App store updates whether manual or automatic...

Does anyone know how long the updated apps on your iPhone remain in the updates tab in the App store? Thanks!

Not sure yet but that is new in this release...they will remain there and are sorted by date...I assume they'll eventually fall off based on the number that accumulates but there isn't a lot known as to how long just yet.

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.

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

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.

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?

How to download App Store update once and update several computers? is Remote desktop an option?

I have very slow internet and I'm looking for a way of downloading a App Store update once and update several computers all of them are on the same app store account and same network, would remote desktop be able to do that? The account is a single user account, and there is no problem to download the updates to each computer, from a licensing perspective. It's the time all those downloads take with 1 Mbs internet speed, hats the problem. I managed to move the yosemite download out of the application folder and copy it to all my mac's but say a "pages" update will install automatically when download is complete and delete the downloaded file. So I'm wondering if Remote desktop would allow me to distribute one download to all my macs?

I found the solution: Download Pacifist and the 10.6.7. Combo Update and extract the App Store.app from that update into the app folder. Then every thing works fine.

Delete Apps store/updates/purchase on iphone

Hello,
I have several apps on my iphone within: Apps store/updates/purchase.
There are some apps I want to delete (not hide).
Please help!
Greetings
Mies

After updated apps, apps would disappear on iOS 6 but not iOS 7 apps will not disappear as long lists of apps where are completed and won't disappears.. I read article and explained how to get rid of the updated apps that it said:
"This is by design now due to the Automatic Updates Feature. The only way I have found to clear them is to go into Setting> General> Date & Time and turn off the automatic setting, set your month to several days/month in the future..
Then go back to the App Store and the updates should clear, Then go back to your Date & Time setting and change it back to automatic" by KalebsDad78.
I did try this but still there and won't clear.. I can't figure it out how to get rid..

App store: Updates; get rid of past updates?!!

OS7 has a VERY ANNOYING(and useless in my opinion) thing that when you update an app...it's listed with the date you updated it. How do I get rid of the "past updates" in the app store 'update' menu?

The disappear after a week or two. I find it very USEFUL, especially if you have automatic updates enabled. It's the only way you know an app has been updated. And even if you don't have automatic updating available, its an easy way to go back and check the "What's New" section under each app. I also don't find it inconvenient, as all of the latest updates are always at the top of the list.

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.

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.

App store updates icons go from update to open & remain on screen. How do I get them to disappear from the update screen?

App store - UPDATES screen - icon status is UPDATE - hit UPDATE ALL - icon status changes to OPEN - icons remain on screen
How do I get the updated icons to disappear from the Updates screen?

This is a new feature of iOS 7. A record is kept of which apps were updated and when. Tis is useful if you have apps set to automatically update.

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.
