App store wrongly shows 1 update needed.
My App store indicates I have one App to update ... (a little red circle with a 1 inside it) ... but the list of Udates shows everything is up to date. Ive re-booted and it makes no difference.
What should I do? (this is for iOS 8.2 )
Thanks
Wait it out. That's what I do when it happens to me - and it does happen to me from time to time. Eventually it will be corrected. If you force closed the App Store app and reset or restarted the iPad, there really isn't anything else that you can do other than maybe restore the device and I think that would be a little bit of overkill for this little annoyance.
IF you didn't force close the App Store, you can try that, but I don't think its going to make a difference. In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.

Have Yosemite. App Store only showing Mavericks update
Hello!
I've been on Yosemite since it launched publicly, but the App Store has only ever shown updates for Mavericks and have never seen the 10.10.1 update show up.
When I click 'UPDATE' on the 10.9.5 update, nothing happens.
The About screen isn't bugged either, as I do have all the new features of Yosemite and use them regularly.
Any idea what's going on here?
Thanks!Hmmm, never mind, the problem has mysteriously fixed itself thankfully :-)

I downloaded Blackmagic Speed Disk from the Mac App store last year. Its not a pirated copy or anything. I deleted the app cause I never used it. After I deleted the app the Mac App Store shows an available update for the deleted app. When I click update, it just re-downloads the app. Cant figure out how to completly get rid of it. I uninstalled the app and then used easy file finder to delete the app's files completely. How do I get rid of the annoying Update??? Thanks
Hide the app from your Purchases list. Sign into your account (Store menu). Go to Purchases pane, right click on the app in question, Hide the app.

App Store constantly shows 1 update avail ...
but no update actually is. This happens when I quit App Store. When I reopen the App Store, the 1 update option disappears. What's going on?
Getting rid of that irksome red No1. Two solutions I know of.
Completely remove the app with AppZapper or the like. Then reinstall it. Reinstalling it will be free because you would have already paid for it. The new install would then be the updated version.
And Dah*veed wrote this recently to offer the following solution.
You could try reindexing your HDD. The MAS uses the Spotlight indexing in determining what apps need updating. Go to Systems Preferences / Spotlight/ Privacy; add your Hdd to the list then remove it from the list. Spotlight will then reindex your HDD.
This has worked for me. -
App Store not showing available update (for X-Code)
Hello,
I regularly check if there are update's for the applications I've purchased and downloaded from the Mac App Store.
So also yesterday.
Result: "all applications are up to date / no updates available".
I have Apple's X-Code installed. Version 4.2.1.
As I browsed the App Store and clicked on X-Code, I saw that the current version was 4.3.3.
Anyone an idea why the App Store said all my applications where up to date where that wasn't the case?
Do I have to check each installed application manually to be sure I have the latest update?
MacBook Pro (early 2011 model) running Mac OS X 10.7.4
Kind regards,
emeu1If you downloaded Xcode from the App Store the update should have been available but there is a work around for this.
Download this free utility to uninstall Xcode and all the associated files > Download AppCleaner for Mac
Then launch AppCleaner. Then drag the Xcode app from the Applications folder to the AppCleaner window. Delete all the associated files listed in that window.
Now go to the App Store and re download the app. That will install the latest 4.3.3 version.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original download. -
Itune's app store keeps showing same updates?
I check for updates to my iOS apps and I keep getting the same updates even after I downloaded them. Why is this? It's vary ignoring. I have rebooted the mac and quit and relaunch iTunes but nothing seem to get rid of this issue. I don't want to delete my library file and start over. Is there a way to repair or any tool that will rebuild the library without starting from scratch?
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

App Store keeps showing update for program that has been uninstalled
The App Store keeps showing an update available for Virus Barrier Express even after I have removed it completely from my system. Going into the Purchased list shows it is not installed. When the application was installed it always said there was an update. No matter how many times you clicked Update and allowed it to download and install the update, the App Store still showed the update needed to be installed.
On another machine it constantly shows an update for one of the installed applications but clicking the update button doesn't clear the update once it's been downloaded and installed.
Deleting the App Store preference hasn't resolved the issue. Enabling the debug menu and using the Reset Applications option has not either.I found out what was causing my problem (can't re-install an app that I deleted and which was purchased from the App Store). The app I was trying to re-install under Lion was Apple's Compressor v4 which is only available through the Mac App Store. However, even though I was booting from my one-and-only copy of Lion the Mac App Store was apparently getting confused by an old copy of Compressor v3.5 that was installed on another boot disk that I maintain for Snow Leopard. I'm running on a quad-disk Mac Pro so all four disks mount whenever I start the system. In any case, all I had to do was unmount the other disks and the Mac App Store then allowed me to install Compressor v4 on my Lion system.
The reason I was able to pinpoint this solution is that I wanted to run another Mac App Store app (Find Any File) and even though the Store said it was "Installed" I couldn't find the application in either the Lion Application folder or within LaunchPad. I then realized that the App Store was referencing the copy of that app that was stored on my Snow Leopard disk and unmounting that disk finally allowed me to install both Compressor v4 and Find Any File on my actual/current boot disk (i.e. Lion).
Now, the odd thing about this problem is that Compressor v4 wasn't installed on any of my disks, it was the older version of Compressor (v3.5.3) that apparently was preventing me from installing the new version 4 on my Lion system. In fact, Compressor v3.5.3 crashes immediately under Lion so that version of the app isn't even usable when I'm running Lion.
So, if you're having a problem with installation or app removal or updates from the Mac App Store try dismounting any other disks which you might have attached to your Mac and see it that solves your problem. If it does solve the problem then you can almost be assured that the cause of your difficulty is some file that is present on one of your other disks (i.e. app may not even be on your current boot disk). -
I have an iPad 1 that is currently showing software updated at version 5.1.1. Is it possible to update to iOS version 7 on this device? My goal is to get Garage Band on this device and the app store is telling me I need iOS version 7.
Hi,
If you really need to upgrade you can save a bit of money and get an older version than the ipad Air.
First, you can sell your ipad 1 to places like gazelle.com, cashforyourmac.com, sellyour mac.com, or many others out there. The sites I listed give you cash. At this point gazelle.com is giving $70.00 for any ipad 1 in 'good' condition. And cashforyourmac will give you $25.00 over what gazelle.com or sellyourmac.com offers you. Shipping is free.
Then, with that money, go the the Apple online certified refurbished store. As an example, a new 64gb Air costs $699.00. A refurbed 4th gen 64gb costs $529.00 and a 3rd gen 64gb costs $499.00. Personally, I'd skip the 3rd gen. So if you buy a 4th gen 64gb at $529.00 minus what you can get from a sale to above, you can get an ipad 4 64gb for just over $430.00, a savings of savings of about $270.00. (A new 32gb Air is $599.00, a 4th gen 32gb is $449.00, and a 3rd gen 32gb is not on the site right now.) Google it and check if you can get better offers anywhere else. But getting one from the Apple refurb store gives you an essentially new ipad and using the above sites, you're not locked in with a particular site which will give you a gift card and restrict you to their store/site.
Each Apple refurbished ipad (any version) comes with a new front and back cover, a brand new battery, same return policy, and a full one year warranty with 90 days of phone support. Each comes in a white box like a new ipad with the wall charger and usb cable. The only difference is that it says in small print on the bottom of the box that it is Apple certified refurbished. Also, if you buy refurbs, be sure to check the store many times a day. They can come and go quickly, so when you see what you want, buy it right away. Shipping is free and pretty fast. (We bought two a year and a half ago and they have been great!)
Hope this helps. -
App store shows 1 updated needed on my phone
The app store app on my iPhone 5, fully updated, shows a red dot with a 1 in it. When i open the app store and go to updates it doesn't show any app needing an update. iTunes on my computer doesn't show any update needed either. Help please.
Try restarting or resetting your phone. You won't lose any data.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset -
App Store always shows Motion needs updating...
I've had this problem for months now. The App Store always shows Motion needs updating. But I have updated Motion (I check to make sure I have the current version).
I've ignored this problem up until now because Motion works fine and I do have the current version. I figured that sooner or later Apple would issue some fix, or that it would disappear on a future Motion or OS update. Well, I just updated to Mountain Lion yesterday, and I've updated Motion at least a couple of times, and the problem continues.
And now it's getting stuck in a loop showing I need to update to 5.0.7, even though I've updated. But now when I look in the update section of the App Store, it shows that it is possible to update (even though I have the current version). If I click "Update" again, it starts downloading and then starts endlessly installing it, but never finishes.
Any idea what's going on here? Any suggestions?
Thanks!I did speak with Apple support last night. I uninstalled & reinstalled, and now I have the current version and it is working fine.
However, I'm still having the same problem I've been having for months: The App Store shows that I need to update Motion, even though I already have the current version. I don't know what is causing that, especially after I uninstalled and reinstalled. -
Tried to open a file I created in Numbers a while ago, which I modified on 11/4/13, and got a message that I needed a newer version of Numbers. When I went to the Mac App Store it shows that the new version is already installed and there doesn't seem to be a way to reinstall it. When I checked "About Numbers" on my MacBook it shows "Numbers '09 version 2.3". Any suggestions as to how I can get the new version installed?
Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

Do you have apps purchased with a differnt AppleID?
For example, mine shows 12 updates but only 2 show up as being available.
The others are on my daughters account.
I log out of my iTunes account and log in with hers and those updates show up. -
Hey
I have two apps on my Mac App Store that won't update no matter what I do.
One of them is not even mine. It shows a weird russian email address that does not belong to me.
The other one says "updated" but won't go away from the updates list no matter what I do (Reboots, etc).
How can I erase them? I need niether apps.
Thank you very much.
Instalada = Installed & Actualizar = Update

<Email Image Edited By Host>Hey!
There are two things here. The first one is that the apps aren't of course hacked/pirated. The mac is of a friend of mine. She's 65 or something and has no idea on how to hack apps, plus, afaik, nobody else has access to her computer.
Secondly, the thing is that niether app shows at the app list, and we even made a find from a terminal window, and got no results of the apps.
It is a very strange behavoir and if somebody has a solution I'll be glad to hear it.
BTW, She just upgraded her machine to OS X 10.8.1, I'll check if the upgrad fixed the bug.
Thanks!!
