App shows in Updates tab in App Store, but app page reports installed

I've only noticed this since iOS 5, so I'm going to assume there
is a bug around here somewhere. First noticed it when using the
Store button from news stand.
So the problem is. I load up app store, tap the Updates button
in the tab bar. Up comes app xyz, with an update. In the
tableview it reports version 5.2 (which is what is reported when
looking in the iTunes store). I tap on the item, it brings me to
the app page with a button titled "installed".
While on the app page I notice the version number here also
reports 5.2; however, if I tap the back button, I return to the
tableview with the app that needs updating but doesn't. Now
that I've returned here, the version number for this update is
being presented as 5.3..
I tap on the item once again, and within the app page again
it reports 5.2...
The last time I had an issue with the app store I simply
terminated the app by clearing it from the list down at the
bottom of apps that have been put into the background and
then running the app store app once again.
And from there I get identical results.
I'm assuming this is a bug, considering I have do not recall
encountering this before upgrading to iOS 5.

Welcome to the discussions,
did you try to restore your phone and set it up "as new iphone" without using the backup? Your backup may contain corrupt files causing your problem.

I have Snow leopard, 10.6.8 on my iMac, I just tried to install Lion from the App store, but during proces, the install stops after one minute saying: "software might be damaged". I downloaded the software again, same thing. What must I do to install Lion? I have still 487GB free.

Quit all other programs and open Disk Utility
Select your "MacintoshHD" drive on the left and indented and click Erase > Erase Free Space > Zero and let it complete.
Also run First Aid > Repair Disk and permisisons.
If Repair disk gives a error, you have a bigger problem, if repair permisisons fixes and completes, even if it fixes the same thing twice if you click it again, it's ok. Apple just changed things.
You should be able to download the file sucessfully this time, if not, take it to another location with better/faster internet.
If not then run through this list

When you download something from the iCloud, it is a brand new licensed copy. Your iCloud account just contains a notation that you have this app. It isn't storing an actual copy of the app from your Mac.

Why does App Store icon show updates ready, but no updates show on update tab

My home screen started showing that I had updates on the App Store icon, three days ago. Next day it showed three, then four and now it shows five updates, but when I go to Updates tab, I get just blank screen.

There are a number of threads on this topic, not only for iPad but for iPhone as well. Appears to be an issue on Apple's side (not on our device). Not all users are being effected (I've had no issues whatsoever, for example). Nothing specific to this is reported on the Sytems status page (http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/), so the general assumption is that you need to wait it out.
You might try a search to see if there any possible solutions or steps needed to re-establish the link to itunes/app stores. Sometimes after this sort of outage there are some actions that help get you reconnected more quickly. not sure if that is the case with this one.

Options Startup Show my Windows & Tabs from last time,but upon exit FF doesn't ask to save tabs & windows. When restarting FF I have a home pape,but no Bookmark tabs show. Why

Upon starting FF and going to my Home Page, I have no Bookmarks or Tabs showing. I have to Re-load the Bookmark Tabs. My options at Startup are "Show my Windows & Tabs from last time" Also using the Firefox exit,it does not ask to save tabs & windows on Exit. I'm getting tired of adding Bookmark Tabs each time I want to use FF.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Tv show not found on apple tv store but on itunes

HI,
I'm trying to find a particular tv show on my apple tv and I want to buy it. The show is not available at all on the apple tv store but, when I'm looking for it on my ipad, I can buy it.
Why can't I purchase that show on my apple tv?
Both my devises are set up the same (Canada) and with the same account information.
Please help, my son wants to see the next episode.
The show in question is: Legend of Korra : book four : balance.
Thanks

On your iMac go to iTunes > Preferences > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases.
Then look under your TV Shows and see if it shows your purchased episodes there with a cloud icon.

My iPhone 3s keeps showing that there are updates from the ap store but when I try to update it says all apps are up to date. Also when I select purchased apps it just gives me a blank page and not a list as expected

My iPhone 3GS keeps showing I have app updates but when I go to
App Store It tells me all apps are up to date. Also when I select
purchased apps It just gives me a blank page.

Launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / View My Account
Click: Edit Payment Information
Make sure you have the correct Security Code.
Then click: Done
And try resetting your Apple ID password. https://iforgot.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/DSiForgot.woa/wa

My iPod touch will access the app store, but it won't install from it.

I was given a used iPod Touch, and I don't know any of its history. Eveything was working fine, and then one day I tried to install from the App store and it won't work at all. I can press the "install" button, but then the app store will just close without even setting up an icon on the home screen. If I try to install the same app again, there's no record that I had tried to install it previously. I use this for school, so this is really annoying.
PS: I am a clueless Windows user, and have never owned and i-anything until now. =)

Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Make sure you are using the same Apple ID used for the original download of both apps.

Podcast not updating on iTunes Music Store but it's ok on Feed

Hi, we've been posting a podcast every two weeks on iTunes Music Store for more than a year, the podcast name is sushi pop. This is the feed that we're using http://feeds.feedburner.com/ColissioncomSushiPop but since almost a month it hasn't been published on iTunes Music Store, anyone could help us with this? Thanks a lot, have a nice day.

Neither the Store nor iTunes when subscribing is showing episodes 25 and 26.
Your earlier episodes each have two 'enclosure' tags: if both contained playable media iTunes would ignore the second (you can't have more than one enclosure per episode). However in each case the first one contains a bit.ly URL which downloads the media file. This is not acceptable to iTunes, which thus defaults to the second enclosure, which does contain a playable URL. (The test is that the URL, when pasted into a browser's address bar, plays the episode in the browser, not downloads it.)
However episodes 25 and 26 have only one enclosure each, containing a bit.ly URL, again downloading the file. Since the episode contains no playable media iTunes does not display it.
You need to stick to one enclosure, containing a direct URL to the media file.
