Don't know. What happens when you use the App Store app and select the updates button? Are you sure that you have apps that have updates? How do you know this?


First thing to try is quitting the App Store app and resetting your iPad.


Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the App Store app until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

I was having this issue on my iPad too, though it was working perfectly on my iPhone. I tried all of the fixes listed in the other threads about this happening, but what eventually worked for me was syncing my iPad to my computer to give myself a restore point , then resetting it back to factory defaults including wiping all content and settings. Then I restored it using the info from my last sync on my computer. My updates tab in the App Store was working after that and I was able to see what apps needed updated and update them.

My iPad 3 with the lastet iOS version for the past several days shows I have 8 App Updates but when I click on the icon, not loads. I do not get a message telling me no updates available nor do I see any updates. It's just a blank screen.


I can go to Purchased and scroll through and manually update apps but that's a serious pain.


My iPhone on the same Apple ID and iOS version works as expected.


Rebooting and closing the App Store icon has not fixed the issue.


Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?
