Iphone 5 won't update apps after iOS 6.1

I recently downloaded the new ios 6.1 software and now I can't update any apps. The screen is blank but the app still tells me I need to update my apps. I tried turning the phone off and back on and that didn't work. Resetting it also didn't work. I plugged it into the computer hoping I could fix it that way but no luck. Any suggestions?

I have the very same issue. There are updates but it's not showing them. If you go to appstore and search for the installed apps it will then show which one to update. For ex I just had the badge indicating that I had three updates but the screen was blank. Searched for Facebook, as I had updated for an iPad earlier, and it indicated that it should be updated. Same thing with Tweetbot. I'm still trying to figure out what is the third one.

IPhone 4 Won't Update Apps After Email Change

I changed my Apple ID email online. Then I went into the store settings and signed in with the new one. Worked. Then I went to the app store and it still shows my old Email address when I try to update things. Can't change it there. If I go to the app store>catergories>scroll the bottom, I can see my NEW email address there, but not in the update area. I've synced it in iTunes, I've turned the iPhone off and on a number of times now. I can't update any apps or buy things from the app store because my old email address shows up in ONE PLACE and ONE PLACE ONLY... the update apps area. How can I fix this so I can use the app store once again?
Thanks!!!

I have the same annoying problem.. When my old id-adress came up, i tried to write in the password.. And im positive that i wrote in the correct one, but i won't go through.. So I try to reset that password by getting it on my email.. But I never get a emal.. And now, after trying for a million times, the apps that i tryed to update, no longer shows ???
This is so annoying!!
Please someone help us!
I did try to reset my primary apple-id adress, but it won't change. It says that the adress is already in use..
I fon't grt this?
When you change your apple-id all of your stuff, apps and everything should come along, so that you can update them or whatever as normal even if the apple-id is changed..
This is ********. It shouldn't be this hard !!

TS1368 Verizon iPhone 4 won't update apps

For about two weeks now, my Verizon iPhone 4 (ios 5.1.1) won't update apps from the update feature. I can make purchases and otherwise access my account, but although the red icon appears to tell me that there are updates available, I receive the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" when I open the apps app. I have no trouble updating the apps manually (by searching for the app and choosing "install" I am prompted to update.) But I can't update automatically by using the updates icon on the App Store menu.
I have a 4th gen iPod and iPad 3 as well, and they have no trouble updating normally on the same network; nor does my computer. I can't find any reference to anyone else having this problem; can anyone help?
FYI, I have already tried every solution I've seen posted on this site to no avail. They only seem to address the issue of not being able to access the iTunes store at all; I ONLY have this issue with the update function -- purchases and manual updates work fine.

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately, the app that is problematic is the App Store app, which is undeletable. Nothing else is giving me a problem.
I did eventually find a thread discussing this problem, and all the solutions are work-arounds, such as update from iTunes on my computer and then sync to my phone. This does work, but it's a bit of a pain to have to do that in order to update. I'd really like to just do it automatically from the device, the way it was intended to work.

Iphone 4 won't switch on after ios update

Hi my iphone 4 won't switch on pretty well first use after latest update.
I have tried numerous button pressing configurations and times as suggested on other forums but still no luck...any ideas?

Hold down Power on/off and home button at same time, when apple logo appears again release.
If still have same problem force recovery mode restore with iTunes, set up as new first making sure phone goes to home screen.
If all good - restore from back up
good luck...

IPad 2 won't install apps after ios 5 update

after iOS 5 install, apps are getting "hung up" in the waiting stage

Try restarting your iPad or resetting it and see if that helps. Restart first.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
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.

Cannot Update Apps After iOS 8 Upgrade

     Ever since I updated to iOS 8 I've been having issues updating my apps through the App Store app on my iPad 3rd gen. Even though I'm logged in and slect Update All, the apps won't update. On the home screen each app to be updated will be faded and have "Waiting..." beneath it. No matter how long I wait it will not update.
     I close the app and open it again and select the option to stop updating (this wasn't an option before I closed and then opened the App Store). On the home screen it will show the blue dot by the apps as if they were updated, but they haven't.
     Is anyone else having the same issue?
     Is there a way to fix this?

Hello NinaBunBun,
It may help to force close all applications, then restart your iPad.

My iPhone 5 won't update Apps

Ever since I updated to the iOS 8, my phone just refuses to update my apps. I have restarted my phone, signed in and out of Apple ID, turned my wifi on and off, and nothing is working. Is there another way to fix this? Or is this going on in Apple's side?
Thanks!

Did you ever resolve the issue? I have the same problem.

IPhone 4S won't back up after iOS 6.1.1 update!!! :(

I updated my phone to the new iOS 6.1.1 this week, through the wifi connection. I just synced up my phone with the computer now via cable, and it says that "your iPhone cannot backup due to an error".
This is the first time my phone has done this, conveniently when I desperately need to back up my phone.
Can anyone try to help me with my inconvenient problem?
Thanks in advance!

Hello emcruz1995
For issues with making phone calls on your iPhone 4s, check out the General phone and connectivity issues and look at the iPhone Call and Connection assistant as well as the No cell signal strength anywhere parts to get it sorted out.

No cell signal strength anywhere
1      Verify that your carrier name appears in the status bar, at top left of the display.
2      Turn Airplane mode on, wait for the airplay symbol to appear in the status bar, and then turn it off again.
3      Reset Network Settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
4      If your iPhone is in a case, try removing it to ensure that the case isn't interfering with the cell signal strength.
5      Contact your carrier to find out the following:
▪       If you are in an area with network coverage.
▪       If there is a network outage.
▪       The account is properly configured to your phone.
6      Try to restore your phone and set it up as new.
Note: Your iPhone may be able to receive calls in as little as 15 minutes after activation. If you are migrating your current phone number, it can take longer–up to several days, depending on the type and status of your former service account–before calls are routed to iPhone. In the meantime, you can make calls and use the device's other features.

IPad won't update apps after upgrading to ios8 ?

Hello,
I have been having touble with my apps getting updated. This seemed to have started after I downloaded the ios 8 on my iPad. I didn't have the problem before. I had 15 updates its now down to 8 but I have been waiting for the past 4 days for it to complete. It keep stalling/pausing and I have to restart it. I have tried to turn the iPad off and on. I don't want to have to uninstall the apps and redo all of them. Is there something wrong with my it because of the iOS 8 update? Is there a recommendation or a resolution to solve the issue. Thank you

Unable to update apps after IOS 6

I have 14 app pending updates since IOS 6 and NOT being able to update due to billing info update as the app store suposedly wasn't able to process a previous purchase. Now I want to update the 14 already bought apps and I can't due to this stupid message. As far as know if you don't have enough funds available you can't install or download any app. How could a previous purchase cause any problem? Any help?

Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.

I can't update apps after IOS change

Somebody out there has the same problem????? I can't download new apps

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

After updating to iOS 6.1.2, neither my iPhone or iPad will update apps thru App Store. Any suggestions?

After updating to iOS 6.1.2, neither my iPhone or iPad will update apps thru App Store. Any suggestions?

What happens when you try?
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

My iPhone 5 won't update/install apps !! Any idea why ?

I own an iPhone 5, an iPhone 4s and an iPad 2.
They are all not jailbroken and are all running on ios 6.0.1
While my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 have no problem updating existing apps or installing new apps, my iPhone 5 won't update/install apps all !!
To be fair, about 2 week ago, all my iPhone 5 update/install won't work but after a day or two, they started downloading.
But now, my iPhone 5 updates and installations have been stalled for a week.
What is happening ? Can anybody please help ? Thanks.

Okay fixed it:
First of all make a backup and sync your iPhone in iTunes.
Next reinstall your iPhone using DFU mode:
(FIND HOW 2 GET IN DFU MODE ON GOOGLE, APPLE DO NOT ALLOW TO PUT IN LINKS HERE :-( )
Then choose to put your latest backup back on your iPhone.
And voila you should see you now can recieve updates from App Store.
(It worked for me)
