Since I updated to iOS 7, there are several Apps in the "Pending" section but there are no updates available for them. Many of them got their last update in October 2012! And instead of an "Update" button, it just says "Open" to the right. Is there an easy way to fix this?
iPhone 4S, iOS 7
Do you have any other devices which do not have IOS 7 yet or not eligible which share your Apple ID?
I have the same problem...
Yes, I have an ipad and an imac. My ipad is ok.
I have an iPad with iOS 7 in use and everything's fine there.
And I also have an old iPod touch but it hasn't been turned on for years.
What you are seeing is the way things are now with the updated Stores. It is supposedly a new feature, intended primarily for those using the auto-update feature so they have a record of what was updated and when. However, even if using manual updating, the list still appears.
You cannot manually clear it (at least no one seems to have found a way to). Whether or not it will self-purge itself (perhaps droping things once they are a set number of days past, for example) also remains to be seen.
Bottom line - this is normal behavior for the new store fronts in iOS 7.
I don't think you understand my problem. I mean the top section, where the new updates are.
That the list below is a history isn't hard to see ^^
But in the list on the very top I see old apps which haven't received updates - some for ages.
I have the same problem as A_Freakout. We are not discussing the new format in the updates area.
In ios7, under updates there are two sections. The top section appears only when there are updates available and it is called "Pending Updates". The lower section is all the apps that have been updated and is divided into the dates the update occured.
My problem is that, 13 apps have stayed in the "Pending Updates" section, even after they have been updated. Thus it shows that I have 13 apps to download.
Hopefully this explains the problem better.
I have the same problem as A_Freakout and mariospk, with 5 apps that stay in the Pending Updates area, yet they are already downloaded.
Perform a "hard reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.
As if I hadn't tried this already..
If it was a problem that can be solved with a simple hard reset, I wouldn't have posted it here ^^
Things I tried that do NOT work:
😟
Which iphone do you have?
I have 4.
I have the 5s with the same issue.
Try this:
Press and hold on the applications which are requiring updates.
Delete each one.
Go back to App Store, click on updates, purchased and download new application again by clicking on the arrow inside the cloud
Actually THIS solved the problem. Thanks!
Thanks Alibaba2k2! That solved it!
On iOS 7, I have Apps in the pending updates section that are up to date.
