'Too many open files." when updating an app

Same here...

I have no idea what this is, but when I try to download or update an app, I keep getting the same message...this has never happen before from what I know of....but it's pissing me off big time.

I'm not sure why it's doing this but I am getting the same message also. It's happening while trying to update the Draw Something app.

This is happening to me too. Just started today. iPhone 4. Closed all background apps and reset phone. Still get the error. Can't update ANY apps now.

happening to me for the first time --rebooting iPAD did not fix it

lol

very funny

Just got this for the first time ever, on my iPad (newest model).

Huh. Disturbing.

Based on this thread and Apple's support forums, seems like it's not exactly an isolated problem (I'm suffering the same problem too). Almost certainly on the Apple end of things. Tried three times to download an app. Hope I don't wind up with a $3 bill

Fixed. Guess it was temporarily down for everybody for a couple hours. I'm updating apps once again.

Whatever it is/was, my app updated just fine a moment ago.
Anybody else?
Also, for me it was the Twitter app. The same for anybody else?

Thanks for posting. For me it wasn't Twitter (it's next), I was buying the card game Ascension. (on sale for the first time, BTW... hope it's good).
