Background Knowledge

When trying to download apps (applications) for an iPhone or iPad using iTunes a message appears stating the following.

There was a problem downloading “App Name Here”. The file seems to be corrupted. To redownload the file, choose “Check for Available Downloads” from the Store menu.

It appears that some apps will download fine yet others will not.

Solution

I unfortunately can not give exact steps on how to resolve this issue. However based on my recent experience I can strongly advise that majority of the time this issue is related to a firewall, anti-virius and/or spyware/malware protection software/hardware configuration. These services weather software or hardware are blocking some or all of your app downloads. Refer to your software or hardware logs and configuration so that you can allow this specific traffic through. Once this is done there will no longer be an issue downloading iPhone or iPad apps.
