Why is my App Store showing that an update is available for LION?

Anyone have any ideas please? My installation is up to date with 10.7.1 and Software Update also reports my software is up to date?
Thanks
David

If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

HT4623 Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download?

Why doesn't my ipad2 show that ios 6 is available for download? 5.1.1 is what I have now.

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

My software update shows that no update is available for my machine. It shows that it is running Snow Leopard 10.5.8, downloads for the 10.6.8 update will not open. I am trying to get the mac store app so I can upgrade to Lion.

I have not been successful in obtaining the latest version of Snow Leopard so I have the Mac Store app. My computer shows that there are no updates available even though it only shows it running version 10..5.8. I would like to upgrade to Lion. When I download the .dmg updates from the web, they try unsuccessfully to open in Itunes or Quicktime. I can not get them to run. What is my next step?

As noted, in order to update from OS X 10.5.x to OS X 10.6.x you will need to acquire the retail package for OS X 10.6; that initial jump can not be done via download.
The current shipping retail version for OS X 10.6 is 10.6.3. Once you have installed that you can update it to OS X 10.6.8 via the Combo Update - running Software UPdate should be able to fetch that for you. You can also download it directly -
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Once you have installed that you can download and install the update for OS X 10.7 (Lion).

TS1702 My App Store shows that I have 9 available updates, but the update screen remains blank. My ios is up to date, I have an active connection and can access every other section of the store.

I Can't access upgrades that the app stores keeps notifying me about. The update screen is just blank.

Folks can wait it out or I understand if you go to purchased and your list of apps you will see a little update banner on the ones that need to be updated. YOu can then download them manually.

HT6104 App store shows that it upgraded Safari to 7.03 but "About" shows 7.02...Also, Top sites show blank... obviously a MAJOR BUG!!!

How do I get my Top Sites back and stop the other bugs using Safari since it automatically "upgraded" yesterday? App Store shows that Safari 7.03 installed successfully but below is what I see when I go to "About Safari" :

sorry, forgot to add this screen shot of App Store... I don't have the option of re-installing....

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store..
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store. See if that made a difference.

Apps do not appear in applications folder, app store shows that they are installed

My system failed and I had my husband restore all the applications. He was installing Garage Band, iMovie ad iPhoto using the App Store. He paused the download of all the applications since the system had to to do a restart. When the system came back up, App Store was reporting that the applications were installed, but when I looked in the applications folder none of the applications were in the folder.
How do I restore these purchases?
Thanks

My husband was able to figure it out.
The problem was that the backup of my old system was connected and the old applications folder was found by the App Store App store. So App Store thought that the application was installed even though the application folder was not on the system drive.
The work around was disconnect the drive. My husband thinks that the the App Store should ignore any application that is not in the system Application folder.
Thanks

I do not have some apps in my mac but still app store shows them as update available

I have a Mac Book Pro. I installed some apps and then deleted them from my mac. All the apps are no longer visible in the launchpad. But still the mac app store shows them as an update available. Kindly tell my either how to uninstall those apps completely or how to get rid of the problem.

Hi Rishu1998,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, you dont want to see some purchases in iTiunes store. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

Mac App Store Shows Wrong Firmware Update

My Mac App Store on my Macbook Air shows an update for the following firmware:
MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.9
Obviously that shouldn't be there since I'm on a MacBook Air. The real issue other than that showing up in the list is that checking for updates times out on the server, sometimes with the timeout 1001 error, and I'm not able to get updates for any other apps, including iTunes.
Does anyone know how to reset the app store so that it can figure out what kind of laptop I'm using? I tried looking for the com.apple.appstore... file that I saw in the forum somewhere but there was no such file under /Library/Preferences to remove.
I did manually download that MacBook Pro 2.9 update and ran it to see if that would clear it, but it didn't. (And it wouldn't install, obviously, because it doesn't work on my system.)
I did download iTunes 11 and installed it outside the App Store, which worked, and I also updated my MacBook firmware to the latest. And finally, I put on the 10.8.2 supplemental package manually, but none of this has fixed the app store.
Anyone know what to do?

Fixed my own problem after some searching. I deleted the software update file with this command:
sudo find / -type f -name com.apple.SoftwareUpdate\* -exec rm -f {} \;
Then after that it all worked fine, including removal of the MacBook Pro firmware update.

App Store shows I an update but no app is listed

There is a notification that there are two updates in the App Store. When I open the App Store to see what updates are pending no apps are listed.

If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
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
5. Select update on the Apps

Why does the App Store need to re-update apps already updated since purchase?

I have noticed that the Mac App Store application flags already updated applications as needing updating when the version numbers of the proposed update and the installed application are identical.
For small apps this is not necessarily a huge problem but for big applications it can be an absolute pain as I have limited band-width at my home address. This costs me time, money (in the case of monthly band-width over-runs) and performance issues.
Is there an easy fix for this? (e.g. tweak / delete a plist file)
Thanks.

This has been a problem since the beginning of the app store. Drives me nuts, too. How long has it been? And they can't get it right? Will they ever get it right? :dunno

Mac App Store showing already installed updates

Hello there,
Mac App Store shows me often, but not always, already installed updates. Downloading them again doesn't help. Checking the version number in these programs, the updates are correctly installed. This is a little bit annoying and the update list gets a little bit crowded. Is there any solution for this problem? I have installed Mac OS 10.7.2. There's just one Apple-ID.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Tobi

Try deleting the cache...
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Then restart your Mac.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For LIon: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

App Store showing old, outdated updates. Annoying notifications.

Two of them date back to 2009?! I've tried uninstalling the problem apps and reinstalling them, but it didn't make any difference. I've restarted my device and nothing. At first there was only one problematic app (Galaxy of Fire 2), but as time goes on more and more apps are adding to the update list on my iPad 2 - and they are all outdated updates. As of now I have FIVE pointless update notifications and it's starting to get on my nerves.
Any help would be really appreciated, thanks.

If you delete the app on the iPad and download the app DIRECTLY to the iPad from the apps store, it will always download the newest version. It sounds like you are syncing older versions from the computer with itunes. Make sure the computer/itunes's version of the app is the latest.
Have you purchased apps from more than one itunes store account? If so, only the ones from the logged in account update when you tell it to. So if you are using multiple apps store accounts, you must update apps for each store account separately.

Why is my App Store showing prices in yen or ¥

This never happend before. Although I did download apps from japan(under my japan Apple ID). But I'm using my US Apple ID though and my region is US not japan.
