Apps from App Store won't update

[otetzone]

For two days already I can only update the apps on my phone but not in the App Store. When I press the button to update the app it stays pressed for a couple of seconds and then would just return to the previous "Update" state. High Sierra here, iTunes 12.6.

Any help would be appreciated.

Recently had this issue with iPad. Solution was to boot into DFU, do a Restore to factory. Pain, but it worked. I had several other issues before the reset, no OS updates, widgets "could not connect" and forced to go through activation each time I rebooted.

Prior to the factory reset, tried log out\in to iCloud account, reset network settings. Nothing helped till the factory reset.

Maybe a fresh install will cure it for your Mac? But first, maybe try creating a new user account and see if that solves the issues? If so, you know it is a user account corruption issue.

Hi The problem is the App store. Now, Apple will not let you download Apps from the App store to iTunes on your Mac from where you could update your devices if you were using the special version of iTunes. (12.6.5.3)

iTunes Ver 12.6.5.3 not updating Apps

Hi I am running High Sierra and use iTunes version 12.6.5.3 to be able to sync my devices (iPhones, iPads) from a central source. Its been running great until now. I have several Apps that have updates, however when I try to update them in my iTunes library it goes through each one as if it is...

Thanks.
However I can't see any links.
Is there any way to circumvent it? Maybe to use an older version of iTunes? I mean, 12.6.5.3 was intentionally made for the purpose to download the apps. What's the point of having the App Store in this version of iTunes at all then?
