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.

  • 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 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 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.

  • 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

    Why can't I download any more apps on my ipad mini

    Try deleting the waiting app then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • 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 download Creative Cloud apps when running Linux?

    Using Linux (Mint), when trying to download any CC app, e.g. Photoshop CC I am told:
    "You are running an operating system that Photoshop no longer supports. Refer to the system requirements below for a full list of supported platforms."
    I have an active membership, why do you care which operating system I run? (I am not talking about installation or anything else)
    In my opinion it's bad practice to exclude your customers from downloading the products they paid for!
    Looking forward to an explanation! Thanks.

    Most of the Adobe applications only run on Windows and Mac OS. You can see the System Requirements by going to https://creative.adobe.com/products and choosing a product. Then chose the System Requirements tab. So for Photoshop you will see:
    There are the Touch app which run mostly on iOS with PS Touch running on Android too.
    No applications run on Linux.

  • Why can't I download the update to Firefox?

    I have a brand new I-mac and just recently added Mozilla Firefox to my browsers. I get a notice that a security update is available. When I select update, it say "connecting to update server", but it just stays on that place and never downloads the update. I can wait 5 or 6 minutes and it keeps saying "connecting to update server" but nothing else happens. I am new to Apple after saying farewell to my 8 year old Dell P.C., so everything is new to me. Is something blocking the update? I never had this problem when I used Firefox on my P.C. and since I love it as a primary browser, I want to keep everything up to date.

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 17.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • Why can't i download a free app from another countries app store?

    I have an account with App store UAE and need to download the HBR app which is free but when i access the USA store it says my credit card is not applicable tothis store

    Largely due to licensing agreements, you can only buy from the iTunes Store in the country in which you reside.  To prove you reside there, Apple will only take credit cards issued from and billed to that country / address. 
    The developer may not have given permission for that particular app to be sold in your country by Apple.   They may have alternate agreements.
