Mac AppStore App Update

My Mac AppStore told me that I have an update for the Twitter app. When I try to update it brings up the sign in prompt but the Apple ID that preloads is an email address that I have never seen before. When I put in my credentials and hit install it brings up another prompt that says "Unkown Error". Then another prompt comes up the says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
I thought if I uninstalled and re-installed it that might do it but it turns out that I don't even have it installed to begin with. So I tried to install it without updating and I get the same problems.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong here?

Hey I think I found the solution or at least for me. Check out this website
http://www.ngpixel.com/2011/06/25/mac-app-store-you-have-updates-available-for-t he-other-accounts-bug/
At first I followed the instructions but it didn't work. But when i scrolled down I found Renso''s post, and fortunaetly it did work for me. Hope it will solve yours too!

  • What is the best way to handle a business full of Macs w/ app updates?

    So we have an office with OS X Server and about 20 macs. We're now on the era of App Store handling updates to the OS, among other things.
    This presents a problem, because the updates want an Apple ID, and will occasionally ask for credit card verification. The business owner is not going to want the entire office a) using his Apple ID and b) knowing the credit card details. Similarly, it will be madness to have each user apply and Apple ID and furnish their own credit cards.
    How can we address this problem?
    Thanks for reading!

    Sorry for the long delay. I figure one of two things here:
    1) volume licensing means more than buying one software product for a few machines or
    2) you exist in some sort of IT utopia where everyone has an identical machine and everyone gets updated at the same time.
    In my world, I've got computers, tablets, smartphones, and if they are apple they need updates. Most computers either came with Lion already installed, or have already been updated, so they don't need any new software purchased for them. A few are so old they can't be updated. Buying  a volume license for each of these devices would be wasting money. So I'm left with all these apple devices now all needing to be using apple id's in order to update, and the apple id's require credit cards associated with them. It's not a practical situation for a business to be in.

  • LP X not showing up in Mac AppStore for Update?

    Hi All
    I bought Logic Pro X a while back and have recently rebuilt my Macbook with Mavericks (clean install); I reinstalled it through copying the .app file from a backup.
    It then went online and downloaded all of the additional content as expected from Apple. About dialog box shows version 10.0.0 is installed. It works fine.
    I've tried to update it to 10.0.4 but when I go into the AppStore, its not listed in the Updates list and then if I click Logic in the top 10 paid downloads, its not listed as purchased?!
    I'm using the same AppleID I had before. I didn't try to update the previous install so not sure if it ever worked.
    Does anyone know if there is a different way to download the 10.0.4 update (maybe as a DMG or .app file?)
    Thanks Simmo

    Ok found the solutions to reinstalling Logic X from the App Store….
    1. First trash the App from your applications folder- command C + Command V paste to your desktop, then put it in the trash. You can't drag it to anywhere you get an Alias?
    2. Make sure you unmount any external HD in my case had Logic X projects on? 
    3. Then empty the trash.
    4. Go to the App Store and sign Out! Then close the app…
    5. Restart the computer in Safe Mode hold the shift key down? 
    6. Once your desktop is up power down again restarting the computer normally - your emptying the cache files etc. or so I am told.
    7. Once up and back to your normal desktop open the Apps Store - sign in and go to your purchases.  You may have to sign out then sign in again?
    With some Apple magic your Logic Pro X app should appear for INSTALL.  
    You will have to set everything up in Logic X again but hopefully you have a BK of your Key Commands?  Just import?
    It all appears a pain just to install Logic X again but it works.  Many of you may not need to go through the various things to get the App Store to work.  I did this with an Apple Logic X tech?  There well maybe other ways of skipping powering up and down etc.  At least you can reinstall and hopefully get rid of any previous bugs and problems?   Cheers Don H

  • Mac Appstore and Air, error: Application is invalid (missing required architecture)

    Hi all,
    I created a few Mac appstore apps with air in the past. Now suddenly when I try to upload my .pkg file to Apple with the Application Loader I get the following error:
    The application is invalid. The executable ((null)) is missing a required architecture. At least one of the following architecture(s) must be present: 1386, x86_64.
    I don't really get it: somehow an architecture is missing. I build the file with Adobe Flash Professional CS6 and Air 3.6 and signed the files the way I always do.
    Does anyone have any clue what's going on here?
    Thanks a lot!

    Do you have one of those newer Macs which require a special update? From other posts, it seems there are now three different OS versions/updates - each one of specific Macs.
    I'd call Apple and give them your serial number as well as - important - your build number (click on the Apple and About this Mac; under Mac OS X, click on the numbers until you get to build .......)
    Here are two that might be for your model:

  • Getting access to appstore apps I downloaded on a different Mac

    I purchase a few appstore apps on Saturday, and then very shortly after migrated myself to a new computer. How do I get back the apps I have already purchased

    I'd also like to know what to do. I usually sync with my mac at work, but was home when the 2.0 update came out. I bought 1 app and installed 5-6 free apps, and synced them with my home pc. When I came to work on Sunday, it asked if I'd like to transfer my purchases to the computer. When I hit "OK", instead of syncing them it deleted them. When I go home I was able to put them all back, but lost all my data on SplashID.
    This can't be how they want it to work, can it?

  • Update iLife '11 via Mac AppStore

    I bought a new MacBook Pro from the Apple Retail Store (late 2011 MBP '13) and i signed in with my Apple ID. Now the Mac AppStore shows up with an Update for iPhoto '11 and when I want to install, it says: "Please login with the App ID you used to buy iLife '11. But I only got 1 Apple ID and my iCloud ID. I tried both, nothing happens. Do I have to do something special or resetting permissions or so..?!

    I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro
    Congratulations!
    Everything is great---except when alerted to updates for iMovie and/or iPhoto I'm instructed: "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it".
    NO need to re-purchase. Launch the App Store from the Applications folder or dock icon. Follow as the alert instructed, i.e., sign in with your Apple ID and password. Click on the Updates icon (near the top of the App Store window). The Updates window will list iPhoto and iMovie. Click the UPDATE button for each.
    Note: This is based on my experience with having iLife 11 on disk prior to getting a new MBP last July.)
    Hope this helps.

  • Mac Appstore can't find new updates

    Hello,
    when there are updates from Apple available, the Mac Appstore on my Macs (iMac, MacBook Pro) can't find them, unless I switch to an admin-account.
    Is this behaviour normal? Before Mountain Lion, I could update my Apps from any account.
    Greetings
    Joerg

    Thank you.
    But the problem is: Mac Appstore won't even show me that there are updates available, if I'm not running the admin-account. If I didn't read Apple News sites, I wouldn't know and these updates would never be installed, because I usually don't use my admin-account.
    Before Mountain Lion, Mac Appstore would show the updates and ask for my admin-password if I tried to install them.
    So I guess there is something wrong with Mac Appstore on my system.
    Greetings

  • My software update shows that no update is available for my machine.  It shows that it is running Snow Leopard 10.5.8, downloads for the 10.6.8 update will not open.  I am trying to get the mac store app so I can upgrade to Lion.

    I have not been successful in obtaining the latest version of Snow Leopard so I have the Mac Store app.  My computer shows that there are no updates available even though it only shows it running version 10..5.8.  I would like to upgrade to Lion.  When I download the .dmg updates from the web, they try unsuccessfully to open in Itunes or Quicktime.  I can not get them to run.  What is my next step?

    As noted, in order to update from OS X 10.5.x to OS X 10.6.x you will need to acquire the retail package for OS X 10.6; that initial jump can not be done via download.
    The current shipping retail version for OS X 10.6 is 10.6.3. Once you have installed that you can update it to OS X 10.6.8 via the Combo Update - running Software UPdate should be able to fetch that for you. You can also download it directly -
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
    Once you have installed that you can download and install the update for OS X 10.7 (Lion).

  • My AppStore wont update my apps because my old iTunes account keeps coming up and asks for billing info HELP!!!

    My AppStore wont update my apps because my old iTunes account keeps coming up and asks for billing info HELP!!!

    Apps are always associated with the Apple ID that was used to purchase them. This cannot be changed. To avoid getting the request you are seeing delete all apps that request the former Apple ID and download them again.
    Any apps for which you paid a fee will require that you purchase them again.

    - You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost.  See:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    - You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup.  However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music.  You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

  • In AppStore.app for some reason when I try to update my apps, it asks for the wrong user account than the one that I am logged in with. This makes me unable to update my apps

    In AppStore.app for some reason when I try to update my apps, it asks for the wrong user account than the one that I am logged in with. This makes me unable to update my apps

    You would have downloaded those apps with the wrong Apple ID then created a new Apple ID which is the on you are on now. This is acting as normal because all content downloaded from the iTunes and App Store is attached to the Apple ID it was downloaded with. To stop this you would delete the apps and redownload them with your current Apple ID you are signed in with.
