App store tells me there is an update, but.....

App store tells me there is an update, but when I click on updates in the menu bar, the app in question indicates it's installed. There is no update button that can be activated. This same app over & over comes up as wanting an update.
thank you, bobbi

The MAS can see versions of its apps on mounted partitions and drives. Do you have a clone or backup with the older version of the app?

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first update the application; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. I have not renamed or moved iPhoto which was preinstalled. How to solve?

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first download the update; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. Stuck in a classis Catch-22 - any ideas how I might solve the problem?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

In IOS 7, my App Store displays a badge for 5 updates, but there is nothing available for download.

Please help. My App Store updates don't seem to be working after updgrading to IOS 7. I have tried all the expected fixes: closing apps, restarting, signing out of the store, iCloud, etc. and signing in again. Driving me nuts.
The pictures below tell the whole story:

Trying to install Pages - paid for - but App Store tells me "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later."

When I bought my Macbook Pro on Thursday I also purchased Pages whilst in the Apple store in town. The assistant helped me start the installation whilst I was there and he told me that it would continue when I got home, even if i shut the laptop down there. So this is what I did, however, since I've been home, every time I click Install on Pages in the App Store a message comes up saying : "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later."
Another thing I should mention is that I purchased Pages on a different Apple ID account when I was in the store, but I was told I only had to log in to that account from my Macbook Pro and I could easily download Pages.

Simple solution:
Go back to the apple store and say that you couldn't download pages
Or you can let me remotely control your screen which I'm sure your not going to do the reason that I would control your screen was because I have bought iWork 09 and I could install pages on your MBP using my apple id

App store keeps saying there is an update,

but when App Store is launched it says "Installed".
And the app itself is the correct updated version when used.

The workaround for this is to delete the app then reinstall.
Use this utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
Now re download the app. That will install the app with the most recent version and the update badge should disappear.
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 purchase.

App store won't accept password for updates but will for purchases...

Password is 100% correct etc... The app store on my iphone 4s (latest OS as of today) will accept my apple id password for any purchase, but not for any update.
What's going on!?!?!
100% repeatable ... 100% infuriating

I contacted the store. Somehow in the process of adding multiple icloud accounts to my family I somehow purchased apps under one account that had the same email but different user name. I edited both account's passwords, made them similar so that if my ipad or iphone tells me I entered the wrong password I just enter the other passwords for the other account.
I wish Apple would have a better, cleaner way to manage accounts. I didn't know this second account even existed.

The App Store says that I need to update but nothing shows up

I am getting notifications that I have four update on my iPad however when I open the App Store and go to updates nothing shows up. I have restarted and closed and reopened that app what to do?

I think there's a problem with the update server.
There are many similar cases on this discussion.

App store will not accept password for updates but will for purchases.

Please advise.

Thanks... I did try that. To add to the mess, I just saw some update on my Macbook Air App Store and it did the same as on my iphone. I would not accept my new password.
I then saw that my iphone had some updates. I requested to update all. It asked for my password and I entered it. It downloaded some of the update but not others and also gave me the message that I put in the wrong password.
Still confused. Thanks for your help.

App Store is showing a count for updates but not displaying any apps that need to be updated

The App Store icon is displaying a count for apps to blue updated, when I open the app and click on Updates nothing is being displayed. I've tried a hard reboot and have tried to sync and it has still not corrected itself.

It's a long running glitch, as the hundreds of threads on this topic demonstrate.
You can wait it out and wait for Apple to fix the servers or you can go into your purchased tab and manually download each update (you'll find the app icons with little update banners on them.
Alternatively, if you sync with a computer, you can use the iTunes on your computer to download the updates then sync them onto your device.

The App Store tells me I have installed Lion, but About this Mac tells me I'm running 10.6.8

Have tried reaching Apple with no success.
I have been charged for the OS X but don't have it installed. About this Mac tells me I am still running Snow Leopard and when I go into the App Store it says installed and I can't reinstall it. I have reloaded Snow Leopard and then went to the App Store and it still told me I had Lion installed. What is going on? Is Apple ripping its loyal customers off?

The installer should be in your Applications Folder

App store icon says I have 2 updates but no updates available

The icon on the dock shows 2 updates available but when I click on the app store, in updates, the app states no updates available.
How do I take away that 2 on the dock app store icon ?

Lets try this for now...

App Store is showing I have 5 updates but when I go into updates nothing appears

App Store is showing that I have 5 updates but when I go into updates nothing appears. I'm not even getting the message that all apps are up to date. I've shut down and restarted but that has not resolved the issue.

Try updating from here:
App Store>Purchased>Select "All"
Note: You'll have to look out for apps that have the word "Update"

The settings app is showing that there is an update but when i go to software update it says its full up to date. HELP?!

my settings app has got the red 1 to say that there is a notification/update, but when i go to update it it says that i am on 6.1.4 and i am full up to date, what else could this notification mean?

If the MBP is new why do you think it needs updating to 10.8.4? What version is currently installed?

IMovie tells me there is an update, but Software Update says I'm up to date

When I start iMovie it says I should update to version 8.0.4 but when Software Update opens it says everything is up to date. What gives?

I regularly have the same problem with Software Update. I'll get a message from an application (like iTunes) saying new software is available, but when I run Software Update I get the message "Your software is up to date."
I know I can manually download these updates, but why is Software Update missing these updates?

Hi, App Store tells me I have installed the latest Pages update, yet it will not open Pages docs created on other machines that DO have the latest version . Any tips?

Hi
Pages 5.0 and 10.9.
While App Store tells me there is no update avalable to Pages, which it says was installed Nov. 4, its the old Avatar/logo thingo and, as I say, it will not open the Pages docs created on my MacBook, which definiitely does have the new Pages running smoothly.
cheers
