App updates are not showing up in iTunes

I have a notification of 14 apps for updating on my iPad and 15 apps on my iPhone. Yet, nothing is appearing in iTunes on my MacBook Pro / OS 10.9. No matter how often I click "Check for Updates", I am told that there are no updates available for my library. When I check the version numbers of the apps in my iTunes that appear on my iPad & iPhone, they are a version below what is available.

This has only started happening in the last couple of days.

iTunes-OTHER, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Working for me now here in UK, with UK & US accounts. 111 updates flooding in 🙂

The App updates on iTunes (mac) issue seams to be fixed, but now the app updates (downloaded on the mac) won't install on the iPad. New apps (downloaded on the mac) will install, but not the updates.

Updated: after a few attempts app updates (downloaded on the mac) now install on the iPad. I guess the issue is resolved. For now at least...

Yes, it seems like Apple fixed the issue on the iTunes servers! Working here in the U.K. with U.S. and U.K. Apple IDs.

Unreal, Apple-style. No apology, no heads-up, nada, zilch, zip. 😟

J.D. Power Customer Satisfaction Award anybody? 😕

I am in the U.S. with one iTunes account for iPhone 5S & iPad 2. I use Windows 7. On Monday 1/216 I called Apple Care on this problem. The senior tech could not help so sent me to an Apple Store where they replaced my phone. Even with a new phone the updates are not working. I can update apps on my desktop with no problem. In the app screen, my iphone and ipad have the words "update all" greyed out and a bunch of apps show up in the list with the word "open" next to them. It seems they are all the latest versions, but I can't get the list to go away. I have reset networks, updated computer software, updated iTunes, and done everything I could think of. Does anyone else have that going on?
