My App Updates page -- sort order gone?

In the last week or so, I've noticed that the app listing on the "My App Updates" page seems to have gone from sorted by app name to a nonsense scrambled mess. Has anyone else noticed this or is it something in my version of iTunes? I wonder whether Apple has done away with the sort because their update servers are becoming overloaded. I have had problems with that page not even displaying when the number of available updates exceeds around 200 (there are separate threads on that problem).

I've just noticed the same thing in My App Updates list too. It used to be alphabetical by app name, so you could easily find specific apps (in my situation often a list of over 100 updates). Now it's an utter jumble. Anyone else with this issue? Perhaps it is specific to Australia. In any case - why the change, I wonder? For my money, alphabetical is the only way to go.

  • App update page will not open,help.

    When using the app's store update in which it says there is 3 updates, the update page will not open, just a blank page, can anybody help?

    There is a problem with Apple’s servers that only they can fix. The problem has been going on for several days. You can try rebooting first and see if that gets the apps to show up in the updates tab.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    This is a workaround only and not a fix. If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    Select update on the Apps
    Hopefully the red notification number will go away after the updates are applied.
    Another option is to update your apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the updated apps to the iPad.
    1. Launch iTunes
    2. Click on Apps in the list under the Library heading in the left Sidebar.
    Click on Updates at the top in the window on the right
    Update all of the apps
    Connect your iPad and Sync with iTunes
    If you do not see the sidebar in iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top.

  • IOS 8 Photos App - Events Album Sort Order is Screwed

    Hi,
    When I sync my photos (that are grouped into Events) from my Mac iPhoto Library, to my iPhone and view them in the iOS 8 Photos App, all the events are no longer sorted in order - they used to be sorted chronologically in 7.1.
    To try and find the event photos that you are looking for is now impossible.
    Does any one known how to fix this or is it a regression bug that they have introduced with iOS 8?
    Rgds

    This is such a cluster-f*ck.  I was stunned when I found the change to iOS 8 brought this mixed up order of my events from my iMac's iPhoto.  Having them in Events by month/year was the only way I could keep a reasonable handle on where everything is.  This is completely unacceptable from Apple.
    Then again, it seems from what I read around the Internet, those of us using iPhoto as our managing software AND using it to sync pics to our i-devices are a clear and dwindling minority.  Maybe Apple just didn't think it important enough to bother, but they need to fix this. 
    What would have been completely helpful and awesome with iOS 8 would be the importing of keywords (and descriptions, but at least keywords) for those of us syncing from iPhoto.  I can understand why Apple wouldn't have done so years ago (memory onboard our i-devices), but today there's no reason for this.  Those tiny, tiny bits of data should come over with the photos to make them searchable by keyword.  I'd care less about the Events being out of order if I could search by keyword on my iPhone or iPad. 
    Come on Apple... we have enough storage space to make this happen.

  • Navigon app  updated, now saved locations gone!!

    Silly me - I allowed a Navigon "update" (via the normal updates mechanism) and the new version appears to have wiped all my saved locations (Favorites). Is there any way of recovering these from an iPhone backup in iTunes?

    You might try History ("Alt+S") > "Restore preivous session", then also from History afterwards "Restore Windows" > "Restore All Windows"
    Whether you get them back or have to recreate them, I would suggest that you save them all in a bookmark folder so your restore them at once and pin them each, or altogether if you have the "Multiple Tab Handler" extension.
    Although I don't have a problem with them disappearing when I start Firefox, they always seemed like a potential problem over time. I use them but I often do start them over from a bookmarked folder so the are "clean" only one page per app-tab.

  • ITunes 12 App Update Information: Easy access no longer

    iTunes Vn 12 has taken away easy access to the details of application updates. Before Vn 12 a single click produced the details  I now can only access using right-click/ view in iTunes Store!
    I Valued the easey access as it takes many seconds for the iTunes store to load and when finished I have to navigate to the Apps update page.
    Apple please restore this functionality

    Same issue here!
    The small app update brief isn't appearing at all!

  • Pro App update 4.0.1 - Macbook Pros and Motion 3 crash

    Anyone know if this Pro App update that came out today addresses the issue of Motion 3 crashing on the new Macbook Pros? Anyone know if it's safe now to run the Macbook Pro Software Update 1.0?
    There's no new information on the article page:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306038
    And of course, the information on the Pro App Update page tells us NOTHING about what it actually fixes.
    After the major problems the MBP software update caused, I'm extremely hesitant to run any updates as I cannot afford to have to wipe my hard drive AGAIN due to a bad update. YUCK!
    I'd try it myself, but being in the middle of a couple of projects, I just can't afford to take the risk.

    OK, just got off the phone with tech support. This Pro Apps update does NOT address the Motion 3 crashing issue.
    MBP owners, still should NOT RUN THE MBP SOFTWARE UPDATE 1.0.
    Good news is that I was told that the issue (Motion crashing due to the new video cards and OpenGL) has been heavily escalated.

  • The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix?

    The App Store update page has gone blank on my ipad, any clue why or how to fix? Updated everything and synced. App Sore icon shows there are updates.

    Until Apple resolves this problem, when you are in the App Store, if you have updates, try going to your "Purchased" Apps and you can update from there. Apps with updates will show "Update" next to them, just tap on "Update" and the update will be installed.

  • App store icon graphics gone, so are screen shots.  Updates page looks like it's not properly loaded - just text, no icons and no 'install' option. Can anyone help?

    It happened after i did a load of updates.  Icons are now missing - not a huge problem because they still download (just nice to get a glimpse of what i'm buying - there's no screenshots any more either).
    Updates page doesn't look like it's loaded properly - just a load of text down left side, no images and no option to install updates.
    I've done a hard restart and it hasn't helped.  I'm hoping i don't need to do something more drastic...?

    You could try "buying" a free app, which might help to reset things?

  • After iOS 8.3 update, apps stuck on OPEN on App Store Updates page

    Did the iOS 8.3 update by backing up my iPad Mini in iTunes then doing a "Restore". I did that with the last update and all went fine. This time, it appears to have gone well except that I had some apps that had updates pending after the Restore. After doing the updates, when I go to the App Store "Updates" page, I still have 4 of my apps listed there with the button option set to OPEN. On the upper right corner it says "Updated August 18, 2015". Yesterday when I did the update was Saturday April 25, 2015 - go figure. When I tap them they all open but they never leave the page. One post said to wait until an app had a valid update pending and see what happens after I update it, so I'll need to wait to see if that works. I have searched this community and tried all suggestions: changed the date set to manual and push it out over 30 days. That did not work. Did a reset. No luck. I even did another "Restore" thinking maybe that would resolve it, but they came right back. The puzzling thing is that in all of my searching, I have found apps stuck in differing states of "waiting" or "downloading", but none of them have mentioned seeing the apps with the OPEN option visible. I did delete the apps and that made them go away, but I'd prefer to keep them. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated. Thanks in advance...slog

    If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • Sort order in iPad's Remote app

    I have a few smart playlists in iTunes. When I control iTunes from my iPad's Remote app, some playlists show up (correctly) ordered by Album, other smart playlists are ordered by song. In iTunes (on my MacPro), though, both are ordered by album. Is there a way to control sort order in the Remote app's window?
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem. I converted my ipad incompatible videos - shot with my digital camera - to work with the iPad and got 2 identical event folders on my iPad with the same name.
    If I rename the event in iPhoto both events on my iPad are renamed but still split in photos and videos.
    Hope this will be fixed soon with an iPhoto or iTunes? update.
    Cheers,
    Steffmond

  • App Store updates page not loading!!! Grrrrrrr!!

    My 4s and iPad are both having loads of problems on the App Store at the Updates page. I've updated to iOS 6.1 to try and sort and restored as new phone and restored my backup and still doesn't load the full updates page despite showing updates on the app

    Use iTune (computer) to update your apps. When completed, sync to iPad.

  • TS1702 My Pages ap has gone grey and cannot be updated.  I don't want to lose what I have there.  How can I get it back?

    My Pages Ap has gone grey and cannot be updated at the ap store.  I don't want to lose what I have there...what should I do?

    What do you mean it has gone gray? Were you trying to update the app and it stalled on you?
    Do you backup with iCloud or iTunes on your computer? If you have all of the files backed up then you should be able to delete the app and reinstall it - if needed.

  • TS1702 Apps are 'frozen' on App Store Update Page - After Updating

    I've gone from non-stop App Store updates to zero App Store updates on my iPhone 5.
    However, the App Store Update Page just will not clear now. All are downloaded and that usually clears this page until the next updates are ready for download.
    Anyway, no luck ridding myself of these already downloaded Apps from the App Store Update Page. I
    I've opened each App from this page, tried force closing the App Store and rebooting etc.
    I tried deleting all the "frozen" Apps. They disappeared from the App Store update page. But once I went and downloaded the Apps again (this time using iTunes (to circumvent the device App Store) they appeared right back on the same page.

    There is, currently, no way to remove them. Whether by design or not, is not known. I thought they rolled off after a week, but I can confirm they don't.
