Unable to download/update apps on my iPad Air 2 (iOS 8.2). Anyone else facing the same issue?

I'm unable to download or update my apps/books from the AppStore on my iPad.


I googled for some solutions, but none of them worked. I am able to see that the download circle fills up when I try to get an app, but then a pop up says that it's unable to download at this time. Same with updates.


Does any one have any pointers? This is getting really frustrating.


Cheers!

iPad Air, iOS 8.2

Hi, jimac.1729.


Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.


I understand that you are unable to download or update an App. Sometimes simply forcing all apps to close and restarting the device can resolve this issue. Also, try going through the steps outlined below.

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 clicking
    Check 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 guide for 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.
