I can't update apps and can't install new apps either. But I can surf the internet, and do anything else without a problem. It happens since I have changed my DNS settings.
My special case is , I'm using a custom DNS of my own, but the DNS response is not authenticated, so I changed my wifi DNS field back to 8.8.8.8 temporally, the updating works again.
Hi Sahadebkundu. Please start by reading the thread you posted in.
If you cannot find an answer, please answer the following questions:
What model iPad do you have?
Which iOS version?
Are you on WiFi?
Do you have any Restrictions, Settings > General > Restrictions?

Hello Tehin. Have you looked through the other suggestions in this thread? One of them might work for you. And you should check that you do not have restrictions preventing downloading apps, Settings > General > Restrictions.
Can you download paid applications? Can you download iTunes content, iBooks content? Can you get email or connect to the Internet with Safari?
A few more details would help.
I can connect to the Internet, but, anything that needs to be downloaded from the App Store can't be downloaded.
"Unable to download applications."
"XXXXX" cannot be downloaded at this time.
"XXXXX" represents the app.
Here are a few things that you can try that sometimes can help get the connection to the App Store working again.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to download or update the apps again. If you get an error message, go back to the settings. Correct the date and time (set automatically) then go back and try to download or update the apps again.
Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Or .... Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App 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>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.
Thanks, changing the year worked. Actually didn't believe it will work.
I'm glad that it worked for you.
This solved my issue as well. Thank you.
