AppStore claims no updates - but there are!

Anyone else seen this?
In iTunes on my Mac when I check for updates iTunes claims all my apps are up to date, no new updates.
In the AppStore on my 3G iPhone same result, no new updates.
Then I saw that my version of Pianist is 1.0 while the current one is 1.2! So there must be an update! So I purchased Pianist again on my iPhone's AppStore and got the message "This update is free because you own a previous version." (or something like that). Aha! So there is an update!
Then I saw that my version of Ocarina is 1.0.1 while the current version is also 1.2! Purchased Ocarina on my iPhone again and got the same message "This update is free because you own a previous version." Aha! Another one!
So what's happening? I can no longer trust the AppStore on my iPhone nor in iTunes to tell me 'no new updates'... It seems to say that even though there are!
p.s.
Once I updated those two apps on my iPhone, suddenly my iTunes account claims: There are 2 new updates for your applications: Pianist and Ocarina.
Duh!

My iPhone's connected via WiFi.
When launching the AppStore the spinning gear appears briefly and then it says 'All Apps Are Up to Date'.
Yet again:
I checked Super Monkey Ball. According to iTunes on my Mac my copy is version 1.0.1 and according to the iPhone AppStore the current one is 1.0.2! Another app that should be updated!
So I tap on 'Buy Now" and am greeted with 'This update is free because you own a previous version of this item.' Aha!
Clicking OK downloads 1.0.2.
And lo and behold: iTunes on my Mac now tells me I have 3 applications that need updating!
So so, all of a sudden...
What might be screwing things up potentially / expose the bug in Apple's software:
- These apps were originally purchased on an iPhone 2.5G. I later moved to an iPhone 3G via an iTunes backup and restore. Perhaps some original database with the app versions did not make it across via the iTunes backup?
- I moved continent recently, those apps were purchased on a different address on my iTunes account than now.
But as it currently stands I cannot trust either iTunes on my Mac nor the AppStore on my iPhone in regards to updates - and must manually check every app I have. What a pain...

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, but since doing so I find that my 1Password app will not work. I have checked for 1Password updates but there are none. Is there a compatibility issue

I upgraded to Mountain Lion yesterday, but since doing so I find that my 1Password app will not work. I have checked for 1Password updates but there are none. Is there a compatibility issue

Hmmm...I'm using 1Password Version 3.8.20 (build 31499) with a fresh install (scrape and pave) of Mt. Lion on my iMac and it's working fine.
I use Dropbox to sync 1Password so for my fresh install I simply downloaded 1Password from Agilbits website and installed it.
Have you tried reinstalling 1Password? Depending on how you purchased it, download it from their website or from the Mac App store to reinstall/replace it. (IIRC v3.8.x comes directly from Agilbits and v3.9 from the Mac App store.) You shouldn't have to uninstall it, the new download should overwrite the existing copy.
As with anything else, be sure to run a backup first!

Iphoto won't load an gives me a message box that states that it is being updated, but there are no updates available

The new update for iphoto has locked my app up and I now can't access iphoto. I've restarted and turned off and rebooted, but the software is still locked up with the error message that it is updating.

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Why do some websites tell me that my Safari needs to be updated but there are no Software Updates for my computer?

I have Safari version 5.1.10 and Maverick 10.6.8. I see that there is Safari 6 & 7 but when I run a Software Update, it says my computer is up to date.

Those are only for newer Mac OS X versions; you need to upgrade the computer's OS or switch browsers.
To upgrade, open the Mac App Store and try downloading Mavericks. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.

goodnight. as you know apple has evolved considerably until today but there are people who do not have ability to buy new products. in my case I would like to know why the apple do not let the iphone 3g update to iOS 4.3 as are several applications that can not put on my iphone 3g due to this reason. Why does not Apple make a repository with applications for ios 4.2.1? or else do not work in an update to ios 4.3 on iphone 3g?

This has nothing to do with Apple, as Apple does not make the apps.
This is the decision of the app maker.
Contact those app makers and ask them why they do this.

I need to use iMovie, but it says that my Quick Time needs to be updated.. but there are no new updates available

i need to use imovie for a project and i tried to open it but it says i need version 7.6.0 or later, so i went to software updates and there are no updates for my computer.
Any suggestions on what to do?!
thanks,
lauren

It depends on what iPhone you have.
If it's an iPhone 4S or earlier, click here.
If it's an iPhone 5, you need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD, and that requires an Intel Mac with at least 1GB RAM.

I have iWork 09 and OS 10.7.5 but Software Update says there are no updates. Anyone know why?

I have iWork 09 and OS 10.7.5 but Software Update says there are no updates. Anyone know why?

Because you need to get Mavericks and then the current iWork applications from the Mac App Store and not Software Update.

I updated to mozilla firefox 18.0.2. the fox is gone, but there are lots of pop-ups and no way to disable them. i want to TALK to someone, please

Last week i downloaded Filezilla to edit my web page. When i did so, the firefox page looked weird -- there was no fox. The page has a WhiteSmoke icon instead. So i updated to mozilla firefox 18.0.2. The fox is still gone, but there are lots of pop-ups and no way to disable them. i want to TALK to someone, please

Sorry this is really your only support option. The live chat support option was closed down last year.
Maybe attaching some screen shots will help us understand your problem. I am not sure I understand about ''the fox is gone'' & ''he page has a WhiteSmoke icon instead. ''

Hi all i won't update my iPod touch 4 generation to ios 5 but there are win the download end its showing a massage (the network connection timed out)

Okay. I've tried syncing it first, resetting it first, downloading the firmware, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, I've checked my connections and ports and everything, run all kinds of diagnostics, and nothing is working. Every time it says it's backing it up, my iPod resets and then it's back to square one. I'm going to restore it and see if that helps. What a pain in the butt, especially since it wouldn't back it up.... >.<

HT1338 I've run software update and there are several, but everytime I try to install them, I get "there was and error". I'm running system 10.6.8

Tricky. Didn't mean to intrude on Baltwo who is infinitely more knowledgeable than me over matters like this. Just wanted to reassure you over the SUID file.
I would just mention that there have been some updates in iPhoto and I'm just wondering what version you have. I do know that 9.2.3 is the last one I have and I am on 10.6.8 like you. I started on iPhoto 8.
If Baltwo doesn't return you could try another post in the iPhoto columns.

My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion

My wifi network is 802.11n but there are times changing for 802.11g, and have to restart ... after the update for Mountain Lion... Help!!!
Several problems with Mountain Lion, APP STORE (login/logout error), WIFI(802.11n for 802.11g), MAIL (horrible)... Apple, what is happening?

Do a factory reset .. nothing will be deleted from your backups and you will be able to get access to them again.
The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.

This field cannot be updated as there are open sales order lines

When trying to enable Item Attributes then I am getting a message "This field cannot be updated as there are open sales order lines". I cancelled the Sales Order ( which was having only 1 sales order line and that is also cancelled) but still I am getting the same message.
How to overcome this problem.
Khan

Thanks Karthik & Sandeep........
Issue got fixed. There was an open Sales order Line because of that line the issue was coming. After cancelling that SO Line, Users were able to update the Item field.

I would suggest trashing your iMovie Preference file. Complete instrucitons are here.

Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window. I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button. Any solutions?

Since March 2012 my iphoto 11 trash folder says that I have 13,346 photos in the iphoto trash, but there are no thumb nail copies in the viewer window. I can delete additional photos but clicking on the "empty trash" button.
My system trash finally emptied when I discovered "trash it!" is not longer supported by the most recent osx. Then I found an updated version of Onyx that did work with that trash emptying problem.
I have a total of 5,723 photos in my library. A macdevelopers group recently started suggesting a multi library manager for iphoto to overcome some kind of library quota limitations with iphoto as opposed to "more advanced" photo handling, storing and editing programs. If I went to a mult library manager for iphoto would that cure the apparent incongruent data retrieval problem in iphoto 11 regarding 13,346 phantom photos that will not securely delete?
Are there any other possible solutions out there?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
