Cannot download apps or updates on my iPad

Hello and thank you in advance for your support

I am experiencing a weird issue on my ipad mini:

At least 2-3 times per day I cannot download aaps or updates (tapping the install/update button makes it look like it's resetting to default option and goes back to green install/update)

I have no pending purchases, music videos or music pending download.

It seems that switching to Airplane mode solves the problem temporarely.

I've already done a clean restore without any results.

Tried to sign out and back in to app store, no luck.

Rarely after waiting for about 5-6 minutes I'm requested to enter my password and the update beggins ( w/o switching to Airplane mode)

Does anybody here have the same issue? Any ideas on how to track down the source of this issue?

PS: on my iphone I never had this issue

iPad mini Wi-Fi + Cellular (MM), iOS 6.1.4

Thank you so much, that fixed it for me. That is really weird that the date messes with it. 🙂

I have the same issue on my iPad Air. The airplane mode trick seems to do the trick, though. Thank you. I do have the same issue on my fifth gen. iPod Touch. I'll try it on that, too.

You need to go to settings and sign out of the app store. After you do that you have to count to 30 and then you sign back in. It will ask you a bunch of things, but it works. This happend on my ipad 4.
