Why cant i update my apps

why cant i update my apps

One thing to check is to see if you have any items waiting to download in iTunes (on your iPhone).
The most recent time I had this problem, I checked there and found 5 items that hadn't downloaded properly.  Once cleared, things started updating again.
It looks like there's a system-wide download queue, and, unlike the non-iPhone versions, it will only download one item at a time.  So, if one item gets stuck, the others wait patiently behind it until its their turn, like polite people on an escalator.  Pausing or deleting the troublesome download will allow the others to continue.

    why cant i update to os 10.7.5?

    If you're still running 10.6.3, you'll need to update to 10.6.8 to get the App Store. Since you didn't supply any information about your Mac, Lion might not be a good match for you.
    After you have the App Store, Lion can be ordered here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion

  • Why cant i open my app store in my mac?

    why cant i open my app store in my macbook air?

    If you are speaking of the encryption of Windows 7, then you don't. (unless you are running Windows on your Mac)
    If you want to use it on your Mac on the native OS X, remove the encryption with your Windows machine, first.
    If it is formatted in NTFS, you will then be able to read the contents natively, but not write to it. You can add an NTFS driver to OS X, or you can reformat to either Mac OS, or ExFAT, losing your existing data on that drive. I used to be a fan of some of the third-party solutions, but have since ditched them, as it takes continual maintenance to retain functionality with OS X updates.
    What you have right this very moment is a drive very much married to Windows, with the expense of not much compatibility to the Mac.

  • HT4946 when you change your country of orgin. why cant you buy in app purchases from apps that you downloaded in the previous country?

    when you chane your country of orgin. why cant you buy in-apps purchases from apps which you bought in the previous country?

    Bob,
    Apple did approve our in-app purchase without publishing the folio ahead of time.
    I have a new question: Can I change the "Cleared for sale" attribute in the iTunes Connect interface from no to yes before a folio's scheduled publication date? Or should I wait until after the folio has been published?
    I would think you could set the "Cleared for sale" attribute to yes before the publication date and it would not cause any problems since the folio is not available to purchase until it's published.

  • HT4972 Why cant I update my iphone 3G from iOS 4.2 to newer version

    Can't load any apps to my phone, not even ones I've had on before. tried restoring to factory settings etc.

    If you have the apps you downloaded before in your computer, you could sync your iPhone 3G and get the working apps back in your iPhone.  Since the 3G's hardware does not support the latest iOS and many app developers have updated their apps to use the new features of newer iPhones and newer iOS, those updated apps will not work on the 3G, but the older versions will and you can still sync them to your phone if you have those olders versions in your computer.

  • HT4972 why cant i update my sons iphone 3gs to ios5 from ios4? it wont let me download him any apps?

    my sons iphone3gs has ios4 and it wont let me download any apps i need to update it to ios5 but dont know how ?!?!

    IF you actually have a 3GS, follow the instructions in the article from which the question was posted and you will be able to update to iOS6.
    If you have a 3G, iOS 4.2.1 is as high as it can go.

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
    Upgrading to Yosemite
    To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
        OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
          Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

  • Why cant i leave an app review

    Why am i unable to leave a review for any apps i have bought.
    it lets me type the review , select how many stars i want to leave.
    But that is it, my reviews never ever show.
    it is soo annoying and makse me so angry that i can not leave what i think of an app.
    Please fix this. as i am starting have thought of leaving the apple eco system for one that works.

    We are at 10.6.7 and there is a new version of the Mac App Store. Download and manually install the update combo and it will update your OS and install the new version of the MAS and perhaps fix any other faults going on.
    Repair permissions before and after installing the update. Restart your Mac after the update finishes. And do not runany other apps while the update is being installed.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
    After everything else has finished be sure to run Software Update and get any other updates Apple may have for your Mac.
