Can't update iPhone apps with ios8

I recently got a replacement iPhone 5s which came with ios8. Now I can't update my apps. In the app store I have several apps that are listed as having available downloads, but there's no option to update them. I can only click "open." Any ideas?

You're not alone LC Boston. I have this too. Bought an iPhone6 two days ago, as an upgrade for my old iPhone4. Today I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2 (using iTunes). A few hours later, I saw there were two apps awaiting updates. In the Updates section of the App Store app, the two apps are listed as "Available updates" but the "Update All" option at the top of the screen is greyed out, and each app just has the "Open" box beside it, not the "Update" box. Hitting "Open" does open the app but when closed, it is still listed in the "Available updates" section and still shows "Open" as the only option.
I Have tried everything I can think of to work around this. I deleted one app and reinstalled it from the App Store. That worked, of course, but it isn't how the update process ought to be working!
I am not having this problem with my iPad Mini, which I also upgraded to 8.1.2 today. The issue for me is restricted to my new iPhone 6.
Any further thoughts?
Tom

Select Apps in iTunes sidebar. A list of all your apps should be displayed in the main window. At bottom right of the window is a Check for updates button. Click on it, then click to download the updated apps. It's also possible that iTunes checked for updatedin the background, in which case the check button will already display how many updates you have.

If your phone is an iPhone 3G, you can't update higher than 4.2.1
Only the 3GS can do.

I changed my apple ID on my iPhone and I have many updates for my apps. It keeps coming up with my old apple ID and I've tried entering my old password and it won't work. How can I update my apps with my new apple ID?

I've tried syncing with my computer. I've tried almost everything but when i go to update my apps it tells me to give a password for my old aplle ID and won't even take the old password. Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

Can not update iPhone APPs. Message that one APP no longer available.

Hi,
Last night I tried to update APPS in iTunes... showed 9 updates available. I tried to update them but at the beginning of the process I got a message that one of the APPs was no longer available ( didn't say which one) and the process stopped. None of the APPs was updated. Tried a number of times with same result. What can I do? Anyone else seen this?
Iphone was NOT attached at the time.

I have a similar problem, I can't update on my iPhone either. Have you recently updated/ changed your iPhone account? If so you'll have to report it to apple (provide feedback) as no one here can help (tried for weeks.)

How can I update the apps. with the new iTune, that's really silly especially I have two iTune account for different countries

I used 2 iPhones and a iPad, 2 Apple ID for different countries so that I can download apps. from different country. Its a pain and sometimes no possible to update the apps. on the ISO devices. Apple really needs to fix this aspect. Also the new iTunes is so difficult to use, please bring back the old one.

When Itunes opens
1) Click on drop dow list button top left under the player controls
2) Select Apps
3) At the bottom right there are two buttons, Check for updates and Get More Apps
An Alternative is when iTunes opens in the top menu Click on View, Show Sidebar. Then you will see your apps page as in itunes 10. Click on that option and as before you should have two buttons, Check for updates and Get More Apps.
NB this is all within Itunes NOT the iTunes Store

How to update iPhone Apps with iTunes 11?

I'm having trouble updating my iPhone Apps using iTunes. I've already transferred my purchases from my iPhone to my mac.
I've downloaded updates for the iPhone apps, but for some reason I can't sync the updated apps to my iPhone.
Is there an option to make sure my iPhone apps will sync from my mac to my iPhone and vice-versa?

I clicked the Apps tab and when I'm on the Apps page, there's no checkbox or anything next to the Apps title on the page like the Music, Movies, etc pages. where do I go from there?
I know that how we used to do it, but in iTunes 11, Apple removed the checkbox for sync Apps on the Apps page. So is there another way now to select "Sync Apps"?

- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

YOu can't update your apps with the new apple id. All apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchased it, you will need to enter your password from you old id to update.

Update an app with DPS signing tool

Hi Neil! can you help me?
How can i update an app with signing tool?
My app is in V.30, and i want make it in V.31! but i don't understand how i can make it
Thanks

The same certificate used to previously sign your current live app should also be used to sign the updated APK you are trying to send to Google play. Looks like you have used a different certificate this time which is why you are getting the error.
You should look for the correct cert on your machine, must be lying out there somewhere. Else if you think you've lost/deleted the cert, there's no way the existing app can be updated. Instead your app has to be uploaded as a new app.
Advise: Always backup your Android .p12 or .keystore certificates somewhere up in the cloud ;-)

Have you tried signing out of your iTunes & App Store on your device and then back in again - Settings>iTunes & App Store, click on Apple ID, then on Sign Out. Then sign in again and see if it accepts the password.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the Slide to Unlock screen will display. See if the problem is resolved.

I had to change my Apple ID and password in itunes. Now my icloud doesn't work and I can't update my apps on my iPhone. I have looked at suggestions on the community pages and apple suggestions but none of them are relevant to iOS 8.1.2
icloud just keeps bringing up my old email address & asking for my old password which doesn't exist anymore and when I try to sign out of icloud it wants my old password, when I tried to change my primary email back to the old one it wants me to verify it through an email address that doesn't exist. Please can you help me sort out this nightmare.

Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe

My account was deleted for security issues. I made a new account, but I can't syncronise my apps with this new account. I bought a new Iphone and would like to transfer the apps ans music on this new one. Can somebody help me?

Why would you make a new account? This will likely cause many problems. Just get you old account enabled.
Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears
Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account. You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.
