Cannot check for app updates.

When you go to one of the other screens ("Featured", "Categories", etc) and scroll to the bottom, does it show the correct Apple ID?

Pardon the obvious, but since you didn't mention it, did you try stopping the app (double-tap home button, press-n-hold App Store icon, tap the red circle), then power cycling the iPhone?

Also, I'd suggest posting in the main "iPhone" forum. Your topic would not be out of line, and you'd get way more views.

Hello, I was wondering if u ever got this issue resolved, as I am currently in the same situation? (Except I only have 1 iPhone, so I have no idea how many updates I'm missing)

 

This is going to sound crazy but I just fixed my iPod touch (actually re-purposed iPhone 3gs) without resorting to a full restore – same story - it would not allow updates from the app store (cannot connect to iTunes store), but EVERYTHING else worked (Safari, downloading new apps, mail, etc). I went into settings, manually set the date to two years into the future (2014 – it’s 2012 now) and tried to update again – I got an Apple date and time security warning. Then I went into settings and changed the date back to 2012 and the updates are now working!

The important thing after you set the date ahead is to try to go into the app store and hit updates and get the warning....just setting the date forward and back alone didn't fix it.

Let us know if it works for you.

 

LOL....I see the "set the date ahead" tip is now listed here on the iOS blog page as an official workaround.....but still doesn't work for some.
