App Store not showing updates

When I got to "Updates" in the App Store on my iPhone, it nearly always says "All Apps Are Up to Date", but I've discovered through individual searching that a number of the apps that I have installed have updated versions available. This is pretty frustrating, since I don't want to (and shouldn't have to!) regularly go through and manually check for updates for all of my installed apps. Is there anything that can be done to get the App Store to correctly check and display when updates are available?

Mine is even more bizzare. I'm getting the same problem as you guys where the app store on my iPhone does not seem to be able to detect new updates. To add even more grief, my app store icon on the phone is still showing the number counter with the number 3. Basically that was the last time it was able to retrieve three apps requiring updates and then after updating, the update feature ceased to function and the number has not reset itself.

Mac App Store not showing Updates or Purchases

After upgrading my Mac OS to Yosemite, my App Store isn't showing anything under the "Updates" tab (It did some automatic updates in the background, so the number of pending updates dropped from 13 to 2).
Although I have already signed in to Mac App Store, it says:"You must sign in to view your purchases" under the "Purchases" tab. "Sign in" is a clickable link but when I click it nothing happens.

I'm having the exact same problem.
I can sign in via the menu bar-store-sign in, but it doesn't change anything.
In the bottom right corner of the updates page there's a US flag icon showing, indicating I'm in the wrong store. Unable to change to Norwegian.
I am also unable to go into iCloud in system preferences:

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.

App store not showing app details

Is something wrong with my ipad2 or is there some setting I am not aware of?
Here is what happened: I go to app store to search for an app. Clicked on the app icon to view details. Then proceeded to buy it and got it installed. I then went to search for a different app. Tried to view the details of that other app by clicking on the icon but nothing happens - the page showing the details of that app does not show up. I tried clicking on the other 11 app icons that showed up under that search. None of them responds. But all the other touch sensitive parts of the app store still functions - search box, filter pull down options, sort, next page, etc, etc.
This is not the first time this phenomenon occured. In previous times I did not remember what I did to get to that state where clicking on the app icons in the app store did not respond but I clearly remember on numerous occasions there is no response to clicking.
So is there a setting I don't know about or is my ipad2 malfunctioning?
Thanks.
Just want to add that the little icon with the $ sign on it to buy apps still works. Just the icon with the picture in it does not work.

Thanks, King_Penguin, for the suggestion and quick response.
Before I saw your response, I turned the ipad off and turned it back on (but did not reboot). Since that, I went into the app store and I could get into app details again.
I did not know of this feature you mentioned. Very useful. I tried it and many apps were shown to be running - even many apps that had been recently (past days) run but not since turnning off/on a few minutes ago were still shown as running. That is very weird. At the very least it's not a very efficient use of resources. I killed every single one of them incl app store. After this I could go in & out of various app detail screens.
Should this phenomenon happen again I will try your solution first and see if that alone will do it and report back here.
Thanks again. This is a useful feature to know about.

TS3274 Images of the apps in App Store not showing plus images in some apps

The images of the app in the App Store not loading and images in apps that are already loaded not showing, the text and everything else is fine only the images are not loading..?

Hi, Pepe6.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would recommend closing all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device. Test the App Store after processing these steps.
iOS: Force an app to close

App Store not showing up in ios8

AApp store and iTunes Store not showing up after ios8 upgrade, nor am I able to delete apps (they wiggle bot no x icon). Anyone having a similar problem?

Check what you have set in Settings > General > Restrictions - if 'Installing Apps' is 'off' then the App Store will be hidden, and if 'Deleting Apps' is 'off' then you won't be able to delete apps ; and if 'iTunes Store' is 'off' then iTunes will be hidden

New updates in app store not showing up...

The app store icon on my macbook dock shows there are 2 new updates, when i open the the app store and select "updates" nothing appears. This has happened ever since I've upgraded the OS to Maverick. Please help...

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test 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; 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 in OS X 10.7 or later, 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.

App Store keeps showing update for program that has been uninstalled

The App Store keeps showing an update available for Virus Barrier Express even after I have removed it completely from my system. Going into the Purchased list shows it is not installed. When the application was installed it always said there was an update. No matter how many times you clicked Update and allowed it to download and install the update, the App Store still showed the update needed to be installed.
On another machine it constantly shows an update for one of the installed applications but clicking the update button doesn't clear the update once it's been downloaded and installed.
Deleting the App Store preference hasn't resolved the issue. Enabling the debug menu and using the Reset Applications option has not either.

I found out what was causing my problem (can't re-install an app that I deleted and which was purchased from the App Store). The app I was trying to re-install under Lion was Apple's Compressor v4 which is only available through the Mac App Store. However, even though I was booting from my one-and-only copy of Lion the Mac App Store was apparently getting confused by an old copy of Compressor v3.5 that was installed on another boot disk that I maintain for Snow Leopard. I'm running on a quad-disk Mac Pro so all four disks mount whenever I start the system. In any case, all I had to do was unmount the other disks and the Mac App Store then allowed me to install Compressor v4 on my Lion system.
The reason I was able to pinpoint this solution is that I wanted to run another Mac App Store app (Find Any File) and even though the Store said it was "Installed" I couldn't find the application in either the Lion Application folder or within LaunchPad. I then realized that the App Store was referencing the copy of that app that was stored on my Snow Leopard disk and unmounting that disk finally allowed me to install both Compressor v4 and Find Any File on my actual/current boot disk (i.e. Lion).
Now, the odd thing about this problem is that Compressor v4 wasn't installed on any of my disks, it was the older version of Compressor (v3.5.3) that apparently was preventing me from installing the new version 4 on my Lion system. In fact, Compressor v3.5.3 crashes immediately under Lion so that version of the app isn't even usable when I'm running Lion.
So, if you're having a problem with installation or app removal or updates from the Mac App Store try dismounting any other disks which you might have attached to your Mac and see it that solves your problem. If it does solve the problem then you can almost be assured that the cause of your difficulty is some file that is present on one of your other disks (i.e. app may not even be on your current boot disk).

Purchased Garageband from App Store not showing in Purchases

I have purchased Garageband from the App Store and it downloaded seamlessly, worked well for the first few hours, on the next launch it wouldn't start unless i download some additional stuff of 1.6GB of size which i did. Once done and started installing it stops at some point before it completes installing and suddenly closes the application, when started again it askes for the download again. I did try downloading again, same scenario. Also, Garageband is not showing in my Purchases section of the MAS.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi..
You may need to, "unhide" the purchase.
Follow the instructions here > Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
Try re downloading GB again ...
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

App Store not showing application I bought as "Installed"

I wanted to post this in the App Store forum but it seems the forum has beed deleted.
I bought several apps from the App store before March 30. They all show up under the "Purchased" tab. Also, the "Buy" button in the main application page says "Installed". So far so good.
However, this is not the case with the application I bought yesterday (iPhoto). While it shows up under "Purchases", the "Buy" button say "14.99 buy" and if I click on it I get the message "Couldn't complete purchase because you already have it. Check Software Updates on your Mac for available updates".
That is, it behaves as if I hadn't bought it from the App Store and I will not get App Store updates. This is exactly what it tells me about pre App Store software such as Pages and Numbers.
Finally, I have the old iPhoto too (renamed iPhoto09). However I have both the App Store iMovie (11) and the CD one (iMovie 09) and that didn't cause this problem.
How do I fix this? More technical pointers to how App Store and classic Software Updates work and interact are welcome (maybe this can be fixed by editing some system files).
Thanks in advance

Found "App Store" reposted exactly the same question there. Please reply to that one.
Thank you.

App store not showing app I bought as "installed"

Unfortunately that is not correct behavior either. If you have an Apple app that you acquired from another source, all the MAS should do is show you that app for sale, as it does any other app.
I would download the 10.6.7 uPdate Combo;
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
Remove the MAS with the free AppCleaner to get all of its auxillary files;
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/appcleaner.html
After removing the MAS, restart and install the Update Combo. Be sure to Repair Permissions with Disk Utility before and after the installation. While installing the Update Combo do not multitask, let the Mac install the Update Combo with nothing else happening.
The update will install a new MAS which hopefully behaves better.

App store not showing the OS X mountain Lion purchased sw

I have purchased OS X mountain Lion sw... I tried downloadint it many times and it would fail due to some error saying "rety" message...
Now the App store is not at all showing the s.w in Purchased list...
What am I suppose to do??

You need to be logged in to the App Store using the same Apple ID that you originally purchased Mountain Lion with. If you have logged in with a different Apple ID, that purchase will not show up.
If you are logged in with the Apple ID that purchased Mountain Lion, you probably need to talk to Apple:
