App Store app update does not work

The app store update is not working. "Update All" is greyed out. When I tap on individual apps' "Update" button, it just opens the app and does not update it. I've closed App Store and restarted it and I've rebooted my iPhone. This is new. Seems like it just started after updating the App Store, ironically.

Thanks to all for their suggestions. This problem happened to me on my IPAD. I updated to IOS9 today, hoping that would fix the problem, but no.

So I did what one person suggested - I shut off IPAD completely. Then, turned it back on, when to the app store, clicked on "updates' and IMMEDIATELY, hit the Update All button. The Update All button is only available for a split second, but now everything is updating. How stupid and riduculous.

Shame on Apple for not responding to this open question for such a long period of time. It's obviously a common problem.

I doubt this is the fix for all, but I had the same problem, beginning 9/16/15. I opened the app store, and went to update all. Then it went gray. After all the googling, and no help. I said screw it and was going to update to 9.0. (I can't reset settings or anything because I'm jailbroke) So I have to do a full restore. And last minute I update my payment information in Itunes, and as soon as I hit update, the update all button came back.


Hope it works for others.
