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.

How to upgrade to aperture 3.5 when the app store does not show the update. I did buy aperture 3 on DVD not thru the app store. what to do?

I can not open aperture databases anymore as osx10.9 keeps telling me i have opened it with a newer version, which i have not but i understand from other discussions that thru the upgrade of iphoto osx automatically thinks that you have opened with aperture 3.5. the app store does not show me the update as i have not purchased the program thru the app store but on dvd. what to do?

If you are running MacOS X 10.9 and Aperture is installed in your Applications folder and simply called Aperture, not Apertre 3 or something, the AppStore should be showing you the update.
Have you already updated to Aperture 3.4.5 from the Support page Aperture 3.4.5?
Try to update manually to 3.4.5 and then reboot and sign again into the AppStore with your AppleID and look at the Update page.
For some forum members it helped to set the main system language to English U.S. to make the update finally show.

App Store has not up date for over 24 hours now, it was updating as usual early AM Nov. 6th, I have changed nothing, App Store will not let update or purchase happen now. Anyone know why? Thank you.

Itunes app store is not showing screen shots (windows 7)

Hi,
Over the last few weeks it seems the app store isn't showing screen shots when i click to see more info about the app. I've been looking at ipad apps, sometimes i get some screen shots but mostly i dont. I've read a thread about resetting the cache in preferences but this didn't work.
Its really harsh not being able to see screen shots before you purchase.
Any ideas!?
Thanks!!!!

Having the same issue as OP. iPad only apps don't show any screen shots in iTunes or on the Web, but i see them on iTunes Connect. Mac App Store applications are showing their screen shots just fine as are iPhone apps.
Does this have something to do with widescreen on iPad, retina display?? We used high quality screen shots for our applications, the best quality the developers guide mentions.
We double checked the Developers Reference Guide for specifications on screen shots and tried 3 of the suggested formats(JPEG, TIFF, PNG) with reso 1024x768 px but nothing has changed since thursday (june 23rd) last week.
0%       iPad applications show screen shots on the iTunes store for me as I write this.
100%   iPhone applications show screen shots.
100%   Mac App Store show screen shots...
Anyone have any more to add? suggestions?
I have already entered a bug report for this.
Here's a few things that have worked for others althought they have not worked for me. These are pulled from this community forum.

I tried doing
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Reset cache
but that didn't work for me even with restarting iTunes afterward.
However, here's what did fix the problem. Launch
/Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences
Under the 'General' tab click both of the "Restore Defaults" buttons.
Changes take effect after re-launching iTunes.

iTunes uses the same Web Engine as Safari to display the store, so the Safari update could be the issue.
Try running Repair Permissions, it is in the Disk Utility software that is in your Utilities folder.

HT204266 App store does not display updates

App store will not display updates, any body know how to fix this.

There are various other threads here that cover the same issue...with that being said
The problem could very well be on Apple's end...maybe a server issue with the App Store. I just checked my iPhone 5 updates under Wi-Fi and get nothing but a white "Updates" screen with the busy cog spinning endlessly. Everything else loads fine...web pages & all other aspects of the iTunes Store. Updates is the only thing that is not working.
Checking the System Status page (http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/) show no issues, however it may not have been updated/Apple is not yet aware of the issue.

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.

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 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.

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.

Mac App Store will not show 3.2.2 as an available update

I upgraded to Lion last week, but Aperture 3.2.2 is not showing up as an available update. Will I be stuck with 3.1.3 until Apple releases the next update? I'm not sure what to do.
Thinking out loud...could the Mac App Store may be confused about what version of Aperture I'm using? I downloaded Lion on the first day that it was available, but I didn't install it because I had some Rosetta applications. In the interim from when I downloaded Lion and installed it, I think Aperture was updated to 3.1.3. Is there a way to reset the Mac App Store so that it will rescan my apps for available updates?

Is Aperture installed in the system Application folder as Aperture (noting else no Aperture3.1.3 or anything like that)
Did you buy 3 from the App Store? Are you logging in to the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy Aperture?
In the App Store in the Purchases tab what is listed?
If all the above is OK then you could just remove Aperture from the Application folder (drag it to the Desktop) and then go to the App Store. It should allow you to download the app again and will give you the latest version.

TS1702 Updates in App Store is not showing the Apps list

After updating iOS to 6.1 in my iPhone 4s, while tapping 'Updates' in App Store, it is not showing the Apps list, though over the icon it is showing that 11 Apps has got Updates available.

hi
i've had your same proble,
you have to go on settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign out.
after this restart your device:
Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home buttonat the bottom center of the face at the same time.
Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
ok, now go to settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign in again
... for me it worked
bye bye let me know if it works even for you!

You haven't told us which version of iOS you're running.
Anyway, is it restricted? Check Settings > General > Restrictions

Non app store items not showing up in launchpad

Non-App store apps located in the Applications folder are not showing up in Launchpad (Example: Pixelmator).

There's more than one page to Launchpad. It seems that anything you install on your own will go to page 2 or later. You can easily move them to the first page by draggin them around.

App Store Applications Not Working

It took a few hours but I found the solution to this problem.
Here is a brief description of what happened:
Went to App Store on my new iPhone 3G and downloaded three applications: Monkey Ball, eBay and Jott.
At first all three worked. (Monkey Ball is a great game but difficult to control)
I stopped running the applications and did some other things with my iPhone 3G. (email, safari, you tube, etc...)
I then tried to run Monkey Ball again. It showed the Splash Screen for a few seconds and then the iPhone went back to the main display. The Monkey Ball application just "turned off" and went away.
I tried to load the other applications and ran into the same problem. They would try to load and then the main iPhone display with the icons would show.
I tried to do a full reset by holding both buttons for 10 seconds. That did not help.
I was about to do a restore when the solution occurred to me:
1: Hook the iPhone to your computer and start the Sync process.
2.1: iTunes will ask you if you want to transfer your applications to your computer. It will warn you that if you don't the applications will be deleted from your iPhone. THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT.
2.2: If you have already transferred your applications to your computer, then BEFORE you start the sync you need to delete the applications from iTunes on your computer. Do this by clicking on Applications in the left menu and then right-clicking on the bad application and selecting Delete.
3: Tell iTunes that you DON'T want to transfer your applications to your computer and allow it to delete the applications from your iPhone.
4: Reset your iPhone by pressing the two buttons for 10 seconds.
5: Go back to the App Store and re-download and install the application(s).
NOTE: It will look like the App Store is going to charge you for the application again but at the last minute it will say that you already bought the application and will not be charged.
Basically what you are doing is deleting the application from your iPhone and reinstalling it.

The problem has to do with the iPhone OS 2.0.2. It is still buggy.
My unit at first froze, however, I was able to shut down and restart the iPhone. After restart... ALL my App Store apps stopped working (launch at first then go back to home screen). ARGGGGG !!!!!!
I noticed initially when I installed apps from my iMac to the iPhone it took:
5 seconds per app....
after 30 installed apps it took 60 seconds to install an app
after 90 installed apps it took 70 seconds to install an app
after 110 installed apps it took 75 seconds to install an app
The last app never installed, instead I got this unknown error (0xE800002d) go figure.
110 apps equaled to 324 MB... plenty of free space left. What gives?
I believe, Apple's OS has a serious problem managing flash memory, in particular in the app layer of the OS. When the OS tries to thread from one mem array to another in our case, OS array to App array, there exists too much latency and the app crashes & corrupts the iphone app kernel. The temp fix would be to just re-install the iphone app kernel upon iphone reboot.
http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/07/02/iphone.crowds.out.samsung/
I believe, Apple has incorporated some cheap flash memory from particular manufacturer(s) with slow read and write times and now they are having to scramble to re-write code in the OS to compensate for the NAND chip differentials of millions of deployed iphones they have put into the market.
http://www.forbes.com/2007/06/13/iphone-flash-memory-tech-wireless-cxbc0614iphone.html+
Let's all hope Apple can put their arms around this issue and put it to bed.
I'd like to use the apps I bought one day and not worry about the apple screen of death!
