App store won't update any apps

I noticed a while ago I had updates for some apps through the app store so set them all to update. Now it is maybe 3/4 weeks later and everything has frozen and I don't know how to fix it - I can't open or use many of my apps due to this. A couple of the apps do say "downloading" but they have been at this same stage for a while now. My app store won't even open anymore and I just get the little refresh symbol no matter how long I leave it for. Can anyone help? I've added some pictures so you can see what's happening.

Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Sometimes the cause of the problem may be an outage in Apple's network, in which case none of the steps below will have any effect. You just have to wait for the outage to be fixed. That should rarely, if ever, take more than a few hours.
Step 1
Sign in to the App Store by selecting Sign In from the Store menu. If you're already signed in, sign out and then sign in again.
Step 2
Log out or restart the computer.
Step 3
Remove or disable "LittleSnitch" or any similar third-party software that blocks outgoing network connections according to the developer's instructions.
Step 4
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode.)
Step 5
If possible, connect to a different network and test.
Step 6
There are reports that resetting the PRAM may solve the problem in some cases. I can't confirm.

Hey Duddy1888,
Thanks for the question. Try changing your payment information to “None”. If you are unable to select “None” as a payment option, see the following resource:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366
Using an existing iTunes Store or App Store account
If you have an unpaid balance or payment due, you can't select None as your payment type. To see which order you need to pay for, view your purchase history. When you sign in to the store, you may see a message that there was a billing issue with your last order. Click the Billing Info button to see the order.
After you pay for the order, you can change your payment information to None.

WHy wont my app store install or update any apps?

when i try to install an app a grey box comes up that says waiting then dissappears after a while without installing the app. When i try to update my apps, it does the process of updating them but then still says they need to be updated no matter how many times i do it. By that i mean it asks for my password and then the boxes come up saying waiting then installing but then the app store still says they need to be updated. The only way i can update my apps is to delete them and re install them but paid apps that ive had to delete to update say i need to pay for them again. Whats going on?

I did not authorize 2 in app purchases and because my credit card is at its limit, and i dont know how to reverse the in app purchases, i cannot update any app or do just about anything in the appstore or itunes store. I paid for apps, i demand my updates

I did not authorize 2 in app purchases and because my credit card is at its limit, and i dont know how to reverse the in app purchases, i cannot update any app or do just about anything in the appstore or itunes store. I dont care if i owe apple's itunes appstore a few dollars over 2 in app purchases i never meant to download in fact the whole app itself i wanted to delete...but out of the hundreds (maybe lower thousands) fof dollars in music and apps and whatever else, that i rightfully purchased over the passed couple of years....should *NOT* have the upgrades and/or previous purchased songs withheld from me over $3 in accidently purchased add ons through an existing app i deleted an disliked anyway

I have a 4S and upgraded to iOS 6 last week without any issues.
Have you tried resetting your phone (hold the power and home buttons down together until the silver apple appears)?

Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

The app store will not update my apps.

The app store will not update my apps. I keep clicking update all but it just spins for hours. I have restarted the computer and the store multiple times but it just hangs on updates. Suggestions?

De nada amigo.
Thank You for extending the courtesy of awarding points to comments that are helpful or provide answers in the Apple Support Communities, as this is not mandatory, but it is much appreciated!

App Store shows an update for App I didn't purchase

App Store shows an update for App I didn't purchase.
Below is a snapshot of how it looks like.
Why is there an update when I don't even have the app ?
If I click the Update button , the message I got is this :
and I have no idea what's going on.

Thanks DahVeed, it all make sense now. No-wonder someone elses e-mail ID was showing up.
I never advocate the usage of pirated apps, as being a software developer myself I understand the difficulty of creating apps and when people use it without purchasing them.
I can confirm that the app is now deleted from the external hard disk (which belongs to my friend).

App store won't install any updates

App Store say 16 Updates but nothing happens. WiFi works but the update screen stays blank.

The problem could very well be on Apple's end...maybe a server issue with the App Store. I just checked my iPhone 5 updates under Wi-Fi and get nothing but a white "Updates" screen with the busy cog spinning endlessly. Everything else loads fine...web pages & all other aspects of the iTunes Store. Updates is the only thing that is not working.
Checking the System Status page (http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/) show no issues, however it may not have been updated/Apple is not yet aware of the issue.

App Store won't load any games

Why isn't my App Store letting me download any free app's and games

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

App store won't update

I continually get notifications that I have software updates, when I click to update I am taken to the App Store. At that point All i see is this.
I only have the one account that I use for my iPhone, iPad and this Mac. And also.. The iPhoto and iMovie are always listed as needing to be updated. How do I fix this!?

App store tries to update an app that doesn't need updating

I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1. For the last week or so whenever I try to update apps using the app store's "Update All" button I get an error saying:
Schwab Mobile and 1 other app cannot be purchased.
After which point the Schwab app is grayed out with a "Loading" bar on it. The weird thing is that Schwab is already up to date, the version I have installed is 2.1.1.1 which according to the app store is the latest. Also the app is not in the list of apps that the app store wants to update. The app will become unusable while in this state since it never actually loads. The only way out of it is to do a hard reset of the iphone using the home and sleep buttons. The next time I try to update any app on the phone the same thing happens again. I should add that all other updates complete just fine, they load and install and come back for use.
I've tried deleting and re-installing the Schwab app (which it can do just fine). I've also tried syncing the phone with my mac, nothing seems to help. It's mildly annoying to have to do a hard-reset after every time I update any app in order to get something I frequently use like Schwab back.
Any ideas what's up and how to fix it? I don't know how to make the app store realize that it doesn't need to be purchased or updated or whatever.
Thanks for any help!

Could you turn on automatic downloads on your phone and then trigger the download in iTunes?

The App Store will not update my apps. I keep getting An error occurred while downloading the updates.(102) What could resolve this issue?

My App Store is no longer updating my apps or my OS. I keep getting this message: An error occurred while downloading the updates.(102) What could be the reason for this issue and what will resolve it?

I believe its an auth error. If you tried signing in and out of the app store and downloading a free app (typical fixes) and it persists, try downloading the updates manually. If youre trying to get the Mountain Lion updates the link for 10.8.1 is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1571 and if you already have 10.8.1 and youre trying to update to 10.8.2 the link is here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1580 a supplemental update came for the 10.8.2 which can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1600
Like I said before, the error isnt that your software or hard drive is corrupt, it has to do with your AppleID authenticating the download, especially because OS updates are part of the Mac App Store. If you know your way around your system libraries or root libraries you can possibly fix it by deleting specific files that may be corrupted, otherwise you're going to want to back up your data and reinstall the OS.
Good luck!

Mac app store will not update my apps

I try repeatedly to update aperture to 3.x.x and the app store keeps saying there has been an error and try again later ... for about 2 months!

Thanks for your response ...
Aperture was purchased from app store. Was updated to 3.2.1 and again to 3.2.3 but will not update to 3.3
I get an ' error at app store, can not update at this time (13)'
Just wondering if it's on my end or something at the app store.
Why would the app store inform me of the update but not let me get it?
Best regards, T.
