App Store 'Update' only displays white screen

Even though it indicates that there are updates for 2 installed apps, the 'update' function in App Store only displays a blank white screen. Nothing is displayed and there are no options to actually install the updates.
It has previously worked fine but suddenly decided to just show a blank screen.
Any thoughts or ideas?

My command 'Show Apple ID' in App Store gives only a white window on my iPad and the new updates of the Apps stay incompleted. What is going wrong?

Messages (Show Apple ID) and new updates from App Store do not reach completely my iPad.
What can I do?

Go to Setting>Store and sign into the itunes account that purchased the app. Is your computer authorized for the iTunes account for which the updates are not showing? Also, are the non-showing app for the update showing in iTunes?

Hi jkjuarez2012,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:

If the issue continues after restoring, your iPod nano may need to be serviced. You can use this link to find out more about iPod service:
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

App Store updates gives a blank screen

Opened App Store app and selected update. Alligator is blank screen. The other choices, featured, etc seem to being fine. I tried a shutdown, restart. Problem continues. Notei have same problem on iPad and iPad mini. Don' t dare try on iPhone

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.

IMac (Intel) only displays white screen with Apple after power-outage

Last week, we had a power-outage. iMac is plugged into a surge protector. When power was restored, powered up the iMac, but it will not get past the initial white screen with the Apple logo and the spinning black/white wheel. I have tried shutting down and re-starting, unplugging and re-starting, etc. Nothing happens. Ideas?

You HD probably crashed. Please run Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode and see if it reports any errors. If it does please post them and we will try to translate them.
Also if your area has power issues I would strongly recommend replacing the surge protector (which is worthless in a power outage) with a UPS. A Uninteruptable Power Supply has a battery in it that is designed to provide enough power in the event of a power outage so the computer can do an orderly shutdown. I recommend the APC brand, you can find UPS's at your local office supply store or even Costco. A good quality one will cost about $100.00 or more.

I see lots of people asking questions about the "white screen" app store update failure. I see no answers from Apple about this...What is the problem, and what is the solution?

It's a problem that Apple is having with their App updating system. The best solution is to be patient, and wait for Apple to solve their systemic problem.

App Store update is not working. Just see a white screen

Does anyone know why my iPad App Store update has stopped working?

Read this on iLounge posted by ahMEmon
Go into Settings > General > International > Language and choose British English, then hit the Done button. The screen will go black with a comment about Language Settings. Be Patient, especially if you have a lot of apps. Let it run it's course and Then open the App Store again. Voila! Upgrade list is back. And it stuck when i changed back to plain English. He doesn't know why. I don't either. But I am now a happy camper. Worked on my 3rd gen iPad and iPad Mini.
Hope it works for you!

HT204266 App store does not display updates

App store will not display updates, any body know how to fix this.

There are various other threads here that cover the same issue...with that being said
The problem could very well be on Apple's end...maybe a server issue with the App Store. I just checked my iPhone 5 updates under Wi-Fi and get nothing but a white "Updates" screen with the busy cog spinning endlessly. Everything else loads fine...web pages & all other aspects of the iTunes Store. Updates is the only thing that is not working.
Checking the System Status page (http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/) show no issues, however it may not have been updated/Apple is not yet aware of the issue.

How can I fix the problem in my iPhone 4s where the app store updates screen is blank?

I have a problem with the apps store updates in my iPhone 4S. It doesn't display the updates, it's just a blank white screen. I tried hardstarting my phone a number of times, holding the home button at startup when the apple logo appears until it dissapears but the problem still persists. Can anyone show me how to resolve this problem?
Many thanks!

It is perfectly accurate.. it is simply not showing 50 degrees because you have it set to Celcius.
Change it to Farenheit and it will display what you are accustomed to.

Looks O.K. to me Opens correctly in Firefox and Opera as a log-in page for Killer Content - Win7x64 Fx5.
I can't see any oddities in your plug-ins. It never hurts to clear any relevant cookies and your cache.
You could see how it goes in Safe Mode - Hold Shift key down as you double click on the Firefox icon>ignore the page that opens and continue. If the page opens you probably have a problem with extensions or themes and you should work through this -
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes
A lot of things have been updated as well as Firefox and you could have a culprit or conflict. Next, if there is no improvement you could try disabling third party toolbars, and you should report back at this stage or if there has been early success.
Someone may come by with a more specific remedy.

HT4623 I have App Store updates indicated, but the update screen is blank. How can I retrieve updates?

I have App Store updates indicated, but the update screen is blank. How can I retrieve updates?

From Demo:
If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
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. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

My ipod model A1367 display shows only a white screen. why is it?

my ipod model A1367 display shows only a white screen. why is it? please help me im using apple product for the first time

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

App Store Updates (but only Updates) cannot connect to iTunes Store

The App Store icon on my homescreen shows I have 6 updates waiting to download.
When I go to App Store > Updates it says "Cannot connect to iTunes Store".
I can browse online with Safari so have internet connectivity. Every other tab in the App Store (e.g. Top 25) connects and I can download new apps. I can also access the iTunes store by using the iTunes icon - I can view and download anything from iTunes. The ipod touch can therefore connect to the iTunes Store, but for some reason the App Store Updater cannot.
I'm using OS 5.1.1, have searched the forums, shutdown and restarted the ipod, checked the DNS, logged out and in of my iTunes account, used different wi-fi networks, but no progress. Any tips would be massively appreciated !

Thanks schan20, this worked perfect. I closed all apps, double tapping home key from home screen, turned set date and time automatically off, clicked set daate and time, changed year to 2014. I then opened updates on apps and got the security message, went back to set date and time, turned on set automatically, opened app store back up (did not force close after security message) , got to loading and had 21 apps to update
Not sure what caused this initially; but some things I had done in the past were, I had set date and time auto off, I had changed the date and time numerous times in a row for the game deer hunter reloaded to get gold, most of the time stopping around August each time. Other than that, I have not made any major changes or added any apps when it stopped working.

My App Store icon keeps displaying the little red circle with the number 4 and when it is opened to the updates tab there are no app to update. The page displays "All Apps Are Up to Date". This just recently started an occurs on both my iPad2 and iPhone5

Why is this happening?

I've seen reports of this happening when updates have been issued for apps that make them only work on iOS 7, users of earlier versions of iOS get notified that there are updates pending but when you actually go into the app store updates function it realises they don't apply to you because you are on an earlier version of iOS than what the new versions require.
In fact I just had a very similar experience on my iPod touch with iOS 6, in App Store app it flagged 7 app updates in red badge but when I clicked on the Updates button it only listed two apps to update, once they'd been applied the outstanding updates badge disappeared.
