App Store updates blank

I have a red "1" on my App Store app, telling me one of my apps needs to be updated. But when I go to the updates it won't show anything, it's just blank. Everything else in the App Store works but I can't see the updates.any suggestions?

iPad 2, iOS 6.1.3

I too have had this issues. Running latest iOS on iPad 2.


This temp workaround fixed it for me, although I have had to do it twice in 12 hours as I've had multiple apps get updates pushed out in the last 24 hours.


1. Open App Store

2. Select Purchased

3. Tap on the A at the left to start with all purchased apps with the letter A

4. Scroll down through purchased "A" apps and look for UPDATE next to the app instead of OPEN.

5. Continue through alphabet until you've found all apps to be updated.

it's not your iPad it's the App store having trouble for the last couple of days. you can update by doing this


1. go to App Store

2. press Purchased instead of Updates

3. scroll down & you will see each App that needs UPDATING - press on each one separately; update download starts

4. do this for both iPhone Apps & iPad Apps (top left corner)


this worked wll for me; hope it works well for all until Apple can fix whatever mess caused this.

this was a much older way we used to have to do it; well & also put in the password each time.


funny that this is only on the iPad & not the iPhone! tho i had a problem with a couple on the iPhone because i purchased them with a very old Apple ID & password i haven't used in years....


i'd be interested to know if any of you used the new iCloud with the beta iWorks on it. that's when all the problems started for me - & not just with the App store. iCloud set up a new account for me using that old ID & Password; lost all contacts, calendars, memos, reminders. finally found the old account & everything restored.
