You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.

  • I ppurchased music and when I click on it to download it says I did not use my apple ID.  What do I do now?

    I purchased music yesterday from the I tunes store and they show up on my purchased items but will not download because it says I did not use the correct apple ID.
    What do I do now to get them to download?
    Thank you

    I'm not sure what the problem is here.  What exactly did the error message say?  Are you typing your Apple ID password incorrectly?

  • Have personal Apple ID account which allows me to download apple apps but when I go to update the apps Apple ID pops up thats not mine and cannot log in to update apps.  Brand new IPAD never any other user

    Have personal Apple ID account which allows me to download apple apps but when I go to update the apps Apple ID pops up thats not mine and cannot log in to update apps.  Brand new IPAD never any other user

    Is the AppleID listed in Settings --> Store and Settings --> iCloud the same?
    If it is a totally different ID and not a slight variation of yours, I would definitely take it back to the store. You may have bought a returned item that had been setup previously.

    There have been a few reports on here where Corsair RAM seems to have caused users a lot of grief with crashes.
    The recommendation on here, mostly, is to only buy RAM from macsales.com or crucial.com as they guarantee their modules will work and offer a no quibble lifetime guarantee.
    I'd put the original RAM back in, return the Corsair chips for a refund and re-order from one of those two companies.

    You should change your AppleID password NOW. And if it says it was registered under another AppleID, the thief has probably done it.

    Hello Donna,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. If you are having issues completing your app updates, you may want to make sure you can otherwise access the iTunes Store/iOS App Store. You may want to try the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    If the iOS version listing in your post profile is correct (iOS 8.0.2), you may also want to make sure that your iPhone is updated to the most recent version of iOS:
    Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Sincerely,
    - Brenden

  • Why won't my apps update - I have 7 updates waiting to go and when you click on any of the apps, they say installing but have never finished?

    Why won't my apps update on my ipad? I have 7 updates waiting to go and when I click on them they all say they are installing but they have never completed their installation?  Please help

    Try resetting ...
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
    You won't lose any data as a result of a reset.

  • How do I get into my iPhoto app on my Mac.  It says it's locked and when I put in my apple password it tells me it is not valid and locks me out.

    How do I get into my if app?  It says it's locked and when I put i my apple password it tells me it is to valid and locks me out.  I tell it to repair it and it still doesn't work.  I never changed it and I assume it should be the same as my apple password.  Can some one please help me?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    what is the exact message? A screenshot of the message window would suffice.
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

    Hi
    A little information will be of a great help, witch iPhone did you upgrade, memory , and version of software ( iOS 8.x.x )?
    Try restarting you iPhone and make sure you have a god internet connection , get as close to your wifi router (1-3 meter / 2-9 feet ) as possible. Don't use restore to factory  settings before you tried other options .  And most imported du you have an iCloud backup.

  • Droid Razr M , after update to 4.4.2 my "Phone" widget on my homepage no longer works.. shows android and when I click on it  says "app not installed"

    hello all, I just got my phone on Monday, this morning I was prompted to update the software, when I did, my homepage "phone app" no longer works.  It now shows the android robot above the word "phone" and when I click on it, it says "app isnt installed"

    It needs to be updated or reinstalled, i would just go ahead and do a reset on the phone although probably should check your "playstore" first and at the top left there should be 3 horizontal lines click, then my apps, then anything that still says update go ahead and update. then turn phone off and on. doesn't work. can try holding a place on mainscreen where there is no icon and add widget should come up and see if there it is in there just looks different or something . if not factory reset

    Thanks for your advice, I went to the apple shop today for a face to face meeting with a tech and he checked everything and could not figure out why I was having this problem so we decided to give up on that account and create a whole new one for me using a different email address.
    Now I can download apps on both my iPhone and ipad2.
    If anyone is reading this in Brisbane Australia go to the Chermside apple shop and ask for Wade. He was fantastic!
