App update issue.

[Charbarot]

When I went into apps via iTunes on the computer...I found nothing that enabled me to update. I couldn't even find an update button...really bummed. But I have to leave for work now. I'll check back later. Thank you everyone

Choose the apps that should update, right click, and then you should be able to update.

app store blank white screen on update page

Hi .. for the past two days i experienced the above on my ipad 2 app store ..

The red badge still showing the updates but when i opened it, it showed white blank page

Closing the app on the multitasking bar and reopened it did not help, also signing out and resigning back the apple ID ..

The "feature", "purchased", "search" pages all worked fine .,

Anyone also experience this ??? .. Any advise .. ??

thanks ...

I'm thinking it's all part of their problem(s) with that developer portal. Mainly cause this is also happening to me and it's the only explanation I can think of. Kind of annoying, having that badge on the icon and not being able to do anything about it, yeah?

I figure we just have to wait and see how it gets sorted. The comforting thing? It's not you...

I just answered this on another thread - but it appears to be happening to a lot of people (me too!). I think it's something on Apple's end and there is nothing we can do except wait it out.

That is - if your only problem is seeing the update page (it shows a blank screen). But you can see the other pages just fine. If that's what's happening, I think it's on Apple, not you/us.

All we can do is wait and see...

If that's true, then why does my iPad 3, which is on iOS 7 beta 3 have no problem updating apps. In fact, I'm updating 4 apps right now. This is my Solar Walk app, updating right now.

It's not happening to me. I had 3 updates today, no problems updating with my iPad (6.1.3).

Maybe it's not everyone?

All I know is - I am experiencing the same symptoms as initially described here. And have been since this morning. And only on my iPad. Because, the weird thing is: my iPhone 5 (on the same iOS, 6.1.2) - is working just fine. As is my sister's iPhone 4S. Both phones are jail broken, as is the iPad.

And, my Mom's stock iPad 2 (on iOS 6.1.3) also cannot open the Updates tab.

Maybe your's is "fine" cause you're on iOS 7?

Would be interested to see who else is having this trouble - and what iOS they are running.

None of my devices on iOS 6.1.3 will update apps, just the ones on iOS 7 beta 3.

I've taken the liberty of merging two threads together - as we all seem to be talking about the same issue: Some of us cannot get the AppStore Update tab to show (although we have update badges on our icons). In addition, it seems to be only the Update page with issues - all the others appear to be working fine.

Just didn't want to have two different threads going on the same topic. I was getting confused!!

Thanks for understanding.

Thanks for the tip, I'm updating my apps now.

Yes, thanks. At least I've got rid of those stoooopid badges (tho my Update tab is still a pretty white). Yay!

I have a LOT of apps on my iPad. So, I was kind of worried about going through each and every app I've ever gotten from the AppStore. Yikes!!! But, I remembered that I keep my iTunes pretty up-to-date with apps and their updates.

Then, I decided to check and see if I could update the apps on iTunes (and yes, they all updated just fine, there). So, I then looked in the Recycle Bin (on my Windows PC) for those apps that were recycled because of the new updates. That reduced the number of apps I had to look through in my Purchased tab to 25 (I had two updates showing on my iPad - so I wasn't as up-to-date as I thought...but still, 25 is a lot less than 100s! ).

I found the two that needed updating fairly quickly after comparing the deleted apps to my purchased list.

Maybe my "trick" will help others find their apps that need updating? Doesn't help the white page - but sure helps get rid of that badge.

Thanks again, rhardin, for the tip. Appreciate it.
