Cant update apps from AppStore with iOS 8

After I upgrade my iPad mini retina (A1490) to iOS 8, I found all my apps cannot update in AppStore.


Neither clicking on the 'update' button for each app nor 'update all' in AppStore will work, and no progress was made, just the round indicator circling forever.


Has any one met this problem and know what is going on?

iPad, iOS 8

You can try to log out and then log back into the App Store.


I'd also just be patient. There are millions of new iPhone users either buying new or trying to update their apps. There are also a lot of updates coming out due to the iOS8 update.

There a lot of demand on those servers right now, and have been since Wednesday

FIXED!


Complete backup, complete erase (erase all content and settings), complete restore.


FWIW, it got stuck in the middle of the restore while restoring an app.... Disconnected the cable, waited a minute, reconnected the cable and it picked up with the rest of the restore.


All good so far.

Did you do the "erase all content and settings" before performing the restore?? That was the key for me. I had tried all the "normal" things, reboot, hard reboot, etc.


It had trouble even during the complete restore - it stalled at one particular app for a long time (15-20 minutes). I disconnected the lightning (USB) cable, waited 30 seconds, reconnected and it picked up the restore.


Still painful as most of my application data had to be restored through each app. Kindle books reloaded, etc.
