Why aren't my apps updating on my iPad 2?

When I update apps on my iPad 2 the log in pops up but then I get this message saying that whatever number of apps I'm trying to update can't be purchased at this time try again. Then the log in box pops up again. I log in and maybe 1 or 2 apps update but not the all.

Here are a number of things that you can try.
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.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

Why won't my apps update - I have 7 updates waiting to go and when you click on any of the apps, they say installing but have never finished?

Why won't my apps update on my ipad? I have 7 updates waiting to go and when I click on them they all say they are installing but they have never completed their installation? Please help

Try resetting ...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
You won't lose any data as a result of a reset.

Mac OSX SUS - Why aren't the latest updates offered for some software

For instance, on my sus, Quicktime 7.6.4 is the latest version offered for leopard. 7.6.6 is available on Apple's site. Is there actually a 7.6.6 update others can see on their sus, or is this a universal issue - and why aren't the latest updates available?
Thanks

I just checked my 10.6.3 SUS server at it appears to have that Quicktime 7.6.6 update listed. The size is listed as 68.5 MB and the post date is 03/30/10. My SUS Server Admin interface shows a "Last Check" time of Apr 13, 2010 3:00:00 AM.
I have wiped and reinstalled my SUS server several times dealing with the "missing 10.6.3" updates bug reported many times in these forums so that may be why my server is displaying the Quicktime 7.6.6 update.

I have several 'app updates' on my iPad waiting to be updated, but the update screen is blank. Why? Day 2

I have several ' app updates' on my iPad waiting to be updated, but the update screen is blank. Why? Day 2

It is a problem on Apple's end. If you look around the forum, ther must be a dozen or more discussions going on about it and users were posting the same problem all day today.
Look here..... And just look around on the forum for more.

These are all steps that have worked for some other users in the past. They may not work for you, but they are worth a try.

My updates aren't able to update on my iPad , what wrong?

My updates don't update what's wrong

Try rebooting your iPad: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time until the Apple Logo appears then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. See if apps update when your iPad comes back on.
Also in settings > itunes and app store, do you have Auto Apps Update is on

Why won't my apps update?

I don't have wi-fi, but I thought that connecting to a computer via a usb cord, I'd still be able to get my apps to function and/or update, but they don't. I can't figure out what the difference between a wi-fi connection and a direct connection is that won't allow the transfer of information. Can anyone explain this to me?

You can get updates to Apps via iTunes on your computer. Start iTunes and click on "Apps" In the "Library" section on the left panel of the screen. There will be a notification of "Updates Available" at the bottom right of the screen. If you click on this you will see which App updates are available and select which to download. When you next connect your iPod these updates will be transferred to it.

Why won't my apps update now that I have updated to iOS 7? The are stuck in "waiting." And how do I fix it?

I updated to the iOS 7 and now several apps, iBooks included, won't finish the update. I can't delete and re-download because they are stuck in "waiting." Also, I can't seem to reload apps sent to cloud back to my phone.
Storage isn't the issue because I have checked that. Or at least in the surface it doesn't appear to be. Any other trouble shooting ideas are appreciated.

I found that what worked to correct this issue on my iPhone 4S was to turn off automatic app updates. I went to Settings - iTunes & App Store - and under Automatic Downloads, switched Updates to off. My apps that were stuck in 'Waiting' immediately began downloading.
Although I would like to be able to use the automatic update feature, at least I found a fix to the 'waiting' issue for now.

Hello Briana,
If you are stuck with trying to get the apps to update, check out the troubleshooting steps in the following article. I would also try and power off the iPod Touch and turn it back on.

Why can't I sync updated contacts to iPad

iPad IOS 5.1 on iPad[1]; iMac 10.7.3 intel core duo
Contacts on iMac do not transfer updated information to iPad. Following instructions to sync on the Wi-Fi 'help' does not do it; neither does connecting iPad to iMac/select device/click Info/select contacts/click Apply
I *do* get the original Contacts [duplicated] I do *NOT* get updated addresses/details of new contacts, which are in my Address Book on the iMac... HOW do I transfer this 'new' information? HOW do I prevent/delete duplicates?

Thank you for helping: I have been using iCloud/wireless syncing but then tried to sync using iTunes and the computer connection.
Neither has updated my contacts...
I now have 4 sets of duplicates of existing contacts.. and NONE of the new addresses/contacts has been added.
[a] should I try deleting the entire contacts/address book on iPad, and then try to transfer contacts [start all over]
[b] HOW do I delete duplicates, and better still how prevent them in the first place?

Why aren't my apps showing up in CC desktop?

Every since I download the Cloud months ago this has been a problem with my home computer which is running on Windows 8. I can still get my files, fonts, etc. but no apps and every time I call customer service after 20 minutes of going back and forth they try and connect me with technical person I get disconnected. I have unitstalled CC desktop and reinstalled but still get same issue. I do not have this problem at work which runs on Windows 7. I have a team membership and my IT department says they have no reason why this should happen but since it's my home computer they can't do anything about it. I tried to update CC desktop to fix the update for Windows 8.1 but can't download or update it. My other programs in the Cloud work fine although I have tried download Adobe Acrobat from the website and it doesn't download.

Why doesn't my app update screen open?

Why did my available app update disappear from the app store

A few weeks ago, I had an update available for one of my iphone apps that I chose not to download since it was said to have bugs. As a result, I had an outstanding badge app icon. Just today I realized that the alert was missing. At first I thought I might have accidentally updated the app when I synced my phone last, but when I search for the app in the app store, it still gives me the option to update (I've included a screen shot below). It just no longer shows an available update under the update tab (see second screen shot) It's not a huge deal at the moment since I don't want to install this update, but I'm afraid the problem might continue with future updates I want to install. Any ideas? I restored my phone from an icloud backup a few days ago, but once the restore was complete, the update alert still showed correctly, so I don't think that's the problem.

It's good to know I'm not the only one with this problem. I had noticed the issue with my downloaded apps displaying the price, but I thought maybe it's always been that way since I never install apps through iTunes on my computer, just my phone. My husband's computer is doing the same thing, but he didn't have any outstanding updates on his phone, so I'm not sure whether his phone is having the same issue. My guess is that if other people are having this problem, they don't have any outstanding updates, so they aren't aware of it. I know many people who make a habit of not updating apps have jailbroken devices and can install an app that hides the badge app icon. I guess for now we need to wait it out and see if the problem fixes itself. It's still annoying though.
P.S.- I just noticed that on my phone if I search for a previously installed app, it just shows the price instead of giving me the option to "Install". I can reinstall it by brining it up in the list of purchased apps, so it's just when searching for the app. Also if I search for a currently installed app, it says "open" instead of showing the price, so it's only with previously intalled apps. Whatever the issue, I hope it's fixed soon.

Why won't my apps update on iOS 7?

My App Store says I have 7 apps to update, but when I go to the App Store, nothing comes up. Why is this happening?

Because, as has been said here many, many times now (not meaning to seem snippy), the fourth-generation iPod touch cannot run iOS 7.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.
