My iPhone Apps Won't Update

The iPhone is the first cell phone made by Apple. One of the iPhone's biggest selling points is its large library of third-party applications available for download. The iPhone, like any electronic device, has issues, including applications occasionally not properly installing or updating.

Instructions

    • 1

      Turn off your iPhone. Leave the iPhone off for one minute and power it back on. Allow it to fully load and see if the applications update.

    • 2

      Uninstall the applications that are not updating by connecting your iPhone to your computer or laptop and launching iTunes.

    • 3

      Re-sync the applications using iTunes. Turn the iPhone off and power it on again. Wait to see if the apps reload and update.

Tips & Warnings

  • Make sure the phone is not attempting to connect to another network. This may cause a delay or stoppage of application updates.

  • Attempt to synchronize or "sync" the applications. If the sync fails, uninstall one app and sync the iPhone again, then reinstall the application.
