Apps on iPad Air won't update - just open

When I select UPDATE for an app in the App Store, the App opens instead of updating.   When I return to the App Store, the update remains.
This started after updating to iOS 8.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix?

I'm still on an older version of 7, but it started immediately after Apple release 8.  It's a problem with their store. 
As resetting is not an option for rme, i found one thing that sorta helps...  I make sure the store isn't running, then I launch it, then tap Updates, and then frantically tap where Update All will be.  It works maybe one out of 5 times I try, and then that works until the iPad thinks it is running out of storage space and the cycle begins again...

  • 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.

    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.

  • IPad Air won't update to OSX 8.0.2

    I have a 16GB iPad Air.
    There is not enough room left to update wirelessly to OSX 8.0.2. so I've been trying to do it via iTunes on my MBP.  All seems to go OK for first 10 minutes or so of download, but then I keep getting a message saying that there is an 'error' (unspecified) and that I should try again.  I've tried 4 times now, but nothing seems to work.
    Any thoughts/suggestion please?  Thanks.

    Hey Rachacha,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues updating applications on your device. Let’s see if we can isolate this issue further. First, try closing the App Store application:
    iOS: Force an app to close

    Next, go ahead and restart your device and test once more:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • My ipad 2 won't update apps. It shows that 2 apps need updating, but not which ones.

    My iPad 2 won't update apps. It shows that 2 apps need updating, but doesn't show which 2.

    Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

  • Hello, my mac book air won't update. Every time i try it goes onto the purple starry screen and stays that way for hours, so i just have to shut it down. I have deleted a lot on my laptop so there is enough space, please help?

    Hello, my mac book air won't update. Every time i try it goes onto the purple starry screen and stays that way for hours, so i just have to shut it down. I have deleted a lot on my laptop so there is enough space, please help?

    I believe that system has a hall sensor on it to detect when the lid is closed so it can put the system to sleep and/or disable the monitor so it can be used with an external monitor only. If the sensor is marginal or has a bad cable, it may intermittently cut the monitor on and off, and may likewise put the system to sleep. One way to check would be to plug in an external monitor and if the laptop's screen cuts off or doesn't show up, start using the trackpad and press on a non-typing key like the shift key. If the external display suddenly pops and becomes active while the laptop display remains black, it's probably a problem with the sensor or the cable/connection. You might be able to fool the sensor into kicking on and off by moving a magnet over it. It's located on the left had side of the base with the unit opened up, and right over the audio output plug.
    I know of some people that put a small magnet right over the hall sensor's location so the laptop display turns off and they use the system with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse. If fooling with magnets, make sure they're small and don't get them close to the hard drive because a strong magnet can wipe them out.
    I don't know if this will help you much, but it might.

  • My Ipad air won't turn on after the new IOS7 update

    my Ipad Air won't turn on after updating to the new IOS 7.1.1. It ask me for my password I put it in, the apple logo appear and then it want off now it won't come back on. need help please

    Did you try this?
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My iPad air won't charge at all and I don't know if it's the charger or port help!i have had a new port put in before and it worked fine after but it's not working now! I have spent way to much trying to fix this thing one problem after another?

    My iPad air won't change at all, and I don't know if it's the port or charger cable it is charging normally but it just won't charge. I have had a new port put in before after a charger getting stuck in there but it worked fine after and now it's not working at all! I don't know if maybe it's the charger getting old but I have spent far too much money on this iPad then I should have as it's one problem after another witch is causing me lots of stress.

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again.
    How are you charging it? its's best charged plugged into the wall  not via USB. So if you're trying via USB, try using the supplied power block plugged into the wall.

  • IPad air won't connect to Bluetooth speaker?

    My new iPad air will not connect to my Vizio Bluetooth speaker.  When I put both devices in discover mode, the speaker is listed on the iPad, but will not connect?  The speaker connects just fine to my iPhone, or to my older (original) iPad.  I have re-booted the iPad, and powered down(unplugged) the speaker, but no help. 

    Bluetooth on my iPad air won't find my android phone, but the phone has apparently paired with the iPad. They just won't talk. Same problem with my wife's iPad 4, won't discover anything at all! I know that Apple is known for not communicating with non Apple products but this is ridiculous. Any ideas? Thanks ;)

  • Ipad Air won't open in My Computer

    Hi,
    My Ipad Air won't open in My Computer on my PC. My Iphone and older Ipad open just fine, but my newer one won't. It shows up fine in Itunes.
    I'm trying to get on it to see about copying photos. My PC has, for some reason, converted a bunch of my photos to the .ithmb suffix and they won't open on my PC. This whole episode is baffling. Any help would be appriciated.

    Hello BHP11,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with importing photos from your iPad Air. 
    First, if the AutoPlay dialog box does not open, the following article suggests to check your settings:
    Import photos in Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Import photos or video from your device to your PC:
    Connect your iOS device to your computer. If the AutoPlay window appears, click "Import Pictures and Videos using Windows," then skip to step 4. If the "Import Pictures and Video" dialog appears, skip to step 4.
    If the AutoPlay dialog doesn't appear, you might need to check your settings.

  • IPad Air can't update to 8.0.2 because I have only 6.2 space

    iPad Air can't update to 8.0.2 because I have only 6.2 space

    I deleted a few apps, iMovie, iNumbers from device and got the space I needed. They are easily restored from "Purchased" list in iTunes. 
    After getting stuck with the pass code fiasco I posted on (see below) and reading all the problems people are reporting with iOS 8, I am thinking now is not the time to risk having my iPad locked up for this version of the operating system. Proceed with caution.

  • Apps on iPhone 5 won't update with ios8

    My apps on iPhone 5 won't update after installation of ios8.

    Hi davieg502, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that it can be frustrating when your iTunes or App Stores do not function the way you would expect, especially with application updates. In this situation I would recommend the steps located in the attached article to start the troubleshooting process. 
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    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 clicking Check 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 guide for 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.
    Cheers, 
    Joe
