My iPhone 4 can't download any apps. There's a warning message that says 'couldn't download the app at this time' and 'done' and 'retry'. What can I do?
Feb 1, 2019 - Apple iPhone 6s Plus cannot download or update apps [Potential Solutions. “I am unable to download any updates to apps on my phone. Question: Q: can't download apps on new iphone 6 Not sure if this is the correct place to post but. Just got my new iPhone 6 and I can't seem to download anything from the app store.
Simply double tap the icon of the app that you are unable to download and wait for a few seconds. Your download should resume.
Tap Settings > General > Date and Time > Set Automatically > and slide to turn off “Set Automatically”. Manually set the date one year ahead. Now try to re-download the apps. If you get an error message, go back to turn on “Set Automatically” then try to download the apps again.
Restart your iOS device. Simply press and hold the on/off (sleep/wake) button until you see the red slider and slide the slider to turn your device off. To turn back on, press and hold the on/off button until the Apple logo appears.
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Your Apple ID > Sign Out. Restart your device, then Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and then on again.
Reset Network Settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings, and then your iDevice will restart. Note that will reset all network settings including your Wi-Fi passwords.
Reset your device by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the Home button together until you see the Apple logo.

Here's one I found on apple.com
Click done when the Done icon show up
Turn on airplane mode
Wait 15 second
Disbaled Airplane mode
Enjoy It And i promise that it will never happen again to your device
Warning: sometimes this does not work
It works better on an iPad device.

Generally a hard reboot will fix that.. To force restart your device, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home button for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

Try connecting to a VPN and then retry downloading or updating.
I had tried many of the suggestions found here, as well as on discussions.apple.com, none of which worked for me. Some suggestions recommended fiddling with wifi, resetting network settings and setting the DNS to 8.8.8.8. I couldn't imagine what most of those suggestions would have to do with the problem. But, I noticed that the common denominator to many suggestions revolved around networking. So, it gave me the idea to try the VPN app on my phone. I tried that and Bingo! Just connecting to the VPN allowed me to complete the update.
To be clear about how I connected to a VPN, I used the PIA app from Apple's App Store. I'm sure there are many VPN options. But, the point is that the connection was made to a VPN server from a VPN client residing on my iPhone. This is an iPhone 5S, by the way.

In my case, I just downgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 6.1.3 and was unable to install any app (I can browse in Safari, view App Store etc. however). I tried all solution in the top 2 answers, as well as re-flashed iOS 6.1.3 again, but all to no avail.
Finally, I set up a VPN connection and was delighted that it began to download apps. I also set up an HTTP proxy and it also worked.
IMO, if you have tried Airplane Mode and signing-out then signing-in to your Apple ID and both don't work - go get some VPN or proxy - your network is doing something wacky that you won't solve with your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. This should particularly be considered if your App Store region doesn't match your location (see below).
It could be that the Communist Party just outright blocked some of App Store's functionality (Note: my Apple ID's region is set to United States, instead of where I live (mainland China)).

So every single app I used on my iPhone 5 got downloading music does not work on my 6. It doesn't even let me download on apps like iDownloader, MyMP3, TDownloader, etc. Is there a reason for this? Are there any apps that I can download music from YT on? I go to the downloading app and copy the YT link into the youtube to mp3 sites and it won't let me download it. Can anyone help me out please? Intel 8 series chipset driver.
Yes there's a reason. What you're doing is called stealing. This is the digital equivalent of going to store and stealing a CD. Now, unlike stealing a physical disc, no one seems to care about downloading an mp3 file without paying.
Apple got rid of these apps because they help you break the law. Apple would most likely be sued millions of dollars for something like this, so they got rid of those apps.
You can, however, use your computer and download your music, and put it on your iPhone through iTunes. It's inconvenient, but that's the price you pay for using Apple's 'walled garden'. If you had an Android device, then this would be much, much easier.
Why won't my new iphone 5 download my music when plugged into my laptop? My old iphone 4 downloaded just fine. Normally I take the music I didn't buy from itunes and just 'select all then drag and drop into my iphone folder thing on iTunes' and it would be added and it was easy for me to do this, is this now not working because I have IOS 7? Everytime I try to drag my music into the iphone place like I used to it just won't let me. What do I do?
Why can't I download new music to my iPhone 5s? I downloaded the most recent software for the 5s and now I'm having trouble putting new music onto my device. I use a youtube to mp3 converter and the music goes directly on my iTunes. It is allowing me to play the music through iTunes, but every time I try to put it on my iPhone it says it is updated but skips right over the song when I click on it and sometimes disappears. How do I fix this? I just want to listen to some new music!
Why can't I download music on my iPhone? I've downloaded music before but now it says that I have to answer security questions. I didn't have to answer security questions when I signed up. Do I have to make a new account?
Why can't I download music on my iphone 4? My iphone is 1 year and 8 months old. Today I downloaded 1 song then I tried to download another and it wouldn't let me.
