Updates don't show up in the App Store
Hi,
I've been running Yosemite on my late 2012 iMac ever since the early developer previews of it, and eventually once Yosemite was released I "upgraded" from the last DP to 10.10.1. Ever since then, my App Store just does not ever show any updates any more. I know 10.10.2 is out but it's not showing up, and I also know several regular applications that have newer versions (and they show up as being installed under Purchases) but they're also not showing up under the Updates tab.
What the ****?
Also, under Purchases it says Yosemite is not installed, but I clearly have it running. Any idea how to fix this so I can start getting updates again? The App Store just seems super broken for me.
There are a lot 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.
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 (potentially going through the A to Z list on the left-hand side of the screen, and similarly tapping the 'iPad Apps' button at the top left of the screen and selecting 'iPhone Apps' and going through them) to find those with updates and individually update them.

Why do my App Reviews and Ratings don't show up in the App Store?
Hey everyone..
I've been having trouble for at least a year now where whatever Review I write does not show up anywhere. I have done a lot of research on this subject prior to opening this Thread here, and have obvioudly not found anything on the subject.
I am aware as I read somewhere that for a review to display, the app needs to have at least 5 reviews, (which I also find obscure). We are talking about apps that have loads of reviews already posted.
It's needless to say HOW annoying it is to spare PRECIOUS time to review an app, (whether for positive, negative, neutral), and find out that it just went to waste. I never had this problem till about 1 year ago, where I noticed that no matter where I wrote a review, (from my macbook, within the store, from my iPad mini, from my ipod touch), it just NEVER showed up even after days or even weeks when I checked back.
Before I start wrting the review it asks for my Apple store password, (so far so good), after I'm done with the rating and Review, I press submit and .....nada....I don't get a confirmation or something that will say it's under Review from the App store. When I try to repeat the process, get out of the app I'm trying to review, and go back to write my Review, what I wrote is just simply sitting there, together with my Rating as if nothing happened.
I am aware that others have written before about this issue to no avail, now can SOMEONE please put an end to this MADNESS and answer one and for ALL the very, lately, disappointed, Apple fans that keep accumulating....? Can Apple give us an OFFICIAL explanation/solution to this very annoying issue? Or does it prefer to conveniently leave it as is for some "obscure" reason...?
Any replies will be more than appreciated...
CheersOk everyone...
So, after going through a hundred steps to manage and contact Apple Support via e mail, I sent them an e mail and got a reply saying that they will get in touch with me within 48hrs. Today, (24hrs), I received a reply telling me that they understand my frustration and has been an "on going issue". He wanted alse to verify what my nickname was for my the Reviews I had given.
After revisiting for the millionth time my iTunes store Account, to go to settings, and manage Reviews, (which is what I always did to check and see if they show up), to find out if my nickname had changed for some reason, I pressed on some older reviews, (like from 2010, which I remember had shown up), to check out my nickname.
I verified my nickname being the same as I remember. The 2nd app I checked which I knew I had reviewed, but from last year, was not showing. So, it dawned on me to press the “All Versions” options on the reviewing section of the app…and…voila….there it was. So, I took it further and looked at other even more recent reviews I had written and I also found out that they showed under the “All Versions” option.
Then I checked my last 3-4 that I did within the last few months that I knew did not show up and the apps also had no Upgrades that I knew of. Then, I discovered the sorting options , (on the right side), for showing Reviews. It seems like that it automatically sorts them out by “Most Helpful”, (which is odd), so I chose “Most Recent”…and….voila again, my review was beautifully sitting there with my nickname and everything…I couldn’t believe it.
Now I’m going to try and find if there is a way to have the “Most Recent” always as default…is there…? But it makes me wonder if all of you guys have the same problem and if the solution is indeed the same, (sorting out by most Recent or whatever other option will make your review show up). Give it a try and see how it works out for you. Please take the time to post your findings here. It would be helpful for everyone else as well. I wonder why Apple has not picked up on this?
I have to give it to them for the quick reply though..(mind you my e mail was quite.."angry"..).
Thanks again for reading.. -
My iPad II show I have apps to update but when I go to the App Store and the update tab it is blank and doesn't allow me to update anything
You can either wait it out or a work around has been found. In the app store click on the purchased tab. Your apps should come up and you can manually download each app (the apps that have updates will have banners on them)

OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 not showing up in the app store
Hello,
Going on day 2 now, the 10.10.1 update has not shown up in the app store for me yet. The only thing different or perhaps non-standard on this Mac is that OS X Yosemite was installed from the internet recovery option on a fresh formatting of the hard drive, it's using FileVault 2, and the standard user account is not admin.
The 10.10.1 update does not show up in either the admin or user account app stores. Any suggestions would be great.Have you tried going to the App Store and finding the update there? Or getting the updater from the Apple Downloads site: OS X Mavericks 10.9.1 Update

I've installed Mavericks but it still shows up in the App Store as "Download"
I've installed Mavericks several times - from the update section of the App Store to the Featured Section and even tried using cmd-r and a fresh install of the OS. Looks like it installed fine, but it still shows up in the App Store as to be downloaded and not installed.
Spoke with Apple Customer Care. They said it was normal and allowed Mavericks to be downloaded on multiple machines. Looks like all went well.

I have just bought a new iPad. I have connected it to my powerbool and snched it but many of the apps on my iPad1 are not appearing on the new iPad and showing installed in the app store. Please can anyone help me with this?
Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!

After updating to iOS 8.0.2 the App Store and iTunes have disappeared, is anyone else having this problem? Help please!
Well, if they have truly disappeared then something is really messed up. For really messed up stuff, you need to set it to factory default condition, and then afterwards, restore it from your backup.

I have an Iphone 4, IOS version 6.1.3.
My app store badge is showing 2 updates, but when I go into my app store, it tells me all apps are up to date. I've tried several of the fixes that others have who have had simular issues, but so far, I havn't seen anyone who is having the issue of the app store saying the apps are up to date. (Most others are unable to load the app store or its just blank.)
Sometimes when I go into the app store the notification will go away, but its only temporary as it will come back again later. I've gone through my purchased list, and there are none that have update beside them. There are some that have a cloud, but all of those are ones I have deleted and do not wan
Unlike most users, I do not have a ton of apps. Probably less then 30, some of those are ones it came with. If this was a computer, I would think that there is something in the registry that is left over from one of the apps I deleted and its triggering the app store. IDK if it works like that on Iphones as I'm not really an expect. This is the only apple device I've ever owned and I got it used from a friend about 6 months ago. (It was cleared and restored before I bought it from her)
Everthing else seems to be working fine for the most part, except that it has been acting kinda slow and sometimes the browser and stuff doesn't load right the first try. (I only use wifi on it, as I don't use a cellular service with this Iphone)ATtempt to power off your device and power it back on, if that doesn't work reset all settings should resolve it for you

My App Store Icon has a Badge showing that there are 8 Updates available. When I open up the App Store and go to Updates, the screen is blank. This is the first time I've experienced this and I don't find any other discussions in the Apple Communities. This is only happening on my iPad 4. My iPhone 5 is working perfectly.
It seems Apple is having some issues at their end. There have been hundreds of posts on the forum with the same problem.

Updates Don't Show Up in the Update Tab
(I did find a discussion to this effect, but that discussion appears to have gone quiet now, so I will try again.)
For around 2 weeks now, my iPad (and only my iPad – my iPhone is fine) shows app updates to be available, but when I go into the App Store, and hit the "Updates" tab, the apps to be updated do not show up there.
I can explicitly update them by showing all apps, finding the ones that need updates, and hitting the update button for each of those apps. However, they do not show up in the "updates" tab.
I've tried restarting the App Store app, and rebooting the entire iPad, neither of which helped.
Any ideas what's happening here?I've had the same issue and found the solution in an older thread. This is what fixed it for me:
1- did a hard stop of the App Store app
2- changed date to 2 years into the future
3- opened App Store app and I get an error indicating I can't connect to the store (this is expected)
4- closed the App Store app
5- did another hard stop of the App Store app
6- changed date back to automatic setting
Opened App Store app and the updates appeared and worked fine. -
since updating my apps don't work anymore, the app store won't connect, I tried deleting apps and reinstalling, no go. The phone is just a phone now.
Try accessing the Store through the Music App first then use the other app.

Apps purchased with a Mac don't show as installed in App Store
This may be related to a question I recently posted about iPhoto, but I think I am beginning to understand the problem better now so will rephrase it here.
In 2009 I bought an iMac (a lovely machine with 2.66GHz Intel i5 quad core and 8Gb of memory, plus the biggest screen available - I went for maximum spec at the time!). With the iMac came iLife (iPhoto, iMovie, Garage Band...). I also bought iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote...).
I have now installed OS X Mavericks, and am becoming totally confused about the upgrades to these applications. I think this is perhaps because I didn't buy the original software through the App Store and only set up my Apple ID quite recently (within the last year I think)
Here are my issues:
1) iWork 09. I can see that there are new versions of Pages, Keynote, etc (eg Pages 5). However, as far as I can see these have reduced functionality compared to iWork 09 - so I want keep the iWork applications. But iWork applications are all iWork 09 and they seem to want to upgrade to iWork 11. But where is iWork 11 and how do I upgrade to it? And why are the new versions of Pages, Keynote etc dumbed down compared to the older versions?
2) iLife. I just opened Garage Band, which I have used in the past to experiment with Podcasts. Garage Band opened and said it wanted to upgrade to version 10.05 - so I said ok why not? It went through the upgrade process successfully - and now Garage Band has lost track of all my previous Podcasts and not only that it tells me it doesn't know how to do Podcasts!!! Happily, it turns out that Garage Band 05 is still on my system and still works (and knows about my previous files). But frankly, what a mess!
In the App Store, Garage Band now shows up as "installed", but iPhoto and iMovie do not. On the other hand, maybe I don't want the new versions if these are also "dumbed down" compared to what I already have.

My MacBook Pro was pre-installed with MAC OS X LION.
That's why. You didn't buy it from the App store.
You can only get a physical copy of it if you buy the OS separately.
There's no reason to need a physical copy unless you are trying to install it on another machine, which you don't have a licence to when Lion is pre-installed. It's analogous to the old gray disk/white disk difference in the old days. Gray disk (comes with your computer) can't install on any other machine. White disk (you buy the OS separately) will install on anything.
If you need to re-install on your own machine, you use the Recovery disk or the Internet recovery mode.
