Ipad showing updates for apps not installed....fix?

i have about 30 apps showing that an update is needed for them. Problem is, about 10 of those updates are for apps not on my iPad anymore. I deleted them days/weeks/months ago. any ideas?
ipad1 running 5.1.1

I've seen other discussions about this and from what I can remember .... Try deleting the Apps in your iTunes library on your computer to remove all traces of the apps - sync your iPad - and then see if the updates go away for the deleted apps.

  • App Store icon show update for apps that i did not install.

    Hi, i seriously jammed with my head, my appstore show that there an update for this angry bird icon, but when i checked, i did not install any angry bird games on my macbook. how do i resolve this?

    It's quite likely that your son is making in-app purchases. Many free or inexpensive games offer additional features - levels, coins, tools, weapons, etc. - that are purchased from within the game, and these purchases can be quite expensive or can add up very quickly. Check your Purchase History for your iTunes Store account; such purchases would be reflected there. If they are, then ask your son about this. There may be no fraud at all.
    To prevent such unauthorized purchases from within an app, set the Restrictions on your son's iPhone to turn off In-App purchasing and, I'd recommend, to  the "immediate" setting for requiring a password for purchasing.
    Regards.

  • Update unavailable for this app for app not installed

    I have a machine on which I keep seeing Angry Bird update
    I never installed it. Or if someone in my family installed it without my knowledge then it is a different case altogether.
    But at the moment it is not installed but I keep getting update of that. And when I click update it says Update Unavailable for this app
    How can I remove this Update Message altogether from my App Store

    Click here and ask Apple for assistance.

  • Updates for apps not working

    ive got an iPhone 4s. Tons of apps installed
    Yesterday I had an update for an app. A red 1 appearing on the App Store icon. Went to update the app and instead it opened the app instead of updating it !
    Now I've got 3 updates. I go to update the app and same thing. Friends on a forum I post on are having the same issue
    How come I can't update my apps ??  Never had this before.

    I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems.  I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
    I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well.  I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
    I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix.  I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
    So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account.  I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
    Any thoughts?

  • Updates for apps not updating

    I Have notifications that updates are available for apps on my IPad but when I open the apps update and click on update it opens the app and doesn't update the app. Previously when I did this, once I clicked on update it updates the apps automatically. Any suggestions?

    I have found that a Rebbot has helped some people To Reboo press & hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo you will not lose any data But you may need to do this more than once If this fails connect to iTunes on PCs make pc is running the latest iTunes software.

  • Ipad showed update for "Big Oven" which I started and it is stuck on downloading - help please as I cant use ITunes

    Several users seem to have this problem and I am really stuck

    Isn't that an app? You don't download apps in iTunes. Maybe you have a stalled song or TV show in iTunes that is causing the download of Big Oven to stall.
    Try tapping on the icon to pause the download and then tap the icon again to resume the download.
    Then try rebooting the iPad if that doesn't work.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Kitkat update Calendar app not installed

    Got upgraded to Kitkat 4.4.2 today. Clicking on my Calendar app gives message "App isn't installed".
    Calendar app has been installed and working for at least 2 years, no problem.
    Verizon "Tech Support" advised me that this is a know issue and that Motorola is "working on the problem".
    Also that I should download another calendar app and re-enter all my data. (removed)
    Anyone else???

    One or two questions.
    Are you the only person with access to your machine?
    Was it new or second hand when you obtained it?
    Have you looked in 'Hidden apps' for it?

    Codebox is a developer tool available from the App Store.    Most items like this can be dragged to the trash to delete unless there's an uninstaller provided by the developer.  This will tell you about the app.

    You may not have downloaded this one but for future information the golden rule is ... never download a program without first learning how to uninstall it.

  • Updates for CS4 not installing

    I have never been able to install updates on CS4. I keep getting an error message "Run this update again". I've tried turning off the firewall, but this makes no difference. I am using Windows 7 on my PC. Help!

    What products? Per se there is no reason why updates should not apply just because of Win 7, but just like today in Cs6, back then there already were conflicts where product A had been updated but this prevented product B from running any updates. Manually downloading might be a start, but there's a chance you may have to reinstall from scratch and start over after running the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool

  • Why can't I download Photoshop CC(2014) and why does my Creative cloud app show updates for CC(2014) products I do not have?

    Why can't I download Photoshop CC(2014) to my Mac Pro desktop running OSX 10.9.3.  My Creative Cloud app shows updates for all apps that I have as CS6 on my desktop but I have only subscribed to Photoshop CC.  Lightroom shows Install but it is installed.  Trying to Install Photoshop CC(2014) results in and error message "Installation failed Errors encountered during installation.(7) more information.
    More information gives Exit Code: 7
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting.  For Example, ERROR:
    - 0 fatal error)s), 0 error(s)
    I also cannot directly download from my account on the web.  This has been going on for a week or more and I have tried numerous suggestions on the forums but got nowhere.  I uninstalled Creative Cloud app today but could not find the installer again so I assume that was deleted.  I cannot download that now as on Adobe's site it says we are experiencing problems.  Aren't we all.
    I was happy with CC until last week but now cannot recommend it.
    I also have a Macbook Pro retina and Photoshop CC(2014) downloaded no problem on that.

  • CC showing updates for CC apps that are NOT part of my subscription

    Ok,
    Aside from the massive annoyance with the duplicate versions (why didn't they just include both plugin system for a couple of versions?), I've got "updates" for apps that are NOT part of my CC subscription showing up.  I have a full suite of CS6 installed, but only the Photographers bundle for CC.  Yet I'm showing Illustrator and InDesign CC (2014) as available.  It also shows TWO lightroom 5's - one up to date, and one that needs an update.
    What gives?

    That still doesn't explain why I'm seeing two different lightroom installations in the CC list - one up to date, and one that's available.  I've previously installed/updated Lightroom through CC by the way.  But when I do run Lightroom it also prompts me to upgrade (which I haven't done either).  Something looks badly broken in the LR update process.
    And it doesn't address the available updates for applications (InDesign and Illustrator CS6) that aren't part of my CC subscription.  Since I'm now at the mercy of the CC licensing servers, I'm rather hesitant to risk corrupting my entitlements by doing anything until I understand why my entitlements are incorrect.
    Can you help me understand why they are incorrect?

  • HT4623 Ipad mini shows 2 updates for apps but none show in the app

    Hi.  the title really says it all.  My Ipad mini shows updates for 2 apps but none appear in Appstore Update.  Have tried a reset, turning off the Appstore app and then restarting but no joy.  Any suggesitons appreciated.
    Just saw where this is a common issue that has not yet been addressed by Apple.  Thanks.

  • For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status.  I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

    For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together.  Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail.  Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • ITunes doesn't show updates for those Apps synchronized from iPhone

    For example, if I download 3 apps through itunes, then download and install 2 apps on my iphone. After synchronizing the PC and iphone, both of them have 5 apps. Once all of them have updates available, the app store on my iphone can show 5 updates, but iTunes only shows 3 updates, it doesn't show updates for the other two apps. Is it a setting issue? please help me if anyone has answer. Thank you.
