IOS 8.1.2 app update badge

I just resurrected an old thread, but I wanted to start a new thread here.
The Update badge counter on the App store app will not go away after the apps have been updated.
More specifically, I am updating apps via cable sync from desktop Itunes. The apps are updated on the devices via the cable sync, but the counter stays there. After the cable update, when I open app store app on device, the apps needing update will first show Update next to them, then quickly change to Open, but the counter remains.
Iphone 6, iOS 8.1.2
Ipad 2 iOS 8.1.2
Iphone 5 iOS 8.1.2
I called Apple service (my iPhone 6 is still under warranty), they had no clue what was happening. All they did was told me to call them back another day and gave me a case ID.
I have rebooted devices and restored them both as new and from backup. When the restore is done, the counter goes away, but then when a new app needs updating, it happens again.
Anyobody having this issue recently and fixed it? It's very annoying.

I have the same problem but not from beginning, seems like it happened after I restore many time after I found the sync problem.

App update badge always locks up

Everytime an app update badge pops up on my screen it locks up. When I scroll my mouse over the badge it shows the rainbow pinwheel. I can clear this be restarting my computer but why does it lock up everytime and is there a way to fix this?

Hmm. I just bought a MBP Retina 2.7 from apple.com, and am having a very similar experience. The app store tells me I have Angry Birds installed and need to download the update. I don't have Angry Birds installed on my MBP... but I do have it on my iPhone (which, I believe, is different, as it's a different OS altogether). When I log in to update it, it has [email protected] as my login (whom I figure is the original owner of this update), which is definitely NOT my login! And my MBP came SEALED in a BOX, all wrapped up, new. So I wonder what gives? I have tried to locate the app store preferences, so I can trash them, but they are nowhere to be found, that is, if they're still called
com.apple.appstore.plist or com.apple.storeagent.pllist under Mountain Lion...
I have logged into my Apple account and everthing is correct, so I'm not sure what's going on here. I've tried signing out of the App store, and it crashes every time and signing back in with my name and PW can get me back in, but I have that ghostly update hanging there, that I never ordered, which of course won't work because I don't have the correct password for the Russian e-mail address. Very weird. How can I delete the update file?
The next step, I suppose, is an option-restart and disk utilities check, then maybe a reinstall of Mt.Lion. Ugh.

Itunes shows app updates badge but no updates are available

My iPhone 5's itunes shows app updates badge but no updates are available

I started having the exact same issue as of last night. Tried everything I could think of but nothing worked. Have opened a support case with Apple.
I suspect there may be a problem on Apple's end with their App Store update server.
Stay tuned.

IOS 4.3 & Oversized App Updates

With iOS 4.2.1 and previous, when an app update was 20MB or larger, it wouldn't even prompt you for your user id/password. Since updating to iOS 4.3, it now prompts, and tries to download. Once it realizes that it's larger than 20MB, it changes the status of the app to "loading", making the app unavailable for use until getting on a wireless and updating it.
Any ideas why this is occurring?

After upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 apps updates fail

AAfter upgrading my iPad 2 with iOS 8.0.2, several of my apps will not update. Namely, Speedtest.net, Flipboard, Formula 1 and Google. The updates just stall and their downloads won't complete. They worked before the installation of iOS 8.0.2. Now theif icons simply say "Waiting" and won't function at all. Good strong wifi and rebooting iPad have not fixed this. Any ideas? Thanks.

Have you tried updating them one at a time? If that doesn't work, then update them in iTunes on the computer you sync with, delete the apps from your device, and then sync the updated ones to it via iTunes.
Cheers,

The red app update badge will not go away.

I have installed all updates. When the app is open, no badge appears. When it's closed, the number one shows on the app in the dock. How do I get it to go away. Thanks.

Please update your Mac OS X version. The MAS will not run on a Mac with less than 10.6.6, so you ASC profile is very out of date.
That is a bug in the MAS. Hopefully it will get fixed in the MAS that comes with Lion. Look at the linked threads to the right under More Like This and you can get some ideas of what others have tried to get rid of the issue. Some work for some folks, some do not.

Me too. I've been an Apple fan for a long time but things are starting to get painful. I hate telling people not to upgrade but I can't honestly recommend otherwise.
A bad thing is that these problems are not predictable. I have an iPad Mini - no retina that I got for free for opening a new bank account. I am a developer so I have run it on iOS 8 for some time. Even the released version has annoying bugs that weren't there on iOS 7. While the performance isn't great, it is useable. But a retina would have higher requirements and perhaps iOS 8 makes your machine too slow.
Do try all of the resetting and troubleshooting techniques. They may help.

Ios 8 app store updates badge icon not resetting

my iphone 6 is showing on the app store badge icon there are 7 updates available. Opening the app and going to updates, they all appear as OPEN.
I cannot get rid of the icon without resorting to disabling it via notifications under settings.
I updated to ios 8.02 and it still appears. Also tried the trick of tapping a TAB 10 times to refresh the app but the update count reappears soon after.
Have tried to discover any other solution but none available. Dont know if this has been reported to Apple as a bug.

Hello … firstly I am not technology minded & don't know the jargon … just gone from iPhone 3 to 6 !!
Solved this problem by: Settings icon, choose iTunes & App Store turn off all selections for automatic updates
Turn phone off & on.
Then reactivated the automatic update selections.
Problem was solved.
Hope I explained process clearly enough.

App Store badge count shows the wrong number in iOS 8.0.2

Just updated to iOS 8.0.2 on both my iPhone 5 and iPad Air and the App Store badge app count still shows the number of apps that had updates even though they were updated when syncing with my Mac.
When you launch the App Store it quickly shows "Update" for a number of apps before then showing "Open"
Anyone else got the same issue or know how to fix it?

Had the same problem with upgrading to 8.0.2 and then having app updates occur while syncing with iTunes - although just for the iPhone not iPad - not sure what I did differently if anything. The badge number on the phone was wrong until I got an over-the-air update notification which reset the badge number. I uploaded the app over-the-air and now there is no badge number (I would assume until the next update). Will try a sync again with iTunes to see if it was something new with iTunes - or just an odd combination of updating to 8.0.2 in conjunction with app updates.

Software Update option is only available if you have IOS 5 or above.

HP ePrint iOS app no longer finds Photosmart C4780 after app update

I have an HP Photosmart C4780 connected through WiFi to my network but sadly it's not supported by AirPrint on iDevices.
So, I was using HP ePrint Home & Biz iOS app (version 4.1) which was very useful for me as it found the printer and allowed me to print from my iPad/iPhone.
Today I updated the app on my iPhone to version 5 (now simply named "HP ePrint" on the App Store) and after the update, the new version doesn't find my Photosmart C4780 anymore. I did the Activation thing on the iPhone, as it was requested to refresh the list of printer on my network in the All tab, but after Refresh no printer is found.
Still I have the old 4.1 on my iPad (and hopefully in my iTunes library) and the printer is located, I assume, through mDSN as it shows the name specified for this setting.
So, question is: Did you dropped support for Photosmart C4780 on 5.0 release of HP ePrint iOS app? If so, why did't you informed this appropriately on the app update text description in the App Store? A message like "some printers may not be supported anymore" would have been helpul.
If HP ePrint should find Photosmart C4700 series printers and this is an issue, how should we proceed from here?
Thanks.

WilliamBPS,
I was not informed that support was removed from the app for certain printers. It may have been lost in the transition to the new updated app. I will deffinitly pass this information along as it is very important that the app supports as many printers as it can. I'll go ahead and take note of your printer model. If I find anything out about this, I'll try to give you an update in this thread.

App update available from iTunes, but not from iOS ?

Found earlier today that one app had an update available on iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) ... while it wasn't available from the app store on my iPhone. The iOS app Store kept showing the old version of that app as the latest. Had to sync the iPhone with iTunes to transfer the update. How can that happen? ... and no my App Store app on iOS is not completely broken, as it keeps giving me updates for all other apps ... so far. Meaning that my Apple ID isn't a problem either.

On the iPod open the App Store app > Updates > Purchased then redownload. If nothoing shows make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID that the purchase was made with:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state.

I am having trouble with app updates on my iOS 5 iPhone never getting beyond the "waiting" state. I have tried signing out/in of my account, rebooting and removing/re-installing the apps. This started shortly after going to iOS 5 but I am not certain if that is related. All updates that I try now are stuck in "waiting". I also tried removing the apps and then installing via iTunes desktop sync with no improvement. The only thing that I have not tried so far is a restore to a prior iPhone backup. I have not been able to find anything to indciate what the updates on waiting on. There is plenty of space on the iPhone (16gb available). Any suggestions on what to try next?

Hello there, Missy.
First thing I would recommend is to check your downloads queue to make sure there is not an interrupted download per the following Knowledge Base article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If your download was interrupted using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
1. From the Home screen, tap the iTunes app.
2. For iPhone or iPod touch, tap More > Downloads. For iPad, tap Downloads.
3. Enter your account name and password if prompted.
4. Tap the blue download arrow to resume.
If you can't complete the download on your iOS device, you can download it in iTunes on your Mac or PC and then sync it to your iOS device. You can also transfer purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer.
For Apps, you can also try tapping on the application icon to resume the download, as outline in this featured discussion:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

If you didn’t erase the drive and install using you AppleID, then the OS and the purchased apps are still registered to the other AppleID. You cannot change that by logging into iCloud. Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to purchase/download them.
You have to erase the drive and download/install the Apps using your AppleID.
