i used cleanapp to remove the app ... is it the removal is not 100% or else?...
please advise for a solution...

You may have 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 alert. 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 by pressing the key combination command-C.
In the Finder, press 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.

App Store keeps asking me to update to iTunes 11.1.3, even though that's what I'm already running

Every time my app store program automatically checks for updates, it wants me to update to iTunes 11.1.3, even though I already have -- many times (and the App Store shows this, in the "updates run in the past 30 days" window). In fact I am running iTunes 11.1.3 right now. What's the problem?

Hi scoolio,
Right off the top of head, I can think of two places where "check automatically for updates" can be selected or deselected by the user.
The first is within the Software Update preferences Pane where one can select daily, weekly or monthly or none.
Myself I never allow my computer to update anything automatically; rather I conservatively choose doing such things manually to keep my my meager Snow Leopard happily purring.
The second place that I never select auto check for updates is within iTunes itself.
I don't know about the App Store. I have found that place to be problematic... so I stay away from it unless I absolutely need to update something that I purchased there. BTW, I'm not happy with the way that the App store is evolving. I guess one could say that it is set-up in a planned obsolescence kind of way. Hoops. Jumping. We don't like it.
Nonetheless, I would check out the 2 checkboxes that I mentioned just for the sake of knowing how they are set. If that doesn't help then you know it could be the current App Store iteration - which I don't have.

mm~

IMovie is already on the latest version. App store keeps asking me to update to the latest version (10.0).

I really do not know how I got into this state. Basically, my iMovie is on version 10. But when I go to App Store update, it says I have to update to version 10 (Same version). I hit the update button. The update button went inactive for a few seconds and came back (does not say "Updating"). But when I go to launchpad, it's starting to download iMovie. How can I remove this update from the App Store?

The same is happening to me right now, but with GarageBand.
It seems to be an issue with the App Store app on the Mac, which Apple has to solve somehow.
I just leave this "update" as is until the App Store app with notify me with a real update in the "Updates" section.

App store keeps asking for my credit card info for free apps!??

Every time I go to get a free app, I keep getting asked for my credit card info to be updated. If it's free, why is my credit card info needed!?? I don't want to get charged, so I cancel out of the credit card request, it's not worth trying to get unwanted charges taken off. I would write to Apple but for some strange reason they refuse to use email for help. So, guess I will just try here.
Thanks,
Jim

Hello All,
Even I do faced same issue on my iphone 5 recently, because I had updated my credit card details while purchasing 'whats app'. Later on if I try do down load free apps, it started asking me verify payment info..I got frustrated and tried to remove apple id and create the same id and reset networksettings, but issue not resolved.!!
Possible scenarios of it occures:
1. While creating your apple id you might have given credit card info an dlater that got modified/expired
2. Once you buy anything by using credit card that info will be updated to your apple id, so it asks every time
Resolution:
Just remove your credit card details from payment information
setting > icloud > account > payment information -- remove ur credit card info , done done
Then try to download free app, it will only asks for apple password, It will not ask for 'payment verification'
Thank you
Krish

My app store keeps asking for me to update my payment method as its about to expire so i enter my details and it keeps saying card declined , why is this ?

my iphone app store keeps asking me to update my payment method every time a go to download something from the store , it says my method is about to expire so when i re-enter my card information it keeps saying that my card is declined , why is this?

What sort of card are you trying to use ?
If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

App Store keeps asking me to download update for "Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client

Hi, the App Store keeps asking me to download the update Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client so I am unsure why it is asking me to and worry that someone is trying to spy on me! Does anyone know why this is? Thanks in advance!

I find it interesting that since Screen Sharing is available, and works "just fine" that a Remote Desktop Client would be needed to be installed.
I installed it, but I'm not sure why.
I found the updated application in /System/Library/Core Services/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent
Which is also where the screen sharing and vnc bundles live. I clicked on it to see what would happen -- nothing.
I found these ports in another discussion
TCP and UDP port 3283
TCP and UDP port 5900. (Also used for Screen Sharing in OSX 10.5 and later)
port 22
This page confirms their use along with the use of other ports:
TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products - Apple Support
Additionally TCP port 5432 is used by ARD
Having recently noticed (through "network utility" that my computers have had a "ton" of open connections.
This severely hurt system performance.
I note that neither my Airport Express nor my Mac can set up a firewall on these ports.
While I haven't noticed the ARD ports being used, I cannot help but wonder if this is set up for a CIA/NSA backdoor into my computers.
On a less paranoid level, perhaps Apple is planning on adding on-line help to debug our problems in "real-time". ;-)

I curently have credit on my itunes account. However when I try to purchase an app, it keeps asking me to update billing info. Why is this when I have credit ?

I curently have credit on my itunes account. However when I try to purchase an app, it keeps asking me to update billing info. Why is this when I have credit ?

To purchase from iTunes you are required to fill in an address section under the billing info. You don't have to put in a credit card, just a name and address, so that iTunes can send you receipts later.
I had to do this when I first started buying things from iTunes, you just go to Account>Billing Address> Edit

App Store keep asking to update for 10.9.4 and its already installed

Hello ,
In the past two days App Store keep telling me to update for 10.9.4 and its already installed on my laptop . and if i press to download App Store is downloading the whole mavericks again which is 5.* GB .
in order to try solving the problem i went to apple website and downloaded the update manually 10.9.4 that fixes the same bugs , and i installed it . but App Store keep telling me to update something that its already installed !!! any suggestion please ?
I'm using MacBook Pro 2011 late .
8 GB Memory
The existing OS X is 10.9.4 .
Thanks ,

@Barney-15E : i have only one hard disc divided into two partitions one for mac and the other for windows so i think its not a problem !!
@quarkdoll : The thing I'm having is that the update pop's out sometimes and tells me to "Update to 10.9.4 as i said above" and mostly its telling me "No Update Available" . its really confusing !!
Thanks !

Why does app store keep asking for sercurity code

Why does the app store keep saying invalid sercurity code when I keep putting in the right code?

Hello!
It might sound strange at first, but it might be related to your cookie settings in Safari. To see if this is true, open Safari and proceed to the Safari prefences by clicking on the Safari menu - to the right of the classic apple-menu - and choosing Preferences.
Click the Privacy tab.
Make sure your cookie-preferences are NOT set to "never" or "block always"
Set to your preferred cookie option, restart your computer once, and see if your issue has been resolved.

Dear ED3K:
First: I hope you don't work for Apple as you have some poor communication skills in assistance. That said, I would never in a million years pay you 45 dollars to help me. I think I would sleep with Satan first!!
No one here works for Apple. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. You tend to get from this forum what you bring to it. If you come in ranting and raving and saying you're going to throw your iPhone out the window and that Apple is mean, people are not likely to respond to you with sweetness and light and puppies and kittens.
If you really want help, I'd suggest you take a deep breath and then start a new thread in which you explain the problems you're having, the steps you've taken to resolve the problems, any error messages you've gotten. Stick to the facts. Check the attitude and emotion at the door. People will do their best to help you.
Best of luck.

When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages. When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates.

When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages. When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates. Any ideas?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

App Store says there is one update available. But the Updates page shows a blank screen. Have tried syncing with iTunes on mac as well. But nothing seems to work. Am using Iphone 5 6.1.4. Help

Next time that happens while on WiFi, turn WiFi off in settings, wait about 30 seconds or so, then turn WiFi back on. Sometimes you have to do this two or three times, but this fixes that issue as well.

You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor. Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.
