I had a bunch of apps ready to be updated in the app store on my iPad (more than 20 I would say) hit update all knowing it would take a while but 1 week and still nothing has changed. Now there is a whole heap of them stuck on waiting. It wont move none have completed. I have done a hard reset on my device nothing still all on waiting. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks
Update these apps on iTune (computer) and sync them to your iPad.
getting there, am downloading newer version of itunes see from there,
thanks

That is just wrong advice. You cannot "create another account for the sake" and download apps belonging to another Apple ID.
You really need to stop putting wild guesses out there for people to try. Do you really want to be responsible for causing someone to lose all of their photos or data? I already shared a couple of the Community Terms of Use rules with you. Please familiarize yourself with them, and stop giving people advice that you have not tried yourself on your own iPhone or iPad or Mac....

why did it work for me?
Here's what I found. Solution that worked for me is not intuitive due to the app upgrade user interface. I had 3 apps hung in "waiting" state.
1. Go to the App Store and select the "purchased" tab
2. Select one of the waiting hung apps - a pop up window opens for the app selected
3. In the app pop up window for the app it will show the update progress status circle frozen just like it shows on the "update" tab screen.
4. Here is the part that is not obvious due to the user interface!: Tap the update progress circle that is frozen!!!!!
5. Progress circle changes back to "update" button
6. Tap the "update" button
7. App update will restart (and hopefully complete :-) )
8. At update completion the button changes to "Open"
9. Open and verify the app works
10. Repeat for other hung apps
Not sure but suspect that you can search for app instead of using the purchased tab in step 1 and start the pop up that ways as well.
How do you sign off from apps store?
Settings>iTunes & App Store, click on Apple ID, click on Account and put in password, click on "Sign Out"
