iPad app store updates not working

The problem is 100% on Apple's end. We have the same problem here with two new iPads. We went to the Apple Store yesterday for a Genius appointment, after the tech wiped both iPads and reinstalled the iOS the same problem occurred. THEN at that point the tech whips out HIS iPad and low and behold HE cannot connect either! The tech then walked over to a display iPad on the sales floor and guess what???? It would not update either, just a blank screen.

One would think that that would have been the first thing he would have checked. 90 min. in the Apple Store, plus hours of reloading apps, etc. on two iPads. While the tech was great and was a wealth on knowledge this was a pretty big waste of time.

I had 12 pending updates, and this technique worked for all but one. Whatever that last item is, it's not showing up anywhere. So, as others have said, Apple still needs to address this issue.

I had this very same issue on my iPad 2. I first closed the App Store in the multitasking bar and then a did a double restart and it fixed the issue for me! Hopefully it'll work for you too.

I iknow...i have three of those...what to do?

This helped, but still have one more...

This particular "remedy" didn't make much sense or have any technical logic that I understood, but I tried it anyway.

I tried the recommended closing of the AppStore in the task bar, then double rebooting. I actually attempted this twice (twice closing the AppStore and rebooting twice per time). It didn't fix anything. The AppStore update window is a blank screen that never loads.

I'm 99.99% certain that this is an issue Apple needs to correct on their end. You can reboot your iPad a thousand times, reinstall its software, take it to the Genious Bar in Apple Stores around the world, fly it to the moon and back and chant with Tibetan munks. There is nothing anyone can do to correct the issue on their end. Apple, and Apple alone, holds the key to this issue. It's a server-end thing. It may also be fixed region by region, so if someone *does* report a "fix" that they believe truly worked for them, they're mostly likely just in a region that the issue was fixed in around the time they attempted to "fix" their iPad AppStore issue. Either that, or they're trolling for suckers to try rediculous "remedies" and report back about it... kind of like what I just did.

Ditto everyone else. Apple needs to fix this ASAP. I've updated 8 of 12 that I've been able to locate with purchases & just searching for apps I knew needed to be updated. This isn't acceptable to not be able to get update list correct in 2013.

This just worked for me - you might try it. I closed the app from the multitasking bar. Then I brought it back up from the App Store icon. Then I made sure the Updates tab was set and then I closed the app again from the multitasking bar. The next time the app came up, the apps that needed updating were shown. Updates were downloaded as normal, and my iPad is now good to go.

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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. It worked for me!

I had this same issue. First I tried updating buy clicking the Purchased tab and did an update from there, but the icon still showed 3 apps needing updating. I then did a re-sync of the iPad and it resolved the problem...

I went to the App Store and clicked on purchased which puts all the apparent on the screen. Just update the apps one by one that need to be updated.

Apps, not apparent

Hello there

You can just try turning the device off and on again !!!

if it doesn't work you can do a DFU Reset via iTunes ( MAC OR PC )

I'll leave a link below off how to do a DFU RESET

My Updates page in Apps is also blank. Yet the app's icon says 8 updates are pending. How long before they sort this out? I have a screenshot if anyone at Apple wants it.

Nobody knows how long Apple will take to sort it. All we know is after several hundred posts, it should be pretty obvious where the problem is, and the lack of need to fiddle with our devices in the belief we can change it.
