Help Update manager?

Ok, I opened up my app list and a couple of the apps had a little green arrow on them telling me they needed to be updated. I clicked one and it brought up an update manager page. Does anybody know how to get back to the update manager page? Not the my apps page in the market because some of my apps weren't downloaded from the Android Market.

Lol, it's driving me nuts that I can't find this anywhere. Searching through the phone, searches on the web, not showing anything at all. I had a good 5-6 apps that popped up on the update manager thing and I have no way of updating them without finding this again. Some were downloaded through the Samsung App store, others just don't show up in my market until I update them, so I don't know which apps need updating. Plus the little green arrows aren't showing up anymore. Is there another app that can be downloaded to do this?

I too have this this happen a few times and don't know which app is doing it, it happened to me this morning when I opened the app list, I had a few green arrows on some apps, I clicked one of them and it launched Android market for me to update. Like you I don't know how to get it back.
 
Not sure if I clearly understand teh question you are asking.

But I think you want to see a screen of Android - that shows all the apps that you need to update.

If so, when you have Android Market open, just hit the menu button on your phone. The 4 buttons at bottom, it's the furthest to the left, right next to your Home Screen touch button.

Then just select ( in the menu ) " MY APPS " and you'll have your list of updates available / apps installed on your phone / and apps you own but that are not on your phone.

Same process for Amazon App market btw.

I found the answer, are you using Go Launcher? if you are, then it's a feature in the app drawer settings called "App update info". I haven't found a way to bring that update manager screen up. That is a cool feature but would be nice if we could bring up that screen when we wanted too.
 
I had the same issue today, looked up this answer and then played around for a bit. You can access the same listing by opening GO Store. At the top of the opening window there is a circle with an arrow pointing up inside of it; it is just left of the search (magnifying glass) icon. Clicking on this arrow/circle icon takes you to the same app list that I found myself on when I selected an app with a green arrow. Hope this helps!
