App Store icon doesn't display pending updates (notifications)
I've noticed that with many of my friends, they get the notification on top of their App Store icon saying how many apps are pending updates. I do not get these notifications, unless I open the App Store application. If any apps have updates, let's say 3, when I close the app store, then I have the little 3 on top of the App store icon. how do I get these notification automatically without first opening the app store?
If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (pull down the centre of the home screen in iOS 7), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I am using iPhone 4, and I had about 50 apps needed to be updated, which is stated in the App Store icon. I have not had time to update them until today. However, when I was ready to update all the apps, I found out that there was not any apps in the App Store icon needed to be update. Does anyone knows why? Please help. Thank you very much!
This morning I had the same issue - even though I have pending updates, the app store badge is gone and it says all apps are up to date. I, like many others I'm sure, selectively update apps based on reviews. I'm sure there is either an app store refresh/update on Apple's end or a run on the app store causing errors or issues.

App Store and Evernote 3.1.0 update notification error.
I've installed Evernote 3.1.0 via the App Store but the App Store refuses to let go of the notification that there is an update available (even though I'm up to date). When I open up the App Store and go to the updates tab. Evernote 3.1.0 is ALWAYS there and just says "installed". If the App Store recognizes that the app is installed, why won't the notification go away.
I'm seeing the same, but with TextWrangler and Pixelmator. Happened once before with Pixelmator, and updating a second time dealt with it, until the next real update came along. Don't have any other solution to offer, I'm afraid.

Ios8 iPhone6 App Store icons no longer displayed
Hello, on my iPhone 6 and iOS 8.1.1 since 01DEC2014 I see the followi problem:
When updating my apps in the App Store I no longer see the app's icon and all related fotos within the updated app.
The app is updated and works fine.
All apps updated before 01DEC2014 are displayed properly in the App Store.
On my iPad running on iOS 8.1.1 everything is fine, too.
any ideas
Thanks
MichaelProblem solved. Reason was the usage of app 'weblock' which is to to be used to block ads.
Once I deactivated weblock everything is fine again. -
My App Store icon quit working after downloading Lion. How do I reinstall or fix this?
I was so excited when I downloaded Lion on my Macbook Pro. Now my App Store icon doesn't work--it brings up an error message: App Store cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer...reinstall the application...etc. I checked for updates and my system is all up to date. Help?!
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there? -
How do I remove red dot update from App Store icon
I just updated nine iPhone apps via iTunes during a recent sync of my iPhone (5s OSv8.1.2). Update and sync both went fine without a hitch. However, the App Store icon on my iPhone still has a red notification dot with a number 9. I've gone into the app, selected Updates, and noticed that all nine apps are listed there with an "Open" box next to them. I've opened each app and each works fine. I've powered off the phone; same problem.
How do I remove the red dot notification next to the App Store app?
Thanks.Hello, I finally went to the App Store support who rang me back and went through it. It seems that Mountain Lion will not operate iPhoto 9.3.2, you have to have 9.4.2. So trashed the application in my Applications folder (which has cleared my App Store of the hanging iPhoto updater) and they signposted me to the download for 9.4.2 (mind you it is taking hours to download!!) I live in hope that this will fix it. If it doesn't I'll let you know!

the apps store icon on my iphone has dissapperared. how do i get it back on my iphone so i can buy and update apps on my phone?
The App Store icon can't be deleted. You either moved it - to another home screen page or inside a folder, or set a restriction so it doesn't show.
1. Settings > General > Restrictions > (Allow) Installing Apps > ON.
2. Search all Home Screen pages and inside folders
3. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout. -
App Store icon for updates needed is incorrect
The App Store icon on my phone shows that I have apps to update. When I click on the icon to install them, there are no updates to install. The number of UNneeded apps is always '3'. For example, the icon will show that I need 3 updates, when I check there are none to install. If the icon shows 5 updates, when I check there are only 2 to update. This just started happening shortly after iOS 7 was released; I have not installed it, nor do I plan to install it anytime soon. What is causing this? I took a picture showing the icon indicating 3 updates needed and the update page being blank, and I can post it if desired.
I've seen reports of this happening when updates have been issued for apps that make them only work on iOS 7, users of earlier versions of iOS get notified that there are updates pending but when you actually go into the app store updates function it realises they don't apply to you because you are on an earlier version of iOS than what the new versions require.
In fact I just had a very similar experience on my iPod touch with iOS 6, in App Store app it flagged 7 app updates in red badge but when I clicked on the Updates button it only listed two apps to update, once they'd been applied the outstanding updates badge disappeared. -
App Store is showing a count for updates but not displaying any apps that need to be updated
The App Store icon is displaying a count for apps to blue updated, when I open the app and click on Updates nothing is being displayed. I've tried a hard reboot and have tried to sync and it has still not corrected itself.
It's a long running glitch, as the hundreds of threads on this topic demonstrate.
You can wait it out and wait for Apple to fix the servers or you can go into your purchased tab and manually download each update (you'll find the app icons with little update banners on them.
Alternatively, if you sync with a computer, you can use the iTunes on your computer to download the updates then sync them onto your device. -
I bought a Mac Book Pro retina display, Serial Number C02J*****2, on 8/11/2012. Unfortunately, I am unable to download updates from the App store.Whenever I tried to download updates, it shows me an error message, "we could not complete your request. there is an error in the App Store. Try again later (100). Your Apple ID has been disabled, contact iTune support". However,the problem still persists even after my password has been successfully reset. What is is the error in the app store? I really need help to resolve this issue.
Moreover,I also need help how to update to the mountain lion free of charge as my Mac pro is four(4) days old.
Sincerely

I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 7.1. The apps I had previously installed are not showing on the screen. They are located in App Store icon. How do I move the icons so they are showing on the screen.
You can move apps around in iOS 7 the same as iOS 6. Press an app icon until you see it wiggle; then drag it to where ever you want it to be. Drag it onto another app to create a folder with the two apps. Tap the Home button to stop the wiggle.
