App Store Automatic Updates

I'm very new to the iPhone....is the iPhone App Store supposed to check for new apps automatically and post an icon/badge? on the App Store icon or is the only way to check for new apps is to manually launch App Store and check for updates? I have a 3GS with iOS 4.
Thank you,
Rob

I don't know the answer to your question, but I too would like to know if the search for updates can be done manually. My reason is that my data in out of hand, and I am trying to limit the use of each app. I would like to do all the update work, including the search on wifi.

  • HT4623 How do I delete from the apps store an updated app that was downloaded? Prior to iso7.2.0 once the app was downloaded it was automatically deleted from the updated section in the App Store.

    How do I delete from the apps store an updated app that was downloaded and shows open? Prior to iso7.2.0 once the app was downloaded it was automatically deleted from the App Store.

    You don't.
    The update section will continue to show recently updated apps due to the ability to auto download updates.
    It effects nothing, just ignore them.

  • App Store shows updates, opens apps instead, update through search

    So I have the badge showing 8 updates. The update tab shows 8 as well. I clicked update and it opened the app instead of updating. I used the search tab and searched for one of the apps needing an update. Here the app shows open. I clicked open and it prompted me for my apple password (shouldn't happen for updates btw) and then updates the app. I go back to the updates tab and it's moved down under updated October 10, 2014 but still shows update. I click update and it opens the app. I went back to the search again and clicked open where it opened the app.

    This bug applies only to jealbroken devices. Bug started 10th october (until that date is everything OK) and most probably is associated with the latest AppCake update. Setting up automatic updates partially solves the problem (Settings - iTunes and App Store - Automatic downloads - turn Updates ON). Apps are being updated, but "UPDATE" button is still present instead of "OPEN" button.

    You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
    but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

  • App Store says update available for iPhone app. Try to install and get the message "the item you are trying to buy is no longer available" for three apps in a row.

    App Store says update available for iPhone app. Try to install and get the message "the item you are trying to buy is no longer available" for three apps in a row. Even when I go to the specific app and press Update, the update begins to install then aborts with this error message.iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1.1. Also very long delay typing each keystroke in this message.

    That error message is usually indicative of a problem with the App Store. If you look through the forums, you'll see that a number of people are experiencing the problem. Try again tomorrow.

  • When i go to the app store to update the one app that needs to be updated, the screen is blank.  It used to list all the apps that need updating and have a button called update all.  Now nothing.  Just a blank screen.

    There's been a problem with this all day.  Seems to be a server problem  -  wait a day and try again, or use itunes on the computer to update, that works.

  • Mac App Store / Keynote Update Install Fails

    For a month I have been receiving notifications from the Mac App Store to update Keynote to Keynote 5.3
    I do, it says it is installed and then I received the same notification, repeat with same result 12 times.
    What is (or isn't) going on ?
    Thanks !

    My apologies. Time and OSX version fly.
    It is actually OS X 10.8.2
    Thanks for pointing that out.

  • How can I sign out or remove the old apple ID in app store's updates?

    I created a new apple id and signed in the app store. When I update my apps, it requires me to sign in with my old apple id, and I cannot sign out my old id. How can I sign out or remove the old id in app store's updates?

    Delete those applications and then download them from the new Apple ID. This may require repurchasing them.

  • App store - Error updating apps

    When Mavericks came out, I did a clean install of the OS. The first thing I did upon logging in, was reverting iTunes back to 10.7 before I opened it so it wouldn't update my iTunes library files and make them incompatible with any version lower than 11 (I went backt to 10.7 some time ago).
    However, this seems to cause a problem with the App store - specfically updating apps. Whenever I try to update anything, I get this error message:
    After going to the purchases page, it then looks like this:
    And so after trying to update it from the purchaes page, I still get this error message:
    The only work around I have found to work is to update itunes to version 11, update the apps, then downgrade back to 10.7 again. This is a hastle so I'm wondering if there is an easier way. Obviously the app store in Mavericks needs iTunes 11 installed for it to work correctly - so I was thinking, was there a way to trick OSX into thinking that I have iTunes 11 installed when I actually have 10.7? I'm assuming there must be a file somewhere included in the version 11 install that the app store looks for to work with?
    Any advice/help would be appreciated!

    Agreed. You're most likely putting the system to sleep while its trying to do those updates. Let them complete before closing the lid or shutting off the power.
    Also check the sleep settings in the sys prefs under Energy Saver.
    Make sure the CPU sleep is set to be long enough that it can complete the downloads before shutting down.

  • When I try to log into the app store to update apps or buy apps the user name that appears is an old one and it will not bring up the current user name/ email how do I stop that so that my current email show up ??

    Settings>Store: Tap the AppleID and choose "Sign Out", it will then prompt you to sign in and you can use the new AppleID.
    NOTE: Apps must be updated with the AppleID they were purchased under.

  • Apple Id is wrong in the App Store, cannot update apps.

    I have an apple ID, which I have verified and matches both on my itunes and under my settings, itunes and apps. However when I go to my App Store to update my apps, it brings up the wrong apple ID, which is no longer my apple ID, and will not allow me to change it and update my apps. I have signed in and out multiple times with no success. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID
