updating iPhone applications

[pratikk]

Hi all,
My sister has an Iphone and I have an Iphone and we have the exact same apps on our phones. Her phone's App Store Icon shows the red #'s when there are updates. Mine does not. There was an update for Ebay app and the pandora app and mine never showed. I even went into the app store and clicked on check for updates, and it said everything is up to date. Buggy or what? Obviously there are updates... It acts like it doesn't even check to see if there are updates.

Anyone else see this issue?

Whenever you access the App Store, it checks for updates to applications you’ve installed. By default, the App Store also automatically checks for updates every week. The App Store icon shows the total number of application updates available.

If an update is available and you access the App Store, the Updates screen appears immediately. Application updates are free and are downloaded and automatically installed when you choose to update them. Application upgrades are new releases that can be purchased or downloaded through the App Store on iPhone or the iTunes Store on your computer.

Update an application:

1. At the bottom of the screen, tap Updates.
2. Tap an application to see more information about the update.
3. Tap Update.

Update all applications:

• At the bottom of the screen, tap Updates, then tap Update All.

If you try to update an application purchased from a different iTunes Store account, you are prompted for that account’s ID and password in order to download the update.
