ITunes - App Store - There are updates available that ain't available?

First of all, I'm starting to think that the iPhone ***** big time, but that's a whole other story...
So, here's my issue: Apparently there are updates to my applications available. So says iTunes and also the App Store app on the iPhone, both of them reporting the same number of apps available.
I'm quite sure that there was a button to "update all" on the iPhone on 2.0.1 and 2.0, but that seems to be missing? (but not the point anyway)
Then, in iTunes, the applications view tells me that there are updates available. When I click that link on the lower right that usually redirects to the update page, iTunes tells me that there are no updates available for my account?!
How can that be? Either there are or there ain't.
Is there a way to fix that problem? I would have updated the applications trough the iPhone, but as there are many (44) and I would have do update them one-by-one, I'd like to go an easier way...
I'm really patient, but I start to hate my iPhone. As it is now, it is just a ******* expensive piece of junk. :-((

I have fixed a similar issue in my iTunes. Here is my thoughts on why it happened and the fix.
I had recently added a second computer w/ iTunes with which my iPhone is now synching. I wanted to move my music library synching from work to home.
On the 1st PC (@ Work) I was synching:
Info, Contacts
Info, Calendar
Ringtones
Music
Podcasts
Video
Applications
On the 2nd PC (@ Home) I began synching:
Ringtones
Music
Video
Applications (this nicely caused all of my iPhone Applications to be copied to this PC, in case of a need for a restore from home)
After beginning synching on the 2nd PC (@ Home), I disabled synching on 1st PC of:
Ringtones
Music
Video
Applications (This apparently caused the issue)
The issue with phantom updates was showing up on the 1st PC (@ Work), but I was not synching Applications here. Apparently, I had updated some Applications from the 2nd PC (@ Home) and iTunes detected this and saw a need to show that my iTunes Applications needed updating. Something not in synch between iPhone - iTunes - App Store I believe.
The Fix:
On the 1st PC (@ Work) I enabled synching of Applications and then performed a synch. The phantom updates went away. I noted during the synch that my iPhone apparently updated some of the applications in my iTunes library.
I hope this helps or enlightens others having this difficulty.

  • App Store icon shows updates available, but all apps up to date

    Just bought Iphone 5c, second day, App store icon shows updates available, but PC, store and other Iphones show none.  Tried resetting, updates to ios 8.02, synching, going through each app individually to see if there is an update, no luck.
    Wnen I reset, the icon shows a badge with 7 updates available.  I opened App Store, bottom right (update icon) showed the same.  Tapped it, the update screen appears (as normal), and the 7 on the update icon disappeared, screen says UPDATES All apps are up to date.  However, on the home screen, the App store badge still shows 7 updates.
    Anyone else having the same prob?  What is the fix?

    Tried that, tries a soft reset, and a hard reset, no luck.  Funny thing is, my other iphones and IPad work fine, its just the Iphone 5.

    I have been having the same issue for the last two weeks. No real indication as to why it ever began other than I had turned off my router and Airport Extreme Base Station off for a weekend while I was away from my place.
    iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, all have no issues at all with my Airport Extreme Base Station. Can stay connected throughout my living room, bathroom, bedroom, no issues whatsoever.
    My 5 month old MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Core i7 Airport is sometimes perfect, able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue. Then, for no reason, I won't be able to join my wireless network, or when I can join, I can't pick up an IP address. And then it will connect, pick up and IP, and then it won't browse. No real rhyme or reason to when this will happen, or when it works.
    I thought that it was an issue with my MacBook Pro, but then my sister visited with her brand new MacBook Pro 2.26 Intel Core 2 Duo, and while a month ago she was able to connect, DHCP, and browse without issue, this weekend she had all of the same issues I was having.
    My XBOX 360 and MacBook Pro have absolutely no issues with the wired connection. Only my WAN seems to have this issue.
    Did you ever find anything more to this?

  • TS3297 When I download an app from the iTunes Store there are security questions that i don't know. Is there anyway to reset them?

    When I try to download a app from my new iPad and my iPhone 5 there are security questions that I may of forgot. But it works perfectly on my iPod . Is there any way to change the security passwords back to something I know ?

    It seems to me this is craxy - I can play personal videos and put my pics up on the TV via wireless - but not things I bought through itunes.  I guess I ahve to ask myself w hy I would want to keep buying things through itunes if I want to watch them on my TV>  If I buy thorugh Amazon prime or netflix, I can watch in either place.  SUrely Apple isn't that shortsighted?

  • App Store has badge showing 8 Updates available but when I open the App Store, there are none showing under the Updates tab

    My App Store Icon has a Badge showing that there are 8 Updates available.  When I open up the App Store and go to Updates, the screen is blank.  This is the first time I've experienced this and I don't find any other discussions in the Apple Communities.  This is only happening on my iPad 4.  My iPhone 5 is working perfectly. 

    It seems Apple is having some issues at their end. There have been hundreds of posts on the forum with the same problem.

  • Getting error NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 when trying to get updates from the App Store.  Are updates still available for OS below Maverick?

    Started getting this error today (01/14/2014) when trying to download updates from the App Store for my MBAir 11" mid 2013.  Error:  NSURLErrorDomain error -1100
    Are updates still available for OS below Maverick?

    That error may result from connecting to a cellular network via a phone or mobile broadband device. If that's what you're doing, try another network.

  • On my iTunes page it keeps telling me there are updates available but there are not.

    In my iTunes account it tells me i have updates available however when i go to do the updates there is nothing to update. Finding this really annoying and would like to get this fixed. Anyone got any tips?

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Why does my iTunes wallet say there are funds available when I know I already spent it all?

    When I go to the iTunes Store there seems to be money in my iTunes account, but I know I've already spent it all and I haven't added any funds. Why doesn't iTunes update my account and show what actually have available in my account? For weeks, maybe months, it has been at 142SEK!?!?!? What makes the account update? Can I do something to uppdate my iTunes account? Or maybe it's like that just to make me believe I have more than I think to make me spend money I don't have??? I have bought music even though I knew my account didn't have any funds but it still haven't updated my account. I use iTunes on Windows 7 now but I'm pretty sure it's the same in iTunes on OSX.
    Ps. While writing this I downloaded this weeks free single and now the wallet was updated. Now it says I don't have any money in my account. Ds.

  • Can't download Mavericks from App Store "you have updates available" error

    I am running Lion which came with my iMac and it's up to date. I wanted to finally upgrade to Mavericks so I started downloading it a few days ago, but cancelled the download because it was taking so long. So today, I went to start it again and now I'm getting the error: "You have updates available for other accounts Sign in to (my account) to update applications for that account." I have no other Apple accounts. I have searched for this error here an all over the web and performed all of the suggestions: repair permissions, Spotlight, you name it, I've tried it. I even had an older Mavericks install file on an external and it just bounced and wouldn't install.
    Any new suggestions?

    OK, I'm answering my own question here in case it will help others.
    I suppose you could call it user stupidity, but I'll say it's bad user experience on the part of the App Store.
    I went ahead and clicked the "Install App" button, hoping I would then have the option to just download but not (reinstall) Mavericks. That is exactly what happens.
    The App Store displays a warning to the effect of:
    You already have Mavericks installed on this machine. Do you want to continue and just download the installer?
    You click the 'Continue' button and you're good to go.
