IMAMATEEN

I Clicked the icon and it just sat there. No second offer to update was given. It is for my I Pad 7.0 but it would still be comparable I would imagine.

I had this very same issue. Check how much space you have left on your device and how big the particular update is. It may be that your device simply doesn't have enough space to download any new content/updates. This was the issue for me. Once I deleted a few apps/cleared out my phone a bit, I was able to update the app and the App Store stopped opening the app when I hit "update". This is also why your apps may not longer be automatically updating. Go to settings, then general, then usage to see how much space you have on your device. The size of the update is listed in the App Store under your updates. Hope this helped!

The solution that worked for me is by downloading a new app, so then i can enter my apple password so the apps will update. Then restarting and hard resetting the device after that it will require you to type in your password and DONE!!

Worked perfectly.

I just had the same issue, this is how i fixed it

go to Settings > General > Software Update

I updated my phone with the latest updates and finally my apps got updated

Same for me!

im using iPhone 6 & on iOS 8... Couldn't update at all

i've logged out App Store n now cannot log in as kept on showing "cannot connect to App Store!"

can anyone give advice???

i found that it seemed to be an update all issue i stopped my download progress (which was 0) and started downloading the apps from the bottom to the top 1 at a time and it seemed to work. Hope this helps

WWow!!! Turning OFF Restrictions suddenly allowed me to see/use/update Pandora app & cable tv app!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

I'm sure this has gotten taken care of by the ppl here but for the next person with this issue here's what I did thanks to the person who posted to check "restrictions ". I went to Settings > General > Restrictions and turned on "in app purchases" which my toddler must have turned off while playing with my phone. Fixed the problem for me.
