anyone having problems updating apps?

[DrFillster]

I keep get network timed out messages when I try to update my apps on my PC. Everything else works fine. I can buy apps, songs, etc. I can update apps from my iphone.

Just can't update them from my PC. Any ideas?

TIA,

Phil

That's weird. Ordinarily you'd just figure, well, the App Store servers must be overloaded, it's the holidays and all the new iDevice owners are buying apps. But that should affect the other devices as well, I would think. Interesting to see if any experts have insight into this.

What version of iTunes do you use? try to update it to the newest version.

are you using google's dns servers? if so, there's a widely known issue that's occurred recently with slow itunes downloads/timing out.

No, I have no problems updating my apps at all.

Are you sure your doing it right?

I'm having some strange problems as well. I haven't had an app update for over almost two weeks, which is very unusual. Usually I get multiple updates a day. Also, when searching apps on my iPhone the first 25 or so say "No Ratings". If I scroll down far enough I start to see ratings. Weird...

What has worked best for me is to wait until I'm on WiFi. Then my updates go fast and smooth.

Sometimes I get stuck in "installing" then have to reboot the device to finish installation, what a major PIA.
