App updates refusing to download

There are three apps which have updates advised for download.  But they will not download.
I am about to fly out for two weeks and will not have access to my pc and iTunes.
While the three apps hang in "waiting" I cannot use therm.
There seems to be no way to cancel an update or to diagnose the reason for the glitch.
Or is there?
I am using an airport lounge and this has not been a problem here, before.
Thank you,
Ron

First I would try to reset network settings, then Reset iPad by holding down the Home and sleep buttons until the Apple logo appears. If both of those fail you could as a last resort try the next steps. It might just be the wifi settings of the access point you are connected to preventing you from downloading them.
Backup your iPad to iCloud. Then delete the Apps and redownload them and then restore from backup. When you redownload the Apps they should be at the current version and the restore from backup will put back any in App data.

  • App updates won't download...error purchasing app message on 8.1.3

    hello, since 3-4 days I notice that app updates aren't downloading on my iPad air 2. I have iOS 8.1.3. I see the message "error purchasing this app" being displayed wherever I tap the update button. When i do "update all",  nothing happens...I have tried resetting to default functions, without any resolution..appreciate any help I can get with this issue. Thanks, BVPai

    Hi, Bvpai.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that you are unable your Apps via the App Store on your iPad.  Here is the troubleshooting article that I would go through when experiencing this issue.
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time. 
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clickingCheck for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guidefor your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • HT201412 app updates will not download what is the solution ?

    app updates will not download

    I am having a similiar issue, but I am not getting any error messages.  The App Store tells me I have updates.  I go to update all, then they just hang in limbo. 
    The first app listed was Pages which I thought was causing the problem as it requires Mt. Lion and I don't have that yet.  None of the other apps would update.  I deleted Pages from the ipad and tried again.  When I go to the App store from my MBP, it tells me there are no updates, so I can't even download them to the computer.  The ipad still tells me I have updates.  I click the "update all" button but now, only one app loads at a time and I must wait awhile and repeat the update all to have another one load.  I have not experienced this at all since I've owned it - over a year.  Any insight would be helpful - trying to avoid Restore if possible.  Thank you-

  • IPod touch 3rd Gen won't finish app updates or movie download.

    App updates would get stuck and stop downloading, so after trying different things I have restored to factory 5.01 without restoring any apps or data. That didn't work. App downloads hang, App updates hang. Movie downloads then after processing and seemingly finished stops with with "Unable to download now could not be downloaded this time"
    I have tried external power and without, on, locked and always unlocked.  Nothing works. I have managed to get one app download in about 30 trys and zero movies.
    Please don't say something lame like "you can connect it to your itunes and download them there and synch"  What is the point of that?
    I do this exact same stuff on the same network, same account, same wifi, with two ipads, two iphone 4's, and a 4th gen touch.  This device has always had update isues especially more than 2 or 3 apps.
    Since all my other devices work, it seems this ipod touch may have had a problem since the get-go. But, it still could be something like the way it this exact device is handled on my account at Apple or something.
    What can I do?

  • New software update still not downloading.  Apps updates have all downloaded since iTunes issue resolved.  Is the software issue also related to this, or is there another problem?  This is on my iPhone 6, not my Mac.

    Trying to download the iOS 8.2 software update on my iPhone 6, but it won't update.  All app updates have resolved since the iTunes issue was resolved.  Is the software update issue related to this as well, or is it another problem entirely?
    I've synced it to iTunes, turned it off/on, etc., but still not downloading.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi DebC64,
    So is the iOS 8.2 update not downloading to your iPhone, computer or both?
    You have synced it to iTunes, that is an option to update if it's not updating wirelessly.  Please see if other steps help.

  • Apps updates are not downloading in iOS7

    I downloaded iOS7 on my iPhone 5 (Verizon) 32GB. I still have 14GB of free storage space.
    Few days ago I clicked in the app store and noticed 17 updates.
    I clicked on "Update all" and nothing was happening. I then clicked on each "update" button next to the apps and nothing happened.
    I have the blue circle that is rotating. It stops after a little while without updating the apps.
    The crazy thing I can install without problem new apps. The problems is related to existing one.
    I tried to find individual updates under purchased apps (remember the apps updates issues couple of month ago). Same issue.
    I click on resetting the networks, same issue.
    I tried to uninstall the app then reinstall it, same issue.

    Hello cdcor,
    It sounds like you are unable to update or download apps. They appear to get stuck or otherwise become unresponsive. I have a few recommendations to try here. First, close all the open apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App stores, and restart the phone and re test the issue:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

  • App updates will not download

    How can I get app updates that are not downloading?  The downloading bar is greyed out and I have 9 apps in queue

        @Stevec0331
    I always enjoy looking at what applications are ready to be updated. Often times these updates bring about great new features to the device. I notice that were working an Apple device. Once you head into the App Store, it will advise to Update All or you may individually tap update for each app. I would ensure that a data connection or wi-fi connection is available while processing the update of applications. I'm sure you will find this information beneficial.

  • App updates and iBook downloads stay on pause

    Several app updates and some iBook downloads show "pause" instead of downloading. I can't delete them or start them. Any ideas?

    See if you have something in iTunes that did not completely download that might be causing the jam in the app store or iBooks. If you do find something -  finish that download.
