Why would I repeatedly receive an "unable to download at this time " error message when memory and signal do not seem to be a problem?

Why would I repeatedly receive a download error message when memory is sufficient?

Uh, maybe it's a server problem, and unrelated to you or your device?

Hey Prahaladvatsan,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, there is a blank app icon on the home screen. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.

TS1424 I have purchased a film and an album in iTunes. They all appear under downloads but state 'download error, tap to retry'. When I retry a box appears quoting the title of the film/song and ''unable to download at this time'. Help pls!!

Recently rented a film and bought an album on iTunes. The items appear in my purchased items and in my download items however they have a download error tap to retry. When I retry I box appears quoting name of item and unable to download at this time. What do I need to check? I have had no problems downloading before and my Internet signal is strong. Help please!!

For the rental:
Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
For the music:
Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

I have downloaded an album through itunes and there are 4 songs that have a cloud with a red arrow pointing downwards, when I click on it it says unable to download at this time. Why is this?

I'm not sure if they could tell you but you could try contacting Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click iTunes>iTunes Store>Purchases, Billing & Redemption. You will need your serial number, which you can find in Settings>General>About.

Podcasts always "Unable to download at this time", despite retry, reboots

I have an iPhone 4 (not S), running 7.1.2, which is the latest version of iOS that will run on it. I know that means that eventually it's going to stop working, but I can't afford to shell out on a new piece of hardware anytime soon, so I've been trying to baby it along.
Starting with the new Podcasts app, I began to get occasional "Unable to download at this time" messages, but clicking again would download them, or failing that, turning the phone completely off and then on. Once I went a whole week without being able to download, but it turned out the phone was full -- once I downloaded some excess photos and listened to some hour-long episodes, they downloaded just fine again.
Starting this week, nothing will download, no matter what I do. I have a full gig free. I have rebooted it several times a day all week,
I do not use iTunes to sync my downloads, because the desktop version refuses to mark episodes played that I listened to on the device, so the instant I start iTunes it starts downloading hundreds of episodes that I've already finished long ago. Because of this, I download episodes directly to the iPhone over wifi as my primary method.

Try going to Settings>Store and sign out and sign back in.
It also could be due to an Apple server problem. and yu will just have to wait and try again.

Rebooting will not make you lose any content. Rebooting is when you hold the home button and the sleep button down at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
You can these suggestions. One might work for you.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.

I am unable to fully download iPhoto on my iPad 2. It downloads nearly to the end and then I get a message that says"unable to download at this time." This time has now lasted two weeks. What do I do? Many thanks!

How do I download iPhoto to my iPad 2 iOS 6? It refuses to fully download. Towards the end of the download, I get a message that says "unable to download at this time." This time has now lasted two weeks. I already have iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. Many thanks.

Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

LabVIEW 8.2 -- "unable to locate LabView run-time" error message

I am trying to run a LabVIEW version 8 exe file and keep getting the
"Unable to locate" error. I downloaded LabVIEW_8.2_Runtime_Engine.exe
from the NI website and installed the entire contents of the
distribution. After getting the error, I have tried uninstalling and
reinstalling several times, with the same result.
Is there some way I can troubleshoot this? Is there a configuration
file or a registry entry I can check to see where LabVIEW is looking
for the run-time?

Michael,
As Dennis said you need to make sure the version of the Runtime Engine matches the version of LabVIEW the executable was created with.
You can find different versions of the Runtime Engine on our webpage here.

Anybody else having this problem with the iphone 4 or ipad 2?

Settings > General > Network > Reset Network Settings.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
Does this only occur on cellular data? Wi-Fi? or both?

Unable to download apps due to error message

I've downloaded and installed apps plenty of times but all of a sudden, the app store started to give me the error:
"We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
It first came up when I tried to install an update so I trashed the app and tried to reinstall but got the same message. I then tried to download other apps to see what would happen and the same message appears everytime. How do I fix this issue?

Some people have reported that they've had to go through extremes to install Virus Barrier to get this to work.
Let's try creating a NEW USER ACOUNT on your system, and try to download through the MAS from that fresh clean account.
