ITunes/iPhone App Updates

Has anyone been updating their apps lately? I logged it and it said I had about 12 to update. Then, magically, I clicked on them, and it said there were none to update. Are apps now being updated automatically from the cloud? I haven't synced my phone in about a week, and it said all apps up to date too. I might be mistaken, but has something changed? Anyone else noticed this?
Thanks.

The updates are now available. It must have been a temporary thing. Everything was update as of 3:30 Central Time.
Thanks.

ITunes iPhone Apps Updates

I can not get the store to update apps, is something besides not enough bandwidth at apple going on? I know 2.2 was released not long ago.
Thanks,
Bill

From other threads on the discussion boards there is plenty of people with this so its a definate issue with the app store update servers.
It seems that its timing out due to everyone grabbing the 2.2 firmware.Best advice seems to be try it tomorrow.

Itunes Store App Update dissapears

The Itunes Store App Update dissapears ,
now to update an app we cannot plug the iphone and update the app from the app store like in the past.
we have to update the app directly from the iphone ,
itune is missing a in itunes iphone app updater.

Hey. I solved the problem by erasing everything in my iPhone and setting it as new. However if you don't want to lose everything try erasing all content and settings on the settings. Then restoring it from a backup

Error while downloading iPhone app updates

Yesterday I tried to download two iPhone app updates. The app store showed the two updates that were available, but when I tried to update them, it kept giving me an error message saying that my iTunes store request could not be completed. I am up to date on iPhone, iTunes, and OS X software, so I don't know why it did this. I had no problem downloading the updates directly to my iPhone. Any ideas? I did catch my wife a few weeks ago plugging her iPhone into the Mac while I was logged in (we have separate user accounts on the computer). I immediately ejected it from iTunes and unplugged it. I didn't notice any changes after that, either in my iTunes library or on her iPhone. Did this make any changes that I may not have noticed? Also, this past weekend I purchased some music in my iTunes account and had no problems downloading it and syncing it to my iPod.
Edit: I guess I should have seen the Error 5002 thread. That is what mine is doing. Itunes account set for 1-click. No problem on iPod, just on iPhone apps.

I'm having the same problem. The download finishes and then it says an unknown error occurred. It says it has something to do with my network connection, but I don't think that's the problem.
Did you find a solution yet?
I tried to reinstall iTunes but it didn't work.

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.

How can I tell itunes to install iPhone App updates automatically?

ITunes 12 can download app updates. Right now I have to connect my iPhone, go the installed apps and click on (for each updated app) "update" to change it to "will update" and then click "sync". How can I tell iTunes to automatically update any updated app currently on the iPhone?

I know they need to be converted, but the problem is, 2000 of the 5000 have already been converted. now it's trying to convert them again. but there is no reason for that. i want to know how to convert the other files that weren't converted yet, without having to re-convert the ones that were already done.
I would move the ones that were done to a separate folder, but I don't know exactly what ones were done. In iTunes, they are the first 2000 or so in the list, but on my hard drive they are not in the same order.
Does anyone else know if there's a way to do this?

Apple ID blocked on iPhone app updates, Mastercard no longer recognized

All the sudden my Mastercard (canada) is no longer recognized. I checked with my bank and everything seems to be fine from their side.
Every time I type the security code, it gives me the message that " this card cannot be used with the itunes store".
After several attempts, I gave up and modified my account to payment "None" option.
They don't want my money: ...fine
Now what is more annoying is that I can't update my apps anymore on my iPhone. I get the message "Apple ID blocked". However, I am able to visualize my ID on the iPhone. I modified my password. Nothing helped. I tried another ID I have from having lived for many years in Europe. All the time my Canadian ID pops up on the App update function with the message "Apple ID blocked".
Can anybody help with that? If this continues, I am seriously thinking about legal action as I paid for these apps and now I can't access up-to-date functions for a software which I own. Any ideas if there are some consumer defense organizations out there to help with that.
I am seriously fed up with all the time lost with this problems (3 days spending my time working on this problem now!!!!)

So I purchased Navigon app on my iphone 4 with my iTunes account id then got a new iPhone 4s and signed in with the required Apple ID and now Navigon app does not recognize me as its owner. When I try to restore purchases I make on the app it tells me to buy it first. The problem seems to be it defaults to my Apple ID when I am asked for a password and does not give me the option of using my iTunes account ID and password which is what I used when I purchased the app. HELP?

New iTunes & applying App updates

In the new iTunes, how do you apply app updates as there is no "search for updates" or "update all" buttons anymore? Previously I could decide which updates to apply.
I have 9 app updates needing applied but I dont want to apply them all. I used to apply via computer as some of the updates can take a while

After continuing my search for answer - I eventually found it (I have iphone 5, iTunes 11 and a Windows PC)
1) Start ITunes (version 11 is most recent).
2) Plug you Iphone in so it will find it.
3) When looking at the main ITunes main page... "You can show the sidebar (which was the old way to view ITunes) by pressing Option-Command-S on a Mac or Co ntrol-S on Windows. Alternatively, you can open the View option from the menu bar and select Show sidebar. I just used Ctrl+S - you will now recognise the ols style of ITunes but will still be Version 11
4) Near top of sidebar you will see Apps, and number of updates pending, Click apps - and voila - you will see the old style... and sync as you did before!!! I have no idea why Apple made it so confusing and less user friendly, but they did.

ITunes available app update count is incorrect - off by 1

so for the past couple weeks i've been having this problem with itunes app updates. on the left-hand side of itunes where "apps" is, the number that pops up next to it to show the available updates to be downloaded is off by one. if i click and try to install available updates, i receive the notification that there are no new updates to install for any of my apps, but the number still shows one! totally frustrating.
i googled this and have only found one possible solution found on an older itunes support forum, but i have no idea what it means or how to go about this:
+"I experienced this same issue. An update number in iTunes, yet nothing to update once you click the update link.+
+I also realized that I had duplicates in both iTunes itself and in the Music > iTunes > Mobile Applications Folder. The number of duplicated apps matched my false "update number."+
+So, if an application was duplicated in either iTunes itself or in the Mobile Applications Folder, I made sure that each duplicated app was already synced to the iPhone, then simply removed the duplicated applications from both iTunes and from the Mobile Applications Folder.+
+Then when I did my next sync, I made sure to choose the "transfer" button to have my apps synced back into iTunes. Once this was done, the problem completely disappeared. I hope this helps you!"+
can please someone help me figure this out? and if by all means you have a better/clearer solution, please let me know. very much appreciated! thanks!

I had the same problem despite regularly updating my Apps. Problem was that somewhere during the early days of using iCloud iTunes got me logged in to with my mac.com account, rather than my long running imran.com account. Result, I have 8 apps that got purchased with that mac.com ID.
Even until now Apple has failed to provide a way to merge two AppleIDs.
So, now I have to go through the annoying step of logging out of my main iTunes account, logging in with my mac.com account, downloading the available updates for that, then remember to logout and log back in with my primary account. That brings the app update count available to Zero.
Convoluted situation brought to you by Apple's failure to provide linking or merging AppleIDs. Hope this helps.

ITunes - My App Updates - 5 apps always there although they're updated

The "My App Updates" in iTunes has 5 apps that don't appear to register as updated. They're updated on my iPhone, they appear updated in iTunes, but they're always shown as needing an update. I believe all 5 started the behavior about the same time about a week ago.
Other apps appear to update normally.

I've restarted the phone. Haven't reset and won't restore unless I'm desperate (loose too much info on phone).
Phone itself has the right app versions and is operating correctly.
iOS 4.2

IPhone apps update?

When I open the new iTunes on my Mac I can no longer find where to update my iPhone Apps.
I know I can do it on the iPhone itself through the App store
but can you not update through iTunes on the computer any more?

In the phone user guide it says that the phone checks weekly for updates to installed apps. Is there any way to know when it does this or to manually make it do this other than going into the app store and clicking "updates"?

Yes and No. In iTunes, highlight the Applications section under Library. In the lower right is a "Check for updates" button. (Note: If there is a number behind the Applications under Library, that is the number of updates available. In that case, the button in the lower right will change to show the number of updates available). However, when you click either button, the Apps Store is contacted so you can download any updates.

IPhone App updates not there

My iPhone keeps lighting up the app icon saying I have app's to update. (4-5 times a day) When I go to update screen, all app's are up to date. Went to my iTunes page on PC and everything is OK. Already did soft re-boot of phone. Any ideas. This is a pain in the ***!

I Sync (ed) twice last night at home on the PC. When I just went to the "Price Check by Amazon" app updates, it asked if I wanted to download an older version of the app that will work with my phone. I said yes, and for now the problem has gone away. I'll re-sync when I get home.
Thanks,

HT1766 Forced to bring PC laptop back to factory condition. Reloaded Itunes, Iphone app image on ITunes is faded, unable to manipulate. Right clicking the device & clicking on backup doesn't let me manipulate my data. How do I fix?

Prior to the need to strip my laptop, my Itunes/Iphone backup and synch happened with ease. On the reinstall of Itunes, and the provision of my ID and password, I find that I can see a faded (greyed out) version of my apps, but I can't move them within Itunes, which I usually do to pop them in category folders. The songs and ring tones on the Iphone do not show in Itunes either. Any suggestions?
The phone functions fine by itself.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPhone. Only if you back up your device manually before syncing, you can restore it from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Here's what to do:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPhone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your iPhone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
