Why can't I install apps on my iPhone?

I can't install new apps on my iPhone.
When pressing "Install app" in the App Store you return to the home screen, the icon of the new app appears and instead of downloading and installing the app, the icon immediately disappears and I get an error message saying "Connection to iTunes Store failed." (Actually "Verbinding met iTunes Store mislukt" in Dutch).
This happens..
only on my iPhone (not on my iPad or Windows PC which use the same Apple ID and internet connection);
only when installing a new app, not when updating an app, that works fine;
My Apple ID password is entered correct. I have an active internet connection, either via Wi-Fi, 3G or connected to PC.
I tried restoring a previous iCloud backup, didn't help.
What could be the problem and how do I solve it?

I had done the 'Reset All Settings'. But the connection to App Store is still slow, it keeps loading. This is definitely not a network connection problem because my iPad works just fine. So, I connected the iPhone to my Macbook iTune and updated the apps manually from the iTune library. In a way, this solved part of the problem. Thank you so much.
Later, I tried to connect my iPhone to the App Store again. The connection is kind of unstable. It connected and allowed me to update some apps. After a while, it showed error message like "502 Bad Gateway". I hope I don't have to reset everytime when I update some app.

  • Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

    Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

    This too started to happen to me when I upgraded iOS 5 and moved to iCloud.
    I have since purchased 3 apps and got the waiting que and nothing.
    I noticed though that with my Mac on, I went to IPad settings/general/iTunes sync and sync now, suddenly the three apps started o download and install. Why it's doing this I'm not sure until I dig a bit deeper.

  • HT2534 Why can't I install apps. When they are free?

    Why can't I install apps. When they are free?

    Try anything from the 12 Days of Christmas app or any other app from the App Store.
    1. Tap the "Free" button
    2. Tap the "Install App" button
    The button will switch to the "Installing" button quickly and then go back to the "Free" button and thats it.  No workie!
    Can't believe this is broken.

  • Why can't I install apps on my phone?  Permission Wizard will not let me!

    When I try to install apps on my Lumina 822, it says that I need permission from a parent (mind you I am 35 years old), and it redirects me to the Microsoft Permission Wizard (?).  I follow the steps and give permission and sign in with my hotmail address, as asked, but then it brings me right back to the beginning and no app is installed.  I do not know why it does this!  Can anyone help me? 
    I would also like to be able to turn that feature (?) off if possible.  I do not want to have to do that everytime I try to install something on my own phone.
    Thanks

    It either have to do with Kid's Corner turned on a setting/configuration of your Live account.  Go to https://account.live.com and see what you have configured.

  • Why can't I download apps on my iPhone

    I Put my account on my mom iPhone and now I can't download apps on my iPhone why ? What can I do so I can fix things

    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
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • Why can't I download apps onto my iphone when i have enough memory and my apple password is correct.

    I have sucessfully downloaded apps on my iphone many times in the past. Now, when I select and try to install an app it begins to download, I put in my password and then everything reverts back to the start. I have lots of memory and even free apps won.t download. I've looked and read all the support manuals online and nothing helps.
    Has anyone had this problem before and knows how to help. I would appreciate any advice.

    You will have to call Apple and ask for Account Security.

  • Why can't I download apps on my iPhone 5?  Error message says: ConnectionManager::invoke::Failed to find service connection url

    I am trying to download a free app on my iPhone 5.  I keep getting a message after I enter my Apple ID password.  The message says: ConnectionManager::invoke:;Failed to find service connection url.  I've tried shutting off my phone, a hard reboot, and connecting to wifi.  Nothing works.

    I am in the same boat. Seems to be a common problem lately. Hopefully we will find a fix.

  • Why can't I install apps on my ipad?  password there is a note that says sign in requreid

    iPad cannot install apps

    Are you signed in to your Apple ID on your iPad? Use the Settings app to find out.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > if you see, "Sign In" your not signed in and need to do so.
    You must be signed in to a valid Apple ID and have a valid form of payment entered in order to download apps. You will not be charged to download free apps.

  • Why can't I install apps on my iPad 2 after I upgraded it into iOS 6?

    I pressed the install button and then  it was stuck in the state having an empty bar waiting to be filled. Nothing happens. Does anyone know what's wrong?

    Try a reset:
    1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together)
    2. For about 10 seconds
    3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
    Note: You may need to do the above a few times

  • Why can't I download Apps from my iPhone to my Mac?

    When I synchronise I get a message that I have not authorised my computer and I get a list of Apps that cannot be downloaded. I realised I have 2 Apple IDs, one from my previous email account which I shut down 12 months ago and I must have created a new one when I got another phone 4s. So, it appears the Apps I can't download are those purchased via my new AppleID. I have now opened the sames iTunes on my phone but still nothing is happening. I do not have a wireless connection right now, but use a USB internet connection.

    When I started with my iPhone, I was adding contacts to the "On my iPhone" account because that was the default, and they didn't sync through the cloud. I changed the default account to iCloud and the new ones worked, but I don't think the old "on my iPhone" ones worked. Might have to export them and then import them. It's all fuzzy now and this was in IOS5.
