Can someone please help me figure out why, ever since upgrading to iTunes 7.7.1, the Applications section of iTunes is reporting that there is "1 update available" for my installed applications, but upon clicking the notice to retrieve the update, it then shows that there are updates available for every single one of my 60+ installed applications...

I've proceed to install all 60+ alleged updates, but upon doing so, iTunes still reports that there is 1 update available and clicking that notice still brings me to the iTunes store which still shows that there are 60+ updates available (even though I just went through the process of downloading/installing the updates?

How can I get it to correctly report the number of available updates, because if this issue presists, the update notification feature is basically pointless for me.

Thanks!

Yea, considering the OP isn't the only one with the issue, that won't work. I would know, I've restarted my phone a few times and it still reports I need to update software, even though it already is.

I've tried restarting my iPhone, my Computer, and iTunes...multiple times; I then proceeded to run a full battery of repair/maintenance utilities (using Disk Utility, Cocktail, & Disk Warrior)...AND YET THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS! Does anyone know of a workaround or fix for this bug?

• Would trashing iTunes' Preference file do anything to assist with this? Would doing so have any affect on my iTunes playlists, tags, play counts, etc....(or would doing so just mean that I would have to reconfigure iTunes' preferences settings)?
• Would restoring my iPhone from either a backup or setting it up as a new iPhone potentially fix the problem?
• Is there a .plist file somewhere that can be slightly tweaked to potentially resolve the issue?

Any other thoughts?

At this point, I basically can't update any of my Apps unless I decide to update all of them...so I'm kinda dead in the water here, and any support anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

After trying out ever imaginable solution to the problem, I finally resolved the issue...

Unfortunately, there was no 'magic-pill' set of steps that I can offer...it was merely a matter of tinkering with it long enough...

I updated/installed (all 60+) Apps over and over...
I logged out of my iTunes account, then back in...
I deauthorized my computer as one of my 5 iTunes authorized machine, then reauthorized it...
I restarted my iPhone, iTunes, and my computer...
I ran disk utility to repair permissions, and also ran a battery of other maintenance/repair processes using the third-party app Cocktail...
etc, etc...

finally, out of the blue...I stopped getting the '1-Update-Available' notice and the subsequent 60+ updates that would appear when choosing to update...

Hope this info helps others resolve their similar issues!

I think I'll just ignore the app updates until Apple fixes the problem.

Ignore the iTunes notifications. Something there is borked and doesn't report correctly.
