App Store shows wrong number of updates

Every time I open the App Store on my iPhone 6 it shows 20 updates available. I touch the "updates" button, and all the updates disappear. Next time I come back it will do the same. Updated to 8.0.2 but no joy. What's up with this?

Turned out that the problem was that my old iPhone 4 was still registered with the same iTunes account. Once I went to appleid.apple.com and deauthorized the 4, I started to get the correct number of updates in the iPhone 6 App Store.

I have the same problem. Closed App Store after double tapping Home button twice. I tried logging out of App Store and back in. Also did App Store updates in computer and updated everything when i synced iPhone with iTunes. Nothing works. App Store updates still frozen in iPhone.

App store showing wrong apple id when trying to update but correct id in settings

App store is showing the wrong apple id when trying to do an update but correct id in settings. How do I fix?

I had the same problem. After syncing my phone, my husband's ID was popping up for app updates. Apparently they were downloaded through his account to begin with, so deleting them and redownloading fixed my problem.

My app store shows wrong id and it is greyed out so I cannot change it to install updates

I am trying to install updates from the App store.
However, when I try to sign in, the dialogue box shows an old and wrong email address as my apple id.
Since the email is greyed out, I cannot change it to the correct current one.
I have checked that I am at the right location etc, restarted several times but no success.
Please advise.
Thanks

Do you recognize the wrong ID, or is it unknown to you?

Mac App Store Shows Wrong Firmware Update

My Mac App Store on my Macbook Air shows an update for the following firmware:
MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.9
Obviously that shouldn't be there since I'm on a MacBook Air. The real issue other than that showing up in the list is that checking for updates times out on the server, sometimes with the timeout 1001 error, and I'm not able to get updates for any other apps, including iTunes.
Does anyone know how to reset the app store so that it can figure out what kind of laptop I'm using? I tried looking for the com.apple.appstore... file that I saw in the forum somewhere but there was no such file under /Library/Preferences to remove.
I did manually download that MacBook Pro 2.9 update and ran it to see if that would clear it, but it didn't. (And it wouldn't install, obviously, because it doesn't work on my system.)
I did download iTunes 11 and installed it outside the App Store, which worked, and I also updated my MacBook firmware to the latest. And finally, I put on the 10.8.2 supplemental package manually, but none of this has fixed the app store.
Anyone know what to do?

Fixed my own problem after some searching. I deleted the software update file with this command:
sudo find / -type f -name com.apple.SoftwareUpdate\* -exec rm -f {} \;
Then after that it all worked fine, including removal of the MacBook Pro firmware update.

App store showing wrong apple ID

So, when I try to "update all" in my App store, it shows Apple ID & asks for password, as usual. The problem is, the Apple ID that is showing, is wrong. When I go under settings to "view Apple ID", it is correct. Any advice on how to correct this? Uugh...

There is nothing to Fix... They are Not your Apps... Get them using Your Apple ID if you want them.

My mac app store shows someone else's update

My Mac App Store is showing someone else's update. the update is for an app called CodeBox. I've never heard of it, not even purchasing it. when I tried to cleaning my computer's cache, it's still there. What should I do?? It's very irritating for my family...

I can't see how it has achieved such notariety in your household ... it is simply an inexpensive developers tool.   That said, you or someone else has downloaded it at some time; it won't just appear.
But you can check that.   As it is a paid app, it will appear in your purchases list (hidden or unhidden) and if by some odd situation it doesn't, write to the billing department and ask for a copy of the account it featured on.
In terms of getting rid of it, the chances are it could have been partially deleted by the person who downloaded it.   But you have a clone or similar in your system and that is why MAS is picking it up and showing the update availability.
You're going to have to search a little harder, I'm afraid.

App Store shows there is an update for an uninstalled application

I have installed a game from App Store and since I dislike it I have removed. Still the app store is reminding me that there is an update available for that game. This is not happening with iTunes Store so why with Mac App Store?

Hi,
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Open the LIbrary folder, then the Caches folder. Move the com.apple.appstore and the com.apple.storeagent files to the Trash.
From the same Library folder open the the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.apptstore.plist and the com.apple.storeagent.plist files to the Trash.
Same Library folder again, open the Cookies folder. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Launch the MAS. See if that helped.

My iphone App Store indicates that I need to update my Backup Assistant. I have tried about 30 times to log into my Apple account using every login I can think of and it continually tells me it is invalid or incorrect. I have changed my password/ID at least 20 times. What can I do?

Use the correct login/password that the app was purchased with.

I do not have some apps in my mac but still app store shows them as update available

I have a Mac Book Pro. I installed some apps and then deleted them from my mac. All the apps are no longer visible in the launchpad. But still the mac app store shows them as an update available. Kindly tell my either how to uninstall those apps completely or how to get rid of the problem.

Hi Rishu1998,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you dont want to see some purchases in iTiunes store. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

App Store keeps asking me to update to iTunes 11.1.3, even though that's what I'm already running

Every time my app store program automatically checks for updates, it wants me to update to iTunes 11.1.3, even though I already have -- many times (and the App Store shows this, in the "updates run in the past 30 days" window). In fact I am running iTunes 11.1.3 right now. What's the problem?

Hi scoolio,
Right off the top of head, I can think of two places where "check automatically for updates" can be selected or deselected by the user.
The first is within the Software Update preferences Pane where one can select daily, weekly or monthly or none.
Myself I never allow my computer to update anything automatically; rather I conservatively choose doing such things manually to keep my my meager Snow Leopard happily purring.
The second place that I never select auto check for updates is within iTunes itself.
I don't know about the App Store. I have found that place to be problematic... so I stay away from it unless I absolutely need to update something that I purchased there. BTW, I'm not happy with the way that the App store is evolving. I guess one could say that it is set-up in a planned obsolescence kind of way. Hoops. Jumping. We don't like it.
Nonetheless, I would check out the 2 checkboxes that I mentioned just for the sake of knowing how they are set. If that doesn't help then you know it could be the current App Store iteration - which I don't have.
Regards,
mm~

App store says there is one update but none need updating

I just upgraded to Yosemite and under my Apple menu, the App Store shows there is one update needing to be done but when I open the App Store, it shows none need updating.
This is a week-old MacBook Pro with 2.8Ghz i5, 8GB, and 512 SSD.

Next time that happens while on WiFi, turn WiFi off in settings, wait about 30 seconds or so, then turn WiFi back on. Sometimes you have to do this two or three times, but this fixes that issue as well.

You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.
