I can’t download apps

I have this problem


1: I open the apple store and click an App I want to get (usually free)

2: I click get and the app info tab appears

3: I enter my apple password and tap the sign in button

4:the button darkens as to signify I tapped it but doesn’t respond and the question mark button does the same , the only button that works is the “cancle“ button

How do I fix this? I’m also supposed to have a little box that will ask permission to download the app to show up and it never does .

Device or computer?


Device


Do you have access to another network where you can try to log in? That has worked for several people.


Try a restart.



Try a forced restart.


Reset Device


Reset – iPhone 7



Hard reset


Computer


Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. Also try the Safe Mode.


Safe Mode - About El Capitan
also Sierra


Safe Mode Startup – El Capitan. also Sierra


If it works in the Safe Mode, try running this program when booted normally and then copy and paste the output in a reply. The program was created by Etresoft, a frequent contributor. Please use copy and paste as screen shots can be hard to read. Click “Share Report” button in the toolbar, select “Copy to Clipboard” and then paste into a reply. This will show what is running on your computer. No personal information is shown.

Do you mean that you are a member of a Family Sharing group and you are supposed to get an Ask To Buy approval? If so, that approval is going to the Organizer's device, and needs to be OK'd there.
