App Store update page doesn't update

I'm finding that frequently the App Store update page says all apps are up to date, yet there is a badge telling me there are updates.  This is really annoying as the only way to see the updates, is to exit the App Store app, kill it and run it again.  Under iOS 5, I could simply tap the update button at the bottom to refresh the page, but that doesn't work in iOS 6.  Why isn't there a refresh button in the App Store?

I've noticed the very same thing - only after purchasing my iPhone 5 which is, of course, running iOS 6. Since then, my wife has updated the trusty old iPhone 4 she "inherited" to iOS 6, as well. Haven't checked whether the App Store is behaving this way on her phone but I'd be surprised if it didn't. The "tap to refresh" function in the pre-ios6 App Store app was fine. I would've expected Apple to incorporate the "pull to refresh" method they're now using but that's not available either.

  • Just updated Pages to version 5.1 on App Store but Pages doesn't show that it's updated and cannot open a document

    I just updated the software in Pages to 5.1 on my iMac OS (Mavericks) but the Pages Application is giving me an error saying that I cannot open a document recently updated until I perform a software update!
    When I am in Pages and to go About Pages it still shows Pages 4.3 (1098)

    You have 2 Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.1 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong one.

  • After iOS 8.3 update, apps stuck on OPEN on App Store Updates page

    Did the iOS 8.3 update by backing up my iPad Mini in iTunes then doing a "Restore". I did that with the last update and all went fine. This time, it appears to have gone well except that I had some apps that had updates pending after the Restore. After doing the updates, when I go to the App Store "Updates" page, I still have 4 of my apps listed there with the button option set to OPEN. On the upper right corner it says "Updated August 18, 2015". Yesterday when I did the update was Saturday April 25, 2015 - go figure. When I tap them they all open but they never leave the page. One post said to wait until an app had a valid update pending and see what happens after I update it, so I'll need to wait to see if that works. I have searched this community and tried all suggestions: changed the date set to manual and push it out over 30 days. That did not work. Did a reset. No luck. I even did another "Restore" thinking maybe that would resolve it, but they came right back. The puzzling thing is that in all of my searching, I have found apps stuck in differing states of "waiting" or "downloading", but none of them have mentioned seeing the apps with the OPEN option visible. I did delete the apps and that made them go away, but I'd prefer to keep them. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance...slog

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

    I had to do ALL of the above in sequence, but before rebooting, I turned WiFi OFF.
    When I rebooted, I turned WiFi ON. I made sure that Location Services was ON for the Apple Store ( the one with the shopping cart).
    Then I went into the App Store.
    I did that about 3 times then voilà! The App Store appeared again.
    To summarize:
    - Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>Off. Set the date one year ahead.
    - Try App Store. If it doesn't work, continue with below.
    - Settings>Privacy>Location Services>System Services (swipe to the bottom of the page to find this)>Location Based iAds>Off
    - Close all apps in the Task Bar.
    - Turn WiFi OFF.
    - Reboot.
    - Turn WiFi ON.
    - Make sure Location Services is ON for the Apple Store.
    - Turn Date and Time to Set Automatically ON.
    - Try App Store.
    Repeat the above if necessary. Thanks Demo, Ocean20 and Diavonex.
    It worked!

    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.

    You are doing all that you cn do right now other than to update the apps in iTunes on your computer and sync them to the iPad.
    There has been a problem with the App Store updates tab for a few days now and we are all waiting for Apple to fix it.
    Look at all of the discussions on the iPad forum that are talking about this right now.

  • In app store updates, i get a blank page

    On my iPhone 5, it appears that I have several updates, but when I go to the App Store (update tab), it's just blank.  I re-started the phone to no avail.  I'm on a wifi connection, so I don't think it's a connection problem and I CAN see new apps at the store.  Any ideas?

  • Is there a known issue with the apple app store update page for th ipad?

    Is anyone else getting the ipad app store update page problems?
    When i go to that page on my ipad i get an error " cannot connect to itunes store " but im allowed to still browse the store. Just cant update my items through he update page..... I do have full bars on my wifi :)

    I'm not sure that either of these will work, but you can give them a try.
    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    Here is the Apple help article for more advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting steps. You might want to look at this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3297
    I don't think that this will be the issue - but it can't hurt to look and make sure.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.

  • The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix?

    The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix? Updated everything and synced. App Sore icon shows there are updates.

    Until Apple resolves this problem, when you are in the App Store, if you have updates, try going to your "Purchased" Apps and you can update from there. Apps with updates will show "Update" next to them, just tap on "Update" and the update will be installed.

  • TS1702 Apps are 'frozen' on App Store Update Page - After Updating

    I've gone from non-stop App Store updates to zero App Store updates on my iPhone 5.
    However, the App Store Update Page just will not clear now. All are downloaded and that usually clears this page until the next updates are ready for download.
    Anyway, no luck ridding myself of these already downloaded Apps from the App Store Update Page. I
    I've opened each App from this page, tried force closing the App Store and rebooting etc.
    I tried deleting all the "frozen" Apps. They disappeared from the App Store update page. But once I went and downloaded the Apps again (this time using iTunes (to circumvent the device App Store) they appeared right back on the same page.

    There is, currently, no way to remove them. Whether by design or not, is not known. I thought they rolled off after a week, but I can confirm they don't.

  • The App Store updates show a discrepancy

    The App Store updates show a discrepancy:
    App                    Version          File info
    Keynote          6.0.1          5.0.3
    Numbers          3.0.1          2.0.3
    Pages          5.0.1          4.3
    Couldn't send a simple message.
    Phone support asked many silly questions then told me I have to pay 49 Euros to get an answer.

    Bob -
    I see you have the version numbers as shown in the App Store.
    I don't.
    App Store announced the latest version but the download yielded those I mentioned.
    App Store doesn't let me try again, so ...
    Can you help me to trigger "This solved my question"?

  • App store updates broken regarless of device or iOS version for days now?

    Your Apple App store updates are just plain broken.(period)! It doesn't matter the device or the iOS release. 
    I have various devices, ipod Touch(s) several versions, iPhones, Ipads several versions and it makes no different which iOS or device;  some are at 3.1, some are at 5.1 and some are at iOS6.  All show app updates, NONE seem to get conected or work by staying connected.
    I have done hard resets on all devices(more than once),  and if you delete and APP  you can NOT stay connected to re-download the APP;  update times out right after it starts to update and then quits...  It doesn't matter if it is a single update or Update ALL  and it doesn't matter which APP.
    you might can get one to update if you like try 20 times.....  this has been going on for at least 4 days now.  Apple PLEASE get this FIXED or provide a work around via support announcement / notes.....  You can't download then either as it times out so this is costing you Apple money.
    Thank you...

  • HT204152 I am unable to update my App  store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.many times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like  Face book etc.

    I am unable to update my App  store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.Many a  times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like  Face book etc....Using ! phone 6plus  .IOS8.3

    What do you mean by 'refusing from the system', if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
    For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is and if you are getting a 'declined' message then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If when trying to download you are getting a message about a 'problem with a previous purchase' then that implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase. If that is the case then you won't be able to download anything else (including app updates) until you've paid off what you owe : Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    If you aren't getting the 'problem with a previous purchase' message then try logging into your account (not when trying to download something) and see if you get the 'none' option so that you can remove the card's details and be able to download updates to your apps : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

  • How do you remove an iMovie update from my app store update tab?

    The iMovie 10.0 software update (released Oct 22, 2013) appears in my App Store 'updates' tab but it's not compatible with my 'ol 2008 iMac (it doesn't have the correct graphics card). How do I remove the update? I've turned off "auto-update", relauched the app store application, etc, but to no avail.

    Apple has released iMovie 10.0.1 that seems to support older video cards. I got it installed on my mid-2007 iMac
