Q: Ipad2 app store can't download apps - get error 'item is being modified, try again later', but daughter IS able to download it just fine!

I'm unable to download almost all apps on my ipad2 now.  This problem got worse now over the last 2 days.  I click on the purchase, then get 'This item is currently being modified.  Please try again later.'. I've tried 'rebooting' the iPad (turning it off then back on).  I then asked my daughter to try downloading the same app on her ipad2, and it works just fine for her - no error message.  I try again, and same error.  Apple support had me reset the iPad, and it still didn't work.  Apple support had me try to install it on my iTunes from my pc (windows 7 pc), and it doesn't work for me from there either.

 

It sounds to me like it's a problem then with my iTunes account (my iTunes account is about 6 years old) - my daughters iTunes acct, like her ipad2, is brand new.  My iPad2 is a couple months old...

 

Since it fails on my pc iTunes, I don't think that it is a problem with my iPad.

 

Since my daughter can install the apps in the middle of when I'm getting the errors, I don't think that the error is correct - it can't be being modified if my daughter can download it...

 

3 hours with apple support was no help - they don't see any problem with my iTunes account, and just say that it must be an issue with the app...

That doesn't make sense to me when my daughter can download it just fine, and it is happening to me with SO MANY APPS!

 

By the way, my daughter is here in the same house with me, with wifi access being used to download the apps.

 

Again, it is happening with almost EVERY app I try to download now, but occasionally I am able to download an app.

 

I've downloaded hundreds of apps over the 2 months I've owned my iPad, and have gotten this error sporadically the whole time I've had my iPad.

At first I thought the error was valid, but now with it happening over and over again, and trying again 'hours' or a day later doesn't help, I don't see how these apps can really be 'being modified' all this time, especially when my daughter can download these apps just fine (several of them)

 

Is anyone else having this problem??  How to fix it???

    Well, looks like it was fixed in just a couple of hours - this one must have been big enough to get some attention.

    Alas, the problem has returned....after spending entirely too much time searching the internet I came across a solution that worked for me...basically you have to change something about your apple account

     

    1. I read one entry from a gentleman who changed his apple ID name and wa-la, problem fixed

    2.  My apple id is a @me.com apple id --> you can't change these --> I changed the email account that is linked to my apple id, wa-la, problem fixed

     

    ...apple is a piece of **** for not fixing this (yet I will buy their products anyways, the ********)

    Yes, it happened to me too for some of in apps purchase of Voltage Inc., and it happened since last week especially for Indonesia and Australia stores. I have called Apple's support twice and the answer is I have to contact the Developer and asking them to change the price ... Please concern this matter and solve the problem promptly. Thank you.
