Why won't it let me download apps?

I just got my iphone 5s last night, and I proceeded to download all the apps I wanted until I came across one that said I needed to update, so I updated my phone and in the morning I downloaded that app and one more, after which when I tried to download an app it would ask me to type in my password and I did, and it looks like it goes through just fine but then nothing happens, and I don't have the app. I thought that was maybe just an incompatibility with my phone, as they were relatively older apps, and I thought nothing of it. I later on tried to download Spotify, and it did the same thing, so I knew something was wrong. I looked on these forums, and found some that said to log out of your account then log back in at Settings->iTunes & App Store. So I did this, and as I tried to log back in it again looked like it was loading and then just didn't do anything at all. Now I am very concerned as this is legitimately a day old iPhone, and it already won't let me download any apps. Any help at all would be extremely appreciated! Thanks!

That's just how it is.
Do you already have an Apple ID? If not, you can make one without a credit card.
You'll need to be signed out of anything Apple and you'll need an e-mail you've never used with them. THen try to download a free app, when there's the prompt to sign in or make an apple ID, choose to make one, follow the prompts and you should see the 'none' option to make the ID without a credit card.

  • IPad app problems it won't. Let me download apps.it says check billing info I check everything number by number letter by letter

    iPad version 4.2.1 app problems it won't. Let me download apps.it says check billing info I check everything number by number letter by letter it still won't work everything on my billing is correct

    If you had money in your account when you purchased a paid app and Apple didn't claim on the payment to your bank until after the download it maybe that there was insufficient balancce in your account to complete the purchase and therefore you'll need to wait until you have the funds to make the payment, when you have billing issues it won't even let you download free apps.
    If that isn't the case then give iTunes store a call or email them and they can tell you exactly what is wrong with the account

  • Why won't itunes let me download the songs I've purchased?

    About a week or two ago I pre-ordered the new A7x album (which came out today) and it says all the songs are purchesed but it wont let me download them. What do I do?

    Hey Trevsauce,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The following article outlines the procedure of pre-orders and redeeming the download:
    Downloading a pre-ordered item
    When a pre-order item becomes available, you will receive an email letting you know your pre-order is available for download.
    If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloads to begin downloading your pre-order.

  • Why won't iTunes let me download or play my matched and uploaded music?

    According to iTunes, I have 5,009 songs now available in iCloud. Most of these were either matched or uploaded. They are not stored locally on my PC, as I use an external hard drive for that, and it's not hooked up right now.  I want to listen to some of my music on the PC.
    When I open iTunes, the iCloud status reflects that songs are matched or uploaded, but there is no download icon next to them -- the only songs with that icon are ones that I originally purchased from iTunes.  And there are also many songs that were purchased from iTunes that also don't have a download icon next to them.  Everything has an exclamation point next to it, reflecting that my external hard drive isn't connected. And if I double-click any of the songs that don't have a download icon (most of them), I get the standard message that iTunes can't locate the song. 
    I've tried turning Match off and on multiple times, and also updating Match. Tried exiting iTunes and reopening.  Nothing helps. In fact, every time I turn Match back on, it asks me if I want to add this computer to iCloud -- as if I haven't added it 10 times already.
    Match has been working fine on my iPod. 
    Here's what I'm seeing, just to illustrate -- you can see that there is a download icon next to the songs in one album, which was purchased, but nothing netx to the otehrs, which are all matched or uploaded:
    I'm going nuts. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on or what I'm doing wrong?

    I agree with Michael.  What's happening is because you broke the link to your external drive.  As far as Match is concerned, you still have all of those songs available to you locally. 
    If you've never created a new library in iTunes, it's easy and painless.  Switching back to your main library after you hook back up your external drive is easy too.  On a Mac you just hold down the option key when launching iTunes to get the prompt to either create a new library or to link to one  you already have - simple as that.
    For what it's worth, I set up a second library after enabling iTunes Match.  All I put in it is new music I want added to the cloud.  It saves me a lot of time and if I really want a copy of the songs locally in my main library, they still show up via Match as downloads, so I can grab them anytime.

  • I have an older ipod, and it won't let me download apps. It says my iPod isn't compatible?

    I have an older ipod, and it won't let me download apps. It says my iPod isn't compatible? Then when i plug my iPod onto iTunes it says it's fully updated.

    You don't say which version of iPod you have but apparently it's fully updated to it's capability yet not to the level that newer iPods can go.  Some apps do require the latest IOS level.

    If you want to use your current ID you will either have to provide a credit card or redeem an iTunes gift card.  Otherwise you can create a new ID without a credit card to purchase free apps by following this exactly as written: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534.

    You said you updated yur 1G iPod to 4.2.1. A 1G can only go to 3.1.3 and thus you must have jailbroken it to get to 4.2.1 and that can cause problems.

    I have the same problem.. apps won't download and won't open. I have a 1st Gen ipod touch and recently upgraded my MacBook Pro (2012) and as soon as I upgraded the iPod Touch to 4.2.1, this happened. I restored to factory defaults and still cannot dl and open apps. Any way to diagnose this problem? Apple tech charges $29.99 for out of warranty products and if I am reluctant to pay with them telling me its simply a hardware problem.

    Yes. You can set the payment method to "None" once you log into iTunes on your PC/Mac. I have it set up this way.

  • My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.

    My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.  I put in my password and then get a screen that says "Download Now".  I can't press the okay button to start the download.  What should I do?  All of the other buttons on the screen work, so I don't think it is broken.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
