Hi Friend,


I found the solution for this problem (because I faced it too): go to Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset Internet Settings (the third option in IOS 6).

Five minutes later my iDevice works fine again.


If the issue persists, forget the wifi connection and then sign in again.


Hope it helps

I have had this problem for about a week now. The little red number has slowly gone up from 3 to 5 to 8 to 14.

I tried all of the "solutions" but none of them worked. The only thing that sort of helped was the workaround by updating apps individually through the purchased tab.

However, even though I made sure I hit update on every single one, the stupid red button still says two. Ughhh

Finally after crashing my head against the wall, because none of the solutions here posted worked for me, I will explain to you what I did to solve the problem, first:

The issue: App Store was not working with any update, the download progress icon remain frozen doing nothing.

The device: Ipad mini with the latest IOS

The solution: Go to your modem, unplug the power cable for around 1 minute, then plug it in again to the modem. Go to your ipad, Settings/General/Reset/Reset Network Setting... Do it, let your device restart, then go to your wireless connection and log in to your wifi. You'll see how your updates begin to download.


Hope this fix will work for you as it did for me.


Regards
