After trying recommended fixes, iPad apps still do not update

I am having an issue where my iPad apps do not update. I go to the app store, select update all, and enter my password. The black lines appear under the appropriate apps, but stay black. New apps also do not download. My network connection appears to be fine. This happened another time a month or so ago and I had to completely reset my iPad to fix it. Since this is becoming common, I do not want to have to keep starting from scratch for the fix. I have looked at many recommendations online and have tried them. Here is what I have unsuccessfully tried:
I signed out of the store on my iPad, restarted and signed back in.
I reset the settings.
I updated and synced my apps from iTunes on my computer.
I updated to the latest version of iTunes.
If someone could provide a permanent fix, I would appreciate it. I would prefer not to have to completely reset my iPad once a month.

Try this:
Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.
Do any of the app icons say Waiting. If so, tap on an app icon that says Waiting.

  • Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different plug sockets, different plugs/cables, help

    Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box that came with it but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different mains plug sockets around the house with no joy, I have tried different USB mains plugs but again no joy, I tried using my new iPad cable into the USB port of my MacBook Pro laptop but still no joy, then, I tried using my old iPod classic cable into my MacBook Pro and that worked, so I have a way of charging my new iPad3 but its not practical as i have to take my MacBook Pro everywhere if I want to charge it which kind of defeats the object of having an iPad, has anybody experienced anything similar and how was it fixed? can anybody help me please...

    Grumpy Gator,
    Please note it did say at the store's discretion, but people have actually been able to return it to the on-line store. (I only saw a couple who tried.)
    And given the outcry, I would think Apple might have other Apple stores join in. Just in case, though, if you can, you might bring it in today.
    If it's an ARS, my guess is they can stick to their 14 day return. Apple cannot force them to do it. SO if it's not bought directly from Apple, and it's past the 14 day deal, I'd bring it in to the store today if you have one. When I gave people the cnet.com site, I gave it so people could read it and know only Apple had made the decision for Apple. And I suggested to some that an Apple reseller would probably stick with their own return policy.
    Because Arnie had just bought his, he should be able to return it to Apple or an ARS because an ARS has to have some kind of full refund or at least return for credit within 7 or 14 days of purchase.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT4943 My magazine will not open on iPad.  It will open on iPhone. Tried deleting on iPhone, but still will not open on iPad. Running latest ios6.

    Magazine ( Dirt Bike mag ) will not open on iPad.  It will open on iPhone. Tried deleting on iPhone, but still will not open on iPad. Running latest ios6.  Used to work on iPad. Seems to try to open then goes back to main iPad screen. Perhaps began acting up when updated and cleaned up iPad or when recently installed on iPhone5. It works on iPhone now, but no longer on iPad. Deleted from iPhone, but still no workie. Downloaded from cloud back to iPhone. Works there, but not iPad.

    What are the attachments? If they're a file type the ipad can't natively open then you could have issues and may need an app to handle them.

  • My iphone 4s will not allow me to open any apps that I have downloaded. I have tried a few things but still will not allow me to open. Shows they are open once pushing the home button twice. Please help!

    My iphone 4s will not allow me to open applcations that I have downloaded. I have tried a few things but still will not allow me to open. Shows they are open once pushing the home button twice. Please help!

    Pressing the Home button twice does not show you what apps are running. It shows you what apps were recently used.
    Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again.

  • After the Aperture update this week, the app still will not open!!!!!!

    If you want us to be able to help, we will need a little bit more information.
    What exactly happens, when you try?
    Do you get an error message, if yes, what is the message?
    Does Aperture hang or crash? If it is crashing, post the crash log here - copy and paste the first 60 lines of the crash log into your post, not a screenshot please.

    After installing IOS 6 my Iphone 4s continues to shut down on me after trying to use any app. I've backed up and rebooted, nothing helps. Can anyone help??

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

    Try to plug it into itunes and click 'restore'. After the restore is complete, set the ipad up as a new one, NOT as a backup. This way it can install new software. Let me know if that works.

  • My iPad 2 still can't  update

    My iPad 2 still can't update. It gives a msg that d update server can't be contacted after I disabled d firewall and d antivirus but I had an Internet connection.

  • I have an iPhone 4 that i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access all my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? It is also on the same apple id, but i dont know if that would help with anything.

    I have an iPhone 4 thats i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? Aslo the are both on the same apple id but i dont know if that would help or not.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
    Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
    If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
    Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes?  If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

  • I have an Ipad 2 and have about 20 apps that will not update, How can I delete these?

    I have some apps that will not update on my IPad 2.  They say they are installing, but Installing is grey..not black, and they have been like this for several weeks.  I cannot find out how to finish the updates or delete them.  Can someone suggest a solution?  Thanks, Ann

    You can only delete them one at a time on the iPad. If you have an IMAP email account, go to your email in on the server using a web browser and select as many as you can at a time and delete them that way. That action will be reflected on the iPad. In IMAP - whatever you do on one device syncs across all devices. If you have POP email - start deleting one at a time.

    (Win XP SP2 n above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in

    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

    I have several apps that are not updating, they are stuck saying "waiting".

    Are you downloading music?
    Check by going to iTunes (on iDevice) > downloads and then remove the one that is trying to download, this will then make the others download and when they are finished, the apps will update/install
