When the whole fiasco started, automatic updates were on. When Marty posted his update notice, I went and checked, and two apps were waiting to be updated. That's when the raindance started to try to get them to update. I found countless other people on the Apple site as well as other sites with the same issues. Various "solutions" were offered, and I tried a few of them. Toward the end of my rope, one of the "solutions" apparently worked, because I finally got them updated. This is a new iPad, 4th generation, very little done to it except the IOS update to 8.0.2
From all I read, the whole IOS 8 release cycle has been one screwup after another, I'll bet they're missing Steve Jobs now over there at Apple. This doesn't appear to be the typical smooth update rollout they all sing about.
