Why can't I download or update my apps?

I have a 64 gb original iPad, and I just updated to ios 5.0.1. All of my apps open and function, but when I try to update them, they show the progress bar momentarily, then disappear for a second, and return, with no update. Any ideas? I've tried deleting my cloud account, signing in and out of my iTunes account, neither of which made any difference.

You could try closing the App Store app completely and then see if you can download updates after you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with 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.
If that doesn't work then you could try 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 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???

  • Why can't I download or update my apps since new iOS 8 update?

    Every time I try to update or download new app from iTunes store I get a waiting below app icon and even if I leave for hours it doesn't progress at all and is impossible to download anything from iTunes store. I ttied resetting my phone and powering down both but still does the same thing!!

    I get the same thing... just a spinning icon and the download doesn't even start. This started after updating to 8.0.2.
    I've closed apps and rebooted several times and I still can't download any apps. I've tried both on Wifi and cellular and can't download.

  • 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 ?

  • Why cant i re download or update my apps or get free apps or up dates

    Why cant i re download or update my apps or get free one when  my debet card is out of money, im tired of have to wait tell i get payed each month, to do get what i already paid for.

    That is the way the system works. Regardless of whether it is a free app or a free update the system reaches out to verify the payment method in your account info. But it only needs to verify that the account is open and has funds. Do you withdraw all of your funds every payday?
    Do you have the None option. If so, you can switch to that until you want to buy something and it won't need to reach out and verify the account.

  • HT202794 Why can't I download the free Apple apps for my new iPhone 5S? It was set up in store and restored from my iPod Touch 5.

    Why can't I download the free Apple apps for my new iPhone 5S? It was set up in store and restored from my iPod Touch 5.

    Are you logged in with the same account that was used to activate the phone ? If you are, and the apps aren't showing as free, then try logging out of your account by tapping on it at the botto of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in and see if they then show as free.

  • 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 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 anything from the App Store?

    I tried downloading a free app from the apple App Store but I now get a message saying there was a problem taking payments and I have to update my credit card details. This is confusing as the app is free and I have never tried paying for an app without having the money in my bank to pay for it. Why does it now tell me I ended credit card details to install an app and why has the error occurred with my bank details?

    Check to make sure your credit card details (like expire date, etc) are current.

  • Why can't I download or upgrade any apps??

    My apps won't update on my iPod touch 4g. I would press update and it would say installing but then went back to saying update. Since it wouldn't work, I upgraded my software to the 6.1 and it still does the same thing.  I reset it w the home button & power button but its still doing the same thing. What do I do?

    I appreciate the info, however this problem exists not only on the devices, but also directly within iTunes.  We are unable to download any previously purchased apps, app upgrades, etc. from within iTunes.  iTunes returns an error of (11111).  This is in addition to all of our iDevices simultaneously ceasing to download previously purchased apps, upgrades, etc.  At this point, we've eliminated the possibility of it being device specific (in my case alone, this started happening on 2 iPhones, 2 iPod Touch 4G and an iPad 2 simultaneously) or account specific (I'll post links to the other current threads here addressing the same problem).  It appears to be a failure of the actual iTunes store and the iOS App Store.

    Again, I really do appreciate your help, but I don't want to put anyone else involved in this thread through the task of backing up and restoring if it isn't going to have any impact on the problem - especially if they, too, are running older iOS for one reason or another and suddenly find they can't restore to their previous iOS as they do this.

  • Why can't I download the updates?

    When i try to update my Adobe Premiere Pro, the updater tells me to turn off the program; I do, then it starts to download and then tells me again to turn off the program. It is already turned off though. Then i get an error message:
    Adobe CSXS Infrastructure 4
    Installation failed. Error Code: U44M1P7
    Since the program is working kind of funky, crashes alot, i thought maybe an update would fix it, but can't get anything to load.

    You may need Adobe help for this, not other users in a user to user forum

  • Why can't I download Flip4mac update via Safari?

    Because of continuing, apparently unresolvable problems with Firefox 3, I decided to use Safari instead. Apart from Safari being deadly slow, periodically I have had this problem. Each time I receive a "wmv" file, I am told that my Flip4mac is out of date – although I can still open and view the file– and I am directed to the download site. When I try to go to that site and update Flip4mac, I get this message: "Safari can't connect to the server at - download, microsoft.com" I find this strange and irritating. Should I be able to make this connection and if so, how do I make it happen? Any ideas?

    I tried the new website you suggested. After proceeding through a series of windows without any difficulty or problem, I get to the point where I receive a window that thanks me for downloading Flip4mac with instructions that tells me how to install the .dmg file on the desktop. But in the processing of downloading, I receive the same message: "Safari can't connect to the server"
