iTunes app section shows a 1 next to it all the time

[lindsayanng]

I only have 6 apps on my iphone AND itunes, and i have been updating my apps through my iphone, but also through itunes so that when i sync, everything works right..

anyways, recently i noticed that there is a little 1 sitting next to the Applications link on the left side.

Does that mean that there is an update? Or a stuck update?? what in the WORLD is going on???

It's been that way for me also for a while, I just ignore it.

Why don't you click on it and see what it thinks there's an update for?

Why don't you SEARCH. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

i dont wanna ingnore it. I want to know what the issue is. I dont want anything constantly running on my cpu

As no-one answered your question, it means a new update is available.

Something worthy of note: Apple's updating system is messed up, currently, as updates are notifying users when they are not needed, or, as an example,
iTunes 7.7.1 'updated' all my applications to 'older' versions yesterday.

i;m sorry.. i SHOULD have clarified.. i was in the middle of something else when i posted.. but when i CLICK on it, it does not show any updates.. and did i say i have been keeping up with the updates on my phone AND itunes?? so i KNOW what an update looks like.. its just this ONE little 1 is still there, with NO UPDATE>

thanks for offering a REAL answer.. BTW< i am usually a BIG fan of searching before answers, but this STUCK 1 has no answers yet

 

[lindsayanng]

Click on this in the Applications section at the bottom right. That should fix 'er.

For those who have experienced this issue and not found resolution, you might be in the same boat I am in. I have multiple iTunes accounts, so I have to log in to each individual account and then download the apps updates for each of my three accounts.

Perhaps Apple will one day come up with a way for me to combine these accounts. Until then, this step takes a little extra work.
