App Store not showing updates

When I got to "Updates" in the App Store on my iPhone, it nearly always says "All Apps Are Up to Date", but I've discovered through individual searching that a number of the apps that I have installed have updated versions available. This is pretty frustrating, since I don't want to (and shouldn't have to!) regularly go through and manually check for updates for all of my installed apps. Is there anything that can be done to get the App Store to correctly check and display when updates are available?

Mine is even more bizzare. I'm getting the same problem as you guys where the app store on my iPhone does not seem to be able to detect new updates. To add even more grief, my app store icon on the phone is still showing the number counter with the number 3. Basically that was the last time it was able to retrieve three apps requiring updates and then after updating, the update feature ceased to function and the number has not reset itself.

Mac App Store not showing Updates or Purchases

After upgrading my Mac OS to Yosemite, my App Store isn't showing anything under the "Updates" tab (It did some automatic updates in the background, so the number of pending updates dropped from 13 to 2).
Although I have already signed in to Mac App Store, it says:"You must sign in to view your purchases" under the "Purchases" tab. "Sign in" is a clickable link but when I click it nothing happens.

I'm having the exact same problem.
I can sign in via the menu bar-store-sign in, but it doesn't change anything.
In the bottom right corner of the updates page there's a US flag icon showing, indicating I'm in the wrong store. Unable to change to Norwegian.
I am also unable to go into iCloud in system preferences:

App Store icon shows updates available, but all apps up to date

Just bought Iphone 5c, second day, App store icon shows updates available, but PC, store and other Iphones show none. Tried resetting, updates to ios 8.02, synching, going through each app individually to see if there is an update, no luck.
Wnen I reset, the icon shows a badge with 7 updates available. I opened App Store, bottom right (update icon) showed the same. Tapped it, the update screen appears (as normal), and the 7 on the update icon disappeared, screen says UPDATES All apps are up to date. However, on the home screen, the App store badge still shows 7 updates.
Anyone else having the same prob? What is the fix?

Tried that, tries a soft reset, and a hard reset, no luck. Funny thing is, my other iphones and IPad work fine, its just the Iphone 5.

New updates in app store not showing up...

The app store icon on my macbook dock shows there are 2 new updates, when i open the the app store and select "updates" nothing appears. This has happened ever since I've upgraded the OS to Maverick. Please help...

The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal.

App Store keeps showing update for program that has been uninstalled

The App Store keeps showing an update available for Virus Barrier Express even after I have removed it completely from my system. Going into the Purchased list shows it is not installed. When the application was installed it always said there was an update. No matter how many times you clicked Update and allowed it to download and install the update, the App Store still showed the update needed to be installed.
On another machine it constantly shows an update for one of the installed applications but clicking the update button doesn't clear the update once it's been downloaded and installed.
Deleting the App Store preference hasn't resolved the issue. Enabling the debug menu and using the Reset Applications option has not either.

I found out what was causing my problem (can't re-install an app that I deleted and which was purchased from the App Store). The app I was trying to re-install under Lion was Apple's Compressor v4 which is only available through the Mac App Store. However, even though I was booting from my one-and-only copy of Lion the Mac App Store was apparently getting confused by an old copy of Compressor v3.5 that was installed on another boot disk that I maintain for Snow Leopard. I'm running on a quad-disk Mac Pro so all four disks mount whenever I start the system. In any case, all I had to do was unmount the other disks and the Mac App Store then allowed me to install Compressor v4 on my Lion system.
The reason I was able to pinpoint this solution is that I wanted to run another Mac App Store app (Find Any File) and even though the Store said it was "Installed" I couldn't find the application in either the Lion Application folder or within LaunchPad. I then realized that the App Store was referencing the copy of that app that was stored on my Snow Leopard disk and unmounting that disk finally allowed me to install both Compressor v4 and Find Any File on my actual/current boot disk (i.e. Lion).
Now, the odd thing about this problem is that Compressor v4 wasn't installed on any of my disks, it was the older version of Compressor (v3.5.3) that apparently was preventing me from installing the new version 4 on my Lion system. In fact, Compressor v3.5.3 crashes immediately under Lion so that version of the app isn't even usable when I'm running Lion.
So, if you're having a problem with installation or app removal or updates from the Mac App Store try dismounting any other disks which you might have attached to your Mac and see it that solves your problem. If it does solve the problem then you can almost be assured that the cause of your difficulty is some file that is present on one of your other disks (i.e. app may not even be on your current boot disk).

TS3274 Images of the apps in App Store not showing plus images in some apps

The images of the app in the App Store not loading and images in apps that are already loaded not showing, the text and everything else is fine only the images are not loading..?

Hi, Pepe6.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend closing all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device. Test the App Store after processing these steps.
iOS: Force an app to close

App Store not showing up in ios8

AApp store and iTunes Store not showing up after ios8 upgrade, nor am I able to delete apps (they wiggle bot no x icon). Anyone having a similar problem?

Check what you have set in Settings > General > Restrictions - if 'Installing Apps' is 'off' then the App Store will be hidden, and if 'Deleting Apps' is 'off' then you won't be able to delete apps ; and if 'iTunes Store' is 'off' then iTunes will be hidden

App store not showing app details

Is something wrong with my ipad2 or is there some setting I am not aware of?
Here is what happened: I go to app store to search for an app. Clicked on the app icon to view details. Then proceeded to buy it and got it installed. I then went to search for a different app. Tried to view the details of that other app by clicking on the icon but nothing happens - the page showing the details of that app does not show up. I tried clicking on the other 11 app icons that showed up under that search. None of them responds. But all the other touch sensitive parts of the app store still functions - search box, filter pull down options, sort, next page, etc, etc.
This is not the first time this phenomenon occured. In previous times I did not remember what I did to get to that state where clicking on the app icons in the app store did not respond but I clearly remember on numerous occasions there is no response to clicking.
So is there a setting I don't know about or is my ipad2 malfunctioning?
Thanks.
Just want to add that the little icon with the $ sign on it to buy apps still works. Just the icon with the picture in it does not work.

Thanks, King_Penguin, for the suggestion and quick response.
Before I saw your response, I turned the ipad off and turned it back on (but did not reboot). Since that, I went into the app store and I could get into app details again.
I did not know of this feature you mentioned. Very useful. I tried it and many apps were shown to be running - even many apps that had been recently (past days) run but not since turnning off/on a few minutes ago were still shown as running. That is very weird. At the very least it's not a very efficient use of resources. I killed every single one of them incl app store. After this I could go in & out of various app detail screens.
Should this phenomenon happen again I will try your solution first and see if that alone will do it and report back here.
Thanks again. This is a useful feature to know about.

Mac app store always shows updates for not installed apps

Hi,
I've got fresh install of 10.7.1 (replaced hdd, installed via Restore OS usb flash drive). Everything works properly, except of Mac App Store.
For some reason it shows me as updates all apps I ever purchased. Installed and updated to latest version, as well as not installed yet.
Any way to fix this?
Thanks!

App Store support. There is troubleshooting and a contact link.

App store not showing up in software update.. Any work around for this?

When I run software update it runs and then says that all software is up to date. I don't have an option to install the app store.. Is there any other way to install it?

I totally understand the confusion. That's how I ended up here on the discussion. I am running 10.6.5, so according to Apple's instructions below, this should have worked. Apparently, they need to correct their instructions. Here's what the App Store page says about installing it:
The Mac App Store is available as a free software update for Mac computers running Mac OS X v10.6 or later. If you have an earlier version of Mac OS X, you will need to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
1. Update your software.
Click the Apple icon, then choose Software Update. A dialog will appear on your desktop. Click the Install button in the dialog to begin the installation. You will be instructed to restart your Mac to complete the process.
Thanks for clearing it up.

App Store not showing available update (for X-Code)

Hello,
I regularly check if there are update's for the applications I've purchased and downloaded from the Mac App Store.
So also yesterday.
Result: "all applications are up to date / no updates available".
I have Apple's X-Code installed. Version 4.2.1.
As I browsed the App Store and clicked on X-Code, I saw that the current version was 4.3.3.
Anyone an idea why the App Store said all my applications where up to date where that wasn't the case?
Do I have to check each installed application manually to be sure I have the latest update?
MacBook Pro (early 2011 model) running Mac OS X 10.7.4
Kind regards,
emeu1

If you downloaded Xcode from the App Store the update should have been available but there is a work around for this.
Download this free utility to uninstall Xcode and all the associated files > Download AppCleaner for Mac
Then launch AppCleaner. Then drag the Xcode app from the Applications folder to the AppCleaner window. Delete all the associated files listed in that window.
Now go to the App Store and re download the app. That will install the latest 4.3.3 version.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original download.

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.
