App Store icon show update for apps that i did not install.

Hi, i seriously jammed with my head, my appstore show that there an update for this angry bird icon, but when i checked, i did not install any angry bird games on my macbook. how do i resolve this?

It's quite likely that your son is making in-app purchases. Many free or inexpensive games offer additional features - levels, coins, tools, weapons, etc. - that are purchased from within the game, and these purchases can be quite expensive or can add up very quickly. Check your Purchase History for your iTunes Store account; such purchases would be reflected there. If they are, then ask your son about this. There may be no fraud at all.
To prevent such unauthorized purchases from within an app, set the Restrictions on your son's iPhone to turn off In-App purchasing and, I'd recommend, to  the "immediate" setting for requiring a password for purchasing.
Regards.

  • App Store keeps showing update for program that has been uninstalled

    The App Store keeps showing an update available for Virus Barrier Express even after I have removed it completely from my system.  Going into the Purchased list shows it is not installed.  When the application was installed it always said there was an update.  No matter how many times you clicked Update and allowed it to download and install the update, the App Store still showed the update needed to be installed.
    On another machine it constantly shows an update for one of the installed applications but clicking the update button doesn't clear the update once it's been downloaded and installed.
    Deleting the App Store preference hasn't resolved the issue.  Enabling the debug menu and using the Reset Applications option has not either.

    I found out what was causing my problem (can't re-install an app that I deleted and which was purchased from the App Store). The app I was trying to re-install under Lion was Apple's Compressor v4 which is only available through the Mac App Store. However, even though I was booting from my one-and-only copy of Lion the Mac App Store was apparently getting confused by an old copy of Compressor v3.5 that was installed on another boot disk that I maintain for Snow Leopard. I'm running on a quad-disk Mac Pro so all four disks mount whenever I start the system. In any case, all I had to do was unmount the other disks and the Mac App Store then allowed me to install Compressor v4 on my Lion system.
    The reason I was able to pinpoint this solution is that I wanted to run another Mac App Store app (Find Any File) and even though the Store said it was "Installed" I couldn't find the application in either the Lion Application folder or within LaunchPad. I then realized that the App Store was referencing the copy of that app that was stored on my Snow Leopard disk and unmounting that disk finally allowed me to install both Compressor v4 and Find Any File on my actual/current boot disk (i.e. Lion).
    Now, the odd thing about this problem is that Compressor v4 wasn't installed on any of my disks, it was the older version of Compressor (v3.5.3) that apparently was preventing me from installing the new version 4 on my Lion system. In fact, Compressor v3.5.3 crashes immediately under Lion so that version of the app isn't even usable when I'm running Lion.
    So, if you're having a problem with installation or app removal or updates from the Mac App Store try dismounting any other disks which you might have attached to your Mac and see it that solves your problem. If it does solve the problem then you can almost be assured that the cause of your difficulty is some file that is present on one of your other disks (i.e. app may not even be on your current boot disk).

  • App Store icon shows updates available, but all apps up to date

    Just bought Iphone 5c, second day, App store icon shows updates available, but PC, store and other Iphones show none.  Tried resetting, updates to ios 8.02, synching, going through each app individually to see if there is an update, no luck.
    Wnen I reset, the icon shows a badge with 7 updates available.  I opened App Store, bottom right (update icon) showed the same.  Tapped it, the update screen appears (as normal), and the 7 on the update icon disappeared, screen says UPDATES All apps are up to date.  However, on the home screen, the App store badge still shows 7 updates.
    Anyone else having the same prob?  What is the fix?

    Tried that, tries a soft reset, and a hard reset, no luck.  Funny thing is, my other iphones and IPad work fine, its just the Iphone 5.

  • Why does App Store icon show updates ready, but no updates show on update tab

    My home screen started showing that I had updates on the App Store icon, three days ago. Next day it showed three, then four and now it shows five updates, but when I go to Updates tab, I get just blank screen.

    There are a number of threads on this topic, not only for iPad but for iPhone as well. Appears to be an issue on Apple's side (not on our device). Not all users are being effected (I've had no issues whatsoever, for example). Nothing specific to this is reported on the Sytems status page (http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/), so the general assumption is that you need to wait it out.
    You might try a search to see if there any possible solutions or steps needed to re-establish the link to itunes/app stores. Sometimes after this sort of outage there are some actions that help get you reconnected more quickly. not sure if that is the case with this one.

  • Why is App Store Icon Showing Update Needed?

    My App Store icon at the bottom of my desktop is showing I have 1 update available. When I go to the App Store the update is for an App that already has the most recent update (SmartReporter). How do I get rid of that annoying update (1) notice?

    2011 MBP i5 Mavericks
    I had the same problem. App store alerted me of the iMovie update. I updated shut down and restarted, the update was reflected in the last 30 days, and it also indicated that I needed to update iMovie, having the red indicator. I checked my applications and I had the iMovie 9.09, and the current iMovie version. I deleted Both the older version, and the newer version of iMovie, emptied the trash, closed all open programs, and then pressed the off button to shut down. Waited 30 seconds and pressed the on button, waited for everything to load then click the apple in the top left ,click on software update and the red indicator was GONE. Although I have never used the application, in my compulsive nature I just downloaded it again and no red indicators. I hope this helps my fellow Apple User having the same problem : )

  • Mac app store always shows updates for not installed apps

    Hi,
    I've got fresh install of 10.7.1 (replaced hdd, installed via Restore OS usb flash drive). Everything works properly, except of Mac App Store.
    For some reason it shows me as updates all apps I ever purchased. Installed and updated to latest version, as well as not installed yet.
    Any way to fix this?
    Thanks!

    iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone.  You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone.  You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account.  iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
    iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac.  When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account.  You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar.  If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

    Hey Duddy1888,
    Thanks for the question. Try changing your payment information to “None”. If you are unable to select “None” as a payment option, see the following resource:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366
    Using an existing iTunes Store or App Store account
    If you have an unpaid balance or payment due, you can't select None as your payment type. To see which order you need to pay for, view your purchase history. When you sign in to the store, you may see a message that there was a billing issue with your last order. Click the Billing Info button to see the order.
    After you pay for the order, you can change your payment information to None.

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

  • HT203167 My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install?

    My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install? You can't delete it so where is it?

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Cannot download OSX Maverick? My current system is Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and even when logged into the app store I'm getting the message that I can not download at this time. Try Later?

    Are you connected via wifi? If so, and it is an option, try connecting using a ethernet cable. It sometimes seems to help as it can give a more reliable connection for the 5.3gb download.
    If you do manage to download it you may want to make a copy of the installer file - which gets downloaded to the Applications folder - before running it as it self-deletes on successful installation. It may save you another monster download in the future.
