MAS - Shows update available but no app to update?

Since I upgraded to 10.7.3, when I click on UPDATES in the MAS application, there will be a badge there that shows I have an update to install but no applicatons listed. However, if I click on PURCHASED apps, I will see an update indication and can update at that point.
On another note, a while back the badge that previously appeared in the dock and in the app showing how many updates were available appeared as it should, but now I have to click on updates for the badge to appear at all. This was happening even before the issue that just appeared last night after upgrading to 10.7.3.
Any ideas? Is there a preference file to trash or something?
THANKS.

Robb....
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Now go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore. Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
If that didn't help, install the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo)
Make sure and restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
It's ok to do this even though you just updated to v10.7.3.

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.

My iphone shows an iOS 7.1.2 update available but here is no update button on the screen

My iphone 4S says that the iOS 7.1.2 is available however there here is no update now button on the screen. I would welcome some advice.
Thank you

If you are currently on an iOS below 5.0, then you have to hook it up to iTunes on the computer you sync with to do the update.
If you are on iOS 5 or higher, check your restrictions to make sure that you do not have them turned on for installing apps.
Cheers,

@ytheekshana
Since the update is just being rolled out, you will need to use PCC or Bridge for Mac, this is based on other updates on other phones, there isn't an specific date as to when it'll be released OTA.

Apps menu shows 5 updates available, but when I go to download them it says none are available

apps menu shows 5 updates available, but when I go to download them it says none are available. How do I remove that number?

Get some apps from someone else, perhaps? You can check by doing a "Get Info" on your apps; that will show the account under which they were purchased.
Oh, and just to clarify so I'm not barking up the wrong tree, what exactly is iTunes saying? Is it showing the number in the icon indicating that there are five apps to be updated but showing the screen that says "No updates are currently available"? Or is it giving an error message somethign like "the item you requested is not available in the iTunes Store"?

Sidebar show 19 App Updates Available, but cannot download

I have had my Ipod 16GB touch for 2 years. I recently downloaded some new apps and sync'ed my Ipod and went on vacation. Once on the plane, I noticed that none of my new Apps were on the Ipod and many of my old apps were gone from the Ipod. When I got back home, I went to sign in to Itunes, and my account had been deleted. I couldn't recover my password or anything as it said my user ID did not exist. I re-entered all the information, and I can now download new stuff, but in the sidebar, it says there are 19 updates available, but when I drill in, it says there are no updates available. When I click on "Cathy's Ipod" and go to the applications tab, there are many Apps not click for syncing, when I try to click them and re-sync, it briefly pops up that it is syncing the App, but does not complete, and when the total sync is complete, the box goes unchecked again. I am at a loss here. I am afraid to reformat the Ipod as I had to create my account again and afraid I will lose all my Apps I have paid for.

I DID do a password change a little while back, but I would not think that should create a problem.
That's most likely your problem, as apps are DRM protected & tied to the account that was originally used to purchase them for all updates or to re-download them should that need ever arise. Contact itunes support to straighten this out:

IPads (3) show updates available but none show up in the screen

all of my iPhone (2) have the updates, my iPads (3) show updates available but none show up in the screen. I've restored all of them even going so far as to remove them from iCloud for iTunes and then putting them back on.

IT's a glitch on Apple's server. You can either wait it out or if you want to update your apps, go to the App store and the purchased tab and scroll through your apps. The ones with updates will have banners on them and you can update them that way.

I deleted all Apps on iPad as they were associated with an out of date Apple ID and I could not update them, but the "App Store" logo still shows that there are 2 to be updated and when I go there I cannot delete. Please assist. Thanks.

Why don't you explain what happens when you try to delete these two apps that are showing that they need updates. You can only delete them if they are actually installEd on the iPad. Are they on the device?

Purchased tab shows 1 update available but can't update it.

Purchased tab shows 1 update available, but I can't find what book. I keep getting popup that it can't download the update. Why did the updates tab disappear in ios8?
FIrst it showed 2 updates, but I kept getting a popup that it couldn't download the update. So I had to search in my list of books which books had updates. I just deleted all the books that had an update message. It kept showing 2 updates available, until I deleted every book I could find that had an update. But now it keeps showing a 1, and I can't find the corresponding book, and I keep getting a popup that it can't download it, even when ibooks is closed.
WHy did they delete the updates tab?

What is the exact message you're getting? I guarantee it's not "the iPhone needs iTunes".

Try this:
1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it?

I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it? I can't right click, i cant do anything to get rid of it.

Nope that's not it, I always use that particular ID, but the @me.com portion of the Apple ID is missing when trying to download from the App Store on the Phone.
It is grayed out inside the App Store app so I can't change it there and I already changed it in the settings.
The entire Apple ID is fine in the Settings so I don't get why the App Store ID is different and missing information.

HT1338 My Numbers update shows 2.3 but the app store says I was updated to3.1?

My Numbers update shows 2.3 but the app store says I was updated to 3.1?

You should have both versions. After the update, the old versions are moved to an iWork '09 folder in the Applications folder.
The new versions are completely rewritten and are missing some features. I imagine that is why the kept the old versions arround. It is much like iMovie, Final Cut X, etc.
They have been slowly adding features as they go.

I keep getting notified I have an update available but when I try to update I get the following msg ,"You have updates available for other accounts". I only have one account with apple and purchased the software when I got my macbook in Aug 2012.

I keep getting notified I have an update available but when I try to update I get the following msg ,"You have updates available for other accounts To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.". I only have one account with apple and the software was preinstalled when I purchased my macbook in Aug 2012 with that account. Has anyone had this problem or know how to find out what account apple needs?

You log into the App store using the same Apple ID you used to set the computer up, verify that none of your apps are hidden and that they have all be accepted and then download and install the update

To my knowledge the apple ID you registered your new mac to received all the included apps. Try using that apple ID and see if it works.
