Hi,

The alert you are receiving is associated to an unpaid balance owed on your Apple ID for a previous purchase. You would need to update your payment method in order to take care of the unpaid balance.

If your payment method is declined in the App Store or iTunes Store

After you have updated your payment information, the unpaid order will charge the card automatically, and then you will be able to download and update all apps again as normal.

To view where the unpaid purchase originated, you can take a look at your Purchase History within your Settings.

See your purchase history for the App Store, iTunes Store, and more

Hope this helps!
