The way iTunes handles updates is broken. Do all updates through the App Store on your iPhone/iPod touch.
How the iPhone handles updates:
- Version 1 of app is installed.
- App Store notifies you version 1.1 of said app is available.
- App Store downloads update, deletes the old version and then installs the new one.
How iTunes handles updates:
- Version 1 of app is installed.
- iTunes notifies you version 1.1 of said app is available.
- iTunes downloads update, keeps version 1 of the IPA, version 1.1 is then stored as IPA 1 (future updates are then stored as IPA 2, IPA 3, IPA 4, etc).

I have the same problem too. Itunes states that there are no updates but my iPhone states there are 5. Performing an 'Update all' on the iPhone stalls the updates.
Damn it. My iPhone totally froze and when I restarted it, it was stuck at the Apple Logo. Just had to restore it. Blimey this 2.0 firmware is buggy...

Yup. In my experience (22 restores since July 11, and counting!) you're really playing with fire any time you try to update!

This would be my 16th restore (in the process of doing it right now), and counting... stupid buggy 2.0 software on a stupid glitchy iphone 3g...
If you did that with apps you already bought, wouldn't that just buy them again?
I'm afraid to do that, because I don't want to be charged multiple times...

no, they're part of your account.
so you've done it?
What happened?
When I try, it says "are you sure you want to buy and download the application [random app]? -- your credit card will be charged for this purchase and you application will begin to download immediately."
And this is for something that I already bought.....
It doesn't work for me either. Downloading the application again doesn't help.
Apple needs to make the App Store better. Updates should become immediately available and the process of accepting new programs should not last so long....

Another issue I see is that when I download an updated version of an app where the icon has changed, it displays correctly on the iPhone but the icon in the Applications section of iTunes shows whatever the original was.
iPhone 2.0 and iTunes 7.7 both need a quick x.x.1 update. Lots of bugs.

I can't update at all. The updates do not show up on my phone and when I try to update them through itunes I get itunes error 5002. I have 5 apps available to update right now but when I click to see which ones have the updates I get that error so I don't even know which apps have been updated. It's really starting to piss me off. I've tried restoring several times and that does not help.
having the same problem countless times-frozen apple logo in boot screen then having to restore via itunes.
the most annoying thing is although im restoring from a backup none of my app data is restored so logins,game high scores etc dont get restored.
is everyone else finding this also?

I'm having a problem where after a sync, the apps shown in iTunes does not show all the apps I have on my iPhone. So after a warranty replacement, I had to redownload and reinstall most of my apps.

Same problems here. It seems to take a couple of days for updates to appear in iTunes (maybe Apple only refreshes its 'to be updated' list once a day?)
I've had mixed results updating on the iPod itself - one successful, one caused a restart. No restores required yet.

LUUU-KEYY!!!
And yes, to all of you critics, I know lucky is spelled like

My iPhone and iTunes have yet to be on the same page as far as updates go. One will say updates the other won't and back and forth like that. Also is anyone else running into the problem of iTunes ALWAYS showing that there is 1 update available then you click it and it says all your apps are up to date but keeps the 1 badge up. What gives? This needs fixed!
