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.

Unable to update apps after 10.5 update

I have been unable to update apps on my iPhone since downloading iTunes 10.5.
I have an established connection in iTunes to my account and can download apps but when I when I click on "# Updates Available" I am asked to sign in again and then receive a message that the iTunes Store is unavailable and to try again later.
All system software is up to date and I have update my iOS to 5. I am able to connect to the store via my iPhone and update there but do not understand why I can't view the updates on my Mac.
Please help

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
Step 1
A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
Step 2
If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 3
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 4
From the App Store menu bar, select
Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
Step 5
According to a report, the error can result from changing the language setting of your Apple ID account. I can't confirm.

Unable to update apps in iOS 8.0.2 iPhone 5S

I'm unable to update any apps on my iPhone 5S.
Problem started after I updated to iOS version 8.0.0. Oddly, apps updated for a while, then stopped about 2 days ago.
I upgraded to 8.0.2 hoping it would solve the problem. Still a problem.
I receive notifications in the App Store that apps are ready for an update. I go into the App Store and click to "update" on individual apps or "update all". In both cases, the little blue square in a circle loads (looks like it's about to download the update), but no progress indicator shows that it's / they're downloading.
Have rebooted. No help.
Have signed out and back into the App Store. Didn't fix it.
Turned off Family Sharing. Didn't fix it.
I've attempted to update the apps using 3 different Wi-Fi networks, all of them with a strong signal. Have also tried while tethered to laptop via iTunes.
Little help?

hi, Brett - I'm having a problem now restarting my iPhone.
iTunes (yep, it's the latest Windows version) keeps crashing ("iTunes has stopped working" message).
The installed apps are blacked out with text beneath the icon "Waiting".
And iTunes crashes on step 4 of 4 (Syncing Apps to John Alton iPhone 5S - step 5 of 5). Starts on the first app it tries to reinstall / sync.
I am manually installing each application because I'm unable to bring back from syn. (On the iPhone, in App Store, go to Purchased > Not on this iPhone,
But I'm still unable to run iTunes because it crashes while attempting to re-load the applications and data.
Little help?
thanks,
John

Unable to update apps in iOS 8

I updated my iPad Air to IOS 8 without difficulty, and some apps updated automatically. Last night all app update downloads failed - just didn't download. After going through the troubleshooting, still no luck. The iPad is working fine otherwise. I closed all applications, rebooted the iPad, synced again (I do it every few days with my iMac), rebooted by router, and reset all settings. Nothing worked. My local Apple reseller was unable to help! Any ideas or is this an IOS 8 glitch?

Unable to update apps after converting iTunes account from UK to SG

Hello all,
I have contacted support ([email protected]), and after being served by countless support staff, none could really explain to me what I should/could do. All they have done after understanding my problem is to point me to "iTunes Feedback page".
So here's the problem: I cannot seem to update my apps. This all happened when I switched stores. Previously I was using the UK iTunes store. But since I've completed my studies and returned home, I changed my billing information to a Singapore bank. Doing so converted my iTunes store account to the SG iTunes store. Clicking on the "search for updates" in the iTunes App library lists several updates available. But because I am in the SG iTunes store and my apps were previously purchased in the UK iTunes store, there is no way for me to update it.
The strange thing is that my iPhone and iPad allows me to update any app - bought from the UK or SG store - without any problems. It is just that iTunes is rather picky about updating it. I have tried deleting a UK-purchased app and re-downloading the same app in the SG iTunes store, and two things happen. The first is that I won't get charged, since it prompts me "you have already purcahsed this item". I also notice that there is the "$0.99 Buy App" and not the usual "Download" label. The second is that despite the fact that I re-downloaded the app from the SG iTunes store, it still refuses to update it.
I'm really getting annoyed at this. Does anyone have the same problem, if so, what did you do to resolve it?

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.

Unable to update apps after upgrading to yosemite

Unable to update apps after Mavericks install (Unable to update w/this Apple ID)

After updating Mavericks I cannot update the Apps. It says, "Update Unavailable with this Apple ID. This update is not available for this Apple ID either b/c it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled".
Neither of those reasons are accurate. Please advise.
Thank You,
Chris

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept them into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
4. Buy them.

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.

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

Unable to update apps in app store after installing 8.1.3

I have been unable to update apps in app store after installing 8.1.3
Is anyone else having this problem?

Yes, on iPhone, but ok on iPad. It says I have 12 Updates, but doesn't say what they are. I sync'd with iTunes on the Mac and everything is up to date there. I think if there are no Updates in iTunes, then you are up to date. It may be an issue with Notifications. I'm turning Alerts off in iPhones Notifications settings for now so I don't have to look at the number. Welp, now it says 11 Updates.
