My apps won't download or update on App Store, what to do?

1. The same problem as the OP who I replied too. That's pretty evident isn't it?

2. If I knew why I can't download or update apps I wouldn't be on here asking.

3. Not sure what you mean by "where" but I'm at home

4. Same as OP who I replied too. I get the progress circle spinning but doesn't progress beyond that.

I've tried every troubleshooting advice given in this thread.

**Update**

Did a full backup/restore. At first that seemed to fix it but then I had trouble again downloading apps. I had to run out for a bit and decided to try it completely away from home on LTE. It worked flawlessy. Both App Store and iTunes Store.

Now I'm back home and it SEEMS to be working ok on my home wifi.

Perhaps it was something in my home network it didn't like. On the bright side the back/restore also fixed the playlist order problem (where it won't save the changes you've made to song order in a playlist) in the music player.

don’t do anything like this. force your phone by pressing the home button and the power button at the same time. power back on and retry to download apps. i’ve been trying all of these for weeks. i tried this and it worked. good luck.

I had the same thing with the new iOS 11 update even the bug fixes did nothing so I logged out from App Store though settings did a soft restart and then logged in though App Store it has worked so far

I have this problem with the iPhone seven. I need answers!! I have three out of five bars and I have total wifi, but it still won't download the app bundles I've bought. I searched the whole internet about it and not a thing works. Please if you have the answer... HELP! 🙏-1F3FC;

If you are having a problem downloading apps, then you need to specify what that problem is. We cannot see your phone. What do you mean that your iPhone 7 "won't let" you download apps? What is it doing to stop you from downloading them?

I have this problem on my Mac Pro! I've check my computer serial number, settings and other things. I cannot update purchased apps in the app store. This is becoming more of a problem since I updated the High Sierra.. Now I'm stuck with High Sierra and numerous bugs and the "no app update" is one of them. Does anybody have any answers? Thanks in advance..

If it says you can't download games, it also probably says something about contacting iTunes Support, right?

Try my approach to fixing this.

See this thread:

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7884382

Scroll down to my response.

Try going to Settings > General > Restrictions > and make sure that the iTunes Store, Installing Apps, Deleting Apps, and In-App Purchases are all under the Allow section. Test installing again.

If the above does not work:

Close the App Store completely from the app switcher window by double clicking the Home button and swiping up the App Store preview pane until it disappears from the screen. You may have to look for the App Store pane by scrawling to the left.

Then sign out of the iTunes Store (in Settings).

Then do a forced restart. Hold down the Home and Wake/Sleep buttons at the same time for about 15-20 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

Then sign back into the iTunes Store.

If neither works you may have a corrupted system and would have to do a Restore. I would restore as New and test the phone as the backup could be corrupted. Make sure to import all your photos and important data first. If the backup is corrupted, restoring it will bring back the corruption.

Thanks for suggestions to this problem which I, too, am experiencing on my iPhone 5S. Google maps became wonky and I deleted it. Now unable to download it from App store. Have confirmed that there's suffiicient memory. Tried closing app store and forced restart. Same thing still happening-- little download symbol (cloud with downward pointing arrow) blinks and then reappears without the download beginning. What am I doing wrong?? Appreciate any help you can provide.

All I can suggest are trying the steps I recommended above.
