App Store Updates on MacAir Since Update

Since the update to Mavericks, I notice that when I click on a app update it takes several clicks to actually start the update. Also, the update process is funky. The meter that shows how much time is left sometimes shows, sometimes not. Its also doing strange things with launchpad on the dock, jumping up and down, even after the app has been updated.
I just updated 2 apps in updates, and now there is a round circle spinning. Its not the rainbow circle, just a grey circle spinning at the top left next to the back/forward page buttons.
Anyone else experience problems with app store since update? Anyone know of any fixes I can try?

I have noticed at some updates take awhile to get started.
There is a contact link.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

App store update shows I can't update an app since my Apple ID is not associated with my account on Yosemite

App store update shows I can't update an app since my Apple ID is not associated with my account on Yosemite. How can I just force it to allow me to RE-BUY the app again since I don't even have it to update, but I want it?
Currently, I even though I don't have the app, I am not given the option to buy, only to "update", and when I click on that it either hangs or it complains that it can't since my Apple ID is not associated with my account.

And it was your wife's Apple ID that was used to download and install the Yosemite you are using on this computer? If so then I suggest you need to contact Apple to get his straightened out.

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.

Here are some suggestions for getting the best results from this site.
Create a user profile that accurately reflects the type of hardware you're using and your version of OS X, or include that information in your first message.
Give details of the problem. A remark such as "X doesn't work" conveys no useful information. If X did work, you wouldn't be here. Instead, you should post something like this: "I did A; I expected B; but I got C." Include the complete, verbatim text of any error messages you saw, and specify where you saw them: in an application window, a CrashReporter window, a log, or whatever.
Also describe the steps you’ve taken yourself, if any, to try to resolve the issue. If the problem is of recent origin, did you make any changes to your setup just before you first noticed it? Is the problem reproducible or intermittent? That is, does it always manifest itself when you take a certain action, or only at unpredictable times?
Before posting, ask yourself whether it’s likely that you are the the only person ever to have had this problem. If not, search the discussions for answered questions similar to yours. If you found any pertinent information, but it didn't help, give details.

Mac App Store updates are looping (stuck in the same updates)

I've been using Mac OS X Mavericks since last year and didn't had any issues with App Store before. However, since last month, I've been trying to install some application updates (TextWrangler, iBooks Author,...) and it seems to be looping. The updates are shown in "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days" but they are always reapearing in the Available Updates windows, as you can see in the attached picture. Has anyone seen this behaviour before ? Do you have any idea how to solve this problem? Also, I've tried to remove two of those applications (123Make and iBoostUp) but the Updates continue to appear in the same window.
Thanks.

A Fix For: App Store Keeps Wanting To Update Apps

"err = -43" when downloading app store updates

Help,
I added a NAS a few months ago, and use that to store my iTunes library. Since then, whenever I have app store updates, I usually get ~50-75% rate of receiving an error message when auto-downloading updates. The process runs through, but many of the apps receive this error, and many other apps go through the entire downloading process, but iTunes still shows them as needing updates afterward, requiring another full download.
I'm fairly certain this has to do with my NAS, but am hoping someone can help me understand what settings/configuration could help to minimize the occurrence of this issue.

Try deleting the partial cached downloads in the iTunes media folder.
That error is outlined here -> iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
"Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023"
These alerts occur due to timeouts or conflicts trying to write a file during download.
If you encounter this issue while accessing iTunes Store:
See iTunes 9: "One Moment Please" or "Error (-50)" message when accessing iTunes Store
If you encounter this issue while while downloading something from the iTunes Store:
Delete your iTunes Downloads folder, located in:
Mac OS X:  ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Downloads Note: "iTunes Media" may appear as "iTunes Music. Also, the tilde (~) refers to your Home directory.
Windows Vista:  \Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows 7:  \Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Downloads\
After locating your iTunes Downloads folder:
Quit iTunes.
Delete the Downloads folder on your computer.
Open iTunes.

OSX App store updates

Any help to solve this app store update issue? This has been like this since few months now. I am sure there are app updates available as shows in the badge, but it never show in the list and allow me to update.

Nothing Happens even when I click on more. It only shows the sytem updates and not the third party apps downloaded from App Store. Even the cmd+tab ribbon shows the available update badge, but no applications available to update when I go inside the appstore.

App store updates are not showing

App store updates are not showing since yesterday

Agreed. Since installing iOS 7 I seem to have to open the App Store before available updates show. I currently have background app refreshes switched "on" but no apps actually selected from the list.

Get rid of mac app store update??

I had to do a clean install of snow leopard because i didnt like the way lion ran on my macbook. 2 days later i saw an app store update icon. I found it odd since i hadnt added any apps yet. it said there is an update for the store news update. but i dont have that app so i tried to install it and delete it but it says i have to sign in with some strange email. im lost and dont know how that is possible. can someone please explain how to get rid of it?

Here's a theory about this...
When you set up your SL system, did you reinstall or continue to use your own software like personal apps, games, etc.? If so, were they all from "legitimate" sources? If not, it is possible you have a hacked version of some software which originally came from the app store and that hacked version has a _MASReceipt from the app that's confusing you.
Once upon a time a simple hack was to take the _MASReceipt from some free app store app and replace the _MASReceipt's in a non-free app store app. I think that hole is long since sealed. But if there is a wayward _MASReceipt floating around in some app bundle then the App Store stuff added to systems beyond 10.6.5 is going to find it. Apparently the app the _MASReceipt's originally came from for has been updated and you are being notified about it. And I guess _MASReceipt's contain account info adding to the confusion.
So you need to check for a _MASReceipt in some app bundle. Download a search utility that can look into app bundles, e.g., Find Any Fiile, and tell it to search for _MASReceipt. You will see a checkbox on top that says Show Package Contents. Keep that checked. It will then search within application bundles. If there's a _MASReceipt somewhere, someplace, you should be able to find it. Then trash the app that contains it.
Again, just my theory.

App Store Update shows App already installed, but still keeps bugging me

App Store Updates continually shows Apple Remote Desktop V 3.7.2 as an update. When I click on UPDATE, I get the message:
"Remote Desktop is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates."
"Software Update from the Apple menu" no longer exists since upgrading to Yosemite. Besides, that's what the UPDATE button does.
I looked at other discussions, and tried the advice there, with no luck:
I downloaded Remote Desktop Version 3.7.2 again, and it would not install, saying a newer version already exists.
I turned off Applications in Spotlight, then turned it back on. I even restarted before turning it back on.
I went to delete "~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore" but there isn't one.
There's got to be a way get rid of this. No it's bugging me in Notifications to update software that won't update, because it does not need updating.

I can't find the disc, which was installed at least 6 years ago, when I was living in another city. Remote Desktop Admin was very expensive at the time. $299 if I remember correctly.
I've since deleted every file with remotedesktopadmin in the name, from system and user libraries. Restored 3.7.2 from the external drive, and the problem persists.
It would appear to be a software bug in App Store since I installed Yosemite. In six years of using Remote Desktop I've never had a problem until Yosemite install.
3.6 would not run because it checks for updates first. 3.7.2 runs just fine, and the App knows there is no update - otherwise it would behave like 3.6 and require an update. It's only App Store Update that erroneously indicates the App needs updating. If I deleted all plists, preferences, receipts, etc. what does App Store Update use to determine App update status?
Moreover, if I did not buy it on the App Store (there was no App Store six years ago), why is it showing up at all? I have lots of software that I bought directly from the vendor, and I don't get erroneous update messages for those.
Even stranger, when I looked at trying to buy a new copy in the App Store, instead of Buy, the icon said "Open". Somehow App Store thinks I bought it from the App Store, even though I didn't? I clicked Open, and while the App was running, the erroneous update message STILL persisted.

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.

I have installed the latest OS X Updaate 10.8.4 - several times on my iMac, with restarts, but it won't disappear from my App Store update list. Why?

I have installed the latest OS X Updaate 10.8.4 - several times on my iMac, with restarts, but it won't disappear from my App Store update list. Why? ..and how do I get rid of it?

I had a similar problem with trying to update using the App Store, and being told that the software was "installed" yet I was still only running 10.8.3.
The App Store was continually saying the 10.8.4 was available but with many tries I still could not download or install it.
And there are a few links to the OSX 10.8.4 (Combo) update that actually lead to a "Cant find this page error" on the Apple site and the App Store.
I did find a link to just the vanilla flavoured OSX 10.8.4 update here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1658 which is a smaller download of 359mb rather than 849mb with the combo update.
The simple OSX 10.8.4 update downloaded fine with Safari and I installed it with no problems from the finder. A few opening's on closing's of the App Store app made the update flag finally disappear.
I have since come back here to report this and then found the link to 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Update v10.8.4 (Combo) at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1659 above and found that this link also starts to download the update through Safari and while I decided that I no longer needed it, I would presume that it would still install fine from the finder like the OSX 10.8.4 update did.
So it seems to me that there is a problem with (maybe occasionally) updating from the App Store, but if you download from either of the two "hard" links above and install from the finder it should be fine.

App Store update problem: updates do not install

Hello,
since some weeks I have the following problem: In App Store -> updates an available update is shown. Then I click the update button, but it does not install:
- at some apps there is a little black&white + sign in the top left corner of the update button. When I press the update button nothing happens.
- at some apps the update button changes to a green install button. Once I click on the install button it changes back to the update button.
I can bypass this problem by using the search function, find the app that offers an update and click on install there. It installs correctly and the update is no longer displayed. But when there are several updates available at the same time this is an annoying procedure.
I can also buy other apps I have not yet installed without problems.
My iPhone is a 2G with the latest OS 3.1.3.
Thanks for your help

Now I learnt that Apple doesn't like customers that use the same Apple product for a longer time. "Please throw away once we have the next iPhone".
Since no one actually said that, let alone the fact that Apple wasn't participating, that statement is nonsense.
If you haven't grasped the concept that apps become obsolete with the never ending updates of hardware and operating systems, you're truly naive. This is true with all computer, smartphone, and software manufacturers. All things can't be supported forever.

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.

Mac App Store update: right Apple ID but wrong user account

My Mac App Store updates get associated to the wrong user account but the correct Apple ID.
I live in Germany and have an iMac and a MacBook Pro, both purchased under Snow Leopard and now running Lion 10.7.2. Just after upgrading to Lion I "purchased" a free App (BibleReader 5.0.0). This morning I logged into my wife's user account on the MacBook Pro, and the App Store icon flagged an update. I switched to my user account and was surprised to see that the update wasn't flagged there. By listing my purchases I did suceed in finding an "update" button for BibleReader, but pressing it resulted in a (German) error message whch translates as "An update is available for another account. Please log in with the account you used to purchase the App". But that is what I had just done.
Intrigued I went back to my wife's user account. By logging onto the Mac App Store with my Apple ID from my wife's user account I did manage to update the app. Later at work I got the same error message on the iMac. But this time the only other user account on the machine belongs to Computing Services: I don't have their password and I ought not to use admin rights to gain access to their account. So I can't perform the upgrade on the iMac.
All family iTunes / App Store purchases are via my main Apple ID. My wife's user account on the MacBook Pro only exists so that I can manually synchronise our iCloud address books (she has an iPad).
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
All the applications you purchase on the App Store are registered to your Apple ID, so you have to use your Apple ID to update them, or you have to purchase those applications again using the Apple ID they are using on that computer, so they will be able to update them

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
