App Store Updates not showing

I'm having a problem with the App Store not showing me updates that are available. I noticed this just now when using iPhoto, it told me there was an update but the App Store said that no updates were available.
I fixed that by downloading the update from Apple's support site. But then I got worried if I'd missed anything else. My normal account doesn't have admin rights, so I logged in with one that does and then there are some updates waiting, including some security fixes.
So is this by design? If I check for Software Updates as a user without admin rights should nothing appear? Or do I need to change a setting somewhere.
I'm on Mountain Lion 10.8.3.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, I'm not sure if this would be the case here, but if you have the "automatically check for updates" checked in SU Pref Pane as well as the subcategories, it will automatically download and install updates (I'm guessing that this would mean there wouldn't be a notification since it is being installed "behind the scenes" as it were).
And, the Pref Pane now has this at the top "SU keeps OS X and apps from MAS up to date" - that also indicates (to me) that it'll all be done automatically. So this may be Apple's planned and intentional behavior?
My initial post here was to show that although my apps were not purchased from MAS, I am still able to download updates from MAS. On the other hand, I do not know if there is a difference in notification and/or download methods on MAS vs. Non-MAS apps (despite what the SU Pref Pane header states).
That is exactly what happened. Just got off the phone w/AC. They directed me to SU Pref Pane. Missing Manual nor the OS Help Menu makes no mention of SU Pref Pane! Anywho, I changed the settings. So hopefully, I should be able to start getting notifications of all updates. The box I kept enabled was the Automatically check for updates. I unchecked all the rest of them.
Hopefully, this will help the OP too.

How to upgrade to aperture 3.5 when the app store does not show the update. I did buy aperture 3 on DVD not thru the app store. what to do?

I can not open aperture databases anymore as osx10.9 keeps telling me i have opened it with a newer version, which i have not but i understand from other discussions that thru the upgrade of iphoto osx automatically thinks that you have opened with aperture 3.5. the app store does not show me the update as i have not purchased the program thru the app store but on dvd. what to do?

If you are running MacOS X 10.9 and Aperture is installed in your Applications folder and simply called Aperture, not Apertre 3 or something, the AppStore should be showing you the update.
Have you already updated to Aperture 3.4.5 from the Support page Aperture 3.4.5?
Try to update manually to 3.4.5 and then reboot and sign again into the AppStore with your AppleID and look at the Update page.
For some forum members it helped to set the main system language to English U.S. to make the update finally show.

App Store updates not functioning

App Store says I have updates but is blank when I am on the update page

From Demo:
If you are getting the blank app update screen, and, many people are having this problem over the last several 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.
Or try this from Apple:
I understand that your App Store does not show your app updates. Please follow the steps below to help resolve the issue.
1. Close All Apps on iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
2. Sign out of iTunes & App Stores: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Tap AppleID > Sign out
3. Reset All Settings: Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
4. Reboot iPad
5. Sign back into iTunes and App Stores: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Sign In with AppleID

App Store Update keeps showing even after installing

the app store on my macbook air keeps showing an update for MacBook Air SMC Firmware update 1.8. it shows 1.66f60 is installed in the system info page.
the MacBook air is late 2010 with OS X 10.9 Mavericks. The update acts like it is installing but, it still shows up in the app store update even after rebooting.
any help would be appreciated.

This may or not be related to the OP's post...
I have an Epson Artison 810, and since Mountain Lion was installed, my iMac (when waking from sleep or rebooting) keeps asking me if I'd like to download an update for this printer. If I click Yes, I'm taken to the App Store, where, after waiting WAY too long, it tells me my system's up to date, and that no updates are available.

Itunes app store is not showing screen shots (windows 7)

Hi,
Over the last few weeks it seems the app store isn't showing screen shots when i click to see more info about the app. I've been looking at ipad apps, sometimes i get some screen shots but mostly i dont. I've read a thread about resetting the cache in preferences but this didn't work.
Its really harsh not being able to see screen shots before you purchase.
Any ideas!?
Thanks!!!!

Having the same issue as OP. iPad only apps don't show any screen shots in iTunes or on the Web, but i see them on iTunes Connect. Mac App Store applications are showing their screen shots just fine as are iPhone apps.
Does this have something to do with widescreen on iPad, retina display?? We used high quality screen shots for our applications, the best quality the developers guide mentions.
We double checked the Developers Reference Guide for specifications on screen shots and tried 3 of the suggested formats(JPEG, TIFF, PNG) with reso 1024x768 px but nothing has changed since thursday (june 23rd) last week.
0%       iPad applications show screen shots on the iTunes store for me as I write this.
100%   iPhone applications show screen shots.
100%   Mac App Store show screen shots...
Anyone have any more to add? suggestions?
I have already entered a bug report for this.
Here's a few things that have worked for others althought they have not worked for me. These are pulled from this community forum.

iTunes uses the same Web Engine as Safari to display the store, so the Safari update could be the issue.
Try running Repair Permissions, it is in the Disk Utility software that is in your Utilities folder.

APP STORE UPDATE TAB SHOWING BLANK

I guess the issue with app store update blank is a BUG. Because when i woke up this morning and try to open it..it was already working fine. Update and purchased was all working fine now.

The update server is down; try this temporary workaround
App Store>Purchased>Select "All"
Note: Look out for apps that have the word "Update"

App store updates not working

After updating to ios 7, and setting my app store updates to update automatically, and after they all did update, the long list of apps won't go away. They just sit there with an "open" button next to each one. I tried force quitting the app store, I tried signing out of the app store, I tried shutting down my phone, but the list just sits there. Any thoughts about this?

I have the same identical issue. Have you found any fix yet?

TS1702 Updates in App Store is not showing the Apps list

After updating iOS to 6.1 in my iPhone 4s, while tapping 'Updates' in App Store, it is not showing the Apps list, though over the icon it is showing that 11 Apps has got Updates available.

hi
i've had your same proble,
you have to go on settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign out.
after this restart your device:
Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home buttonat the bottom center of the face at the same time.
Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
ok, now go to settings-->itunes&app stores-->apple ID and sign in again
... for me it worked
bye bye let me know if it works even for you!

Mac App Store will not show 3.2.2 as an available update

I upgraded to Lion last week, but Aperture 3.2.2 is not showing up as an available update. Will I be stuck with 3.1.3 until Apple releases the next update? I'm not sure what to do.
Thinking out loud...could the Mac App Store may be confused about what version of Aperture I'm using? I downloaded Lion on the first day that it was available, but I didn't install it because I had some Rosetta applications. In the interim from when I downloaded Lion and installed it, I think Aperture was updated to 3.1.3. Is there a way to reset the Mac App Store so that it will rescan my apps for available updates?

Is Aperture installed in the system Application folder as Aperture (noting else no Aperture3.1.3 or anything like that)
Did you buy 3 from the App Store? Are you logging in to the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to buy Aperture?
In the App Store in the Purchases tab what is listed?
If all the above is OK then you could just remove Aperture from the Application folder (drag it to the Desktop) and then go to the App Store. It should allow you to download the app again and will give you the latest version.

My app store will not show the update page. Any suggestions?

My app store app will not show the update page. Any suggestions?

You haven't told us which version of iOS you're running.
Anyway, is it restricted? Check Settings > General > Restrictions

App Store Application - not showing updates

My app store application isn't showing available updates unless I open the app up and refresh it. With my iPod Touch and old phone whenever an app update became available it showed the little red number on the app without actually having to open it. Now I don't know if there is any updates unless I manually open it up and refresh it. Also, the same thing is happening with my facebook app. It's not showing notifications unless I open it and refresh it as well. Any ideas? I do have my push notifications turned on.

Hi,
Restart your iPhone.
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
See if there are updates available.

App Store Update Not Working

With Mavericks installed on my Mac Pro I had been experiencing for a while erratic behaviour from the App Store and now it is not working.
When trying to update software it used to put up a message "Can't load data from the software update server" and then when I tried again it would download the software.
However now, it gives me that "Can't load data from the software update server" message and will not download software.
Currently I have three items in the Software Update section at the top. These are all Apple updates. Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.03. iTunes 11.1.4 and ProApps QuickTime codecs 1.0.4.
These will not update. If I click on Update All button at top the other buttons turn light, but no installation process takes place. When I check iTunes I see that it is still version 11.1.4.
In the Account Information panel I have clicked on the "Reset" button to reset all warnings for buying and downloading. However this does not make any difference. I have checked that all information in that panel is current.
Does anyone here have any suggestions?
Thank you.

TS1717 Apps store updates badge shows 3 updates but nothing appears in the window...??

Apps store udates badge on my iPhone indicates 3 updates available but nothing shows in the window......anyone had this issue and what is the fix..?

I have the same issue start yesterday. I called Apple as I believed the issue was with the App Store app update server. An Apple support rep confirmed I was correct. The issue now seems to have been resolved.
I told Apple support rep that they should have issued an email to their App Store customers or placed a note on there website so the customers wouldn't waste their time trying to figure out what happened and/or waste time trying to fix an issue that they could never fix.
