IPad Air since iOS 8: Apps not updating and downloading no longer possible. Fix?

This problem only really started in the past couple days. I can no longer update apps, cannot download books from the store in the books app and cannot download newspapers in my newsstand. Also, my Adobe reader for iPad open but shows a blank page for 15 seconds before closing and returning to my iPad home screen.
Previous to this, the first few days of iOS 8 did not give me problems, though I had not yet tested all of the above items but apps updated easily for first few days (until 22 sept). Is there a fix?

I read somewhere that you cannot downgrade to iOS7. I sure hope Apple is reading these because it is frustrating that I cannot get the books on their very own books store that I have paid for! More frustrating is not being able to download or update anything new.
I will point out that this is specific to iPad because my iPhone has no updating issues nor downloading issues (it is a new iPhone 6, so not sure if older models have problem).
I hope a full restore will not be necessary. The only saving grace to doing that is that I did a full backup right before upgrading to iOS8 so should have relatively minimal impact for me.....I think.

Battery drain in ipad 2 since iOS 8.1.1 update

I recently updated my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s to the new iOS 8.1.1. Have noticed a significant reduction in battery life on my iPad ever since. I have turned off bluetooth, all notifications, reduced brightness. I've pretty much turned off all that I can to save my battery life. When I checked usage, the biggest usage factor is Safari at over 50%. The rest of the apps are marginal in usage. Went into Safari and unchecked a bunch of options. Any other suggestions? At this point, I'm regretting doing the update. I've also noticed lag on certain websites and dislike the new way Safari is presented. I use to be able to just x out of all screen. Now I have to click the double box and swipe left to get a blank screen. The favorites bar on the side is always there too. One last thing, my bar at the top minimizes when I'm on a web page and I have to click on it to get the option to go back, print,forward, etc.
thanks in advance, from a very untech savey person

Hi Jaberboss
I did start a similar thread on this issue myself, but seeing what I've read here I hope you're ok with me adding it here to
This one is a true case of a phone with zero potentail (electrically)
OK, I've done the rounds on this one, whereby I'm just adding to the list of complaints so that (hopefully) the powers that be, or not, in my phones case, might listen.
Since updating my just over 12 month old 5s to 8.1.2, it has turned into a bag of spanners in respect of its battery life. Its literally gone from 24 or so hours between charges to less than 8 !!
I have tried shutting all the apps down and even had it sitting in full airplane mode, where i've left it alone with the screen off, yet its dropping around 1% every 3 to 4 minutes, blinding!! Checked battery usage in settings after 30 minutes, guess what standby 29 minutes usage 1 minute.
Also tried the full restore, but to no avail, still a bag of spanners!
(slight update here) Even took the SIM out with it in airplane mode and deleted all apps and a full reboot - same thing!
Does anyone remember the good old days of a fixed land line, where the phone had to be plugged into the wall before you could actually use it? lol
Nothing like a bit of retro ay, but some how I cant see this one catching on Mr Apple. Thanks

Apple iOS 7 app auto updates and supervised devices

I'm in the process of deploying a small number of iPads to our internal users, we had a question around automatic app updates in iOS 7. It would be nice if these devices were able to pull app updates down and install them automatically, but there are 2 problems with this for us. The first is that an itunes account was used to aquire a few free apps, these apps were then installed via configurator, but we will not be signing in to this account on the device. Default behavior unless a supervised iPad is plugged into itunes or signed in manually is to leave the apple id field blank, will updates install without an apple id on the device? Also, if a user signs in to there perosnal apple id will automatic updates download for an app downloaded with a different apple id? Second, were removing the app store from the device, but allowing apps to be installed. This should in theory allow updates to be installed automatically on the device, however we are unsure if this is the case. Does the app store need to be enabled for the device to check in? or does automatic updating happen regardless?

I can now confirm the apple technician was incorrect. Auto updates WILL NOT install on a device that does not have an apple id signed into it. I've done as much testing as I could with and without signing in and none of the multiple devices I have will automatically download updates until I sign in to the account the app was purchased under. Ultimately this is new for apple, and in addition to that this scenario is faced by very few customers managing these devices So i understand getting this information incorrect. This post is more or less a warning to anyone managing supervised ipads where applications are being installed and no apple id associated with the device, dont rely on automatic updates to keep your apps up to date; you will either have to sign into the ipad and turn on automatic updating, or manually install each update via configurator when they are released.

When updating my ipad air to iOs 8 my 2 albums on iphoto were deleted since iphoto is no longer supported. Anyone similar experiences? Any chance to get back my albums (not only the pictures, but the actual album with text etc)?

Problem with iOS 8 in ipad air since update, "blue screen with restart"

Problem with iOS 8 in ipad air since update, "blue screen with restart"

HT4623 I tried to update my ipad air to IOS 7.1 but it shows error that "The software for the iphone was corrupted during download" How can I fix this problem ?

I tried to update my ipad air from IOS 7.0.4 to 7.1 on iTunes. I clicked download and update, it started to download normally but when download finished iTunes shows error that "The software for the iphone was corrupted during download".
How can I fix this error ?

I had the same problem. In the end I downloaded it manually. Here's the steps assuming you are on a Mac and have an iPad Air (Wifi). If not you can find other restore links here.
In the terminal (it kept failing to download in Safari):
curl http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7.1/031-4521.20140310.D2Ydl/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Rest ore.ipsw >>~/Desktop/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Restore.ipsw
Once the file has downloaded, move it to ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates/
Quit and relaunch iTunes.
Should now work for you.

Ipad mini apps not updating after ios8.2 update

apps not updating after software update ios8.2 on ipaD MINI WITH RETINA SCREEN

Turn off any auto-update, if it is on, then tap any of the "circle icons" showing that a download is in progress, in order to stop the download. Then go to the Settings and reset the Network Settings. After the iPad starts back up, then check to make sure no apps are currently in progress of downloading. If any are, stop them again, and reset the network settings again. When it starts up again, none should be in the process of downloading. Then from that point forward, only download manually and never more than two at a time. If it is more than 100 MB, then do only one at a time. If any gets stuck at that point, then stop the download and reset the Network settings.
That should take care of you for now. We'll see what another update brings ... IOS 8.2 (which might be the next one).

Wifi and cellular dropping out on iPad air after iOS 8.02 update

Hi
I have recently updated my iPad air to 8.02 and ended up getting problems with wifi and cellular data being very sporadic at best. Took it to the Genius Bar and they replaced it thinking it was a hardware problem. Turns out it is not as it updated again and it is once again sporadic. I tend to find turning it off helps temporarily but always cuts out and needs to be put into airplane mode to reset the connection. Is anyone else having this problem....this is the 3 rd time I have tried to post this as it has cut out and the connection has been lost each time.
I did speak to a customer service advisor over the phone and she thought it may have been wifi and cellular competing but I have turned mobile data off and it is as bad as ever if not worse.

This is getting ridiculous. How long does it take to properly fix this issue. I have ipad air running IOS 8.02. I keep dropping wifi signal regularly throughout the day. I have tried everything to try and improve my connection but nothing has worked. Other products not running IOS 8.20 have a perfect sustained connection to my wifi so the firmware is definitely the issue. When are apple going to acknowledge and fix this issue that is affecting so many.
Roll on June because I'm done with Apple once and for all after many many years. No more iphone for me. Hopefully then I can receive calls without them going straight to voicemail, recieve texts quicker than an 8 hour delay and get voicemails quicker than 2 weeks later. Complete shambles and very poor customer service. Goodness only knows what those who rely on their phone/ipad for work are doing.

My iPad air is missing some apps from my phone. It keeps saying, " there is not enough storage available to download..."

My iPad air is missing some apps from my phone. It keeps saying, " there is not enough storage available to download...." I purchased additional storage twice, my device now shows 18GB free of a total 25GB, and still I cannot download apps I've had for yrs

iCloud space is for backup only.
You need more local storage; free up space on iPad:
Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Delete what is not needed to free up space on iPad.

Just received a new Ipad Air, but IOS version is older than current IPad...can not load backup...How do I upgrade IOS version?

Just received a new Ipad Air, but IOS version is older than current IPad...can not load backup...How do I upgrade IOS version?

In order to upgrade the new Air 2, I had to select "set up as new" from the menu. So, after the IOS upgrade is done, how do I "restore" the data that is backed up on icloud from my old Ipad? I don't see a menu item for that . . .
Thanks

After upgrading iPad Air to IOS 8.1 I get following problems

Since updating my iPad Air to IOS 8.1 Safari occasionally fails to render a page; sometimes it will do so after touching the screen, other times I have to try loading again. Another time it failed to render the whole screen and got stuck in a small viewport less than the screen size with black screen around it. Finally, Safari crashed with Blue Screen of Death on a simple touch gesture.
In writing this I am finding it difficult to use the insertion cursor to edit typos! Cursor jumps words so correcting spelling is very difficult.
Please address these serious quality flaws in the next point release.
thanks
Martin

I would love to find a solution to this problem, too. I have read various threads and tries what they suggested, namely:
turned off auto update for apps
tried to download one at a time from my 'purchased' area and not the update area
reset iPad Air
installed updates all the way to 8.0.2
Anyways, none of these worked. I can buy but not download new apps and I cannot update existing apps at all.
In the end, I've had to sideload via my laptop by updating on the laptop and synching. Not the end of the world, true, but something on the iPad is clearly broken by the iOS updata and nobody at Apple has offered any assistance.
