Ipad app store no longer shows updates

ipad app store no longer shows updates. was working fine until a couple days ago - whwt can I do?

If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

HT4623 Troubleshooting the App Store. I show updates but screen is blank

I need help troubleshooting the App Store. I show that I have 8 updates, but my screen is blank

Fix: At least for me. I tried everything suggested and no luck. I then used four fingers and swiped up to reveal the icon bar or whatever you call it. I then long pressed on any of the icons until the negative sign shows up and I then pressed the negative sign on each and every icon until there were none left. I then pushed the physical button so I was on the main screen again and tried the app store again and selected the updates tab. They then all finally loaded. Click like if this works for you.

App Store won't show updates if automatic update is disabled

After updating to iOS 7, I enabled automatic updating of Apps in the App Store. I decided I didn't want to do that so I then disabled it. That was yesterday. Today the App Store update page didn't show any pending updates despite having a badge number (which went away when I went into the store). I knew there were updates since they downloaded to iTunes yesterday so I tried killing the App Store app and loading it again, but nothing changed. Finally I enable automatic updates and sure enough the App Store showed there were 11 pending updates and started downloading them.
When it was done, I turned automatic updates off again, but the App Store doesn't appear to check for or show updates if downloading of automatic updates is turned on and then back of. Is this working for anyone?

I am having similar problems. The App Store icon badge is not updating. I do not use automatic updates. I update all my apps on iTunes on a Windows PC and then sync my iPads and iPhone. The icon badge does not update until the App Store is initiated and Updates is selected. Another strange behavior is that if App Store was initiated and Updates was selected with one or more updates displayed AND the the device is locked, when the device is unlocked the Updates display will be cleared and indicate that all apps are up to date!!!! The App Store must be exited and Updates reselected before the updates are displayed and the appropriate icon badge count is displayed.
You can only rely on an appropriate update count on the device by initiating the App Store (from the Home screen) and selecting Updates.

HT5248 The App Store doesn't show update 9.2 for Pages - What could I do?

When I open pages, I get a notification that I can update to pages 9.2, but when pages opens the App Store, the store doesn't come with any update.
I think it is because I have installed pages via an installation disk.
How can I make pages update to 9.2?
Thank you for answering my question!

iWork '09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
You can also download the standalone updater from this page.

App Store won't show updates.

The App Store Updates section is blank. It won't load the apps needing updates but the badge icon shows that there should be 16. Featured, Top Charts, Genius, and Purchased all appear. This is an iPad 2 on iOS 6.1.3.

There have been numerous reports on the forum today regarding this issue. It seems to be an issue at Apple, but no information has been posted on the status site.

App Store Application - not showing updates

My app store application isn't showing available updates unless I open the app up and refresh it. With my iPod Touch and old phone whenever an app update became available it showed the little red number on the app without actually having to open it. Now I don't know if there is any updates unless I manually open it up and refresh it. Also, the same thing is happening with my facebook app. It's not showing notifications unless I open it and refresh it as well. Any ideas? I do have my push notifications turned on.

Hi,
Restart your iPhone.
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
See if there are updates available.

Mac App Store doesn't show OS X updates

Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion in July, the Mac App Store has stopped showing updates for OS X. It shows normal app updates like Evernote but it didn't notify me for the 10.8.1, the 10.8.2 and the recent Supplemental Update. This happens even after days that the updates are released. I discovered that there were updates available from news sites.
I contacted Apple Support but I was quite rudely shut up. The guy at the phone told me that "this is normal" and that Apple "is not obliged" to issue a notification for all the system updates. I told him that all my Mac-owners friends could download the updates from the App Store but he told me that "they were lying" to me. I was so aghast at his response that I didn't started laughing in his face as he probably deserved. I will find a way to get back to him via an official complaint to his superiors, that's for sure.
Can anyone help me with the Mac App Store issue, anyway? Currently I'm forced to download the updates manually from Apple's site.
Thanks in advance for the support!

It's possible you have a problem with your system. I've had this same issue with Lion. Eventually, I bit the bullet and did a scratch reinstallation which seemed to fix things. But there may have been less invasive solutions I just did not think of or find. So you might start with the following:
Boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
Download a utility such as Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner and use to clear out user, system, and font caches. Restart is immediately required.
Reinstall OS X.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

App Store badge count shows the wrong number in iOS 8.0.2

Just updated to iOS 8.0.2 on both my iPhone 5 and iPad Air and the App Store badge app count still shows the number of apps that had updates even though they were updated when syncing with my Mac.
When you launch the App Store it quickly shows "Update" for a number of apps before then showing "Open"
Anyone else got the same issue or know how to fix it?

Had the same problem with upgrading to 8.0.2 and then having app updates occur while syncing with iTunes - although just for the iPhone not iPad - not sure what I did differently if anything. The badge number on the phone was wrong until I got an over-the-air update notification which reset the badge number. I uploaded the app over-the-air and now there is no badge number (I would assume until the next update). Will try a sync again with iTunes to see if it was something new with iTunes - or just an odd combination of updating to 8.0.2 in conjunction with app updates.

I deleted all Apps on iPad as they were associated with an out of date Apple ID and I could not update them, but the "App Store" logo still shows that there are 2 to be updated and when I go there I cannot delete. Please assist. Thanks.

Why don't you explain what happens when you try to delete these two apps that are showing that they need updates. You can only delete them if they are actually installEd on the iPad. Are they on the device?

When I click on my iPad App Store Updates, the wrong apple ID is showing up. When I go under settings the correct one is displayed under the app store.

Does the wrong Apple ID show up with a particular App or all Apps?
Apps are linked to the ID they were purchased with, so if you have Apps purchased with different IDs you may need to logout with one then log in with another to update the second one.
We've also seen were "free" Apps are downloaded from the Internet, but they are not really free but instead were just hacked by a different user so need to be updated with that account. That can prevent updates. If so, it's best to delete the bogus app and get a good copy from the App Store.

IPad App Store not downloading updated apps

I have an iPad 3 64GB that has been updated to iOS 8. In the last two days, the App Store will not download updated apps. It shows them with a red number, but when I click on Update, I get the circle with a square in the middle but then nothing proceeds. If I go to the individual app, it says "waiting…" but if I click it, it does not change to "paused" as it used to when waiting was shown.
My iPhone 5S is not having a problem, nor is iTunes on my computer.
Sometimes, if I sync the iPad with iTunes, the updated apps will copy over to the iPad, but not every time.
I have done a forced restart on the iPad and have also done a Reset All Settings under the General setting.
It appears that something has gone wrong with the App Store app. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix this short of restoring the iPad to new status and reinstalling everything?

Hi,
Try deleting the apps with the issue from iTunes, and then download and update them again.
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 provides additional tips for troubleshooting issues with applications.

IPad app store software update problem

My iPad app store icon indicates I need software updated. When I go to the app store all screens are working fine except the update software screen, which is blank. The "Updates" and "Search Store" bar is still at the top, as is the "featured" "top charts" "genius" "purchased" and "updates" bar at the bottom. I can easily navigate between the screens. But on this update page between the top and bottom is all white. I've tried shutting on and off, and tried resetting the iPad but neither option works.

Quick workaround,
App store
Purchased.
Go through all apps and hit update on the apps that offer where it should say open or show the icloud icon
Just worked for me

Ipad App Store said "20" updates. I attempted to update w/3G. Now many apps say "Waiting" and are frozen. When I go online and plug into computer it just updates and doesn't address the individual apps, which still say "Waiting" and are frozen.

iPad App Store app said "20 updates". Attempted to update w/3G. Updated some, but now many apps say "waiting" and are frozen. I attempted to update then by attaching to computer Itunes Store. All it did was very quickly go thru the 4 steps and said, "Synched, OK to uplug." I clicked my ipad and then apps. It also said Update complete (or something like that). Now several apps on iPad are frozen and say "Waiting". Help!!

Oh a few other things I forgot.
The long winded back-ups!!!! JESSSSSSH! Although I think the latest update seems to have bit into this a bit.
Also why is it that sometimes when the iPhone is syncing it will not say on the actual iPhone that it is syncing. I see it's syncing in iTunes but the iPhone doesn't have the typical do not disconnect -syncing message!!! What's odd is I can see the new apps being updated to the iPhone and as long as I don't open any apps it will finish it's sync but the minute I open any apps the iPhone will lock-up!!!
