App Update Failed then App Store Says Not Available

I just attempted to update my iMac with the latest versions of Safari, iPhoto, Aperture, etc.
The files downloaded but the installation then failed.
I have checked the version number of all the affected Apps and confirmed that they did not update (e.g. Safari is v6.0.1, not v6.0.2).
When I return to the App Store, however, it says no updates available.
I found in a CNet article (http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57530446-263/fix-corrupt-mac-app-store-down loads/) a recommendation to delete the cache so that the App Store updates reset. I have tried this but the App Store still shows 'No Updates Available'.
I know I can use the Apple download site to obtain some of the updates, but not all of them are available there e.g. Safari.
Any suggestions?

Just in case anyone arrives here with a similar issue, I wanted to post that the problem has fixed itself. When I relaunched the App Store one day after encountering the issue, the Updates had reappeared.
I was able to successfully download and install them.
Clearly there is a time lag before the Updates reset after a failed download or install. I am sure there is a file that can be deleted or edited to accelerate this, but I have not yet found it...

Every single app on my Apple TV says "not available. Try again later" was watching it about 2-3 hours ago and it was working perfectly fine.

Every single app including the iTunes Store says "not available. Try again later" my Apple TV worked perfectly fine 2-3 hours ago. I've tried updating and it won't do that either. I've tried turning it off and it still didn't work.

Try a restore.

If you still get the 306 after updating to 10.6.1.7, perhaps try the following user tip:

Quick update, the duplicate of the comic-con episode downloaded succesfully, and so has the first episode of Supernatural season 8. Blue dots appear to their left in the library.
All the Vampire Diaries episodes (except the bonus comic-con double) have vanished, but I paid for them !
They're not anywhere on my harddrive either.
Which is new by the way, this is a new MacbookPro, literally set it up today.
So it would seem this is a case of purchased and pseudo-downloaded episodes that ended up beinge gobbled up by some iTunes black hole, leaving me with no money, and no episodes.
Need help, confirmed.

You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

Unable to download app updates from the App Store app

When notified that I have app updates and the app is launched and the update "icon" is entered, nothing happens. Not sure what is going on.

There is a problem with Apple’s servers that only they can fix and the issue has been going on for several days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
This is a workaround only and not a fix. 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
Select update on the Apps
Hopefully the red notification number will go away after the updates are applied.
Another option is to update your apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the updated apps to the iPad.
1. Launch iTunes
2. Click on Apps in the list under the Library heading in the left Sidebar.
Click on Updates at the top in the window on the right
Update all of the apps
Connect your iPad and Sync with iTunes
If you do not see the sidebar in iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top.

Automatic app updates in iOS 8, only when not signed in with Apple ID?

Just updated to iOS 8, and discovered an odd issue, as follows:
One of my favorite additions of iOS 7 was the automatic app updates, because I do not have access to the app store. My app store is locked under restrictions, but with automatic updates I had no need for the app store in order to update my existing apps.
Well, I just updated to iOS 8, and I find that there is only an option for automatic app updates when the app store is open, but as soon as the app store is locked through restrictions, the automatic updates option disappears. And to add to the mystery, the only way to get it back is by SIGNING OUT of my Apple ID. When I do that, the automatic music downloads option disappears, and it is replaced by an option for automatic app updates.
Is this intentional? Why on Earth is there no option for auto updates when signed in, only when signed out? I can't make any sense of it. Any help would be appreciated.
Other than that, iOS 8 is awesome so far.

Why am I unable to install some apps updates from the app store? Does anybody know why? I need help!!!

1.   Are you using the right signing in details?
2.   Were the Apps originally bought via the App Store?
3.   Have you checked if they are partially downloaded?
