App Store Shows One Update - can't seem to get to it.

[HungarianStan]

Like it says, my App Store icon on the task bar shows that one update is there. I open the app store and all the others tabs work fine - features, top charts, and so on. However, when I click the update tab, I get an:

Internal Server Error - Read: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Ref number....

What does this mean? What should I do? I'll try restarting now, but that's all I can think of. Ideas, comrades?

All Apple Stores have been down most of the day.

I was just looking at that myself.

Wow! The link you gave shows that the App Store, iTunes Store, Mac App Store and iBooks Store are all down, as of my time stamp now. Wacky? Any word why that is?

One of the news station was saying "server issues" @ 1pm EST.

Fascinating. Never would even think of that as a thing that could happen. I mean, to hit all the stores at once!

Well they are FRED's and liable to fail.

It was a DNS issue, according to one website quoting an Apple Rep.
