Why can't I download app updates or new podcasts

Hi,
I have an Iphone 4 with IOS 7.0.3 and I'm unable to download any updates for apps. Currently I have 3 updates available, BBC, Trivago and Facebook and when I go to update them the blue circle just keeps spinning around and never starts.
Along with that I'm not able to download podcasts, it just stays at the preparing to download stage and then just stops trying.
Can anyone give me some help with this?

Hey ELSheepO,
I would try out the following troubleshooting steps to see if that helps the issue at all:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • Why can't I download app update or music from iTunes? The download gets stuck.

    Hard to say with no information.

  • 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.

    Apple tend to provide regular updates with access to more content, they have added PBS and Yahoo in the last few days.
    Nobody here will have any information about future updates since the community is only made up of users like you or I. Anything else is mere speculation and speculation is not permitted here under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Any responses you may receive may well be removed and would be wholly unreliable in any case.
    If you believe that Apple's product may be enhanced in anyway you can leave feedback here.

    Why can't I download apps I have to pay for on to my new iPad Mini. I have had an Apple id for my iPhone for years and have downloaded app to it, no problems. When I try to download apps to my new iPad Mini, it tells me my billing info has to be confirmed. After confirming with same info that is already there it tells me to contact support, no help up to this point.

    Could the credit card be expired?
    Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
    In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.

    If you are searching within iTunes, all the Apps are for iDevices. To find Apps for the MacBook, you will need to search using the Mac App Store.

  • Why can't I download app in my iPad and iPhone today???

    I can't download any update or new app today. What is going on!!! Both my iPad and iPhone  with the same user ID.

    Nobody here could possibly know why you can't download apps today. I can tell you that there are no reported issues with any of Apple Services in the U.S. which you can see here.

    You will certainly have to provide some more information if you need help, like what exactly is happening?

  • Why can't I download IOS6 update. I have more than the required 2.5 GB of available storage on my Iphone4 .

    Why can't I download IOS6 updateon my  Iphone4. I have more than required 2.5GB storage available ?

    There is a box under the IOS 6 software update. The box says "download and Install" but I can't highlight the box to activate it. Under that there is a sentence that says "update requires at least 2.5 GB of available storage. I have 9.6 available.

  • Can't wirelessly download app updates to my ipad2.

    I have been unable to wirelessly download app updates to my ipad2.  I can download them from my PC and then sync, but when I try to do it wirelessly, I get an "An unknown error has occurred." message.  Any thoughts?

    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Why can't i download or update any app?

    I've been trying to download or update my apps for about last 3 weeks. But the system sends me to another page and asks me to change my payment method. Why is that so?! Maybe i don't want to change my payment method. If this order is coming from some bug or anything, then why there was no action to fix it???

    OK, so try re-entering your current payment method.

  • 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 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.
