IOS 7 App Store showing old updates / showing updates and not letting me install

I noticed two issues with the iOS 7 App Store starting last night.  I'm not sure if it's a temporary issue, since the issue seems to be server-side on Apple's part, or if it's a long-term issue. 
I am running iOS 7.0.2 on an iPhone 5s.  I do not have automatic updates for apps turned on (I like checking what an app is updating before installing it).  I have tried force quitting the App Store app and restarted my iPhone.
The first thing I noticed last night was that the App Store showed an update for Hulu Plus on my iPhone but wouldn't let me install it.  On my iPad (3rd-gen) running iOS 7, it let me install it.  This morning, it let me install it.  After, I noticed another badge on my App Store app icon with a "1", and it said there was an update for 94 Seconds, but wouldn't let me install it either.  Then when I expanded the details, I noticed the date on it was from July 30, 2013.  I already had that update installed over 2 months ago.  Screenshots for that issue are below.
Is anhyone else experiencing anything similar?  Any solutions?

Thanks for the quick response.
I do indeed seem to recall that happening with an app previously. 
However, this time it was two apps (Google and Tivo).  I figured they'd get flushed out when more updates (for other apps) hit the App Store. However, when that happened just now, while it did show "update" for those old updates instead of "open", I could not select "update all" up top and had to press update next to each of the (now 4) apps.  The real issue though is that it (of course) can't further update Google and Tivo and gets stuck.  So I can't update any of my apps now.
When I went back into App Store I then got the blank screen that shows nothing under updates but the "Purchased" slider up top.  I thus had to reboot.  I can get back into the App Store, and got an error regarding the Tivo update not being available (this was a Jan 10 or so update that had already been installed), but there it still sits in the updates.  Interestingly, Google did "update" and fall off the badge indicator.  I selected only my true/new updates, so now I'm just stuck with a false Tivo update/badge.
I should add that I am on 7.0.4.
EDIT: Tivo "updated" after the reboot too.  So, bottom line is that you're (I'm) stuck with the false updates until a real update comes through, and then I have to go through that song and dance to clear out the false flags.

    My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install? You can't delete it so where is it?

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • 8Gb Touch 2nd gen problem. Only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem

    I have an iPod Touch 8GB 2nd gen and it's only showing connect to iTunes screen and not letting me past that as I have a password - Already reset and it just loops back to the same screen with the same problem.
    Any idea what I can do to fix this?

    you can connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode:
    Hold down the Home button and the Power button simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off.
    Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
    After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device
    and restore it to default settings, in order to remove your password (or just remove your password directly from the iPod touch, in order to sync with iTunes)

  • I changed my apple id and now I can't update my apps or download new ones.  I've changed the ID in my iphone settings, but when I go in the apps store my old ID shows up.  If I change my settings back to the old ID my password doesn't work.  HELP!

    So I changed my Apple ID.  Now on my Iphone I can't update things from the apps store or download new stuff.  I went into settings and changed my ID there, but in the apps store it still shows up as my old ID.  The apps store won't let me log on with the new one, as my old still shows up, and if I go back into settings and change it back to the old ID the password I had before no longer works.  This ***** Apple.  You just ruined my Iphone!!!  My phone went from being cool to being junk since I am not unable to download or update apps...the coolest part of my phone.  Someone help???  Please tell me how I can enjoy my phone and apps again...

    Thank you for the response, but I ended up temporarily resetting my Apple ID... It was a pain, but it worked in the end.

  • How can I redeem credit on my account to allow me change my country in APP STORE? I have .82 cents and not enough to buy anything?

    Hi,
    I have moved country and because I have .82 cents in credit on my account it won't let me change country ?  I have tried buying something in the hope that it will use my credit and just take the additional from the CC but that doesn't work.
    Any ideas ?  
    Thanks - KianR ( A frustrated APP STORE USER! )

  • I have 2 iPads and 2 iPhones but I am using a PC for iTunes. I am considedering leaving the PC era of 30 years as a user myself and bye a Mac Air. My PC life has imroved a lot last years thanks to Google. Can I store my old CDs in iCloud and not on Pc/Mac

    Can I choose to only store my old private CDs in iCloud or do I have to still have them in ITunes on my PC or Mac?

    You can store them in the cloud if you sign up for music match, a $25/year service that uploads you music (what it cannot match) to the cloud.

  • App Store says there is one update available. But the Updates page shows a blank screen. Have tried syncing with iTunes on mac

    App Store says there is one update available. But the Updates page shows a blank screen. Have tried syncing with iTunes on mac as well. But nothing seems to work. Am using Iphone 5 6.1.4. Help

    Next time that happens while on WiFi, turn WiFi off in settings, wait about 30 seconds or so, then turn WiFi back on. Sometimes you have to do this two or three times, but this fixes that issue as well.

  • IOS 6.1.2 - "Request Timed Out" - iOS App Store Updates

    Since upgrading my iPhone 5 and iPad mini to iOS 6.1.2, the "Updates" tab of the App Store no longer loads. It shows a blank screen for a long time and sometimes then shows a popup "The request timed out". The badge count over the App Store icon still shows a number, both on the home screen and over the "Updates" tab icon in the App Store.
    I have tried restarting, and on both wifi and cellular. The rest of the App Store appears to work and load normally.
    One or two tweets on this but not much else so thought I'd start a topic. Anyone else got this?

    I have the same problem as the original poster, running an iPad 2 with the latest iOS updates. The proposed solution (the problem seems to have just gone away for some users) does not hold true for me.
    I have closed and re-started the App Store app, to no avail. Also, the rest of the app store is available, just not updates. The app badge shows that nine updates are available, but clicking on the Updates tab always results in a wait of several minutes, and then a message that "The request timed out" with no further information.
    Next I will try re-starting the iPad itself. Since many, many others are having the same issue, I would suspect Apple is aware of the problem, despite the customary lack of acknowledgement.

  • My apple ID is showing someone elses email address and not mine so when i want to buy or update apps it brings this other email address up. please can someone help how do i put it back to my email address?

    my apple ID is showing someone elses email address and not mine so when i want to buy or update apps it brings this other email address up. please can someone help how do i put it back to my email address?

    First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab.  Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
    An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours.  Did you let someone else use your iPhone?

  • Extremely annoying App Update bug in iOS App Store

    Previously when iPhone in 3G mode, iOS App Store will not download any update that's more than 20MB, even when I tapped on the "Update All" button.
    However, starting from iOS 4.3, this is no longer the case. Whenever I tapped on the "Update All" button, iOS App Store will just try to download all () even though some apps are more than 500MB. To make things worse, iOS App Store will prompt me saying the apps I'm trying to update is > 20MB so no update will be downloaded for the apps, but it already marked those apps as "Waiting". There's no way to cancel this other than cold reboot the iPhone.
    This is very annoying when I have several apps to be updated, and one of which is the app that I'm using often. I won't be able to use the app until I can find a Wi-Fi to try to complete the update.
    Please, please, please fix this annoying bug!

    I have this annoying experienced too, my friend have 69 apps waiting for update, when I click update last night, over 30 apps are not usable and I have to wait the download process.  What's worst is that I and my boyfriend uses different account. The update just keep prompting different password - and keep saying its a different store.  annoying. Apple un the upcoming 5.0 should fix this user at once!

  • My iPod keeps quitting the App Store unexpectedly ever since I updated to iOS 6. What do I do?

  • App Store says 8 updates. When I select App Store the button says 8 updates but screen is white (blank)

    App Store says I need 9 updates but the screen is blank (white)

    Fix: At least for me. I tried everything suggested and no luck. I then used four fingers and swiped up to reveal the icon bar or whatever you call it. I then long pressed on any of the icons until the negative sign shows up and I then pressed the negative sign on each and every icon until there were none left. I then pushed the physical button so I was on the main screen again and tried the app store again and selected the updates tab. They then all finally loaded. Click like if this works for you.

  • Mac App Store problem - I have an update for an app that do not exist in my Mac

    Hi, I have an update for an app that I never didn't bought before in my Mac App Store.
    Thats happen before more than a year, I tried everything including updating the app (got an error) and format the Mac but the update for this app didn't remove.
    the problem is maybe in my Apple account so I need your help, is there any way to remove this update?

    You may have installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
              File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
              Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
              Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
              Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.
