HT1689 Ipad "apps" will not update (was 14 items, now 9).  Ipad used extensively in Europe & UK for a month.  Condition has existed since our return to Canada.  Followed steps as listed in Support to no avail?

Help with multiple Ipad app updates.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like two (or more) different Apple ID's were used when Apps were purchased and originally downloaded and installed.
Another possibility might be that maybe some Apps were downloaded in other countries during your travels, and might not be authorized by the developer or by Apple for use in locations other than the country of origin.
To change the active Apple ID, navigate to Settings, Store, and touch the active Apple ID shown. Then Sign Out, and sign in with the other Apple ID(s). Now go to Apps, and Check for Updates. Once updates are installed, you can again sign out, and sign back in with the other Apple ID used most often.
My wife and I share her iPad. Initially I downloaded the apps I wanted to use with my Apple ID, and 'her' apps using her Apple ID. That system works pretty well, except for updates. To update everything installed, I had to log in with one Apple ID, download updates, and then log in with the other Apple ID to finish.
It wasn't a problem when there were only 10 or 15 apps, for each of us, updated infrequently. When it reached more than 100 apps for each of us, it became inconvenient to do the dual updates.
When I upgraded her iPad to iOS 5.1.1, I deleted most of 'my' apps (most were free anyway), and reinstalled only 'her' apps. Then I re-downloaded most of my free apps from the App store, this time using her Apple ID, to make future app updates easier.

  • IPad apps will not update from the App Store

    I have apps that need to be updated from the App Store but when I select the "Update" icon, all it does is open the app rather than update it.
    i Have tried turning off the iPad and turning back on...doesn't work.
    I havent downloaded iOS 8.1 because I know people have experienced issues with it. I have an iPad 2.  Help please!!

    I had this problem
    I hit the power button and the round button at the same time and held it until it rebooted
    You get the black screen and the apple logo
    When that was done I want to the app and update screen and I was able to update my apps
    I suggest when you update stay on that screen until they all update
    I find it sometimes get stuck updating when I leave the screen as they are updating and do other things, but I could be wrong. It just seems to me that is when it happens.
    The reboot works and don't worry you don't lose anything when u reboot it's like shutting down a computer and powering it back up. Everything you had before will still be there.

  • Ipad apps will not update

    My apps stopped updating last Sunday.  I tried everything I know, including resetting the iPad.  Any suggestions?

    OK this makes zero sense but do any of you have the WSJ app?
    See this:  Why can't I download or update apps on iPad running iOS 8
    Amazing as it sounds, deleting the WSJ app (even though it wasn't needing an update) fixed my problems and the apps all started updating after a hard reset (reboot).

  • TS1702 Backup app will not go away and now the iPad is frozen

    I have an icon/app that popped stating my iPad was not backed up. I backed it up, but it will not go away & I can't do anything else on the iPad, not even turn it off.

    Try this.
    Reboot 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.

  • IPad app will not update

    There is an Adobe Revel app update that I have tried to update twice and keep getting the error message "can't update at this time". Is there a problem or should I just keep trying.
    Thanks

    Hi CGrohs,
    This is Ian from the revel team. We are experiencing an issue with this version that we are trying to resolve with Apple as soon as possible. Thank you for reporting this though. We are so sorry for the inconvenience. In the meantime if you are trying to access your photos you can do so at adoberevel.com.
    Best,

  • IPad apps will not download?, IPad apps will not download?

    IPad apps will not update even though the iPad screen shows apps need upgrade. What's happening, is Apple losing it?

    This problem has been ongoing for several days now. Hundreds of people are in the same boat as you. 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.

    Quick update, the duplicate of the comic-con episode downloaded succesfully, and so has the first episode of Supernatural season 8. Blue dots appear to their left in the library.
    All the Vampire Diaries episodes (except the bonus comic-con double) have vanished, but I paid for them !
    They're not anywhere on my harddrive either.
    Which is new by the way, this is a new MacbookPro, literally set it up today.
    So it would seem this is a case of purchased and pseudo-downloaded episodes that ended up beinge gobbled up by some iTunes black hole, leaving me with no money, and no episodes.
    Need help, confirmed.

  • IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, many apps require iOS 6.0 or later. also since updating to 5.1.1 safari frequently crashes.

    My IPad 1 will not update past iOS 5.1.1, however many apps require iOS 6.0 or later what can I do?
    Also, since updating to 5.1.1 Safari frequently crashes.  Help!!!!!!

    5.1.1. is the end of the line for the original iPad. You can't go beyond that. As for the safari crashes, is it tied to specific websites? Have you tried clearing the cache and history?

  • My ipad 2 will not update.

    My ipad 2 will not update in the app store.  I have to manually update each app.  It will also not sync to my computer for back up so I am afaid to restore it.  How can I fix this?

    There are many posts about this same issue. Apparently there's a problem with the Apple app site. You'll just have to wait and try again later.

  • Apps will not update on iPhone 4

    My apps will not update on my phone.  I've turned my phone off and let it set and tried to update after and it didn't work.  I've tried backing up and syncing and it didnt work either.  I've tried to update the apps individually instead of all at once and I get a message such "name of the app is not available at this time" , but it updated on my iPad just fine.  I can't use my apps on my phone as it acts like they are currently updating.  It's been this way for three days.  Any ideas on how to correct or what caused it? 

    I had this problem, I had 12 apps that would just not update via cell data or wireless!!!
    To solve I just updated all the apps in itunes on my mac (or home pc) and then when i connected my iphone it just updated them the first time with the sync!!

  • Keynote is in iTunes , the message is not for this type iPad . Will not download in either Macpro or iPad.  I thought I was buying product for MacPro?

    Keynote is in iTunes , the message is not for this type iPad . Will not download in either Macpro or iPad.  I thought I was buying product for MacPro? 

    To buy or install Keynote on a Mac, use the  Mac App Store application in the applications folder.
    If you have bought a new Mac, from October 2013 onwards, all the iWork applications are now free.

  • HT4623 apps will not update

    under the app store it shows I have updates to do.  When I hit install all and then my password the apps will not update. 

    I found a solution to the problem.  Connected iPhon to iMac.  Opened iTunes and clicked on my phone.  Then clicked on 'Apps'.  Found the apps not updating and deleted them.  Synced phone and all is now well.

  • Updated to IOS6 and now my apps will not update on the Ipad2.  I have to delete them and then re-install.  But I have several hundred apps and this is cumbersome.  Seems the new software is too buggy.  I am telling people not to update software yet.

    Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
