For a couple days now, whenever I try to download an app from the App Store on my iPhone 5s with iOS 8.3, it brings up the 'use existing Apple ID' or 'create new one' window.
When I select the existing one and fill in my account information it closes the pop up window and starts to download the app (indicated by the circle starting to turn) but after one second it goes right back to the 'get' button.
When I try to download it again it all goes to square one. İt has been driving me nuts! İts like a vicious circle!

Dec 5, 2018 - If apps don't load or update on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, learn what to do. You can also open the App Store and tap Updates to see.
From the Apple help site at: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201400 it recommended
Make sure that your date, time, and time zone are correct. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
My settings were correct. However I turned off the automatic date/time/timezone feature to make the date and time zone setting be manual.
Why Can T I Download From App Store
Voila, I could connect to the iTunes/App store. I had turned my phone off and on several times. I really wanted to avoid doing a reset. So I've escaped it for now.
You could do much the same on the website but probably wouldn't (at least me). Mcmaster carr catalogue free download for windows 10. You can thumb through it and make note of a tool or something you want to keep in stock. It's not either. I use to get their catalogs at work (2003 being the last) and like the Grainger catalog there is stuff in there that I didn't know existed or had forgotten. Yes they do have an excellent website.
Go to Settings> iTunes & AppStore > Password Settings > slide the 'Require Password' switch. This worked for me for free apps.
Go to your setting, change your language to some other than your default one, let it respring and after that change back to your default language. After that it should be ok again
Whenever there is strange behaviour that doesn't seem to resolve itself, this tends to indicate that the device is hung up with respect to the sequence of steps that it needs to complete.
To force the device to take a fresh start at doing the task, you should restart the device.
A solution to many strange iOS problems is to back up and restore the device. I saw this issue on an iPad before, and could find no solution besides restoring it.
I'm having the same issue and I'm pretty sure it started with the last iOS update. One workaround I've found has been to purchase the app from iTunes on my computer. Then, go to the Updates tab in the App Store on your phone and click on Purchased items at the top. The app will be available there for download.
The only issue I'm having, and cannot resolve, is that I cannot make any in-app purchases and that's not something that can be done on a computer. Any thoughts on how to solve that?
Try changing the Language setting on your phone, then change it back again to your normal language.
Settings > General > Language & Region > iPhone Language
I had a similar problem and after trying various things, the language swap fixed it.
For reference, other possible fixes for problems like this (in rough order of how annoying they are to do):
- Kill the App Store:
Double tap the Home button, then swipe up on the App Store app - Restart the phone:
Hold Home and Power buttons for about 5 seconds until phone reboots and Apple logo appears - Log out of App store and then sign back in:
Settings > iTunes & App Store > AppleID, then Sign Out - Reset All Settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
NOTE: This will delete lots of settings but NOT your data.
Look for what has recently changed on your device. Barbarians at the gate audiobook download. I realized I have installed DeDirect and the IAPFree standalone plugin in Cydia (there were updates of the latter in Cydia). I removed DeDirect first but didn't fix the issue. After remiving the IAPFree stuff all went back to normal and AppStore download worked again. Have now reinstalled just the IAPFree standalone plugin and will wait for the next update to come through the Appstore. As a general rule, always think of what has changed since last time it worked. Feedback and let us know if that fixed it for you. Thanks
If you are trying to download a free item from the App Store this WILL help.
Settings > iTunes and App Store > Password settings > go from 'always require' to 'require after 15 minutes' > switch the 'require password' selection from on to off .
Try changing the Language setting on your phone, then change it back again to your normal language.
Settings > General > Language & Region > iPhone LanguageThis work me iPhone5 IOS8.3
If you are having trouble downloading or updating apps from the App Store, try using your Touch ID instead of your Apple password. Settings>Touch ID & Passcode then turn on the iTunes & App Store option.Cheers!

The other day I was trying to install an application on my Windows PC, but it failed. If Windows Store apps or games are not downloading or installing on your Windows 10/8 computer here are a few things you could try to make the apps will download or install successfully. This post will even help you if it installs about 50% and then just gets stuck there – with or without an error code being displayed. The error message could be something like:
Something happened and this app couldn’t be installed. Please try again.
Cannot download or install Apps from Windows Store
After hours of research I found that the solution to the problem was rather simple, and so I thought of sharing it here. There are multiple reasons why this could happen. I’ll list all of them are so that you can try each option and see which one works for you.
1] Windows Firewall is disabled
It seems like, if the Windows Firewall is disabled, you will not be able to install the application from Windows Store. So the first thing you have to check is whether the Windows Firewall is turned off or not. To access type in Firewall in Start Search, and click on the result to open it. You could also navigate it as follows – Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsWindows Firewall. Here you have to make sure that it is turned on.
Why Can't I Download Games From App Store
If some strange reason you’re unable to turn on Windows Firewall, open Services Manager and check if the Windows Firewall service is stopped. Type services.msc and click on Services, and look for Windows Firewall. Now make sure that the service is set to Automatic and Started.

So make sure you have the correct date, time. You can change it from Regional Settings from the Control Panel.
3] Licensing on Windows Store is not synced
If the licensing on the Windows Store is not synced properly, you will not be able to install apps on your Windows computer. To manually sync it:
- Go to Windows Store

Now reboot the system and try to download again.
4] Change your Internet connection and see

5] Reset Windows Store cache
You may reset your Windows Store cache and then try to download or install the app.
5] Run the Troubleshooters
The Windows 10 Store Apps Troubleshooter is a great built-in tool from Microsoft which can help you with apps installation problems. You may want to run that and see if that helps. This automated tool will help you if your Windows 10 Store is not working.
