Library Apps are all Updated but iTunes says Updates Available

Apple could you please fix this bug? It is very very annoying and keeps coming back.
Sometimes updates on a certain iPhone or iPad get into iTunes and aren't able to update but are able to show as needing an update and there is no way to see which App is causing it.
I have 4 GB of apps in iTunes and the only workaround I know of is below but it really stinks for that many apps and it seems to happen every month or two...
1) Copy all the .ipa files in iTunes\Mobile Applications to a temporary folder.
2) Select all apps in my iTunes Library and then delete them
3) Close iTunes
4) Make sure iTunes\Mobile Applications is really all deleted
4) Open iTunes and make sure no Apps show up there either
5) Drag all the .ipa files from the temporary folder into iTunes and wait from them to install 1 by 1
6) When a warning dialog pops up saying "There is a more recent version of this.ipa that you are trying to add should i use that instead?" I have to manually click the [Yes] button (seriously why are you asking me this question?)
If you can tell which ipa is out of date while adding them then why can't you loop through them and highlight them or something so I can see which app is saying it is out of date while not being able to update at the same time.
Better yet since you are Apple give me a check box that says Automatically update all free Apps so I don't have to manage this in the first place. I have zero reason to not have the latest updates for all my Apps all the time so please just take care of it and stop asking if I want the latest and greatest. It is such a silly question. Apple is better than that.
Thanks

You should be able to see which apps need updating by using the Check for updates tool in iTunes (bottom right of the Apps window) or using the Apps Store app on the device and looking at the Updates tab.
New users can't report posts, and nobody can report their own. I can report your post for removal at your request if you insist, but the general idea is that your question, and any responses it gets, may help the next person who comes along with the same problem.
BTW Sometimes updates remove features or add unwanted ones. It is rare, but there may be occasions when you want to keep an older version of an app.

If your phone is jailbroken, we can't help you, as already stated.
If you're new to this and you're trying to download apps to put on your phone and it is NOT jailbroken, you can't do that.
You must go through the iTunes app store.

HT1848 I don't know if you all realize but iTunes has been updated more than five times so can you please update your information on how to transfer apps form a IOS device to iTunes please

Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. Most of the people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.
As to your comment, I don't know what it is you're referring to, but if you believe a support article is incorrect, you can tell Apple about it here:

Never mind, got it to work. I stumbled around on Google for a while and somehow ended up reading things from the 'jailbroken' community. They had easy instructions to get out of Recovery mode. Thanks anyway though!
P.S. For anyone who experiences this, here is the fix: Hold Power and Home in unison for 6 seconds, then power on as normal.

My ipod touch is disabled and it says to connect to itunes but itunes says it can't sync since it is locked. How can I unlock it and get all my data back? (apps, profiles, gaming levels.)

Hi,
Take it to you nearest Apple Store and see what they have to say. You should back up you data before you go in but in your case you can not.

HT202879 I am stumped - trying to open a recent Pages file but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages. My software updates show that there are no updates available. I recently updated Pages but it is not consistent.

I am stumped - I am trying to open a recent Pages file (created with a newer software that I thought was correctly installed recently) but error message says that I need a "newer version" of Pages. My software updates show that there are no updates available. Pages 09 version 4.3 shows as my current version.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

App Store shows update available but will not display the update or tell me that there are no updates...

There is a badge with the number 1 on my "App Store" icon, but when I go to see what needs to be updated, the App Store does not display the app that has an update nor does it say that there are no updates available. Basically the place that tells me these things, is completely blank. I have the word "Updates" at the top of the screen and I can see an icon on the bottom right corner area that has the cirlce with a down arrow and the word "Updates" with a badge with the number 1 in it.
The iPad 2 has 6.1.2 for the iOS. I have already closed the app out completely by closing the app in the multitasking section and then restarting it. This does not correct the issue. I have also restarted the iPad 2, however this did not correct the issue either.
If anyone has seen this and knows it is a glitch in the software, and that Apple is aware of it, please let me know. If anyone knows how to correct this, please let me know. Thanks.

The update server is down; try this temporary workaround
App Store>Purchased>Select "All"
Note: Look out for apps that have the word "Update"

Hi. My kids are all on my itunes account. As a result they also ge my text messages. I would like to set up their own accounts but be able to transfer the songs and apps they purchased. Can this be done?

You can still share an iTunes account for purchasing and downloading content. Just create a new Apple ID for iCloud to use for Messaging. If you try to create a new Apple ID for music and content, everything on their phone is tied to the Apple ID used for purchases, and would then require the password for that Apple ID to update. The way I described is easier.

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first update the application; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. I have not renamed or moved iPhoto which was preinstalled. How to solve?

When I try opening iPhoto on my iMac (OSX 10.9.2) it says I must first download the update; when I try doing so from the App store, it says there are no updates available. Stuck in a classis Catch-22 - any ideas how I might solve the problem?

Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that. If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar. Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it. If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

HT1386 I cannot get apps I purchased now sitting on my pc onto my iphone. They were there before I upgraded to 6.0.1. I backed them up on my pc and I can see the apps are all there. But after syncing they still don't appear on my phone.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I was able to see app updates in my appstore but now there are no updates available suddenly what is the reason?

Hello, I have the same problem but 2 days ago I switched from an iPhone 4 to a 5 so I don't know if is a general issue or related from my iPhone upgrade.
I know I have some apps to update but EVERYWHERE (iPad store, iPhone and iMac) it says "no app updates available".
Please reply me if you got any fix!

HT1751 This was extremely helpful, however, all the songs I had unchecked in my library are now checked on on my new MacBook. My playlists are all there, but I do I really need to uncheck the ~3,000 - 4,000 songs I had previously unchecked?

All the songs I had unchecked in my library are now checked on on my new MacBook. My playlists are all there, but I do I really need to uncheck the ~3,000 - 4,000 songs I had previously unchecked?
My original library exists on my old computer, so I could still transfer it. Any suggestions are welcome and appreciated - thank you!

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

I just bought a $25 Gift Card and used 15 dollars of it. But iTunes saying I used all of it? How do I get the rest of my money back?

Check the account area of the iTunes Store window on the right to check the balance. You must use the credit remaining, no refunds.

Try:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
Also, are you sure you authorized the right account? Could some media be purchased with another account?
