I purchased a refurbished Mac Book Pro last summer. I tried updating iMovie but it says I must log in with the ID used to purchase it. I have no other ID. How do I correct this?

  • I purchased refurbished and it has a apple id that is not mine, how do I change to my account

    I purchased a refurbished ipod touch for my son, it looks great and is working however, when trying to go to app store, the device still has a apple ID that is not mine. HOw can I delete this and add to my account. My son had a touch and it got wet and ruined. We were hoping to download from itunes that we already have downloaded

    You should be able to do it through Itunes.

  • Brand new macbook and unable to update apps.

    Hi. I am a new macbook owner, and I have six apps that need to be updated. Every time I go to the app store and click "update," it says: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."  I don't understand why, because I have used the same Apple ID for everything since I bought the notebook.  This began happening after I installed the new iOS update, Yosemite.
    Thanks.

    Are you using a cable like this one or an adapter like this? If you're using the latter then many people have reported troubles, however the former works quite well.
    You can also use Time Machine to restore, so if your old machine is hooked up to an external HD setup for TM use that.
    I'd recommend you look over Pondini's overview on Setup Assistant Tips.

  • Jump from Sales Order to Purchase Order and back again (all in change mode)

    Hi,
    Situation is this:
      - Sales Order is created with 10 items. 4 items are created with connection to Purchase Order.
      - User open Sales Order in change mode
      - User goes to item 20 that has a related Purchase Order
      - User wants to jump to related Purchase Order and make an update here
      - User wants to be able to jump back to Sales Order Item 20 from Purchase Order
    When user jumps to Purchase Order in change mode, then this Purchase Order will also block the same Sales Order, that was open. This can be handled with dequeue and enqueue.
    Problem is that when Purchase Order is saved it will make an update to the Sales Order in the background. When user jumps back to Sales Order then this Sales Order is still open with old data and these data does not reflect data that can have been updated by the Purchase Order.
    Also: When Purchase Order is making updates to the Sales Order then e.g. Message Out Table NAST is automatically updated (insert and delete records). If user then manually updates the Sales Order with old information, then System Dump appears as Sales Order tries to insert NAST records, that have already been inserted or delete NAST records that have already been deleted via the Purchase Order.
    This means that when user jumps back from Purchase Order to Sales Order Item 20 then Sales Order needs to be refreshed with new data after Purchase Order has saved the Sales Order.
    Are there any solution to do this in a standard way (from within SAPMV45A) ?  
    I prefer not to reopen Sales Order using syntax like CALL TRANSACTION.

    Hi,
    Thanks for reply.
    In third party PR gets created automatically but PO gets create manually.So changes get refelect in PR only not in PO.
    Can you give me the solution for completing this task.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Unable to update application from App Store

    I bought a used mac mini and I was viewng the App Store and wanted to purchase IPhoto app but it was purchase previously and could not update because not associated with my Apple ID.  The error message reads I would need to purchase it again  My issue I have it the icon for the application just give me a the options to "update" and not purchase.  What do I need to do to purchase this app?

    You need to delete the app. The easiest way is to download the free app AppCleaner. Drag & drop the iPhoto icon on AppCleaner and it will find all of the related files and present them to you for deletion. After you have deleted iPhoto you can buy it for yourself.

  • Unable to update apps on iPad mini. I have even restored the iPad and now I can't download any of my previously purchased apps.

    Can someone help me. I am using an iPad mini with iOS 7.0.4 with wifi connection. Have had no problems until recently when I was unable to update apps and then noticed that some apps would open but no data would be available in apps like intelicast and Pinterest. I have restored the iPad and now I am unable to download any of my previously purchased apps.

    1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
    2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
    4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • After updating to  Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list.

    After updating to  Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. But no other appleID has ever been used on my computer, how could this be resolved?

    Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

    And is there any way to sync all my purchases and accounts to just have one... It is a bit stupid that you dont even get a list of something of what account you may of used, or some kind of hint, so you could log on to the right account. I am really stuck ...

    You can't merge accounts. But you can check your purchase history:

  • How do I retain my apps after I change my apple ID? Right now I'm unable to update any of the apps with the old apple ID. I get an error message about an invalid id or password. If I delete my apps and start over, I may lose the apps that I purchased...

    How do I retain my apps after I change my apple ID? Right now I'm unable to update any of the apps with the old apple ID. I get an error message about an invalid id or Password. If I delete my appos and start over, I may lose the apps that I purchased (like the ones for $5 +....

    Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
    If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
    you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.
