IPhone 5s won't install updates, when I try, it just opens the app

I have an iPhone 5s. Whenever I press the update button, the app doesn't update. The update button is working more as a button that opens the specific app I'm trying to update. I am very frustrated. I had an iPhone 5s with a previous phone company and didn't experience this issue.

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first update the application; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. I have not renamed or moved iPhoto which was preinstalled. How to solve?

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first download the update; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. Stuck in a classis Catch-22 - any ideas how I might solve the problem?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

How do I fix this on my iPhone 4S?

Same phone and ios, same problem. Worked just fine for me Sunday, but nothing today, all day. As a workaround I found I can still connect using iTunes on my Macbook Pro, the I synch my iPhone. There are way too many people with the same problem for it to be anything but Apples problem. Hope this helps.

Settings>Store: Tap the AppleID and choose "Sign Out", it will then prompt you to sign in and you can use the new AppleID.
NOTE: Apps must be updated with the AppleID they were purchased under.

When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a game that won't go away. I can't get it off the screen. Suggestions?

When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a free game that won't go away. I can't get into the app store.

This happened to me twice lately. I finally got around it by double tapping the home key to go back to the homepage finding the app store that was running and flicked it up to get rid of it.
When I went back to the App Store the Popup was gone.

Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded." I do have an ID account and my software has been updated.

Hello there, I'm new to the Apple world, and I'm still learning my way around.
Why is when I try to download from the App Store, it says "The application cannot be downloaded."
It doesn't ask me for payment or anything. When I click on download, about 10 seconds later, that message pops up and nothing is downloaded onto my laptop. I can download other stuff onto my laptop for e.g. Microsoft Word and other various programs such as Google Chrome from the internet. However, I just cannot download from App Store. Any suggestions on how I can download apps?

There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion.

Clicking update just opens the app?

Snapchat recently sent me a message saying that soon my version of the app will stop working, and that I need to update the app. However, when I go to the app store and to updates and click the update button, my phone just opens the app and nothing else happens. This happens with all of my apps.
     Could it be that I don't have ios 8?
     Or that my phone doesn't have enough storage (1.5 GB available)?
     Or is it that my phone is older (4S - 14 months old)?
I have a friend who has a 4s iPhone without ios 8 and who updated her apps just fine...so any ideas on what's causing the problem and how I can fix it?

Free up some space, a 4S is still a good phone and you can update it to 8.2 just fine. If that doesn't work, delete the app. Hold it until it wiggles, click X, delete. Go back to app store and redownload it. Should work. Need to back up that iphone, there are several different ways to back your pictures or videos.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap the Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign in with the Apple ID of your choosing.
