Hello there Charlieizguirre,

There could be a number of things causing the issue, so here are a couple resources to try and resolve your issue.


First this article about troubleshooting the iPhone.

Second, you may want to sign out of, then back into the iTunes and App stores. This article named iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311


"Changing your Apple ID account

Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.

Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account"


Take care,

Sterling

I just spoke with Apple and they say since 9.1 this is no longer an issue (9.1 release notes state it was solved with that update).

9.1 solved it for me - but it came back. Tried unsuccessfully to update last night and am glad it failed (terrible wifi) as all the time spent wouldn't have fixed it anyway.


Since there's no known fix, and Apple doesn't acknowledge there's a problem, I suppose we are stuck until some dumb luck happens. Cannot restore as new because all gaming data would be lost. And that's the point. Since iCloud doesn't allow for gaming data to be stored there. If it did, we'd scrub away. If back ups are so important why bother if their fix is "restore as new?" Tell that to my little man who has worked on his Minecraft world for a year. :/
