Hi mame146


Wondering what the error message said ... could point to the solution.


Here are a few possibilities:


(1) You might want to check you are signed in (to your device) with your Apple ID:

Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support


(2). For the first time you use the App Store, 

you need a payment method in your Apple ID account, even for free apps.

How to: Add a payment method to your Apple ID - Apple Support


(3) Check if settings have a restriction on purchases:

Manage App Store purchases, subscriptions, settings, and restrictions on iPhone – Apple Support


(4). What to do:

If you can't connect to the App Store, iTunes Store or other Apple services – Apple Support


or

(5). If a message says 'Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes' - Apple Support


(6) How to: Get apps in the App Store on iPhone – Apple Support


(7) What to do: If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


All the best :-)
