App Store update tab won't show or allow updates on iPad but will on iPhone?

Still no luck. Power down after sign off, sign on no luck either. Will try again later. Day 2 of this issue. My sister has ipad 2. Not having this problem.

Workaround: If you know the name of the app you can search for it in the App Store and the Purchase button will read "Upgrade"

Same issue for me. Ipad 2 that's three weeks old. Signing out...waiting....signing in....waiting...did not work for me.

And I too, am experiencing the malady and disappointed when something that 'did work' now 'doesn't. How many pages and hundreds of people will it take before Apple steps in and fixes it?

I've got the same issue with my iPad2.

Tried:

Quitting all running apps and shutting down.

Deauthorizing in App Store and shutting down.

Reauthorizing in settings and shutting down.

Uodates showed 9 available after every step.

The only thing that HAS worked was going through the purchased apps and updating each individually.

I've backed up all apps in case I have to wipe it.

Did any of you end up wiping your iPad after the last major iOS update? I'm trying to figure out what caused this. I'm hoping its on Apple's end. I've got about 11GB free on my iPad, so space shouldn't be an issue.

It's clearly on Apple's end, because it's numerous iPads, on different networks, all of which were working fine before now. So be patient and give Apple time to figure it put and fix it. In the meantime we can apply any critical updates individually

Same problem here. Shows the number of updates, but doesn't show the available updates on the AppStore app...

Having same problem on ipad 2 only. iPhone updating fine. Rebooted and logged out then login end under setting/ app store & itunes as advised on another site. Didn't work. Appears to be an Apple issue not a device issue since iPhones are updating correctly. Hopefully they will correct soon.

I've been having this same problem for the last three or four days.

Tried logging out twice and had no luck.

My mini is doing the same thing. I have tried everything to fix it. Glad to know it's not just me......it has to be on Apple's end. Kind of stupid how all the other tabs open, but the app update tab is blank. **sigh**

Same thing here; ipad 3. Tried quitting/restarting App Store, changing language, rebooting, setting year ahead, changing wifi networks, and many combinations of the above. Hopefully Apple gets on this. I am glad to hear it's not just me...

Thank you. This worked for me. Yesterday I had updated one app through purchased route. But the second was not showing. Today I tried after changing ipad display on top left to iPhone. Immediately the second app was visible with update mark near it. Now the app update is not showing any number. Thank you. But what is apple doing when the whole ipad world seems to be burning?

I'm not sure why I even tried this, but I got updates to work by shutting down Wi-Fi and switching to my cellular connection. It showed the updates immediately. Perhaps it forces the request through a different server. Hope this helps!

Same issue 2 ipad minis. Worked through purchased, but not update screen.

My iPad 3 is having the same problem and like everyone else my iPhone 5 is not having the problem. I got it to update by syncing with my Mac desktop. However, seeing this is not my device, I agree that Apple needs to do something.
