 * Hello, my admin bar always shows that an update is pending. Is this happening
   to everyone, or just me?
 * If it’s just me, what residual data is causing this? Here is a link to a screenshot:

 * Thank you!

 * It’s just you, I’m afraid. Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress.

 * Thank you, I was hoping it was something on my end. I used the resetting the 
   plugin folder link and this showed me the problem. Slickr Flickr needed an update
   but for some reason was not registering properly. Once I disabled all, it showed
   up.
 * Thank you!
