Weird Application showing up in App Update widget

When I run the app update widget I see this weird applications. It's been there for a while, but I'm now getting worried that I can't find out what it is.. latest updates of all widgets and software.
I looks like ['maikon] but the i is an uppercase special character.
Anyone else getting this?
An image of the applications listed can be found here:

Why do app updates no longer show up for me in iTunes?

Please don't stop reading, because I think my issue is different from similar ones I've found posts about.
For the past week or so, I've been unable to update apps through iTunes. When I click "Check for Updates," it shows "Accessing iTunes Store" at the top of the screen, but after it finishes I never get a dialog box -- neither the dialog box saying there are new updates nor the one saying there are not. Also, I don't get the notification in the left hand column next to "Applications" that normally shows how many app updates are available. The latter point is what seems to distinguish my problem from the other posts I've seen, in which push notification seems to work but updating fails. I can't even see any updates in the first place -- and this occurs even when I can see from using the App Store on my iPhone that I have multiple updates available. And I have a lot of apps.
I should add that this is especially mysterious because it is the only problem I am having with iTunes. I can still download NEW apps from the iTunes App Store, sync my iPhone, download podcasts, etc. I can also update Apps on my iPhone itself. My internet service is working fine. This problem began with the previous version of iTunes and has continued in iTunes 8.1.
One final confession. A few weeks ago, I went through my Apps folder and deleted the non-current versions of all of my apps, hoping to save space on my old computer's hard drive. I don't think this is the cause of the problem, because app updating continued to work for a few weeks after that. But I mention it in the interest of full disclosure. But in addition to my main question, I'd be interested in knowing if this is a bad idea for future reference.
I am running iTunes 8.1.0.51 on Windows XP Home edition (SP 3), and I have a first-generation 4GB iPhone.
Can anyone help?
Thanks very much!

ell, exactly same problem here: could not have been described better. It all started when I noticed that I could no longer update iPhone apps. "Applications" folder under Library showed such updates awaiting downloading: I could not get any further.
AND SUDDENLY, for no reason, the "Application" in iTunes "Library" disappears! No folder visible, no apps listing, no updates mentioned. Wow!
i had contacted Apple's iTunesStoreSupport in regard to the initial incident, and was kindly informed that:
+"Dear Roger,+
+Thank you for contacting iTunes Store Customer Support for assistance. I understand that you are receiving intermittent connection errors using iTunes 8.1.+
+Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.+
+Thank you very much for your patience, and I am sorry for any delay in enjoyment of your iTunes experience. Finding a solution for you is important to me.+
+Remember, we wish your iTunes experience to be truly enjoyable. Take care, and thank you for being a valued iTunes Store customer. Your business is most appreciated.+
+Best regards"+
I thus figured that in some way "all was in control"... Until the Applications forum disappeared. Apps gone??? Are they stored somewhere on my Mac??
I have just emailed an update incident report to iTunesStoreSupport with screen prints to show abrupt, undesired change.

Launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / View My Account
Click: Edit Payment Information
Make sure you have the correct Security Code.
Then click: Done
And try resetting your Apple ID password. https://iforgot.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/DSiForgot.woa/wa

HT1311 Changed my apple ID for iTunes, but did not work for app updates.

I followed the directions on my phone and successfully changed my apple ID for iTunes. But when I to update apps, the old ID still shows. How can I change my Apple ID so I can update my existing apps?

Correct! The apps I had previously were downloaded using my husband's apple ID. We are now separated, and I would like to download updates under my OWN apple ID. I followed the instructions for changing my AppleID on my phone, and it works with iTunes downloads. Yet the old AppleID continues to show up for App updates/downloads. Can I change the apple ID for App updates? Or must I delete all the apps on my phone that were downloaded under HIS apple ID and then redownload them under my own ID?

App updates not going away

So I have IOS 7 currently installed on my iPhone 4S and when I go to update my apps it still shows the previous app updates, is there a way to get rid of them or is it just a defect in iOS 7?

This is by design now due to the Automatic Updates feature. The only way I have found to clear them is to go into Settings > General > Date & Time and turn off the automatic setting, set your month to several days/months 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.

IPad Web App updating issue

My iPad is showing 2 web app updates in the queue. However, when I click on 'Updates' in the App Store, no updates are showing. Any ideas how I can both get the updates to show and then to download the updates?

There are countless posts about this. There's a problem at Apple's end and has been so for several days.
However, I have no trouble updating using itunes on my computer and later syncing to my device.

The iTunes Store on my iPad is set up with all my music already. And at the very bottom it shows my apple Id username. The only place it shows the previous owners id is in the App Store...
You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

My APPS application shows an update is available yet it doesn't show the APP. What's going on?

My APPS application shows I have updates available yet when I view it, it doesn't show the APP. I have to download it from iTunes to my Phone. What is going on?

If you have two apple IDs then try logging in with the other ID. Apps are locked to the ID that was used to download then in the first place

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.

2014.1 App Updates Not Showing Up in Creative Cloud

Hi,
Not all the 2014.1 App updates showed up in my Creative Cloud Application: only Dreamweaver 2014.1 and Edge Animate 2014.1 showed up. I've installed the Application Update for the Creative Cloud App, restarted the app, and no success. I've quit and relaunched the app. They don't show up.
MacBook Pro
Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013
Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
A.

Hi amcallisterocad,
We would like to inform you that application except Dreamweaver, Edge Animate, and Muse would not show version as CC 2014.1 in Creative Cloud desktop app. However, if you go in the app menu then about app, you should see latest build there.
Eg.
Launch Photoshop.
Go to Photoshop menu> About Photoshop.
Check the build there.
Please let us know if there is anything else that we can be of help to you.
Thanks,

IPad Apps showing (3) but no update available

I have purchased few Apps and now getting updates, Apps on right side of iTunes showing 3 but no update is available whenever I am checking for update.
What is the problem? can I get rid of this number in front of Apps?

My problem had different reason, and old app from another store/country, was locking my updates and downloads.Workaround that worked for me; delete app that you bought from different countries stores (you used different login) that maybe getting an auto update, and just leave app being update of the store you are logged on (main store) (I just had one old app) >>> check for downloads in store menu >>> they should start >>>> after download login in the other country store and buy the application again, if store/copyright permits (should be free if you paid before). In summary..auto updates do not work if from multiple/different accounts/country stores. Hope it works. Best

IMovie 10.0.1 still shows in App updates

Just went through the huge 2gb download to install the latest iMovie 10.0.1 in Mavericks. It installed, and shows up properly in the "Updates Install in the Last 30 Days" list. iMovie's About display also shows 10.0.1 as the version. Why does the App Store still show it as an update and want me to download and install the 2gb update again? See pic.

Hello there, bediddleby.
The first step to try would be to sign out of the App Store, restart the computer and then log back in to the Mac App Store. The following Knowledge Base article provides information for those steps:
Mac App Store: Sign in and out
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11499
If the issue persists after you've completed them, the next step would be to remove the iMovie application altogether and then reinstall it. This will not affect your content.

App store won't open, but shows I have 2 updates to install

I declined to install Yosemite based on comments of problems, now the app store icon is showing I have 2 updates to install (so one more than the Yosemite offer) but app store only opens to a blank screen, after a long wait Finder shows 'not responding' so I force quit. Am concerned since have heard may need a security update.

Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
