Why can't i download apps on my ipod?

I can't download apps anymore on my ipod. I dont know why. can you please help!!!!

Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  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.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

    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.

    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.

    Why can I not download apps onto my Macbook. The only apps that come up are ipad & iphone apps.

    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.

  • I can no longer download apps on my iPod. (More info in message)

    I can no longer download apps on my iPod. I recently had a card number on my iTunes account that i had to cancel and now it wants me to enter another card number so i can purchase apps. I only plan on getting free apps on my iPod and i do not want to enter my card number. Is there a way to create an account without enter my card number?

    If you are curious and you want to know what iOS you are running - go to Settings>General>About>Version.
    Also make sure that you transfer purchases into iTunes from your iPad via File>Transfer Purchases while the iPad is connected to your computer, with iTunes running and with your iPad selected. Also make sure that you backup your iPad  by right clicking on the iPad name under devices and selecting - Backup. Copy any important files to your computer as well before you update your iPad.

  • 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 apps on my iPad

    No. It's a problem on your device or with your network or internet connection. Millions of us are downloading without problems.
    Why don't you describe what is happening when you try to download apps.

    Hi Julua,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  To troubleshoot this issue, I would first suggest you sign out of the iTunes Store on your iPhone, then quit all open apps and restart the iPhone.  Log back into the iTunes Store with your Apple ID and password and then attempt to download a free app.  The following articles will provide more detailed information:
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311?viewlocale=en_US
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
    Tap your Apple ID.
    Tap Sign Out.
    iOS: Force an app to close

    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • Why can i not download apps from australia

    I live in the UK and wish to download apps from Australia like TENplay but unable to, why is that and when will apple allow us to do so?

    It's not Apple's choice. All content is licensed by the rights-holders to Apple to sell on a country-by-country basis, each country therefore has to have its own store and you have to be in a country to use its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the UK store, but unless the rights-holder agrees to it then Apple can't sell it here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • Why can't I download apps from App store? I get error message to log into Itunes but when I do I have no idea what to do!?

    I'm stuck. Can't download any apps. Error message directs me to iTunes. No idea what to do when I get to iTunes. Still can't download anything. Dead in the water.

    If you are trying to download apps over 20MB in size, you can't do it via 3G. You can download them via WiFi.
    When you go to iTunes on your computer, from the menu at the top - go to Store>Check for available downloads.

  • 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 apps over 100mb on 3G?

    I have an all-you-can-eat data plan,
    yet AppStore won't let me download apps over a certain size!!
    I don't have wifi though!
    How can I change this to allow me to download apps any size?

    Sorry, but you cannot change it.  The store has a hard limit on the maximum size of what it will allow to be downloaded over any cellular data connection.  The only solution at this time is to find a wifi node or download in iTunes on your computer via a wired ISP connection.
    You can submit feedback to Apple to let them know you would like this changed
