Apps on iPad 2 will not update?

I have several updates available on my iPad2 and I cannot get them to update.  It will say "Waiting" or will just be faded out with the loading bar below it, but they will not load.  I have tried the following:
-Signing out of my iPad and signing back in
-Signing out of my iPad, restarting it, and signing back in
-Connecting to iTunes and "check for downloads"
-Updating it to 5.0.1
-Syncing it
-Checking iCloud for the apps to re-download
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thank you.

I let it waste an hour or two of my time trying to figure it out, then backed up in iTunes and restored.  Had to update too, better not lose the ability to jailbreak when it comes out for the A5 chipset.
I'm not mad at Apple.  Problems like this rarely happen, though when they do options are pretty limited.  On Android it probably would have been much easier to clear caches or update the app or at least view the log and see whats happening and to fix the problem, but problems like this would be coming up a lot more frequently.  First problem I've had since buying an iPad in August.  I'll take it.

  • Apps on iPad Air will not update

    Since about Oct 14, none of may apps will update, nor can any new apps be installed. Update is pressed and it just hangs there (zero progress). I suspect in a day or two all of my apps will need updating. Worst case, some apps will not run without the latest update.
    I have tried restarting, reseting the device, and deleting the last app that was successfully updated.  None of these worked.
    Specs
    iPad Air, 32 GB. OS 8.0.2.
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Quick update, the duplicate of the comic-con episode downloaded succesfully, and so has the first episode of Supernatural season 8. Blue dots appear to their left in the library.
    All the Vampire Diaries episodes (except the bonus comic-con double) have vanished, but I paid for them !
    They're not anywhere on my harddrive either.
    Which is new by the way, this is a new MacbookPro, literally set it up today.
    So it would seem this is a case of purchased and pseudo-downloaded episodes that ended up beinge gobbled up by some iTunes black hole, leaving me with no money, and no episodes.
    Need help, confirmed.

  • IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, many apps require iOS 6.0 or later. also since updating to 5.1.1 safari frequently crashes.

    My IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, however many apps require iOS 6.0 or later what can I do?
    Also, since updating to 5.1.1 Safari frequently crashes.  Help!!!!!!

    5.1.1. is the end of the line for the original iPad. You can't go beyond that. As for the safari crashes, is it tied to specific websites? Have you tried clearing the cache and history?

  • My ipad 2 will not update.

    My ipad 2 will not update in the app store.  I have to manually update each app.  It will also not sync to my computer for back up so I am afaid to restore it.  How can I fix this?

    There are many posts about this same issue. Apparently there's a problem with the Apple app site. You'll just have to wait and try again later.

  • IPad 2 will not update from version 4.3.5 (8L1).

    I got an iPad 2 from work and it will not update from version 4.3.5. There isn't even a software update option in settings. I have reset and erased it a few times, and still no update option. I have plugged it into my computer to try to update it that way and every time iTunes prompts me to download and update the latest version, it loads for a few seconds and then I get an iTunes message that says "The IPad software update server could not be contacted. Make sure your network settings are correct and your newtwork connection is active, or try again later." the network connection IS active, I can use safari, and I have "tried again later" and still no update. PLEASE HELP!

    I just upgraded my iPad 2 to 8.02 and 24 apps will not upgrade even when sinking to my MBPro through iTunes.  Everything else is fine.

  • Apps and iTunes content will not update

    iPad Gen 3, cellular and Wifi
    iOS 8.0.2
    7 GB of available space
    Itunes set to Automatically download apps, Books, & updates, but not no cellular data
    public WiFi and Private WiFi networks.
    I have 14 Apps waiting to update and my iPad (3rd Gen) with the Latest iOS 8 (8.0.2) will not down load them.  It stopped downloading any updates on the 10th, including trying to download a previously purchased TV Show and previously purchased song.   However 1 app downloaded at some point on the 13th and 2 on the 14th, but none today.  I can browse the internet, send receive mail, make FaceTime calls so connectivity is not an issue.
    If I tap UPDATE ALL, all 15 get the chasing circle icon followed buy the icon of a thin circle with a Stop square in the button...none of them ever show progress.
    Trouble Shooting so far each time trying to update all and to download a sound.:
    Fully charged, even tried while on the charger.
    Power cycled iPad
    Killed off all running apps.
    Reset (sleepwake & Home key for 10 seconds)
    Signed out and back into iTunes account
    Signed out of iTunes, reset device, signed back into iTunes.
    Any thoughts?

    Disregard the original message.  I was in the iPad community when I started writing it, no sure how it posted here instead.

  • Ipad 2 will not update or backup?

    Ever since I have had my Ipad 2, which is about 2 months ago I have never been able to back it up. I now also have the option to upgrade it to version 4.3.5 and that will not work because the back up won't work. I get the following error message.
    Itunes could not back up the iPad because the back up was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad.
    There are no old back up files for me to delete. I have tried turning off all the Anti Virus software and Firewalls.
    The only thing that has worked is all my apps seem to have synced to my Itunes okay.
    I have the latest version of Itunes and I am using a windows 7 PC.
    Any help would be most appreciated
    Thanks in advance!

    You could try this suggestion (assuming that the problem is due to a permissions issue):
    1. Navigate to the C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync
    2. Right click the "Backup" folder and select "properties".
    3. Select the Security tab
    4. Click the edit button and highlight "Everyone"
    5. Check the "Full control" checkbox and hit "Apply" and then "OK"
    6. Click "OK" again
    If this doesn't work then iTunes may not be correctly installed on your computer. Try removing all Apple software from your computer and re-installing iTunes.
