Update Not Available with This Userid - Maverick Numbers

Maverick installed on my iMac and all updates installed except Numbers. Whenever I try to update it I get a message saying, "Update not available for this userid." The Pages update went just fine. I installed both using the only Apple ID that I have ever had. Updates before installing Maverick (Mountain Lion) worked just fine. What now?

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
Step 1
A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
Step 2
If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 3
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 4
From the App Store menu bar, select
          Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.

  • IPhoto & iMovie update not available with this Apple ID

    Hi everyone - I'm at a loss as to how to fix this issue...
    I'm trying to update iPhoto and iMovie from the Mac App Store but I get the following error message:
    Update unavailable with this Apple ID: 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've read the other threads about the apps being 'linked' to previous Apple IDs so I logged out and back in with an older / previous Apple ID that I had used before but it still wouldn't allow the update to the two apps - in fact the App Store said that the older ID hadn't even been used in the App Store.
    I updated my OS to Yosemite yesterday so I don't know if that's affected anything?
    Really hope someone can help - it's starting to frustrate me!
    Cheers
    Neil

  • I cannot update iPhoto as I receive a message saying update not available for this Apple ID as either it was bought by a different user or was cancelled

    I have inherited my daughters Macbook Air and am trying to update i photo. The message I receive is - update not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by another user or item was refunded or cancelled.
    I have tried her ID which was still unsuccessful.
    I cannot access my photos at all. Can anyone help?

    Hi Queenstown2014,
    Sign onto her Apple/iTunes ID in the iTunes Store. Then click on the iTunes ID and then on Account in the dropdown. Once you have her account screen displaying, scroll to the bottom and click on RESET next to the line "Reset All Warnings for Buying and Downloading", then try again (with her iTunes ID still signed on).

  • Upgraded to Yosemite,  Created new apple ID as couldn't remember last one now can't update iPhoto receive message this update not available for this apple Id either because it was bought by a different user or item refunded or cancelled.

    upgraded to Yosemite and now can't update Iphoto or Imovies receiving message this update not available for this apple ID because it was bought by a different user or item refunded or cancelled.  Is there an easy fix

    Unfortunately, anything obtained at the app store remains tied to the Apple ID used to obtain it forever. You will either have to start over with your new ID or try to recover the original ID.

  • Update not available for this Apple ID

    I keep getting this notification that the app 'Nyan Cat' needs to be updated, while I have never had or bought this app. When I try to update, I get 'Update not available for this Apple ID'. Is there anyway to remove this "update"?
    Thanks!

    Hi rafpbr!
    You may want to try to search your device for this app then delete it. You can use this article to utilize spotlight search and find the app:
    iOS: Understanding Spotlight Search
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3636
    Then you can use the information in this link to delete the app:

  • "Update not available for this id" after Yosemite upgrade

    Hello,
    I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) 2,53 GHz Intel Core i5.
    I upgraded O/S from Maverick to Yosemite. Now I try to perform latest update, and iMovie, Numbers, Keynote, Pages are listed in the Update list.
    However each time I try to update them, AppStore refused with the error "Update is not available for this id..."
    I did not change Apple Id since a long time, and performed latest update on Maverick before doing the upgrade.  I checked the "Purchases" tab, these applications are not listed, not sure they were listed before the upgrade. I tried to sign out / sign in with my apple id, still same issue.
    Anyone encountered same trouble ? What is the solution to fix this ? 
    Thanks,

  • I updated my OS and now can't update.  It says update not available for this Apple ID

    I updated to Yosemite and now I get: "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."  Any idea how to get my update to work?

    Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
    1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept the applications into your Apple ID, do so.
    2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
    3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
    4. Buy them.

  • Software update not available at this time

    When installing my iOS 7 it says that the update is not available at this time. I have it fully downloaded and I just press install and it gives me this error. Any ideas?

    The error is not a failure to download.  Once downloaded, you hit the "Install" button, agree to the terms and conditions, and the phone begins verifying the update.  After about a minute or two of attemting to verify, this error comes up:
    "Software Update Unavailable: Software Update is not available at this time.  Try again later."
    That's my experience at least.

  • HT4305 "Update in available with this Apple ID" why do I get this error when my Apple ID is correct

    I restored my phone to the last backup point to see if I could regain a deleted contact. Now I when trying to update apps I get the a over error. How do I correct this?

    Several users are putting up "me too" posts, so it's starting to look like it might be a glitch at Apple's end.  Give it a day or two. I have yet to see an urgent update.

  • I have just installed firefox 4 andnotice that there is no dropdown feature on the back/forwrd buttons. is this not available with this version or can it be activated somehow?

    my previous version of firefox had a drop
    down arrow that enabled me to go back to a location of my choice, often further back than what the 'back' button gives. can anything be done about this?

    It's only the little caret next to the back button that's gone. If you click and hold on the back button, it will still drop down.
