But you ended up updating them all anyways.
The update list shows what has been updated for each individual app (developer changelogs). Even if you wanted to update one app at a time, it takes about 5 seconds per an app. Your complaint is moot.
Got a tip for us?

This is about the worst complaint we have had around here in awhile. I am just trying to wrap my brain around this one but for the life of me, I just really think people need something to complain about at all times. If nothing exists at that moment, they make something up.
From all this drama I see that you are doing this for your boss. That's your job, right? Do the job or quit and don't take the money. If you dislike Apple so much, never buy anything from them. It's a tool, not a way of life! Had you merely punched update all, none of this would have happened.
I don't think I believe anything you posted.
When you go to the update screen not only do you have an Update All button, but you have a list of all the updates. This way if you select all you can see which updates will be applied.
This is stupid...
OP: "Ugh! It's sooooo annoying to have to update each app individually!"
Everybody points out the OP is blind as there are UPDATE ALL buttons in both iTunes and in the app store.
OP: "Well... Well... Update all is stupid! I need to go through each app individually because who knows what they are installing!"
Your Style < Apple's Style.

People, people, two keywords in the OP's post, Flash and Android. Just trying to get attention.
He didn't have to run updates. New terms of agreement was 36 pages. $20 says he doesn't know the Android Marketplace terms of agreement. (I have a copy on my iPad to shut a couple of fanboys up).
Why did it say goto a computer and log into iTunes to continue? I have never seen that. I bet it didn't.

So I have a Linux box. I never update it, it runs for 2 years. Now I check the update because I want to update one app and it wants to update even my kernel!
So I have to wait a tremendous amout of time before it checks the dependencies, then it finally proceeds to download update.
But wait, thats not all, now it updated the kernel and wants to restart! Oh my god, that is pain in the ass.
See my point?

The OP has MANY good points, not the least of which is that I should be able to queue downloads from the apple store.. period. This back and forth bs is a pain.. there are reasons why one doesn't use update all.
Yep I agree, you should be able to queue downloads from the app store. I believe the reason they don't is so you can see where they are being installed. I can find my apps.
But where the OP loses credibility is working in the terms Flash and Android into the story, and then whining and adding drama about having to agree to the new terms. I also feel the part about having to goto his VM is untrue. Every step involved drama. My life goal is to simplify things. iPad fits into that goal nicely.

Exactly. I have a friend that complains about iTunes always bugging him to update. It's painfully obvious that he never does which is why he has an issue.
To the OP, every app that has an update also has a changelog (which you obviously have seen since you updated them one by one [who does that!?]). I check the changelog of all the apps that have an update then tap "Update All." Takes me maybe 10-20 seconds to read them all depending on how many apps have updates (maybe 3-5). Seriously. It's bloody easy.

Good grief!, What a bunch of babies!
It probably took you complainers more time to post your complaints than you spent updating your IOS devices for the last year.
Because updating them all at the same time would waste 2 minutes of your time. Honestly, it's not that hard. iTunes occasionally updates their TOS, just agree. If you later find out you're opposed to what you agrees to close your account. If you're one who wants to read each and every page either quit the service or suck it up. The newest update took less than 10 minutes of my time, it's not difficult.
"Which update i require" Sorry, thats the dumbest statement ive heard in a while. You dont "update blindly" each update has details on what it fixes.
Just updated all my Apps using the handy "update all" feature
AND agreed to the new iTunes terms
Hmmmm
I must have done something wrong, cause it only took me a few seconds

Yes. Yes you did. If it is anything less than a major P.I.T.A., you screwed something up. Also, if you don't have the sudden and inexplicable urge to drink afterwards....start over.
The whole changing of the Terms & Conditions is nothing new - they've done this a few times, especially with major updates (this one added in-app subscriptions). What gets me is how convoluted the process was originally, and how this is apparently a hassle.
Then again, if iOS's app updates were done in-app (like a lot of Mac OS and Windows ones), the OP would be complaining about that. I don't really see how this could be Apple's fault, but then again, I seem to be in the majority.

It's pretty annoying how downloading/updating apps forces you out of the app store. It's pathetic. Literally every single other mobile OS can do it in the background as it should. And they JUST added the feature to cancel downloads.
I'm pretty seriously considering selling my iPad and getting a XOOM. Let's see if they have a Wi-Fi only model, first. Not just because of this, but because of the countless other ways in which Apple mistreat their customers.

I really have to agree about forcing you out of the app store when you download something. It's just plain stupid.
Ok, since everyone else is ripping you for not using the UPDATE ALL button, I think I'll rip you for something else. You can thank me later.
Who seriously reads the EULA or the iTunes policy? They all are like a billion pages long. It is hardly unique to Apple. Go out and have a beer and move on with your life instead of coming here and complaining about nothing.
There is more than enough case law to say that if EULA's are enforceable they are only enforceable to the extent that would be reasonably expected for the product in question. So you could agree to a EULA that says you'll give Apple your arm but it wouldn't be enforceable.
If you are happy you understand the basis of what your agreeing with why bother reading. If you do read it and still agree then the more interesting terms may well be enforceable.
Also clearly if the iPad is being used for mission critical stuff, then they should buy you one so you can become familiar.
It's awesome how, so far (not going to bother reading any further) nobody offered to help and called OP dense etc...Apple folks ARE snobs.
Not really much to help with. He came here to rant and opinions were voiced, that simple.
