App Store reporting unneeded updates

The App Store app on my iPhone reports that updates are available for several of my apps despite the fact that all the apps have been already updated via iTunes. I double-checked the apps and they are all the latest versions. It's annoying because the icon for App Store has a little red circle with a number in it, nagging me to update when no update is needed... any remedy for this? BTW when I plug the iPhone into the Mac iTunes does not report that any updates are needed.

No way to fix this - it's been like that since the introduction of the on-phone App store.
As a heads up -- downloading apps through the iPhone itself messes up sync backup settings, so its best never to download anything on the phone anyway.
I moved this icon, the iTunes icon, the Stock iCon, and the Contacts icon to their own screen all the way at the end of my list of icons, so I never have to look at them again.

  • App store reports Pinball HD and 11 other apps cannot be purchased at this time.....

    App store reports "Pinball HD and 11 other apps cannot be purchased at this time"..... This occurs whenever I log into the app store. I have already purchased this app (and presumably the 11 others as well).  I believe this started when it showed up as an app I should update (for free).
    My wife and I share this iPad and we have apps purchased under two different store accounts on this machine. I have tried to log off and sign in with her account and then check updates but with either account I am told that all apps are up to date. All of our credit card info is current. Any clues?

    Already on Automatic..... :(
    This is an iPad 1 - I've had it since it first came out (ordered directly from Apple). Lots of apps and purchases over the years. My wife got her own WiFi only iPad shortly after mine as she fell in love with it and I don't share well. ;) This only started about 7-10 days ago. I did not update to iOs 5.1 until last night so this predates that. My concern is that when the iPad 3 arrives next Friday that this will transfer over.
    Ever since my wife received her own iPad our purchases are pretty much separate.

  • App Store doesn't update

    Just recently I can't seem to update via the App Store app. The App Store icon shows updates are available but when I tap on the icon the update page opens but there is nothing but a blank page. I know updates are available as the number increases but again when I try to get the updates all I get is a blank page. All the other pages of the App Store work just fine. I'm on the latest iOS and an iPad 3. This issue only cropped up in the last few days. I have tried a hard reset but that did not solve the issue. Any ideas??
    Thanks

    There have been numerous reports on the forum today regarding this issue. It seems to be an issue at Apple, but no information has been posted on the status site.

  • How can I re-set the App Store so the Updates will again appear under the Updates tab?

    Hi,
    I am running a Macbook Pro (retina). Lately when I launch App Store and click on Updates the software updates for the software on the Macbook do not show up under the Updates tab. However, when I go to the Purchased tab I see there Update buttons next to programs that have updates ready to download.
    How can I re-set the App Store so the Updates will again appear under the Updates tab?
    Many Thanks,
    David

  • How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    All items that you download from the iTunes store are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account can download updates to its apps.
    If you are referring to apps from the Mac App Store then you will be better off asking in the Using Mac App Store forum (this is the iTunes Store forum).

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    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.

  • 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.

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

    You cannot.
    The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases.

  • 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?

  • Can't update iPhoto in Mac App store or Software update... Help!

Maybe it's just a bug, Mac App Store seems a Beta to me for how laggy and buggy it is. Usually when it says something about another account it's 'cause you have pirated software and the App Store receipt inside it is indeed connected to another account, making it impossible to download the update. If that's your case what you have to do is to right click on iPhoto and select "show package content", open the "Content" folder and delete the "_MASReceipt" folder inside it, now the update will show up on Software Update.
    A user posted on another site a way to solve this.
    It worked for me, hope it helps.
