I was really, really hoping that iTunes 10 might have solved a long-running bug in my user experience, but alas it remains just as annoying as ever whenever I go to update apps.
The scenario is:
- Check for updates to apps.
- When told there are updates available, go and view them.
- Click to download all available updates.
- Get two error messages.
- Click to download all available updates.
- Updates download without asking for iTunes account password.
Now, it could be that somewhere along the line, iTunes was changed so that if they’re free updates you’re not prompted for your password, but I wouldn’t know, since I’ve been suffering the double-error message now for ages – and despite having followed the various suggestions in the Apple support forums, I’m no closer to a resolution on this vexing problem.
Here’s the errors:
If this only happened once or twice I a month, I probably wouldn’t give a damn. And in fact, that’s how it started. But now it happens every single time I try to update apps from within iTunes. So these days I tend to update from my iPhone and iPad instead, and double-download be damned.
