App Store on iPhone - Updates Problem

Hello Geeks,
I do not believe anyone is experiencing my problem but just in case one of you experts out there will know a quick fix for this.
My App Store icon is showing a number "3". That is how many apps on my phone that have an update available. I proceeded into the store and updated the apps on my phone. Done!
Problem, that was a few days ago. Ever since that update the number "3" on the icon has not reset and it's still showing although the apps have already been updated. Furthermore, iTunes today is showing me that there are apps available for updates but my App Store on the phone is not receiving a new list of updates.
So essentially the app store program on the phone seems to have the updates feature stuck. The update number counter for the icon is not resetting. The updates feature in the app store checks for updates but finds none although there is. Everything else is working, i.e. searching and installing apps.
Thanks!

Exactly as the poster above me.
Here is some more info for you guys. If you need more, let me know!
My 1st iPhone had this problem, did a full restore on it still had the problem, then had a hardware issue and exchanged it. The 2nd iPhone, got it, put old sim card in, updated the firmware via iTunes, then synced all of my music/apps (with all of them updated). And on the iPhone under App Store, it still shows 2 updates, even though iTunes says they are all up to date.
In iTunes on my Macbook Pro, if I click on the applications, and select check for updates, it checks, then says no updates available.
Here are some screenshots of my iPhone to help clarify..

After you click App Store and click Updates, this is the screen you get after it loads.. no matter how long you leave it sitting on that screen. (and yes its been tried on different wifi's/no wifi.)

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

    Check Settings > General > Restrictions, and check out Contacts toward the bottom under the privacy restrictions.
    That sounds like the probable cause you cannot add contacts.
    Regarding the iCloud behavior, that sounds like it got huge (35,000) because of incorporating other contacts (from social media, perhaps).  Also contacts sync has nothing to do with iCloud behavior.  The whole idea of keeping your contacts in the cloud is that once you change them on one device, they change everywhere.  Specific syncs are not relevant.

  • Is the app store and itunes having problems? I cant open them in my ipad and I cant buy anything on my iphone

    Have you restarted your phone?
    If so, try a reset. Press and hold the home & sleep/wake buttons until the screen goes blank, ignoring the power off slider if it comes up.
    Check for the app again after the phone starts back up.

  • When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two

    When I try to buy any app or song from iTunes app or app store on iPhone 5 it seems to start the stops and goes back to baseline in a second or two.
    It did it with my old iPhone 4 in last month or so, and it I hoped it would go once I updated to new iPhone 5. The problem has transferred to new phone too.
    I can't sign in to iTunes account on iPhone. It takes the password then resets to baseline. No error message comes up. On the base computer (pc) it will allow me to sign up and buy songs, apps etc. I can then sync the phone and put them on it. It just won't let me buy direct from the .
    As there are no error messages I am at a loss what to do. I have updated the payment details on my account, and my husband has an iPhone 4 and has no such problems. We share the same wifi. I have tried with 3G as well as wifi, with no luck.
    I am pretty much out of ideas, and have tried searching forums but there is so much overlap between queries that I can't find a similar problem from someone else, but I am sure it exists!
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thanks in advance

    I figured it out!
    I read a solution for something that sounded similar.
    Anyone in similar position:
    Open iTunes app on iPhone, and pick an option from bottom, such as music. Then scroll down to bottom of page and where your iTunes ID is, press on it, and pick sign out.
    Then return to home screen, and double press home button and press and hold on first icon showing, until a minus symbol appears in the top left of icons present. Press on each minus symbol on each app in turn, until all app icons have disappeared. Then Restart the phone by pressing and hold the home button and the on/off/standby button at top of phone, until the apple symbol appears in centre of blank screen.
    Swipe to turn phone fully on and open settings and scroll down to iTunes and apps option and tap that. Pick sign in and put in your apple ID, it will accept it and then return to home screen and open iTunes a you'll find it works fine
    Simple really, but some like me won't think f this themselves!
    Hope that helps

    i have an iphone 4 and ipad 3rd gen.
    Sometimes when i use the app store.
    The app store in iphone looks like an ipad version ( stretched like ipads) . Bigger icons and need to pan to see the apps.
    The app store in iPad looks like a iphone version . smaller icons and it shriked to the left hand side of my ipad.
    Anybody is having this issue. any reasons for this. how to resolve this.

    Try to reset the password at this page:  iforgot.apple.com?
    If this does not work, because you have no recovery email address or don't remember your security questions, useone of the options described here in this link:
           Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    If that is impossible for some reason, you need to give Apple Support a call - only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone umbers given or an email form:

  • TS3274 My App Store shows 3 updates but when I go to it the screen is blank. It will not give me the option to update all or one at a time, it doesn't show the apps at all.

    My App Store shows 3 updates but when I go to it the screen is blank. It will not give me the option to update all or one at a time, it doesn't show the apps at all.

    Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
    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.

  • App store tries to update an app that doesn't need updating

    I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 5.0.1.  For the last week or so whenever I try to update apps using the app store's "Update All" button I get an error saying:
    Schwab Mobile and 1 other app cannot be purchased.
    After which point the Schwab app is grayed out with a "Loading" bar on it.  The weird thing is that Schwab is already up to date, the version I have installed is 2.1.1.1 which according to the app store is the latest.  Also the app is not in the list of apps that the app store wants to update.  The app will become unusable while in this state since it never actually loads.  The only way out of it is to do a hard reset of the iphone using the home and sleep buttons.  The next time I try to update any app on the phone the same thing happens again.  I should add that all other updates complete just fine, they load and install and come back for use.
    I've tried deleting and re-installing the Schwab app (which it can do just fine).  I've also tried syncing the phone with my mac, nothing seems to help.  It's mildly annoying to have to do a hard-reset after every time I update any app in order to get something I frequently use like Schwab back.
    Any ideas what's up and how to fix it?  I don't know how to make the app store realize that it doesn't need to be purchased or updated or whatever.
    Thanks for any help!

    Could you turn on automatic downloads on your phone and then trigger the download in iTunes?

  • App Store shows Twitter update again and again

    Hello boys and girls.
    My Mac App Store shows the update 2.0.1 for Twitter again and again. I downloaded it 10 times again and it didn´t go away. Twitter is on 2.0.1 and the MAS shows the update again.On my iMac there wasn´t a problem with this update.
    Sorry for my bad english skills. I´m a german guy. I hope you understand my problem.
    Regards
    m1LLo

    Without the Twitter app installed the Mac App Store continues to display Twitter as being available to receive an update — this to me sounds like Cached information that is corrupt.
    Are you certain that you removed the following files:
    Remove all files in the Caches folder from the following 2 locations:
    Macintosh HD/Library/Caches
    System/Library/Caches
    You might even want to remove Caches from your home folder but I am certain it's not there because the App Store is a system wide applications and it install app into the Applications folder which is also system wide. As an addendum to this, I am also convinced that if you log into another user account on your mac you will continue to see this update offered.
    Also remove
    ~/Library/Caches
    You must restart your mac immediately afterward. There is no point attempting to empty the trash because these cache files are likely active.
    Please confirm

  • 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.

  • App store shows new update for program I did not purchase

    App store shows new update for program I did not purchase. This is "CodeBox". When I push button to download update it shows "uknown error". For normal other updates - "update all" not working anymore.
    How to delete this line from updates section now.

    The problem was finally solved. I am writing very simple solution for those who may have same issue. I tried 1st solution proposing to exclude HDD from Spotlight search and then to restore it (delete from exceptions). It worked for some time and removed notification, however later it appeared again. Then I has started thinking that it was caused by data inside some installed SW and it has been proved later. I have started excluding from Sportlight not all HDD but by folder, searching for the problem area. I have discovered that folder Games was causing the issue. Then I have started to delete installed games one by one and have found Game with was triggering this notification (for other SW!). Problem was fixed after deleting this game. Other deleted games could be easily restored from recycle been.

  • IOS 7 App Store showing old updates / showing updates and not letting me install

    I noticed two issues with the iOS 7 App Store starting last night.  I'm not sure if it's a temporary issue, since the issue seems to be server-side on Apple's part, or if it's a long-term issue. 
    I am running iOS 7.0.2 on an iPhone 5s.  I do not have automatic updates for apps turned on (I like checking what an app is updating before installing it).  I have tried force quitting the App Store app and restarted my iPhone.
    The first thing I noticed last night was that the App Store showed an update for Hulu Plus on my iPhone but wouldn't let me install it.  On my iPad (3rd-gen) running iOS 7, it let me install it.  This morning, it let me install it.  After, I noticed another badge on my App Store app icon with a "1", and it said there was an update for 94 Seconds, but wouldn't let me install it either.  Then when I expanded the details, I noticed the date on it was from July 30, 2013.  I already had that update installed over 2 months ago.  Screenshots for that issue are below.
    Is anhyone else experiencing anything similar?  Any solutions?

    Thanks for the quick response.
    I do indeed seem to recall that happening with an app previously. 
    However, this time it was two apps (Google and Tivo).  I figured they'd get flushed out when more updates (for other apps) hit the App Store. However, when that happened just now, while it did show "update" for those old updates instead of "open", I could not select "update all" up top and had to press update next to each of the (now 4) apps.  The real issue though is that it (of course) can't further update Google and Tivo and gets stuck.  So I can't update any of my apps now.
    When I went back into App Store I then got the blank screen that shows nothing under updates but the "Purchased" slider up top.  I thus had to reboot.  I can get back into the App Store, and got an error regarding the Tivo update not being available (this was a Jan 10 or so update that had already been installed), but there it still sits in the updates.  Interestingly, Google did "update" and fall off the badge indicator.  I selected only my true/new updates, so now I'm just stuck with a false Tivo update/badge.
    I should add that I am on 7.0.4.
    EDIT: Tivo "updated" after the reboot too.  So, bottom line is that you're (I'm) stuck with the false updates until a real update comes through, and then I have to go through that song and dance to clear out the false flags.
