App Store shows 2 updates but doesn't open

Mc Book Pro Retina
Processor 2,4 GHz Intel Core i 5
OS X Mavericks 10.9.5
After 4 months of non activity (I have been away) I checked for updates. The App Store shows 2 in its icon. When clicking to open it opens but nothing is there - feels like a dead-end. How to make App Store work?
Thank you for your help!

App Store showing updates but all apps up to date

App Store icon on iPad is showing there is 1 update, but when App Store is launched all apps are up to date (there are no updates to be applied).
iPad has been sync'ed with iTunes and everything is up to date.
iPad has been restarted after updating to iOS 8.1.1.
App Store continues to display "1" in update badge.
What to do now?

ATtempt to power off your device and power it back on, if that doesn't work reset all settings should resolve it for you

Angry Birds application appears in App Store for update but i cannot update it.

Angry Birds application appears in App Store for update but i cannot update it. I haven't bought this but still it appears in app store. If i try to update it, it shows someone else apple id and if i use my apple id then it fails to update. How can i get rid of it.

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.

IPhone5 App store Shows Updates (4), but won't show which apps to update

My iPhone 5's App Store shows that I have 4 updates to my apps that I can apply, but when I go to the updates screen, it shows me nothing but a blank white screen in the application update section. No indication that All Apps are up to date, nor that any apps need updating. I do note that the "loading" icon in the header spins for quite a while, then disappears with no updates to screen.
I tried jumping on wifi, LTE, etc. Tried killing the App Store app, then relaunching it. No go. Even tried rebooting the phone!
I will note, the rest of app store works fine. I can search around and find applications to purchase. Literally every other section works fine except Updates. It just stares at me blankly.

This doesn't help with my MacBook Air
- There is no iCloud Symbol. I did go to the iTunes Library as suggested above. It showed only 2 apps purchased of the over 100 that I have.
- When I go to iTunes, it wants to download some of my apps onto the computter...I don't want them on the computer. My connection isn't that great for downloading and I have way to many apps to do that. Besides, I just don't want them on the compute.
-I use some apps on my iphone 5, others on my iPad and just a few on my computer. Some overlap the phone and ipad. I want them to stay that way.
- If Apple won't let me do it on 6.1, how can I go back to 6.0?
How does Apple feel about just fixing it?

App Store shows updates that I've already updated. Why?

The Mac App Store wants me to install updates that I've already installed. It finds and updates software on my Mac, just as it should, but the next time I return to the App Store, it says I haven't updated that software even though I have.
Example: Aperture. The Mac App Store found an update: version 3.4.3. Great! I installed it over a week ago. In fact, when I launch Aperture and go to About Aperture, I see that I'm running version 3.4.3. So, why does the Mac App Store show the 3.4.3 update listed on my Updates tab?
I see six updates in the updates page, but I've already updated them. Pixelmator: updated. Coda 2: Updated. Aperture: updated. But they're still listed as if they haven't been updated at all. What's going on, and how can I fix it?

OH!!! Good idea! I removed the backup from Spotlight indexing. My backup is a clone, not incimental like Time Machine. This didn't immediately solve it, I assume because the index already exists, but time will tell if it solves it from this point forward.
I'm in the same boat as Jalupuna in that I have a SuperDuper! clone backup. BUT, as soon as I did as Dah•veedsuggested, the App Store "updates" disappeared!
So thanks to Dah•veed , his suggested solved the issue for me!

With iOS 7.0.2 I lost many apps from my screen. They are in the Apps store under "updates." I can open them but can't get them back onto the desktop for easy access.

How can I get my Apps back on my iPhone screen? Many disappeared when I updated to i0S 7.0.2. I can open them from the Apps store where they are listed in Updates. But I can't get them back on my desktop for easy access.

Try restoring the iPhone from backup.

App Store shows update available but will not display the update or tell me that there are no updates...

There is a badge with the number 1 on my "App Store" icon, but when I go to see what needs to be updated, the App Store does not display the app that has an update nor does it say that there are no updates available. Basically the place that tells me these things, is completely blank. I have the word "Updates" at the top of the screen and I can see an icon on the bottom right corner area that has the cirlce with a down arrow and the word "Updates" with a badge with the number 1 in it.
The iPad 2 has 6.1.2 for the iOS. I have already closed the app out completely by closing the app in the multitasking section and then restarting it. This does not correct the issue. I have also restarted the iPad 2, however this did not correct the issue either.
If anyone has seen this and knows it is a glitch in the software, and that Apple is aware of it, please let me know. If anyone knows how to correct this, please let me know. Thanks.

The update server is down; try this temporary workaround
App Store>Purchased>Select "All"
Note: Look out for apps that have the word "Update"

App Store offers update, but says it's already installed

The App Store is offering me an update to Window Tidy, and the version number is in fact newer than the version on my Mac, but while the App Store icon in the dock shows the update available badge, the store lists the update as installed, so I can't download the update. This is the problem with cloud computing. It works great when it works, but when it breaks, I can't fix it myself. Grrr...

Well, I've not tried to send you an image and the message (above) sits immediately above the reply box.
Otherwise I am as lost as you. My badge has always cleared with the process I outlined.

App store says update but already updated

The App Store on my iMac shows one update as available. I even get notifications that there is an update available. The problem is that the app it says has an update has already been updated and it says "Installed". There seems to be no way to get the App Store to remove it from the Updates page. It constantly says there is one update available. Any suggestions?

I also have a simlar problem which occured after selecting a multiple update, unfortunatley i now have an outstanding update showing for i photo where the button is greyed out showing installed, i have been in contact with apple, who gave me a few suggestions including signing in and out, checking for unfinished downloads (initally there was also a red error message next to the update saying download failed) this cleared the error message but the app store still shows there is an outstanding update which is already updated.
would welcome any further suggestions
Thanks

Mac App Store showing updates for an app I didn't purchase

The Mac App Store keeps showing updates for 'Nyan Cat: Lost in Space', but I have not purchased this app. When I click 'update', it shows up with somebody else's email address, which I did not recognise, and if I try to enter my email address + password it does not accept.

Let me beat you to it here... the Apple ID you are seeing is....
DRUM ROLL !!!!
[email protected] <-- TRALLAHHHH LAHHHHH!!
This is because you (or let's say someone else) has been doing some very naughty Utorrenting.
Now, with this info to arm yourself, you may be able to figure out what cracked item you have placed on that machine.

App Store show update on installed apps

Strange behavier happened today I check my purchases list on App Store and i saw on some apps update status so i press Update but app say that I muss use my account to download them (i dont have any other so i delete this app) next i download that app again and after download still see Update on this app so there is some strange bug. Is that known bug or some permission problems?

Thank you, but does that mean they changed the App Store at the server and its; no longer compatible with older versions? Would they/could they do that w/o informing us? I had no plans to upgrade until the bugs are worked out...

Since last Sunday (October 6, 2013) I couldn't open the new downloaded applications. I saw it under app store, purchased section but couldn't open it. I am on ios7 now, is there some bugs regarding app store?

Since last Sunday (October 6,2013) i could not open the new downloaded
applications and could not re-install all my other applications. I am on ios7 now. Is there a bug in app store? Where will i report this? What is the email address of apple support?

If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely. Remember
