Error message "not owned major version of software"

Hi, when trying to download app updates I receive the following message "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of the software".  I have never experienced this problem before the iOS 6 software upgrade on my iphone.  Any help as to why this message is appearing would be gratefully received.
Many thanks

This can occur if you bought the machine used and iLife was reinstalled with another AppleID.
This also can occur if the "free apps" you downloaded have paid upgraded versions and/or are now payware and you can't get updates.
All software from MAS is copy protected, it might be free as in "no charge" but it's not free in the sense you can share it with others.

  • Cant update apps. says I've not owned major version when i am only owner.

    I cannot update my apps.  Apple says You Can't update this software since you have not owned the major version.  I am the only owner.
    I've had this probelm before trying to upgrade apps.

    I had the same problem after replacing a hard drive in my computer. It turns out that I couldn't update the apps because they weren't downloaded onto my hard drive after reinstalling the new one.
    In iTunes, click on "Apps" in the left column. Then click on "All" in the top nav bar. See if the apps you can't update are listed. If not, find them in the store and redownload them (you shouldn't have to repay for them if you purchased them in the past with the same iTunes account). Once you've got all your apps showing in the "All" window, you should be able to update them.
    It would be nice if Apple reinstalled and updated purchased apps rather than give that cryptic message. Hope that helps.

  • HT2404 When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying: You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." But I do own the apps. And I haven't changed my ID

    When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software".
    But I HAVE owned the software, for ages. (And, in any case, the apps in question are all free.)
    And I don't have multiple Apple IDs.
    What can I do?
    Any advice much appreciated

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

    The answer is in the guide, please read it carefully:

    You can turn on extreme debugging as well. The problem is always with the publisher failing to follow specs; inform them to do so.

    I want to display an error message if the New Version created while making any changes in a PO is not ticked Completed in the Header--> Versions. Please tell me in detail how can this be done?

  • Error message when downloading latest version

    Any idea why I am getting error messages when updating the version of iTunes?

    :-(  Same error message.  "Errors occured white installing the updates.  If the problem persists, choose Tools> Download Only and try installing manually."
    That's odd. That's normally a message you get from Apple Software Update, not one that you get when you installer using an iTunes64Setup.exe downloaded from the Apple website.
    Can you walk us through what happens when you download and run the installer from this link?

  • Error Message: Not enough memory for operation.

    Hi All,
    I'm having problem when try to connect to Oracle DB, check my details as below :

    Database Expert : Using Stored Procedure to populate data to excel.
    Server Used: DBCCSWST125.reportjobserver 
    Error Message: Not enough memory for operation
    Problem occurred when I tried to use stored procedure in my rpt file.
    Thanks.

    You are using multiple versions and it's still not clear what is happening but the CR 2008 reports should not be published to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2. CR 2008 has functionality that XI R3 does not support.
    Create reports in CR XI R2 for BOE R2.
    Also, your version of Enterprise has not been patched. You should have a Support contract which will allow you to get into our Gated site and update BOE. Then it may work but check with your administrators first before patching BOE.
    Thank you

  • Error message "not digitally signed or not signed in the appropriate manner

    My computer keeps crashing and I discovered that it is not recognizing a hardware device.  The device is the printer.  When I check further, it asks for driver updates and when I try to do that, I get an error message "not digitally signed or not signed in the appropriate manner.  
    I have no idea how to fix this since I am the administrator and I have an HP laptop too.  Any help is great.
    Thanks,
    Sonja

    Welcome to the community, Sonja! Aka @sonipsl 
    I have personally ran into the error message you are receiving before that states "not digitally signed or not signed in the appropriate manner", and I had posted a solution to it as well. I would like for you to see the steps that had fixed the problem in my first link below. You will notice that you will have to download the correct drivers for your printer, the Photosmart B210a model, and that link is also below.
    Click this link and try the steps in my post: Solution! Re: Getting Error when updating Driver for D110a
    This is link to get your drivers for your printer model: HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers
    I hope this does the trick! Please write me back to let me know the outcome

  • Getting an error message that unable to check for software update when trying to download new iOS 8.0.2 update ?? Can someone help ???

    Getting an error message of unable to
    check for software update when trying to update to
    ios 8.0.2. Can someone help ??

    Howdy there otss1979,
    It sounds like you are unable to download the iOS 8.0.2 update either, over the air, or using iTunes. If you are updating the software on your phone in Settings > General > software update I would recommend starting with this article:
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
    If you are using iTunes, I would use this article instead:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    If you are getting a specific error number, the following article will help you get that resolved:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    If this does not resolve the issue, could you please write the error message you are getting word for word for me?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    iTunes is a program on your computer, it is not "the Internet".  The fact that the program runs has no bearing on Internet connectivity.
    Maybe if a little more information was supplied, like version of the Operating system on the computer and version of iTunes, then a little more assistance could be provided.

  • My face time isn't working on my desktop. I keep getting an error message saying this beta version of facetime has expired.

    my facetime on my desktop keeps giving me an error message.   This beta version of facetime has expired.

    Can you clarify what Mac and Mac OS you really have? Facetime was introduced in 2010, four years after PowerMacs were discontinued. And "iOS" is not an computer OS.
    Doing "About this Mac" will show your processor type and OSX version. That should help us figure out if you need to be moved to a different forum.
