Why is the app store asking me to sign in to update apps when I'm already signed in?

Because you bought them under a different Apple ID.

Why does the itunes store ask for passwords to different accounts?

Sometimes when I sign on to buy something at the iTunes store it will ask me for a password to an old.mac account. Then in ther cases it will ask me for a more current account.
And how do I combine all of the ourchaes from both these accounts into one?

You can't currently combine accounts, nor transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that account will be able to authorise its content, re-download it, and/or download updates to its apps.

When i open ibook, the iTunes store asks for my password. it goes away when i press cancel or when i put in my password. why is this happening?

When I open IBook, the ITunes store asks for my password. It goes away when I press cancel or enter my password. It seems unnecessary to me. Why is it doing this? I already paid for the book.

If you are trying to update information for your apple id then go to appleid.apple.com and click on manage your apple ID... you'll probably have to enter your old email address/password

Why is the app store requesting billing info for a "Free" app? The app is Pinger desktop

If you have a None payment option, choose that.

App store asks me to sign in constantly. why?

app store asks me to sign in constantly. why?

Hello!
I suggest that if this problem is on your Mac, in order to solve this problem, we trash the /sc info/ folder using the Terminal command below:
Open a Terminal window - for example by searching for the word terminal via Spotlight (the magnifying glass in the top right corner of your computer display) - and copy-paste the line below:
sudo rm -Ri /Users/Shared/SC\ Info/
Enter your password after pressing return. Note that your will not see that you're typing, so no stars or dots like: *** You'll have to enter the password blindly and press return once you’re finished.
After doing this, restart your computer, open iTunes and authorize one last time.
For your education, so you know what we’re doing: this /sc info/ folder stores your authorizations. So deleting the folder and restarting the Mac will force a fresh version to be created. This fresh version will not have any of the errors or corruptions which are probably causing this issue.
Issue solved?
If the problem is on your iPhone, restart or reset the iPhone: Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

HT5622 Why is the App Store declining my active Visa card when trying to download a fee app?

Why dose the App Store keep declining my Visa card when trying to download free apps? The card information is accurate and there is money on it? It's driving me crazy!!!

Is your card still in date? Is the info Apple have valid?
i.e. have you made a purchase recently on the app store that was all OK?
I tried to download an app on my phone the other day using credit that was already applied to my account from a voucher. It asked me to update my card details (which I didn't have on me) which was frustrating as I wasn't even paying by those means!
In the end I went home and downloaded it from my computer and it was all OK. If you have itunes on your comp, try downloading through that and see if you have any joy that way.

Why is the app store so SLOW?

Whenever I bring up the App Store application, it takes ages to load. I just closed App Store and started it again, and it took a full TWO MINUTES for "featured" items to come up. Whenever I try to download something, it takes way longer than any other major download site I use.
I live in Japan, use the Japan App Store, and am on a 30mbs connection. So why does the App Store take so long to load and download?

Has it always been like that?

HT2589 Why did the App store make me purchase Pages again? I already bought Pages, Keynote and Numbers for my Ipad and I want to download them on my Mac Book Pro and they aren't in the purchases tab.

Why did the app store make me purchase Pages again? I already bought Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my Ipad and want to download them onto my Mac Book and they aren't in the purchases tab. I thought I would try clicking on the buy button for Pages, thinking, it would say I already purchased this app, but it didn't. Where are all my purchases? I used the same Apple ID I use for all my Apple devices. Help! I really don't want to buy them all again.

The version of Pages, Keynote and Numbers for the Mac will be different than the iOS version and will require a separate purchase.

Why is the app store selling Photoshop Elements 10

Hello
I don't understand why, at the Apple Store, they are selling Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 and if you search on Photoshop Elements 11, it produces no result.
The download available at Adobe is 11, not 10 and the US Apple Store also has 11.
It can be bought from Adobe, but what is the reason for Apple not selling and which would be the better buy, 10 or 11?
Can anyone provide an answer, please?

The version at the App store is different so as to comply with apple rules.
It also takes a while to get it through the system.
With the apple store version there are usually no upgrade options you must purchase the next version again.
With adobe you can usually get an upgrade price. (do you save money????)
Whatever the two versions are not the same.
cheers Elo

Why is the app store downloading a complete OS x Lion to my 10.7.3 late 2011 MBA?

My Macbook Air 10.7.3 seems to be operating well. Why is the App store completely updating my os? (4.04GB download)

If you have a copy of an older installer left on your system, it's updating the installer to 10.7.3.

The HT5312 page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset (these are user-to-user forums).

When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use
