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 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.

  • 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.

  • I cannot download or upgrade any apps from AppStore on my iphone 4 after upgrading to ios 5.1.1

    I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 5.1.1 using itunes.
    After which I started using my phone as usual.
    I was not able to upgrade or download apps from AppStore using wi-fi or 3G.
    When I select any app for upgradation or downloading it starts, But It stops at 'waiting' stage , And never goes to 'loading' stage.
    Please help resolve this issue.
    Thanks!

    Have you tried buying or upgrading on your mac or pc via itunes?  You may have bad wifi/3G connections.  And, for 3G, most carriers place a file size limit on tranmissions.  I think that affects app downloads, if they're big.

  • 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 file from any websites?

    Whenever I try to download files from filesharing sites like mediafire, I click the download button and the page appears to be loading and nothing happens.
    After several tries, I found out that while the page is loading, it is actually downloading the file because the time it takes for the page to load before the "open" or "save file" windows come out depends on the size of the file. And immediately after I click "save file" the download is done, and I can open whatever I downloaded. The time ranges between 5min to 30min depending on the file size.
    Usually the "save file" window will display immediately when I click on the download button, the the fire fox download window will show the progress of the download and % of completion. But no, for me nothing appears in the download window, and I don't get to see the progress of my download until it is apparently "completed" after the webpage finished loading.
    I have tried every solution that I know, cleaning my browser history and cookies, resetting firefox, clearing up my computer's registry, even did a clean reinstall of firefox, wiping everything including my bookmarks, but none of these solves the problem. I am also pretty sure that my firefox extension are not the ones to blame as I did do a test download after a clean reinstall, which did not work as well.

    My problem is fixed after I set the firefox connection settings from "use system proxy setting" to "no proxy". After setting to no proxy, the downloads happens as it should.
    but my question now is what is system proxy? and what is the difference between using these 2 different options?

  • Why can't I download free upgrades for a free game if I have no money in my bank account?

    Because Apple requires a valid payment method even for free apps and updates unless your initially set up the account without a payment method

  • Why can't I download Free iPod Touch Apps from Apps Store w/Shopping Cart?

    I have an 8GB iPod Touch (original model) with the current 2.1 software. I also have iTunes v. 8.0. The behavior I am seeing started about 3 weeks ago and continues with these updates - it was not like this when I first downloaded the 2.0 software and began installing Apps.
    I prefer to manage my iPod Touch applications in iTunes. I have my iTunes account set up for a Shopping Cart, not 1-Click Buy. This is because for Music, I prefer to add songs I will want to my shopping cart, then buy them when I want to.
    When iTunes 7.7 first came out with v2.0 software, even though I have a Shopping Cart for my iTunes, I could "buy" a Free App just by clicking on it, and it would be automatically downloaded and added to my Applications folder on iTunes. Then, when I synced with my iPod Touch, it would install the app on my iPod Touch. This was true for either new Apps or upgrades to existing Apps.
    For the last few weeks, every time I try to update even an existing App for my iPod Touch, if I do it through the iTunes store, I get the following message:
    "Applications cannot be purchased with Shopping Cart.
    Your preferences are currently set to buy using Shopping Cart. Application purchases cannot be placed in Shopping Cart: they must be purchase by 1-Click. Select Buy if you'd like to purchase [NAME OF APPLICATION} by using 1-Click and your credit card will be charged immediately."
    The [NAME OF APPLICATION] is filled in with whatever application I am dealing with at that time.
    Why is it that even with a Free application, and an update for it at that, it will not let me obtain it with iTunes if I have a Shopping Cart? So far, I have solved the problem by doing all of my Applications management on my iPod Touch. I use the iTunes Store on my iPod Touch to search for and download the application. Then, when I sync, it places it in my Applications folder on iTunes on my PC.
    This is very strange behavior for iTunes. Why would it want to charge my credit card for a Free Application?
    Many thanks.
    Joe

    Hi Steve,
    Thanks for your reply. I do have a valid Credit Card on the account. In addition, I also have about a $5 credit from an iTunes gift card in my iTunes account.
    In any event, I'm actually NOT purchasing anything. All I'm trying to do is download a FREE App for my iPod Touch. It simply won't let me do it.
    This is extremely frustrating.
    Best regards.
    Joe

  • Why can't I download my Adobe Cloud apps

    I uninstalled my Adobe Cloud apps in anticipation of receiving my serial no. for my Adobe Creative Suite 6DS. However it's taking some time and I'd like to re-install my Cloud apps while I wait. However upon clicking on any of the Download buttons I receive the message:
    Safari can’t open “aam://SAPCode=ILST?productVersion=17.0?passPhrase=bPQdwp8Nx94Giuw0a2KbZemMcfoorgRvgT98YP aWZLcS7FhsqM2pLCJgjpdMsvkBa7t1nQAuJrf6Da14Xq+JvLOREMHRktcVCLbHD6b+SaF7YnBHBPXYZzNbNBeN6blC r5UDtAmxSLMeG92YfZkUZbRgRMwyuMzk6V8mqA3xMqA=” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “aam:”.
    What the heck is this?

    Hi Akj375,
    Please reset safari and try downloading again: http://browsers.about.com/od/safar1/ht/safaridefault.htm . If still the same error kindly try downloading using different browser.

  • 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 Garageband off the App Store?

    So I got my Macbook Pro a few month's ago and Garageband didn't come pre-installed on it everytime I try to download it, instead of a price button there is accept but it just say's "These apps cannot be accepted on this computer." Now I did get my Mac for slightly cheaper because a lady brought it back, but I was told she didn't even use it she just turned it on then brought it back the same day apparently the screen wasn't big enough.Any help is much appreciated I really just want to play around with Garageband so hopefully there is a solution to my problem.

    I believe the previous owner has registered or created a Apple ID on apple and the apps are linked to that Apple ID, try calling tech support and have them clear the link or transfer to your Apple ID then it should work. Same thing happened to me because I registered the computer on one ID and then signed-in on a different ID and tried to download Garage Band and could not, would not allow me to accept the download. Hope this helps

  • Why can't I update or purchase any apps in the App Store with iOS7?

    When I go to the AppStore to download or update apps, I get no result.
    When buying, I click on the price (or FREE), and then click on BUY or INSTALL. The circle comes up, animated, and then returns back to the price or BUY. Nothing else happens.
    When I try to update, I click on Update or Update All, and I get the same result as above.
