Question

Why won't my apps update? In the App Store they just spin and don't update.

Why won't my apps update? In the App Store they just spin and nothing happens. The apps freeze and saw wait and it says like that until you turn the ipad off. I tried updating one app at a time but no luck. I've tried plugging it into the mains.

Ive also noticed that app I update a few days ago and last week are saying they need updating, like it didn't happen. I have 69.8GB of space so it's not a space issue.

iPad 2, iOS 7.1.1

Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings then restart your iPad then update your apps.

If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password then update your apps.

If Carolyn's suggestions don't help. Sign out of your Apple ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Then force restart your iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-20 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Then let go of the buttons and let the iPad start up.

Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID and sign in again.

Sometimes power cycling your router can help. Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.
