Is anyone else experiencing problems with updating apps on their iPads?

I have the red badge on my App Store icon showing that several updates are available, but when I open the store, and go to the updates section, it's a blank white screen.

A review of several support forums shows reports of many others using it, and their contacts with Apple Tech Support falling on deaf ears.

I've tried a few of the known tricks (hard booting, signing out of store and signing back in; sign out, hard boot, sign in; date change) but so far nothing I know of or suggested on those forums has worked.

Anyone else have some ideas?

Support forum community reporting this is possible. I haven't done this yet.

I was able to update some of the apps by looking at the "purchased" list and scanning for "update" buttons
 
Only my Mini has the problem. iPod with same version iOS updates fine and iPhone and iPad with earlier iOS also update fine. I can update the Mini via iTunes fine.

Cheers
 
No problem with mine, just updated 3 earlier tonight.
 
Now while trying to watch a movie on the Apple TV, we are having issues.
 
I updated apps yesterday and today, no issues.
But then again I'm running a Gen 1 iPad with iOS 5
 
Same issue here. I did what AggieMike did and went onto the "purchased" page of the store. Then went through every letter on the left finding each app that said "Update" next to it and took care of it that way.

Looks like something that Apple will be fixing.
 
Could be that something got hosed in the apple developer network. They were cracked and they took a week or so to rearchitect things, including certificates. I don't think they are fully up and running yet so probably working out the kinks.
 
Hi all, yup same issues here and I noticed it just started in last week. How about you? My son the Apple guru, has no idea what is going on either.

Been about a week for me too.

I can see all of the rest of the App Store, but the update page is blank-o-rama.
 
Wasn't this all on the same week they introduced iCloud's iWork stuff? I figured they screwed up and it'd work later on, and it did.
 
Since this thread is open, here's another quirk that just recently popped up.

I read the WSJ via an app with Pandoa app open for tunes via wifi while on the bike at the gym.

Recently, Pandora pauses for no apparent reason and I have to restart. I have deleted/reloaded both apps a couple of times and the problem continues. The workaround is to use my iPad for the WSJ and an iPod for Pandora. Both run fine separately but not on the same device. It's just a minor PITA but annoying.

Cheers
