On my iPad2, I have the red reminder that 4 apps need updating. Well, they have been. When you open the app store it shows that they have been updated with the notation "open" with them. I have done a reboot, and a complete wipe and restore and its still there. Any ideas?
iPad, iOS 7.0.4
Close the App Store, sign out of your Apple ID, and then force restart your iPad.
If that fails to clear the update notifications, try disconnecting from WiFi by turning WiFi off on the iPad, restart the device and turn on WiFi again
Or try resetting your router by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again.
Demo, thanks, but I've done all of that many times. Still no luck. Its like my ipad is a demon child 👿
Hi Update iPad to ios 8.3 you many find it works then. Cheers Brian
Hi Brian, thanks for reminding me to update my profile, thats for my first iPad, the Air is IOS 8.3.
I concur that the latest 8.3 does clear up many of these App Store glitches, so that's one point in favor of updating to this version.
I prefer updating all my collection of apps on the master backup library I keep via iTunes on a Mac, then update the iGadgets via Sync. After that is done, the red label doesn't go away automatically: have to run App Store and tap on Updates, but it now confirms it is 100% up to date, wipes the screen with an "All apps are up to date" banner and clears the label.
Courcoul my ipad is running 8.3. (just haven't updated my profile). If you look at the pic I posted, it shows all apps are updated, and the "Update" link at the top left corner of the app is grey, meaning is it not active. My apple products have always until now, removed the reminder on the app icon.
Have you tried deleting one of the apps and downloading it again? You will lose all of the data in the app when you delete it, so backup first in case you do care about the data and want it back.
Demo, I thought doing a full restore to new, and loading from backup would accomplish that too??
Lets really throw in a unknown here. The ID for the iPad Im having trouble with is XYZappleId. That ID will not let me log on in support and go to a group, it keeps giving me an error message. So I had to use my other apple ID to log on and post here. Hmm, interesting isn't it. I think a call to Apple is in order.

I would have thought so as well, but I have seen some really odd behavior from these iOS devices from time to time and I am just trying to think of other things that might be worth a try.
Your post about having trouble with that particular Apple ID could also have something to do with this problem.
Ok Demo, problem solved for now, but I have no idea what it was. Apple support talked in a tongue I"ve never heard before ( we are talking super geek nerdish ). They had me reboot everything I own LOL, router, modem, bathroom toilet you name it.Tag on app icon is gone for now, lets see how long this lasts. Oh, I can now sign in with XYZappleID and get to the support groups,hmmm, I wonder. I think we both know it was something to do with that ID. Thanks for your help.
That was basically what I was saying to do in my first post, but you said that had tried all of that. In any event, I'm happy to hear that it is working correctly.
Apps needing updated.
