Mobile ... All web browsers and I think that they all display that same warning.

  • 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 no longer on my iPad?

    Why are my apps no longer on my iPad after downloading latest iTunes and installing?

    Nobody here can answer that question. We don't know what you did exactly step by step.They should not disappear when you update iTunes or the iPad iOS.
    If they are still in your iTunes library on your computer - sync them back to your iPad.
    If you did never transferred them from your iPad to iTunes, download them again in the App Store. Tap on the purchased tab and all of your apps should be in the resulting windows. Download them again. You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to buy them with originally, but they will be free downloads.

  • Cant get this app to go away in my app store cant update bc its no longer avabile helppp

    in my app store cant update bc its no longer avabile helppp

    i had the same issue, heres what i did and it resolved my problem...
    Make sure iTunes and app store both are closed...
    Open Finder > Navigate to the side panel, look for Macbook Pro or Air under devices tag (e.g. John's MacBook Pro)
    Then go to Macintosh HD > Applications > Right click ''iTunes'' and click Get Info
    Then scroll down to ''Sharing and permissions'' and make sure to make urself able to "read & write"
    Then right click "iTunes" and click "Move it to Trash" and empty your trash...
    Finally go to www.apple.com > Download new iTunes > Once installation finishes, open AppStore and navigate to "Updates"
    and viola..... the badge is gone!!!!
    You are welcome!!!

  • Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?

    Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?  I bought 4 apps, then had to reset my iPad, later when trying to download them back onto the iPad, they were not listed under by Purchased apps in my account in iTunes.  Thanks for any help!

    Plug in your iPhone to iTunes on your Computer, let it sync the games onto the Computer, then plug in your iPad and go to Apps in iTunes and select the apps then apply and it will download them to the iPad :)
    If you have trouble when in Apps in iTunes on your Computer, it will say iPhone and iPod touch Apps. Hope this helps!!

  • Why are most apps only for apple products?

    Why are most apps only for Apple products.???
    why aren't most of the apps developed for other systems?

    I am equally disappointed by the lack of Android support.
    Just a guess as to why there is so little support for Android ... I'd bet that Adobe is slow to release Android apps because Android is fragmented with a very broad range of versions out there.  Even if Android device owners want to upgrade to the latest version of Android, they usually can't get an upgrade -- this may be a problem with the device manufacturer (there are many of them), a mobile carrier or even Google.
    iOS devices only have 1 company involved in the update process: Apple.  Since iOS is a closed platform - controlled by 1 company who pushes identical updates to most devices - it is a lot easier to maintain a reliable app for iOS users.
    I don't want to switch to iOS devices, but I may have to until Adobe steps up its Android development.

  • Why does my Iphone says software update unavailable??

    Why does my Iphone says software update unavailable??

    I have a 5 and got the message that the "software update is not available at this time. Try again later". Everyone is jamming the server trying to update at the same time. I'll try later this evening. Scary about the problem people are having after the update. They are saying their phones need to be re-activated. My IPhone is my only phone. Good luck everyone!
