Looks like updates via the App. store update option is not working again. Comments?

There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them.

Where and how to delete OS X Mavericks from app store update?

I recently tried to update from 10.8.5 to 10.9.5, then when i left it to download, but i forgot to plug it in, so my mac just shutdown. so i plug it in and i resume my download, and when it was finished it did not start installing, and i need to download the 5Gig file again. and i look at my storage space i lost 5Gig but i don't know where to delete the stuck or corrupted mavericks update file.
So my question is where do i find this file so i free some storage space? thanks

The file should be in your Applications folder.
If it is named OS X Mavericks, then it hasn't finished downloading.
If it is named Install OS X Mavericks, then it is ready to go. Just double-click to start the install. However, you may want to copy it to an external so you don't have to download it again.

After updating to Mavericks the apps store gives me the message "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled." How do I still update my apps??

What happened was you never accepted these apps into your Mac App Store account.
Drag & drop the apps in the Trash and use OS X Recovery to install them again. after installing the apps be sure to accept them into your account this time from the Purchases pane of the Mac App Store.

Since I uploaded the new OS X Mavericks the App Store, Messages, Notes, Calendar, Maps and Preview will not launch/open. In Finder cannot find my files. Most crucially cannot upgrade OS X Mavericks software. I had two apple ID's, the old one not used

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

After instaling mavericks terminal, preview, app store, etc, doesn't work anymore

after instaling mavericks the terminal, preview, app store, etc, doesn't work anymore...
What have to do to solve this problem?

You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software, if you know what it is, according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.

"Use the purchases page to try again" App store update error in Mavericks

When Mavericks came out, I did a clean install of the OS. The first thing I did upon logging in, was reverting iTunes back to 10.7 before I opened it so it wouldn't update my iTunes library files and make them incompatible with any version lower than 11 (I went backt to 10.7 some time ago).
However, this seems to cause a problem with the App store - specfically updating apps. Whenever I try to update anything, I get this error message:
After going to the purchases page, it then looks like this:
And so after trying to update it from the purchaes page, I still get this error message:
The only work around I have found to work is to update itunes to version 11, update the apps, then downgrade back to 10.7 again. This is a hastle so I'm wondering if there is an easier way. Obviously the app store in Mavericks needs iTunes 11 installed for it to work correctly - so I was thinking, was there a way to trick OSX into thinking that I have iTunes 11 installed when I actually have 10.7? I'm assuming there must be a file somewhere included in the version 11 install that the app store looks for to work with?
Any advice/help would be appreciated!

Ok, time to troubleshoot then.
Quit the Mac App Store
Run the terminal app in your Utilities folder
Copy & Paste this command exactly and hit return:
open $TMPDIR../C/
In the Finder window that appears, place the com.apple.appstore folder into the trash.
Restart the Mac App Store and see if things work now.

Now what to do help me please

iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone. You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone. You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account. iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac. When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account. You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar. If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

App Store Update on Mavericks Creating Problems

Mavericks is causing more than a single headache for me. In addition to my rMBP15 not shutting down properly after installing Mavericks (https://discussions.apple.com/message/23502553#23502553) - which I solved by doing a clean install - App Store updates are not working properly.
Even though the HP printer update was implemented last night, it's prompting me to do the same update YET AGAIN.
And on my rMBP13, that HP printer update is not showing up at all in the App Store updates even though it's connected to the same network as my rMBP15 and the HP LaserJet in question.
What is causing this? How can I solve this? Please help!

What should I do then? I can't even update it if I wanted to.

App Store Update keeps showing even after installing

the app store on my macbook air keeps showing an update for MacBook Air SMC Firmware update 1.8. it shows 1.66f60 is installed in the system info page.
the MacBook air is late 2010 with OS X 10.9 Mavericks. The update acts like it is installing but, it still shows up in the app store update even after rebooting.
any help would be appreciated.

This may or not be related to the OP's post...
I have an Epson Artison 810, and since Mountain Lion was installed, my iMac (when waking from sleep or rebooting) keeps asking me if I'd like to download an update for this printer. If I click Yes, I'm taken to the App Store, where, after waiting WAY too long, it tells me my system's up to date, and that no updates are available.

App store updates not working

After updating to ios 7, and setting my app store updates to update automatically, and after they all did update, the long list of apps won't go away. They just sit there with an "open" button next to each one. I tried force quitting the app store, I tried signing out of the app store, I tried shutting down my phone, but the list just sits there. Any thoughts about this?

I have the same identical issue. Have you found any fix yet?

Thunderbolt Firmware Update 1.2 keeps reappearing in the App Store Update even after updating many many times. I have no Thunderbolt cables connected.

Delete Apps store/updates/purchase on iphone

Hello,
I have several apps on my iphone within: Apps store/updates/purchase.
There are some apps I want to delete (not hide).
Please help!
Greetings
Mies

After updated apps, apps would disappear on iOS 6 but not iOS 7 apps will not disappear as long lists of apps where are completed and won't disappears.. I read article and explained how to get rid of the updated apps that it said:
"This is by design now due to the Automatic Updates Feature. The only way I have found to clear them is to go into Setting> General> Date & Time and turn off the automatic setting, set your month to several days/month in the future..
Then go back to the App Store and the updates should clear, Then go back to your Date & Time setting and change it back to automatic" by KalebsDad78.
I did try this but still there and won't clear.. I can't figure it out how to get rid..

Anyway To Clear App Store Update History in iOS 7 ?

I like iOS 7 very much but would rather the App Store update history clear itself or maybe be just a link one can click. In previous versions clicking on Updates would poll only for new ones and/or tell you that you were up to date.

Yep! I see the relevance of this feature if you choose to activate "auto update" in settings, so you can tell the moment you got screwed by a bad update, but that's about all it's useful for. Nobody cares when an app is updated if it works out and it's not like you can revert back to the previous version via this list if it doesn't! The only way you can do that is delete the app and re-install via iTunes as long as you've set that not to auto download app updates.
I say if you chose to activate "auto update" then this info is minimally useful at best. If you chose to go without it on your iOS device you are manually chossing to update and obviously know what you are doing and the update history list is nothing more than clutter. There should be a setting that lets you opt in or out for this info or they should make it so that it only shows this data if you chose to select "auto update".
