I'm having the same issue here too, 5s, all updated phone and computer with aboslutely no issues on my ipad 3. I cannot even see anything on the update page, even though the badge shows the apps need to be updated (I usually have auto update off). When I try to download an app, the circle just keeps spinning, never getting to my password/finger print stage.

An update I can get to through testflight is just stuck and I can't even use that app anymore.


I use the same account on my different devices, and this suddenly happened only a few days ago on my phone. I updated to a new software ages ago when it just came out. Done a couple of hard resets too, not feeling like doing a factory reset either though. Any news on this odd situation?

Been having the same issue in my ipad mini for the last 2 weeks.

I use the same account in my 5S, and it works fine. So, it must be the device (ipad mini).

I was about to reset the device to factory setting, I connect to itunes in my pc to backup.

There's a dialog box asking me to update to the latest iOS (7.1.1 like in 5S, while My ipad mini has 7.0.6).

So, instead of resetting the device i chose to try the latest iOS first. After completing the update, i tried to update and download an app (using ipad mini not through itunes in pc), it works fine!
