App updates not disappearing after updating

I definitely didn't have this problem before iOS 7: after I update an app on the App Store on my iPhone 5, the update doesn't go away. It will stay there with 'open' instead of 'update', but stays there for good. Any help?

Greetings, iinami, I also had the same issue on my iPhone under iOS 7.0.4, but I found a solution to clear out those dozens of App's purchases which clutter the Updates' window, and they would not go away even after you had already opened the update.
This procedure worked on my iPhone, you may want to give it a try:
1. Go to Settings > General > Date & Time;
2. Turn off "Set Automatically";
3. Click on your date and time (displayed in blue);
4. Set the Month/Year to a year from today (say: "Jan 26, 2015")
5. Exit Settings
6. Now check your App-Store Updates' status
Voila!
You can set your Date & Time back to "Set Automatically". Those Apps will not re-appear.
I have just found this out while I have not had an update since. So, I am not sure, but I have a felling that this will recur on my next update and the next, and so on.
This is either a bug or Apple has set the updated app to go away on a timer. What a waste of time for Apple and for us.
Perhaps Apple could use a little of "if it isn't broken don't fix it!".
I wish you success!

  • Apps don't disappear after updating

    My updated apps don't disappear after updating concludes on my iPad.  I noticed that this only started happening after installation of iOS7.

    Hi Aleagle,
    Just so you know, the reason this was changed for iOS 7 was in conjunction with the Automatic Update feature that was also introduced with iOS 7. If updates to apps are being done automatically, then you would have no way to know what apps were updated or when. This new list in the Updates tab was added to provide the update history information.

  • My apps will not open after updating to ios 5

    My Iphone 4 will not open apps after updating to ios5.

    If you search on google this is an old problem that many people have after upgrading devices and restoring from backups. If I can remember correctly, just re-sync the device in iTunes, and it should sort it out.

  • App will not open after update from market.

    I have an android app that when I publish an update and the user downloads the update the app will not open.  It opens for a second and then closes.
    This happens even if I do not change anything in the update.
    The only thing I can find is that after downloading the update I clear the cache and it works fine.  My question is does anyone know why this might happen.  Also is there a way to clear the cache at time of update.

    ok i created a hello world app to try a nail down this issue.
    i created the app with version 1.0.0
    uploaded it to my server on the net.
    hit the web address from my phone, downloaded and installed
    then changed the version number to 1.0.1
    uploaded this apk
    downloaded and installed to phone
    app would then open for sec then close
    only fixable by clearing application cache.
    I can't believe the answer to this problem is not available by googling it.
    has no one else encountered this?
    please help, i am scared to release any updates to my programs - massive influx of email from mad users who can not open there apps.

  • App do not install after update iOS 5.01

    After updating to iOS 5.01 only a few of my 137 App do synchronize. iTunes error message: Could not find the file for ...app (translated from German). Also reinstall out of a backup did not help. The same problem.
    The apps are organized in folders. If I check the missing apps in iTunes to synchronize, the were not put in the original folders.
    I do also have iCould Backup but I suppose that this does not help becaue meanwhile the backup was made automatically.
    Can anyone help?
    Stefan

    I could solve the problem: the Apps are stored in "MyMusic/iTunes/<Username>/Mobile Applications". But some of my Apps were stored in a folder within iTunes Media. Just copied those back to there original location and sync worked.
    I do not know, why I had a second folder. I think the error message from iTunes is not very helpful and all is very intransparent.

  • Ipad2 app store update notes remain after update complete

    After updating apps, the app icon and and related notes which appeared when update is released are not removed from update page after the update has been completed. It remains and the "update" button changes to "open" as expected. But update info will not go away.

    That's how it is now. Presumably it's meant to be transparency for those that have auto app updates enabled, to allow them to see what their iPad did 'behind their backs' so to speak. But it means that everyone gets the list, whether they have auto updates on or not.
    Those updates will drop off after about 3 weeks or so.

  • Old notes disappeared after updated to OS X Mavericks

    After updating to OS X Marericks I lost all my old notes from the "Notes" app.
    I do have an iCould account but I never linked it. Now all my notes had been replaced with the notes from my iPhone, pretty much NOTHING!!!
    Unfortunately I did not backup my MBP before updating because I don't have a hard drive big enough to use TimeMachine..
    Is there any way I can retreat my old notes?? They were very valuable to me and this is really upsetting.
    Thank you.

    A Major change is an excellent occasion to pause and make extra Backups before you proceed.
    Drives are incredibly cheap by historical standards. There is no reason NOT to make one or more Backups first.
    [Restoring after] Backing Up  is SO much easier than FIXing Up.

  • App updates not going after updating

    Does anyone else have this?
    I've had it 3 times now (both in iTunes and on the iPhone)
    It says I have an app update, so I update the app. But then it STILL says I have the same app update to do and dont know how to get rid of the (1) that hovers on the app.

    I also have the same problem. It started earlier this week. It's always the most recently updated app that gets 'stuck' and iTunes thinks that it needs to download an update even though the update has already been downloaded and installed. Yesterday it listed an update for 'Trip Advisor' even though I had already downloaded and installed the update. This morning the same update was still showing. However, when I clicked 'check for updates', iTunes found other apps that required an update. It downloaded those and then 'Trip Advisor' disappeared from the list of updates and instead now the latest app to be updated is now stuck in 'update available' mode. Very frustrating. I have tried completely deleting the impacted apps and then re-downloading. Doesn't help.
    I'm hoping this is a bug on the iTunes store and that they fix it soon. I'm using the UK iTunes store.
    Regards,
    Stuart

  • App updates not disappearing after installation

    I received notification in my iPad's App Store that new updates were available. I selected Update All, and they were all applied successfully. However, when I returned to the App Store all the update icons were still there even though the updates were applied - what's up with that? PS I'm running iOS 7. Thanks for Help on this one!

    That seems to be a new thing. I actually like it, because it has the date of the update and includes a description of what was IN the update. I can't tell you how many times I've applied an update and then wondered... what were the new features again?

  • Blackberry App World not working after update to 3.1.0.58

    I have a Bold 9650. I am running BB version 6.0 Bundle 2333, Yesterday (12/25/2011) App World told me I had an update to App World. It was for version 3.1.0.58. I was at 3.1.0.56 at the time. I accepted the upgrade. After the restart, App World no longer shows up as a running application. I have restarted the Bold twice, and I can not even find the app in the "All" screen. It is listed in the Options->Device->Application Management but says it has never been used. I'm new to this beast and am stuck. Any idea how I can go back to 3.1.0.56 - which worked for me? After this, I am going to be a bit more careful before allowing updates.
    Thanks in advance for any help you may offer.

    When I enter www.blackberry.com/appworld/download in the blackberry browser, it redirects me to http://mobileapps.blackberry.com/devicesoftware/index.do which tells me to "View Blackberry App World Availability" which in turn gives me a list of countries. But no download link or any other link - just a flat list.  And, of course, it does include the USA....
    So, I brought up the URL in IE after hooking up the Blackerry to my laptop, which has the plugin installed. I got the page with 2 options. "Enter an email address and it will send to my mailbox a link to the download." So I entered my email address and it sent me a link. The link that it sent me took me right back to the "View Blackberry App World Availability" page. Nothing.
    The other option said to plug in the Blackberry, which was already plugged into the USB and communicating. Supposedly this will install via the USB port. But it returned the following. 
    "Downloads via a USB connection are not enabled for this product. Please visit our mobile download site using the browser on your BlackBerry® smartphone.
    Which again gets me nowhere.
    This is crazy. Can't wait to get rid of this useless "SmartPhone". What a joke. But thanks for the help... 

  • Messages app will not open after updating my iphone 4s to ios 8.1

    I have just updated my iphone 4s 32g from ios 7.something to ios 8.1. Update  seemed to go smoothly, however I have not been able to use my text messages and imessage application. Every time I try open it, I get a mostly white screen which hangs for a while then crashes. I receive notifications for texts and imessages reveived, but cannot open them.
    Have tried all message related suggestions that I have found on the net, such as switching imessage on and off and I have tried a total system restore, but same problem exists once the restore has been done.
    Very very frustrating.
    Anyone have any guidance for me?

    I have the same issues. I have a iPhone 5s and did the update this morning.

  • [Solved] Xfce4.8: App shortcuts not working after update

    Hello,
    since pacman upgraded my Xfce to 4.8, my application shortcuts are no longer working. I especially need them to emulate a third button with Super_L and bind the netbook function keys for audio volume/muting to amixer calls. I already tried to rebind all shortcuts, but that didn't help. Any ideas?
    Edit: I already tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xf … 7t_working, but this didn't help
    Edit2: Solved it. Apparently I lost xfce4-settings-helper during the migration from 4.6. So I restarted it manually and then saved my session.

    I am not bothering with windows 10 my friend, it is too much of an newbe baby at the moment and there are just too many bug fixes need doing in my opinion.  I did manage to get my dolby home theatre to work again in windows 10, but it was an awful dulled down version with only half the features of the original that came with the version that was on my pc. My plan is to stick to windows 8.1 until it's death.  When they withdrawl all the security patches for windows 8.1 and it becomes obsolete, then I will be forced to trash my pc again and go to windows 10, was not much fun mind spending 3.5 days putting everything back to its former state.   Hope they do make windows 10 more stable and fix a lot of the bugs.  I tried opening videos and pictures in windows 10.... result = missing element errors.... and  error, error,  error,,,  So I think I will wait until 28 July 16 to when the last day of my free upgrade and reservation to windows 10 becomes mandatory.  (This is I day before my year to upgrade expires). Thanks for your post.  Will     

  • Nokia C3's Nokia Email app is not responding after...

    Dear Nokia Team,
    When I updated my Nokia C3-00's firmware from version 4.60 to 7.20, the responsiveness of the Ovi apps (Facebook and Twitter) is much better compare before, BUT, when I am opening the Nokia Email app, is freezes into "Loading Mail" status for almost a minute... Any problems with my update?
    I properly connected this to my PC and it updated without any interruption... And some 3rd party apps is not working after updating to this version (I guess those few 3rd party apps doesnt know there is incremental update you provided for this model except Snaptu which is working now)
    Any address to this problem?
    Appreciate your immediate response. Thanks!

    hi. i also face the same thing on my nokia c3.Third party software not available and mail app not working.But unlike other replies i am going to give you a solution.
    Nokia new firmvare version i.e 7.2 currently block 3rd party software downloads.It only supports applications from ovi store.There is an installation process going on in ovi when we download an app which make it usable.so if you want to use a third party app all you hav to do is download it to pc then just copy that app to your memmory card or to phone memory which will work
    Next about the mail app.
    I am a user from india and using the connection idea.when i updated my phone software i also lost my email app.
    But yesterday when i requested for new internet setting i found in its items supported list, settings for nokia visual radio,nokia communities,nokia mail etc i set it as my configuration and used mail.At that time it was working.So you all want a propper internet settings containing settings for nokia mail to make mail app to work.Or you can configure it manually like you do on office outlook.
    If u face anyproblem in using nokia c3. I will be happy to help you.

  • Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "

    Problem with new version 4.3.2 apps not working " after update to the new version "
    i was in 4.3.1 then i do the update , but now after update i face this problem , so what i Supposed to do ?!!

    Hi There
    Had the same problem as you. App would terminate when launched.
    Solution to working You Tube app:
    -Go to playstore
    - Uninstall app (it doesn't remove the app, only removes the update)
    - "Et Voila", working again.
    This doesn't correct the problem, it's just a workaround for you to be able to use youtube app again.
    Hope it helped.
    Best Regards

    There's a system component that 's missing that Photos is trying to use.  You'll need to boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and reinstall the system.
