Can't update apps anymore iPad 2 iOS 7.0.4

Hello, I discovered today that I am no longer able to update apps on my iPad 2 running iOS 7.0.4.  I have 10 updates listed in the app store, but if I touch the "Update" icon, it launches the app instead of updating it.  Quite frustrating.  I tried powering down and rebooting but it didn't help.  I saw there is a similar issue relating to iOS 8 and the WSJ app but I am running iOS 7 and I do not have the WSJ app.

Apple doesn't track issues on this website, as this is SOLELY a forum for "users helping other users". You won't find any Apple Support here or Apple Support interaction with you or the tracking of support issues. It's a big mistake to think this is the place to do that. Here is where you do that ...
Apple Support
http://www.apple.com/support/
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
Product Feedback
https://www.apple.com/feedback/
The last link is just for "feedback" (where you say something like ... "include this new feature in there, I would like it"). You will not get any return reply from this. The other links ARE Apple Support and when you open a ticket there, Apple DOES track issues and works on them from these trouble tickets. Do that if you want Apple to "hear you" about an issue you're having.
FYI - posting work-arounds for this issue, while your help IS appreciated, it is nevertheless besides the point. We shell out extra dough for Apple products and, personally, I expect them to work! If I wanted to bothered with a bunch of work-arounds, there are plenty of smartphones on the market that would save me a lot money. I want to hit the "Update All" button, put my iPhone down and finish what I was doing!
When there is an issue that "is" a "bug" in the iOS, then Apple will be issuing "fixes" on it. BUT ... keep in mind ... just because you have some kind of trouble ... that trouble doesn't mean it's a bug with the iOS 8. Many problems have been fixed because there is "trash" in the system files and people have cleared them out, and there is no problem after that. A corrupted file on your machine is not a "bug" that Apple fixes. Having said that ... "IF" it is a bug, then you can be assured that Apple has the engineers working on it for the next bug fix release. SO ... that means you should report the problem (so Apple can track it for their engineers) and then you should take advantage of a "work-around" in the meantime, until that bug fix comes out. But, once again not every problem is a "bug" ... keep that in mind.

  • Can't update apps on IPad 2

    Ever since I updated my IPad 2 to the new IOS 6, I can't update about 9 of my apps! Some apps update, while others say "cannot connect to the ITunes Store". I have tried everything short of restoring it! Help!

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
    In the meantime ...........

    Try this first - 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 - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Can't update apps.  Ipad asking for password to old email address

    I I'd updated my email address several months ago.  The App Store app worked fine.  Now all of a sudden it's asking me to log in using the old email address and wants the old password.  In settings for both the App Store and iTunes are correct.  I can sign out and sign in from the settings menu but cannot update my apps through the App Store app itself.  This just started today.  How do I fix this?

    IIf you got the app with your old email you can not change it, you need to update it with your old one. If you get any app with one email you can only use one email. Even if you log into your new email from itunes( scroll under and click on the email and sign out and log in with new email) it still won't let you do it with your other email. Sorry. You can not use different emails for some things.      You can go to settings-iTunes and AppStore- update apps( it means it will automatically update apps) it does work, but uses a lot of battery usage. I hve had it on for a long time but I don't mind.   hope this helped.

  • Can't update apps in iPad

    Hey gang. I've got an iPad 3 running iOS 7.0.3. All of a sudden, when I click "Update" on any app in the app store in the Updates section, it opens the app (just the "Open" button for apps that have already been updated. I've relaunched the App Store app, I've rebooted my iPad, I recently completely reset my iPad and it was working fine up until a day or so ago. PLEASE help, this is absurd. And the answer can't be update to iOS8 because I've gathered that's a gamble on an iPad 3.
    All help appreciated, thanks, Dan P.

    1. Check iTunes and see if you have a pending/stalled download e.g. Podcast, Books, Music, Movies or iTune U. Finish off the download and you should be able to update.
    If the above doesn't work:
    2. Connect to iTune; and Check for available download (under Store). When download is completed, sync to iPad.

  • Can't update apps on iPad 3

    A week ago I tried to update the three applications at the same time, but they are still stuck in ’waiting’. I can't neither open them, nor delete them, nor update them.
    I tried a lot of suggested on forums tricks, including rebooting the iPad, logout from App Store and even resetting all the settings, but nothing helped. I also don't have any stuck downloads in iTunes as you may suggest (actually I don't use it at all because I don't have Mac or PC).
    Now I have 10 other apps to update, but I don't try to update them because I don't want to lose access to them as well.

    The stuck downloads that are often referred to in iTunes are stuck downloads in iTunes on the iPad. Having a computer has nothing to do with that issue at all - other than if you had a computer running iTunes - you could finish the downloads on the computer and sync to the iPad.
    So .... Check iTunes on your iPad and look for a stalled download, a song, TV Show ... Whatever. Look in iBooks as well for anything that might have stalled when downloading.

  • Can't update apps on iPad

    Starting sometime last week, my iPad Mini shows updates available badge on the App Store App icon, but when I launch the App Store app, the updates page just shows blank. I have the same problem on an iPad2, but not on my iPhone. Anybody else having this problem?

    The update server is down; try this temporary workaround
    App Store>Purchased>Select "All"
    Note: Look out for apps that have the word "Update"

  • Can't update app anymore since changing AppleID

    Hi there,
    I've bought an App of the navigation-software TomTom with an AppleID I recently changed. Today I wanted to download an update of this App, but iTunes and the iPhone are telling me that I'm upgrading with a wrong AppleID. I have to switch to the old AppleID to run this update.
    The problem is, is that the old AppleID has an e-mailaddress which no longer exists! iTunes has sent an e-mail to this e-mailaddress to verify my AppleID, but I can't open it because the e-mailaddress is gone.
    Now I can't upgrade my App, even though I bought this a few months ago for almost 80 euro's.
    What can I do?

    Contact iTunes support, explain the situation and ask them to add this app to the download queue of your new Apple ID. All apps are DRM protected & tied to the account used to originally obtain them. They cannot be transferred to another iTunes account & can only be updated using the same ID used to originally obtain them. Only iTunes support can fix this for you:

    Can I update/upgrade my ipad model # MB292C? I find that many of the apps, such as games I have downloaded require a higher ios and won't update on my ipad.

    From what I could find, that is an iPad 1. You can only update to iOS 5.1.1. You can do that on your computer. It may be time to look for a newer iPad as the apps now are set to use iOS 7.0.4.
