Since updating to ios 8.1.1  Apps will not update. circle goes round and round

Why cant i update apps.

Probably apps running in the background are causing this, sometimes Mail get's stuck connecting to the mail server, or some social media app like Facebook can also be a reason for prolonged background activity.
Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

    Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • 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.

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • After installing iOS 5, my ipad 2 will not accept my access code and has locked me out

    after installing iOS 5, my ipad 2 will not accept my access code and has locked me out.  Any ideas?

    I don't know if your symptoms are the same as mine, but my problem is the same. Specifically:
    My update seemed to go fine, but I noticed that items in Notification Center were not current or missing, as compared to the iPhone. Also, when iTunes saw the iPad without it being connected by cable, the portion of the iTunes screen that displayed the OS status was blank, and it told me that I had to connect physically to update. When I did, iTunes confirmed that iOS 5 was indeed installed and current.
    With this, I decided to shut down the iPad completely, and restart it. When it came back up, the lock screen had changed. I now get a full keyboard (not just a number pad). When I attempt to enter my 4-digit passcode (and I know I'm entering the correctone), the iPad won't take it. Now it's completely locked and I can't access it.
    The odd thing is the way the screen changed to display a full keyboard on the lock screen. This didn't happen to the iPhone.
    All devices are running the current versions of everything.

  • Apps will not update in iTunes

    Recently bought new laptop w/Windows 7 (Win7 required for work.)  Downloaded/installed latest ver of iTunes to sync my iPhone 4S and iPad. I can update apps in iTunes but they will not update on devices during sync. On the device menu in iTunes I can click the Update radio button and it will change to "Will Update" but when sync is started it changes back to "Update".  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Did you copy the ENTIRE iTunes library from the old computer to the new computer?  If not, the link between the library and device is broken.

  • Apps will not update on iPhone4 after OS7 update

    I have an iphone 4, and finally updated to OS7. Now no apps will update, and some newsstand items will not work at all. I tap "update", or the download-from-cloud symbol, the circle spins, then turns into a fixed circle with a square in teh center, then after a while I tap that, and "update" comes back.

    The circle is the app downloading and the square in the circle is a "stop" button. Every time you hit it, you are stopping the download, which is why "update" re-appears. This time, hit update, then wait patiently. Just because the circle completes, doesn't mean that the app is done updating. If you want to see its progress, hit "update" then the home button. The icon on the home screen will have a pie chart that will show you when the app is ACTUALLY done updating.

  • My apps will not update on my iPad. I tried restarting but no success. What do I do now?

    iPad will not update apps. I tried signing out of iTunes and restarting iPad but no success. What can I do to resolve this problem?

    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset and try again.
    Reset... No Data or Settings will be lost...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
