  • Why can't I downloaded or update apps anymore?

    Ever since March 17th, 2012, I have not been able to update or download apps. I've already lost 4 apps now!
    Pandora, Billminder, Movies by Flixster and Dental Expert refused to update. I couldn't use them because they were "Waiting". I deleted them to try and download them. They won't download, either. I attempted another app and it won't download - it just says "Waiting"!
    I am very angry at Apple now. I shouldn't have to buy a new iPod just so I can continue using these apps.
    There is NOTHING wrong with my account, I've checked.
    I have an iPod Touch 3 with iOS 5.1.
    I go to iCloud in the App Store and I won't let me download ANYTHING!

    No fix yet. I'm testing another app for the time it takes to download. I started at 11:54 am PDT and it's currently 1:03 pm PDT and the app still shows "Waiting". I assumed 6 hours for Billminder because I had been away for about that time and when I got home it was downloaded.
    Now, has anyone tested this on the actual computer? I don't have one anymore so I just use my iPod. I've got WiFi at home so it's no big deal to wait overnight while I sleep but this is ridiculous and I wonder if borrowing my friend's laptop that I've authorized with my account (used to upgrade to iOS 5.1) would be faster.

  • Why can't I download or update apps?

    My IPhone 4 will not let me download any new apps or update my current ones. It just says that the apps could not be downloaded at this time. It's been saying that for 3 days now. What's wrong with my phone? I have plenty of memory left.

    I know it sounds weird, but often times syncing with iTunes fixes a stuck iPhone.
    Update your computer to the latest supported version of iTunes
    Connect your iPhone via USB cable and initiate a sync
    (This will back up all your iTunes & App purchases, contacts, calendar, etc to your computer)
    If that doesn't fix it (and it should), try this:
    Right click your iPhone as it appeard in the left column of iTunes
    Select "Backup"
    After that completes, initiate a full restore of your iPhone
    After restoring, iTunes will ask you if you want to set up your phone as a new device or restore from backup
    Select restore from backup
    (Everything should reappear on your iPhone as it was before)

  • Why can't I download or update apps running IOS 8.1.1

    help

    had the same problem yesterday. However all is well today.
    followed cali71aw advice but include making sure all apps where closed.
    double press on the home button and swiped to close any pages on the various apps.
    Reset set the iPad,  home button / power button pressed together until the Apple appeared
    Went to purchased download the update, one at the time. After each one checking that the blue dot appears next to the app on the home page.
    IF the blue dot is is next to the app which indicates a Sucessful download and the app is still showing update I deleted the app and reinstalled it.
    if the download was not succesful I moved to the next app and repeated the process.
    in my case I believe two apps were in limbo stopping a Sucessful download process. Once cleared the problem was cleared up
    Good luck.  Some solutions work for others but sadly not all.........all very strange.

  • HT201263 My iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5 yet most apps run on iOS 7. Why can't I make the update on my iPad 1? Is this so I buy another iPad 2+? Now why would I want to buy something that will be obsolete in a few years?

    My iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5 yet most apps run on iOS 7. Why can't I make the update on my iPad 1? Is this so I buy another iPad 2+? Now why would I want to buy something that will be obsolete in a few years?  I really want to purchase an Live TV plan yet I need iOS 7 to run most TV apps.
    Can Apple tell me why my iPad 1 is obsolete?
    g

    It's not obsolete as much as the first gen simply lacks the power to run the newer operating systems. IT doesn't have enough RAM. If someone managed to hack it to get iOS 6 or 7 on there they'd just have a slow, boggy and unresponsive device. (think putting windows 7 on an old laptop.
    Unfortunately software moves faster than hardware. Every thing goes obsolete. I've had my ipad 2 for two and a half years now and I know it only has so much longer left to it too. Just the 'joys' of advancing technology.

  • Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own.  When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on.  No more stops.

  • Why can't I open iTunes or apps on ipad1? And why do apple not support the latest update for ipad1 when it's less than 2 years old. I am sick of huge corporations ripping off joe public!

    Why can't I open iTunes or apps on ipad1? And why do apple not support the latest update for ipad1 when it's less than 2 years old. I am sick of huge corporations ripping off joe public!

    And the processor limitations.
    iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
    iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
    iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X
    Similarily, the iPad 2 did not get Siri and some other features in iOS 6.

  • Why can I not have the MAC app store application with my software update?

    Why can I not have the MAC app store application with my software update?

    You need to be running v10.6 Snow Leopard.

    You can upgrade to Snow Leopard for $29.00 if your Mac meets the minimum requirements.

  • Why can't I access the updated that are pending on my phone?

    Why can't I access the updated that are pending on my phone? I've turned the phone off and also closed all the apps. But still won't allow me to access the updates. Just a blank screen.

    Another post is reporting that applying the 6.1 update fixes their issue. I'll have to wait until I am back on WiFi to try that.

  • Why can't I download my updates...it doesn't accept my password...changed it several times no luck

    Why can't I download my updates....it says my password is wrong...changed it several times with still no luck. What's wrong? When I login to my apple ID it works..whist am I doing wrong?

    Have you tried logging out of your account by tapping on it in Settings > Store and then logging back in ?
    If that doesn't work then you could try closing the App Store app completely and seeing if you can download updates when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Another option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why can't i install a free app?

    Why can't I install a free app?  I click on free and then it tells me that I need to verify my payment option when the app is free.  What am I doing wrong?

    If you set up an Apple ID with credit card details then you need to enter valid credit card information and then when you download a free app it does what you are experiencing.  You will not be charged.  Sometimes when you update credit card information in you Apple ID, Apple raises a $1 charge to check to see if the card works and then cancels the charge.  IF you want to set up an ID without a ccredit card then you do so like this

  • Why can't I pin bookmark as apps ?

    I can see the new feature is amazing - pin tab as apps but unfortunately one of the key thing i love about firefox is the ability to clear history and everything when i exit firefox. If I select this, then the pinned apps disappear according to forum posts and my own experience (using firefox 4 now).
    But seeing as my bookmarks don't disappear when i exit firefox, why can't I pin bookmarks as apps then? It would be similar in function only difference would be it would not save my session/passwords etc which is what I want.
    Any idea or is this feature already available?

    This used to work before I updated to Firefox 9.1.0. This is so aggravating!!
    I still have 4 pinned websites from before the update but now I cannot Pin anymore!!
    I can remove them, I just can't add more!!!!!!!!!
    Why do developers ALWAYS have to go an f*** with things that work just fine???

  • HT1918 Why can I not download a free app??? It says I have a billing problem.. Not true

    Why can I not download a free app? It says I have a billing problem but that's not true.

    Hi friend,
    Probably in the past you tap for a update inside the application, that made you have a pending payment in your Apple account. Go to www.apple.com and check about pending payments. If you have, wait for around 30 days (starting to count from the day you asked for the paid update) then it will be canceled automaticaly.
    Hope it helps
