iPad Air since iOS 8: Apps not updating and downloading no longer possible. Fix?

Glad to know the update theoretically addresses the issue but like others, have been unable to get the update despite dozens of attempts and resets, same error.

So what do we do ? Just wait until something gets fixed? Where can we go and yell louder. this is so not productive.

I Cannot download on iPad and tried to download overnight using MacBook itunes but did not work. Trying again this morning but each download try takes 3 hours in hotel. Frustrating.

I'm extremely upset myself going through the same ordeal as many users. however I tend to believe that the clogging of the site is due to myriads of new iPhone 6 late buyers scrambling to fix the jewel. there should be a larger share of IOS 8 users then otherwise this time round trying to fix it. But I do agree that it'd be nice - the say the least - for Apple to send out some reassuring words that they are aware of that that they're doing all thay can to ease the download, that they expect downloading getting better by at latest ....., and so on and so forth. for now I'd better stay put but Apple should really be more caing of their customers. Expect a word or 2 ...

I'm having the same issue with my iPad Air. I went to update to 8.0.2, but I couldn't do that either.

So, plugged it into iTunes and that let me download the new patch.

But no joy. Still cannot update any apps.

Plus, both iCabMobile and Safari browsers are not working properly and crash often. I can no longer scroll through tabs at the top in iCabMobile, although it works great on my iPhone 5s which is running iOS 8.0.0 and is working just fine.

It appears that update 8.0.2 fixes the issue for the iPad.

It did take me almost a full day of attempts to connect successfully for the update, and I did reset the iPad every now and then just for good measure - not sure if that did anything. Probably 38 attempts before success -- keep trying.

I have reinstalled everything back to 7.1.2 and all problems gone. For the time being i ma not going to install 8.0.2.

8.02 has not fixed anything for me. On a complete wipe and restore to 8.00, everything worked for a while, then it just went back to being broken. I am skeptical about any claims of success until a bit of time has gone by. Once you get in the failed state, there appears to be no way out other than a restore (which leads you back there eventually). Just the fact that all Apple downloads are effected should help point them to fix. Given this has gone on for a few days now, it appears that the only way to get this fix prioritized will be to keep flooding this thread until the problem appears in the popular press.

Again, 8.0.2 (to get the dots right) does nothing for me. As far as I can see, it is just downloads from whatever download manager Apple provides that are broken. For instance, if you have iTunes match and you have music in the cloud, you can tap play and the music will download and play (and be on your iPad when you go into airplane mode). It will still have a download cloud though. It you try to download it, no joy. If you just try to download it (not play), no joy. This sounds like a single screwed up piece of software to me.

8.0.2 did nothing for me.

Everything was working fine for me for several days and all of a sudden I started having problems. Interestingly, my iPhone 5S is having none of these problems.

Is there someone monitoring this site or where do we go to get help.

There should be someone from Apple monitoring the forums. The best thing to do is keep posting so it stays on the top of the list. The problem now appears to be creeping from the iPad to the iPhone 5s. So, the more complaints the higher the priority to both fix and post the fix as a download.
