App updates won't download...error purchasing app message on 8.1.3

hello, since 3-4 days I notice that app updates aren't downloading on my iPad air 2. I have iOS 8.1.3. I see the message "error purchasing this app" being displayed wherever I tap the update button. When i do "update all", nothing happens...I have tried resetting to default functions, without any resolution..appreciate any help I can get with this issue. Thanks, BVPai

Hi, Bvpai.


Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.


I understand that you are unable your Apps via the App Store on your iPad. Here is the troubleshooting article that I would go through when experiencing this issue.


Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:

  • Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
  • Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update(iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clickingCheck for Update
    on your device's Summary page.
  • Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
  • Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guidefor your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
  • Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
  • Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
  • If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
