Red 1 on App Store icon

Suddenly I have a 1 in a red dot on my App Store icon on my dock. What is this? How do I remove it? This red dot does not appear on the App Store icon in my apps folder.

It means you have an update of a purchased app waiting to be downloaded.
Once you download the badge will go away.
The badge only appears on the App Store icon in the Dock.
Kind of like the new message badge on the Mail application in the Dock.

  • Red number on app store icon

    I've downloaded a couple of apps from the app store. Now on my home screen there is a red "number 1" beside the icon. What is that all about and can I get rid of it.

    "Whenever you access the App Store, it checks for updates to applications you’ve
    installed. By default, the App Store also automatically checks for updates every week.
    The App Store icon shows the total number of application updates available. "

  • How do I remove red dot update from App Store icon

    I just updated nine iPhone apps via iTunes during a recent sync of my iPhone (5s OSv8.1.2). Update and sync both went fine without a hitch. However, the App Store icon on my iPhone still has a red notification dot with a number 9. I've gone into the app, selected Updates, and noticed that all nine apps are listed there with an "Open" box next to them. I've opened each app and each works fine. I've powered off the phone; same problem.
    How do I remove the red dot notification next to the App Store app?
    Thanks.

    Hello, I finally went to the App Store support who rang me back and went through it.  It seems that Mountain Lion will not operate iPhoto 9.3.2, you have to have 9.4.2.  So trashed the application in my Applications folder (which has cleared my App Store of the hanging iPhoto updater) and they signposted me to the download for 9.4.2 (mind you it is taking hours to download!!)  I live in hope that this will fix it.  If it doesn't I'll let you know!

  • I have lost my app. store icon on my first gen. Ipad running IOS 4.3.3  , how do I restore the Icon ?

    Can someone tell me how to get the "App. store" Icon back on my original Ipad running IOS 4.3.3 ?

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Why is App Store Icon Showing Update Needed?

    My App Store icon at the bottom of my desktop is showing I have 1 update available. When I go to the App Store the update is for an App that already has the most recent update (SmartReporter). How do I get rid of that annoying update (1) notice?

    2011 MBP i5 Mavericks
    I had the same problem. App store alerted me of the iMovie update. I updated shut down and restarted, the update was reflected in the last 30 days, and it also indicated that I needed to update iMovie, having the red indicator. I checked my applications and I had the iMovie 9.09, and the current iMovie version. I deleted Both the older version, and the newer version of iMovie, emptied the trash, closed all open programs, and then pressed the off button to shut down. Waited 30 seconds and pressed the on button, waited for everything to load then click the apple in the top left ,click on software update and the red indicator was GONE. Although I have never used the application, in my compulsive nature I just downloaded it again and no red indicators. I hope this helps my fellow Apple User having the same problem : )

  • App Store icon doesn't appear

    We can't find our App Store icon anywhere on the I pad checked settings not sure what the problem is

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (pull down the centre of the home screen in iOS 7), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?

  • App Store icon on dock

    My app store icon has a red #1 in the upper right corner. It appeared yesterday. What does it mean and how can I get rid of it?

    Well, if it isn't in the applications folder, maybe your kid deleted it completely. This thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2732272?tstart=0 shows the steps to recover the app store.

  • Why did my Safari and App Store icons disappear?

    My Safari and App Store icons have disappeared from my screen.  They were there yesterday and I did nothing to my Apple 5 phone

    1. Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset Home Screen Layout
    2. Confirm the action by pressing the red "Reset Home Screen" button

  • App Store icon for updates needed is incorrect

    The App Store icon on my phone shows that I have apps to update.  When I click on the icon to install them, there are no updates to install.  The number of UNneeded apps is always '3'.  For example, the icon will show that I need 3 updates, when I check there are none to install.  If the icon shows 5 updates, when I check there are only 2 to update.  This just started happening shortly after iOS 7 was released; I have not installed it, nor do I plan to install it anytime soon.  What is causing this?  I took a picture showing the icon indicating 3 updates needed and the update page being blank, and I can post it if desired.

    I've seen reports of this happening when updates have been issued for apps that make them only work on iOS 7, users of earlier versions of iOS get notified that there are updates pending but when you actually go into the app store updates function it realises they don't apply to you because you are on an earlier version of iOS than what the new versions  require.
    In fact I just had a very similar experience on my iPod touch with iOS 6, in App Store app it flagged 7 app updates in red badge but when I clicked on the Updates button it only listed two  apps to update, once they'd been applied the outstanding updates badge disappeared.

  • App Store icon doesn't display pending updates (notifications)

    I've noticed that with many of my friends, they get the notification on top of their App Store icon saying how many apps are pending updates. I do not get these notifications, unless I open the App Store application. If any apps have updates, let's say 3, when I close the app store, then I have the little 3 on top of the App store icon. how do I get these notification automatically without first opening the app store?

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (pull down the centre of the home screen in iOS 7), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?

  • Number of updates now shown on App Store icon

    Has anyone encounter a problem on the number of updates showing up and off on the App Store icon?
    First I have to click on the App Store and click on updates in order for the number of updates to show otherwise if I don't, it will always say all apps are up to date. Sometimes it shows I have 4 updates in the App Store. I do not update and then when I come back to it would show no updates available. If you keep toggling in and out of the store the number of updates would turn on or off. This happened when I installed ios 7 on my iPhone 4S and iPhone 5.

    I have just noticed, that when I open an App called Weather Pro, the red badge is gone as soon as I close it again. How come Weather Pro can make the badge on the App Store disappear?

  • App Store icon in dock not showing available updates

    Hi,
    I've just migrated over to a new iMac (which is lovely) but I'm having trouble with the Mac App Store icon in the Dock.
    Apparently it is meant to show a small red badge when updates are available for applications bought through the store - but I never see them. If I open the App Store, and click on the [Updates] button I can see a number of available updates listed. I can then install them as normal without any problems.
    So there seems to be a minor problem getting the Dock icon to update itself when updates are available.
    Does anyone know the solution? Sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find anything in the KnowledgeBase or by searching here - perhaps I don't know the magic words
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike.

    All of your apps were migrated?
    It is a large file, but you may have a damaged MAS, or may be missing a component to 10.6.7, so the only way to reinstall the MAS and to perhaps fill in any missing pieces to 10.6.7 is to download and manually install the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo. It is safe to install over your current installation of Mac OS X 10.6.7.
    Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo

    Saw this on another post.
    Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it!   It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

    Try this first - Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • I have an iPad mini, 16GB, running on the 7.1.2 iOS system, my App Store icon is no longer on my home screen and neither is my iTunes Store icon. They are listed in my settings but I can't access any unless through other games, or songs on iPad.

    I Have an iPad mini operating on 7.1.2 iOS. My App Store icon as well as my iTunes Store icon are missing from my home scree. They are still listed under my settings, but I can't access them unless it's through an app that already exists. Where can I go to reinstall these?  I use the same Apple ID on my iPhone 5c as well and they are on the iPhone, but I don't know how or why they just disappeared from my iPad and want to know how to get them back without having to reset my iPad and lose what I have on it. Thanks, Karla

    Thanks so much! My grandaughters played games on the iPad over Xmas and one of their moms said shed restricted their access! Guess they forgot to enable again. Thank you again! Karla
