Why can't I get app updates

When I click on "Check for updates" nothing happens. This started with the most recent upgrade. It never happened before even when there was no update available.

H Amy ...
You will need to use the same Apple ID and password that was used for the original purchases, (even free apps).
Otherwise, create your own Apple ID and purchase your own.
From the App Store menu bar click Store > Sign In > Create Apple ID

    Why can't I get apps from other country apple store?

    That statement is false. Copied directly from the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:
    "The iTunes Service is available to you only in( Insert country name here). You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance."
    You need to be physically located in the country, its territories or possessions whose store you are trying to use.

    I have been given my Auntie's Mac to use and I can't get the updates in the App Store because I can't log in. Why?

  • Can't automatically get apps updated

    I just got my iPhone 5 & updated to iOs 6.1. The app icon shows that I have updates but nothing comes on the screen when I try to access the update list. I have rebooted the phone & resynced with my computer. If I manually enter names of apps in search, then I can update them & decrease the number of app updates showing.

    Never had a problem until the new phone & software update! Any idea how I can fix it?

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

  • Why can't I get an update higher than OS X 10.6.8?

    I am new to this whole thing but... Why won't my computer update past/higher than 10.6.8 (I ran the software update and it said I'm up to date)? I need at least 10.7 for an application I'd like to download...

    Which model MacBook Pro do you have? 10.6.8 is the last version of Snow Leopard - you would have to purchase Lion or Mountain Lion but, if your machine will support Mavericks (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842), you can update to that free.
    Purchasing Lion or Mountain Lion requires a call to Apple - you can't buy it directly from the Mac App Store.

  • 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 get apps on my iPod touch

    Need help

    Need more information.
    What have you tried doing so far?
    Are the Apps in your iTunes Library?
    Have you Synced your ipod with your iTunes library?
    Is this all Apps, or just some of them?
    Are the Apps compatible with your iPod? (Is your iOS version at least as high as the iOS needed for the App?)
    Is your iTunes/iPod set to Sync the Apps? (With the iPod connected to iTunes, look on the Device/Apps and check the Sync options.)
    If the answer to any of the questions is "no", or you don't understand a question, please tell us which one(s).

  • HT201263 My iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5 yet most apps run on iOS 7. Why can't I make the update on my iPad 1? Is this so I buy another iPad 2+? Now why would I want to buy something that will be obsolete in a few years?

    My iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5 yet most apps run on iOS 7. Why can't I make the update on my iPad 1? Is this so I buy another iPad 2+? Now why would I want to buy something that will be obsolete in a few years?  I really want to purchase an Live TV plan yet I need iOS 7 to run most TV apps.
    Can Apple tell me why my iPad 1 is obsolete?
    g

    It's not obsolete as much as the first gen simply lacks the power to run the newer operating systems. IT doesn't have enough RAM. If someone managed to hack it to get iOS 6 or 7 on there they'd just have a slow, boggy and unresponsive device. (think putting windows 7 on an old laptop.
    Unfortunately software moves faster than hardware. Every thing goes obsolete. I've had my ipad 2 for two and a half years now and I know it only has so much longer left to it too. Just the 'joys' of advancing technology.

  • Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

    Why can't I get the Kodak Document Print App in the UK?

    "Apparently it's available in the US iTunes store but not here?"
    Because Kodak has chosen not to make it available there.
    "Can't for the life of me understand why that should be!"
    You do not have to understand it for it to be so.
    You can try asking Kodak, as they make the app.

  • Why can't I get the App "Deskconnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad as well as Mac and Iphone?

    Why can't I get the App "DeskConnect" on my Ipad 3.  It claims to be compatible with Ipad, Iphone and Mac.  I was able to download onto Mac and Iphone but it is not recognized for Ipad?

    I liked the idea of this app so I went looking for it and have now installed it on my Mac, iPhone and finally my iPad.
    This app, although it will run on the iPad is actually an iPhone/iPod app, as suggested above. So the only way to get it on my iPad was to search for it as an iPhone app in the App Store app on my iPad. Then it came up as an app that I could install on the iPad.

  • What is local storage? Why can't I get this app?

    So I'm trying to get the sims free play app on my ipod4g. It requires 569MB. So I click download and it says I do not have enough local storage. Which I clear do cause I just deleted almost everything off my iPod. I have 1.0GB of free storage left. I don't get it??? Why can't I get the app???

    You do NOT have enough space.  Most apps require 2 or 3 thimes the space required in order to install the app.
    You will need 1.2 - 1.8 gb or so free
