App updates not going away

So I have IOS 7 currently installed on my iPhone 4S and when I go to update my apps it still shows the previous app updates, is there a way to get rid of them or is it just a defect in iOS 7?

This is by design now due to the Automatic Updates feature. The only way I have found to clear them is to go into Settings > General > Date & Time and turn off the automatic setting, set your month to several days/months 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.

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.

"Unable to Purchase name of app " PopUp not going away.

Hello!
I hope I am in the right page here. I just got the new 4s and am very happy with it insofar.
However, there is something wierd with my app store. I tried downloading a new app (if it matters it was Angry Piggy ℗) and I got the "Unable to Purchase, try iTunes...etc." window. I said OK and tried another app later, it downloaded, but not without putting up the same window still mentioning Angry Piggy, first. I have since succesfully downloaded Angry Piggy, tried it, and deleted it, with no change to the pop up window.
It doesn't stop my use of the phone at all, it is just really annoying.
How do I get rid of this? Preferably on the phone itself, I do not have a supported computer to plug it into.

Hi Guys,
I have recently found a fix for this issue. If you go to this blog, it contains instruction on full description on how to stop the error messages appearing http://www.blog.gleff.com/2012/03/app-store-unable-to-purchase-fix/
I will briefly explain how to do it:
Go to http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/ and download iexplorer.
Run iexplorer then connect your Apple Device
Go to the "Downloads" folder
Look for a file name called "downloads.28.sqlitedb" or similar and rename it too downloads.28.sqlitedbase (or delete it if you are confident but I will not take responsiblility if anything does go wrong with the device).
Close down the App Store completely and run again and it should work. The message has not appeared for me now for a couple of days and am very pleased that it is gone.

App Store notifications not going away - what to do?

iPhone 3Gs. App Store on the phone shows three apps in need of updating, but those apps have been updated in iTunes, and the phone has synched several times since then. Why are the notifications not going away, and is ther a way to sort this out (without having to update the apps on the phone - they are on different accounts, and it is a pain to have to log in again for each app).

Apple has had an issue earlier with the iTunes Store and various aspects of it's operation. It's mentioned here:
http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
It may take awhile for it to totally clear though.
In the meantime, try the following: Shut down the App Store/ iTunes Store apps from the Multitasking bar:
1.From the Home screen, double-tap the Home button, find the iTunes Store/App Store apps (drag the icons left/right) and swipe up on their respective screen captures, NOT on the icons at the bottom. This will close them.
2. Wait about one minute for the apps to close off
3. Reset the device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
After the reset, try to open the Apps Store and see if the updates notification has cleared.

How can i reset my app store setting? i have signed in and out with my own apple id but i used a different one at first and that one is not going away

How can i reset my app store setting?
I have signed in and out with my own apple id but i used a different one at first a few years ago and that one is not going away how do i change it to my own apple id?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. Your only option is to delete the content and buy it again with the new Apple ID.

Why are my app updates not transfering to my ipad when i sync with my desktop?

Why are my app updates not transfering from my desktop when I sync?

I have updated my apps on my desktop and then I am syncing my Ipad. I just transferred everything to a new desktop and now my update to my games, etc. Are not coming across to my Ipad like they used to. I am not receiving an error message. I can transfer my new purchases to my desktop, but it isn't going the other way.

Mouse not going away

I'm having issues with the mouse icon not going away on a quicktime movie I'm running for an artwork at a museum. I have a computer set to start up at a specific time and then a applescript to run on start up that opens the movie, loops it, and sets it at fullscreen. Everything works fine expect that the mouse icon won't hide and sits on the top of the movie. This only seems to be an issue when it starts up in the morning automatically, not when I manually restart the computer. Any ideas?
Many thanks!

Hi mcrocka:
Welcome!
Press the Option / Apple / esc keys at the same time. That will bring up the Force Quit option.
Then make imovie 'quit'

App updates not running on ipad2 after upgrade to iOS 5 - anybody know or a solution or have same problem?

App updates not running on ipad2 after upgrade to iOS 5 - anybody know or a solution or have same problem?

Operator error! The mute button was on.

Why does that app update not clear in App Store on iTunes Sync?

I have noticed this as a problem ever since I upgraded to iOS8. I always update my apps on my iOS devices by a sync with iTunes. The reason I do this is because I do not like the annoying blue dot beside the app after I update it until I actually open the app. I have been doing this successfully for years. Now that I am on iOS8 I still sync to update but the update badge will not reset even though the app store knows the app is updated. The badge only goes away (resets itself) when there is a new update available in the app store. To overcome this I have turn off notification in the app store so I do not have to see the badge on my screen but I don't understand why iOS 8 is creating this problem. This did not occur in iOS 7 or 6. I thought it was initially because I installed a Beta app for Accompli but that was not correct because I did a complete restore and rebuilt my iOS device from scratch, did not install a backup. Is anybody else having this problem?
Here is how to duplicate:
Wait for you to have apps to update on your iOS device but don't update them through the device. You will need to make sure the auto update for Apps is turned off.
Download the updates for the Apps in iTunes.
Make sure you have the box check in iTunes to for "Automatically install new apps".
Sync
iTunes will sync and update the apps on your device and there will be no blue dots on the update. However, the app store on your device will see that there is no update available any more, the button beside the app in the update section will say open instead of update, but the badge will not reset. Used to be the badge would reset and they updates would no longer appear in the app store at all.

I assume no one has encountered this before?

Do not disconnect not going away

I have a 60 gb video ipod. I have been uploading songs to my ipod before and all of a sudden, it stopped putting them on my ipod. I would watch it transfer in itunes but as soon as i took my ipod off the dock the songs wont be on there.
And another thing. I have to manually eject my ipod now because the do not disconnect screen never goes away even after it says update complete in itunes.

I have the same problem with my ipod nano. Itunes will not consolidate my library, new music will not transfer to my ipod, and whenever I connect my ipod, the "do not disconnect" never goes away. I have already reinstalled the program and I'm still having this problem. How can this be fixed?

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 update not working. Was before but latest updates won't load to update.

I have updates waiting to be loaded but when I click on the update tab, it is frozen and won't even bring up the list of what needs updated. Just shows that I have 3 apps that need updates.Has been working until 2 days ago. Tried a restart but still the same issue.

You are not alone. these are just a few of the discussions going on right now about this. There must be a problem on Apple's end and they will have to fix it.

App update not working: Does not even begin to update

Since a day or two ago, I am having problems with my app updates on the iPad. According to the App Store, I have four apps that need to update. However, when I open the App Store and go to the updates tab, it does not list the apps that need to be updated. It also does not display the button to push to update the apps.
The problem is different from the others that I have read about online. It is not that it is stuck in updating mode. It does not even enter the update mode. All I get is the notice that I have apps that need updating.
I have done a reset to original settings, but that did resolve the problem.
Anyone else with same issue? Any suggestions for how to solve this?
A.

I still have the same problem.I sent email to Apple support but still have not gotten a reply. My iPad App Store App now says I have 12 updates but when I open the app and go to update section it is totally blank. This has been going on for the last five days. I cannot go to work around where you go to iTunes on your computer and update and then transfer that to your iPad because my computer has been out for more than a month which should have nothing to do with the matter. Thus I still cannot update my iPad apps.
Anyone else have same problem or a suggestion?
Thank you

2014.1 App Updates Not Showing Up in Creative Cloud

Hi,
Not all the 2014.1 App updates showed up in my Creative Cloud Application: only Dreamweaver 2014.1 and Edge Animate 2014.1 showed up. I've installed the Application Update for the Creative Cloud App, restarted the app, and no success. I've quit and relaunched the app. They don't show up.
MacBook Pro
Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013
Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
A.

Hi amcallisterocad,
We would like to inform you that application except Dreamweaver, Edge Animate, and Muse would not show version as CC 2014.1 in Creative Cloud desktop app. However, if you go in the app menu then about app, you should see latest build there.
Eg.
Launch Photoshop.
Go to Photoshop menu> About Photoshop.
Check the build there.
Please let us know if there is anything else that we can be of help to you.
Thanks,
Atul Saini
