Can't get app update that was posted to App Store

An app that I bought (Crosswords) was updated and the update appears in the App Store. I have the old version in my Applications page in iTunes, but when I click the "Check for Updates" link, it doesn't find any updates for my applications.
I tried just going to the updated app in the App Store and downloading it. It sees that I already bought it, and lets be download it for free. But... when I do right-click Info on the icon in my Applications page after I download the updated version, it still shows the old version. When I Sync my iPhone, it doesn't update my phone -- so it is definitely still the old version I'm getting from the download.
The same thing happened to me the other day when an update to the Bloomberg finance app was posted to the App Store.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I've been having the same issues with a few of my apps..
i will download the latest app(b/c sometimes checking updates doesn't reveal any updates), then view properties of my newly updated app and the old version no. remains the same!..
also the inconsistency of the app store on the iphone and itunes...
I get the latest update notifications on my iphone..but not in my itunes..
this leaves me with this NEW issue....
if I download the latest apps using my iphone app store, when I go to resync, FOR SOME REASON, even if it says that i am transferring new updates to my itunes, when I go check the version numbers in my applications folder, it reveals the OLD versions again!... therefore, when I resync, the old versions get installed onto my iphone!!!
it has come to my conclusion that if I want the latest and greatest update for any apps, I should do it thru itunes....but do not download the updates directly from the app store, instead, wait until they show up in the "check application updates" dialog of the application section of itunes...but then you suffer the "no updates available" BS, when you know there is an update!!!!
to me this is total crap!!...

    How can I get the cd that was provided when I bought the book bass guitar for dummies from iTunes to play on my ipad.probably someone should provide me with a file or download?thanks

    You need to import the CD into iTunes on your computer and then sync the tracks to your iPad.

  • How can I get App Store to ignore updates?

    I'm sick and tired of being prompted to update to pages 5 which I utterly loathe. I keep trying to control-click the update which used to give the option to skip that update, but now I can't seem to get that menu item. Is there a way to do that now?
    I'm assuming I'm missing something exceedingly obvious that's going to create a "Doh!" moment.
    Thanks!

    Try unchecking all the boxes at System Preferences > App Store.

  • I tried to update to Firefox 3.6.13 yesterday, but the "volume" is still on my desktop although i have the updated 3.6.13, but nowI can't get new update that Firefox won't let me get because I don't have permission, although I do.

    The problem is that I don't now what to do with the blue "volume" and also now I can't get the next update to 3.6.14 because Firefox says I don't have permission to make updates on this computer. But I do! I am the person who uses this computer and there is no "system administrator" to go to and there is no different account from which to do the update. I am 74 years old and this all very hard for me, but shouldn't leave me stranded with no updates.

    I have already tried removing firefox from my firewall. Even when I do that, my firewall doesn't detect firefox and prompt me to add it. And when I manually add it, it still doesn't work anyways. I've already tried the link as well, but it has been unhelpful. :/
    I'm not sure if it matters, but a few weeks before this, I did download Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Many people have upgraded and accidentally created a new account on their Macs.
    So, try logging out of the current user and see if your old user account is available to log in to. If so, log in and make sure everything is ok in that account.

  • Mac Pro...can't get App Store or Facetime

    I have a Mac Pro, running the most recent 10.5.8 software.  I'd like to use Facetime, and was assured by Apple's ads that the Mac App Store and Facetime would be included with the most recent software updates.  The Facetime App is supposed to be in the bridge, after purchase.  But, I can't get my Itunes to let me buy the App....it only seems to know I have an Ipod and Ipad.  Does anyone know how I can get hooked up using Mac Apps, and ultimately Facetime? 

    Maybe MacBook Pros are somehow different?
    To clarify you don't have a laptop/notebook, and you have Snow Leopard.

  • Can not get App Store icon my Ipad front display

    Thanks for your support,
    till i can not find out the App Store icon in my ipad home screen,
    Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable installing apps.
    i check it On,
    if i want to enter then need to enter passcode, but i do not know the passcode.
    please give me a solution.
    then i try by Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
    this ok, but in my ipad no icon for Apps Store.
    awaiting your confirmation reply.

    I don't think you understand. You only needed to check restrictions in case you had been using restrictions. If you we're not using restrictions, then you could not have disabled installing of apps. There is no need to turn it on, IF it was turned on and you were not using it.
    If you were not using restrictions and you reset the home screen layout, and neither of those worked for you, something is wrong. What you are saying doesn't make sense.

  • I can't get App Store to connect!! What should I do..

    Basically, every time I go to search something in the App Store, it will say "cannot connect to App Store". Yes I am well aware that this is typically an internet connection issue but that is not the case because according to my settings I have a strong connection...Any suggestions?

  • Can't get App Store to use my balance not my m/c

    My account shows a balance, but the App store insists on using my m/c and it won't let me delete it either. What do I do to use my existing balance to buy apps?

    If you make a purchase (including any applicable taxes and fees) that exceeds the total cost of an app then your ciredit or debit card is charged for the balance.

  • How can I remove a message that was posted by mistake?

    I was composing a question, and when I switched out of Safari to look at something in the Finder, the incomplete message got posted as a question. I saw an "edit" button, and tried deleting all the content of the message, but now am told "You can not post a blank message. Please type your message and try again." I don't want to post a message; I want to delete it. Anyone know how to do that?

    Thanks for taking the trouble, folks, but I guess that's what I did, in effect. I was hoping there might be a way to remove it entirely (hate to waste the electrons, the Internet being forever and all), but no such luck, I guess.

  • Can't get a song that was purchased.  What do we need to do?

    We purchased our first song from iTunes from a redeemed iTunes Music Card. It did its download, but then gave a message stating the file may be corrupt. Then suggested to run 'Check for Purchases...'. We ran 'Check for Purchases' and waited and waited and waited (over 30 minutes on the last attempt) only to never get a response. What happened? Is there something we should be doing different? We've attempted this many times including from shuttting down the iTunes app and even after rebooting. Same result. Now the song isn't even under the 'Download' icon.
    Can someone help?
    Thanx!

    Check your Purchased Folder (left hand side of iTunes, under the Store Category). If you see the song in the folder than you have downloaded it successfully, no matter what the error message was. If the song isn't there you need to check your Purchase History. You can do this by clicking on iTunes Store (left hand side of iTunes, under the Store Category) Then on the right hand side of the store page is a category called Quick Links. Click on Account and sign in and check to see if the song is in your Purchase History. If it IS there and NOT in your Purchased folder (left hand side of iTunes) than you should e-mail the iTunes store and let them know your situation and what the error message said while downloading. You can e-mail the store by using the e-mail form on this page http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/buy/
    Don't forget to make sure your computer meets System Requirements for having iTunes on your computer ~.~

  • How can i get the history that was deleted or not recorded on the computer

    I want to know how to recover deleted history or activity that had the computer set to never remember the history.

    You can't. If you had a backup of the places.sqlite file from before deleting the browsing history, you could restore that file. As far as "never remember my history", nothing is saved or "recorded".
