    Greetings, everyone! I wanted to know if this is something I can fix without resetting my iPhone 4s: every time I download any sort of app, I get the prompt from the app store telling me that the app Pinterest cannot be purchased at this time even if that app has been installed already! I have attached a screenshot so you can have an idea of the message I keep receiving. Thank you for your time everyone!

    Happens a lot on most iPhones, for whatever reason. Just hit OK and disregard. Question: have you already hit "OK" and did you have any problems afterwards? In other words, are you saying that you have a problem after getting that message or is it just annoying to you?

    Greetings! Thank you for responding. I do hit okay every time and it still pops up. I have tried deleting and re-installing the application and that doesn't help at all. This doesn't impair the phone in any way it's just an annoyance - it pops up every time I install any other application! Thank you once again for your time - at least I know it's a common problem.

    Yes, md... as long as you can press on with your iPhone and all works well, these minor annoyances are just something to live with. Happens everywhere. Note: I assume that your "Unable to purchase..." message doesn't prevent you from actually purchasing apps or updating them.... Right?

    Hi, I'm having the same issue but different app name, each time I download an app a message pops up to say a previous app that I have installed can't be downloaded at this time. I'm using an ipad2 .

    Did you find a solution?

    A limit? Never read anywhere that a limit exists in the number of apps allowed and I have about 3gb free on my iPad
