New iPad and Clips and Apple Store Apps won’t update

Found a workaround, but still no Clips icon, it’s totally missing.

I launched it through Siri “Hey Siri Launch Clips”. Siri said I didnt have an app named Clips, but then launched it. After watching the intro video I was able to update.

Still no icon, and now Siri won’t launch either (same error about no app named Clips but now wont launch it). I can find it in App Store and Open from there. Icon shows in list of last 3 apps launched but can’t drag the icon to an empty page.

I had this problem with two apps - Clips and Apple Store - and the normal reboot etc advice didn't work for me for months now. I just solved this by going into each of the apps and the first or second screen to come up in both was one that said there was a new version and I should update. Clicking on the <update> button took me back to the App Store and this time when I clicked on the update button next to the app, it actually updated.

When I tried this solution, I began with the Apple Store app. When I opened it, the app notified me that it needed to be updated and prompted me to do so inside the app. Once done, I went back to app updates and Clips allowed me to update it from there without opening it first.

Thanks for this solution - it fixed this annoying problem for me.

Open the CLIPS app, which will prompt you to update at the App store. Select that. CLIPS updates. Then go back to the App Store and the App Store app will update OK.

Credit to earlier to post, but wanted to add that updating CLIPS seemed to free up App Store updating of App Store.

As for Apple: Never confuse wealth with intelligence. Apple has

lots of one and too little of the other.

Same prob here: Clips won’t update! So annoyingThis is Clara from the Get Fit Challenge anal retentive needs for that red notification number i

on the app icon to go away,😂 But it won’t cuz Clips won’t update!!!

I found I had to launch those two apps first then update them when prompted rather than update them from the App Store app directly.

Worked for me

My Apple Store App won’t update.. please help..

It seems that you have to open clips that on your iPad, then it will automatically update itself.

Thank you for responding. As I’m not very technologically savvy.. is “Clips” and app?

*an

Thanks, that fixed it for me 🙂

Try opening the App. This should force an update from the server.

I’m confused about the difference between launching and opening. Can you please walk me through this?

Think they mean the same thing.
