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...

App Store update number won't dissapear since iOS 8 update

App Store update number won't dissapear since iOS 8 update. After updating all apps on my iPhone this red circled indicating number would always disappear, now it remains..... Why the change? I'd rather this number disappear like it always has I don't need to know that 2 Aps have updated, only that there are updates available. After updating this indicating number disappears.

In your device Settings > iTunes & App Store, under Automatic Downloads, set Updates to On.
Your App Store app will now reflect the up-to-date status of your apps updates.

Maverics - App Store Updates broken - Certificate issue

Hi All,
My system - MacBook Pro Mid 2012 15"
After update to Maverics from Lion i cannot use App Store Updates, so now I don't now have my system any updates or not.
The issue is in "wrong" certificate as App Store Updates talkes to me (message in Russian):
Сертификат для данного сервера недействителен. Возможно, Вы подключаетесь к серверу, имитирующему «swscan.apple.com», что может подвергнуть риску конфиденциальность Вашей информации.
(it's told me that it cannot confirm «swscan.apple.com» certificate)
I'm using my local ISP and there's no problems with Apple site and other App store things - I'm able to install programs from it.
I've checked that certificate right now - it's signed with Verisign and seems to be Ok, my safari displays it as green.
How can I recieve updates for my Mac ?

I have the same trouble..
By the way, is this a part of the problem, or it is a normal situation?:
BUGMac:~ bug$ ping swscan.apple.com

App Store updates broken

I cannot update certain software. Safari 8.0.4 is an example. The progress bar flashes quickly then nothing else happens. The update never goes though. In the past when this has happened I have downloaded a stand alone installer. Safari 8.0.4 is unavailable.
I've tried removing caches and temp files associated with the store to no avail.
any ideas?
ps iPhoto update worked fine

Thanks!
this dump is the result of pushing the update button. there was a huge dump after moving to the updates section from the featured section in App Store.
by the way...repairing permissions has never helped this problem either.

You can't delete your purchase history, you can only hide it (in iTunes on your computer).

App Store update buttons broken

iOS 7.0.2 iPhone 5S
Go to App Store > Updates tab. Tapping "update" opens the app instead of triggering an update. Seems I have to manually search for the App and update it from the search results page. Tried logging out / logging in again. Looks like a bug.

hellooooooooo
i don't know what's a more frustrating bug: that update is broken or Apple's support forums are broken
If you want help you need to ask a question, not just tell people you think you found a bug.

Using ios6 on my iPad I can no longer swipe to hide an app in the App Store. Still works on all other ios and devices. Anyone find the same?

The feature no longer works in iOS 6 so you must not have updated your other devices yet.

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.

After upgrading to 10.9.5, the App Store "Update" button stopped working.

After upgrading from 10.9.4 to 10.9.5 tonight, the App Store "Update" button seems to have stopped working. The App Store says I have one update available (Xcode version 6.0.1), but when I click "Update," the button turns white for a few seconds, and then it turns back to gray without doing anything. I've tried the same steps after restarting my computer twice.
A screen shot is below.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

IOS 7 App Store is BROKEN!

Well, Stupid Me won out over Sensible Me and I downloaded. Received several notifications that I had apps which required updating, so I attempted to download. "Download failed". This is for ANYTHING downloaded from the App Store NOT just updates!
THE APP STORE IS BROKEN!
I'm also unable to autocorrect words typed in uppercase (for example, it will no longer correct 'CANT' to 'CAN'T' and, if you move the cursor back against the word, you don't even get the option - pop-up bubble - to change it. As you can't type in bold, I do use caps quite a bit for emphasis, so this is really rather irritating!).
The keyboard is also really rather unresponsive when compared to iOS 6 (especially in Safari and FB).
Maybe there are settings I'm overlooking for everything else - if so could someone point me in the right direction. I'm autistic and I get frustrated when I don't understand stuff!
But the App Store is most DEFINITELY broken! Can't download anything - not updates, not new apps, not mags, not papers - not ANYTHING!
Anyone else...?!
Sarah X❤️X

For the keyboard and autocorrect features, try resetting your iPod
Reset: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
I wonder if the App Store is just down because the servers are overloaded from everyone trying to download iOS 7. You might need to wait and try again later.
If it's still not working, you might want to try resetting your network settings.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Try these articles if the App Store still doesn't work:

Can I help someone solve the App Store update problem

If you can't update your apps in the App Store update link, you can update your apps by clicking on the purchase icon and see which apps need to be updated and click on the app that says update and it will install.

Adding to above^
You can also update the applications in iTunes on the comptuer then sync the changes to the devices.
Just go to the apps section in itunes where is shows all the backed up/imported applications. Then you should see the update apps button on the lower right.

Anyway To Clear App Store Update History in iOS 7 ?

I like iOS 7 very much but would rather the App Store update history clear itself or maybe be just a link one can click. In previous versions clicking on Updates would poll only for new ones and/or tell you that you were up to date.

Yep! I see the relevance of this feature if you choose to activate "auto update" in settings, so you can tell the moment you got screwed by a bad update, but that's about all it's useful for. Nobody cares when an app is updated if it works out and it's not like you can revert back to the previous version via this list if it doesn't! The only way you can do that is delete the app and re-install via iTunes as long as you've set that not to auto download app updates.
I say if you chose to activate "auto update" then this info is minimally useful at best. If you chose to go without it on your iOS device you are manually chossing to update and obviously know what you are doing and the update history list is nothing more than clutter. There should be a setting that lets you opt in or out for this info or they should make it so that it only shows this data if you chose to select "auto update".

Wildly erratic App Store update flagging

Apart from the permissions-scrambling (I think) problem, there is also another weirdness manifesting:
"X" number of apps appear as badging the App Store icon; I update one, then wait for it to finish updating; I then go back to the App Store icon, to find that "Y" number of updates has vanished from the badge/update page. The "missing" updates usually reappear after a while.
The above is a bit different from another problem that has been reported, i.e., of apps being updated via the iPhone, then going back to the App Store on the iPhone to find the updates still sitting there, or reappearing suddenly several updates later (I update apps one at a time so that I can read the authors' update texts, if they've supplied them).
I am not only fed up with the erratic behaviour of the App Store, I am fed up with the time I've wasted, and my time that has been soaked up bleating and whining about the App Store problems here. Not to mention the "apps not working after an update" permissions issue. And even more ticked off because of the data I've lost because the iTunes backup facility appears to be broken as well (as of 7.7.1, at least).
Time for me to get a life, methinks.
Also time for Apple to get some fixes out into the wild ASAP.

Well, well. I was just about to post to this to say that the iPhone 2.0.1 software/firmware update had fixed things. It did for about 6 hours, but after another App Store update, the AS flags started playing up after an update, and then the downloaded apps and the music became unusable again.
This is really, really not funny. I spent hours last night installing the update and repopulating the phone with apps and musics, and I'm back to square 1. Yet again.
Has anyone else had the similar experience of updating the phone to 2.0.1 and have the apps die again?
I dare not ask if anyone has a fix, other than being able to hack the iPhone file system by hand and manually change the permissions via a telnet session running on a Mac (or Linux?) box. And doing this, if possible should probably do nasty things to the warranty.
I'm now going to mothball the iPhone until there's a known robust fix to these problems, and go back to my old Sony Ericsson (and hope that the iPhone's SIM card will work in the SE). I've wasted far too much time on this to continue. Bad show, Apple. -10/10 and no elephant stamp and gold star for you.
