App in my app store updates that i did not purchase or download. ?

PLEASE HELP
i went into my app store (macbook) and proceded to update my updates. and i have found an app that i have never downloaded or purchased
i go into this app in the store and it shoes i do not have it (the price is still on the purchase label).  when i press update, there is a very foreign email request and i have never had anyone else log into my computer, nor my itunes account.
my question is how do i get this app out of my updates?

You installed a hacked application, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different application, downloaded from another account. You need to identify and remove the hacked application.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination 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 applications were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you know of, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
If any of the items listed in the search window are not listed among your purchases in the App Store, move them to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.

  • Since my software update none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes work on my iphone? It sees the songs but none play.  How do I resolve this issue?

    Hello,
    Since I updated my iphone none of my music that I did not purchase through itunes no longer works on my iphone.  It is weird, the music is on the iphone but in gray and the iphone does not recognize it.  The only songs that I could play are my songs that I downloaded on my phone that were purchased through itunes. 
    Another error: When I purchase a new song on itunes it doesn't put the song in my purchased playlist like it used too.  In order for me to play that song I just purchased I have to go back to the itunes store and play it directly from the place I purchased it from which is super annoying.
    Frankly I am really disappointed with the constant errors from upgrades that should be "Up grades" Not "down grades".  Not sure why is going on but not seems to work the same anymore.  Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with my iphone music?
    Thank you,
    Dago

    You will probably lose the music.
    Why is it not on your computer?
    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?

  • How do I delete music from the cloud that I did not purchase

    I have several songs on my iTunes library that I did not purchase. how do I delete these? There are some songs that are objectionable. Thanks

    Hi there fredfromclearwater,
    You can accomplish this by hiding your purchases in the iTunes Store. The article below has more information.

  • I have been receiving billings / charges from itunes that i did not purchased.

    i received several billings / charges to my account that i did not purchased from itunes. how can i make a formal report / complaint to itunes store?

    The most immediate thing you need to do is to call your credit card company and report the unauthorized charges. Your card company can contact Apple if they need additional information.
    Next, log into your iTunes Store account and see if the purchases are reflected in the Purchase History. If they are, immediately change the password to your iTunes Store account, making sure it's not something easily guessed or looked up. Then go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. 
    If the charges are not reflected in the Purchase History, then it's most likely a fraudulent charge to your credit card directly rather than an unauthorized purchase through your iTunes Store account in which case it will be up to your bank to handle.
    Regards.

  • How can I delete purchases from my itunes account that I DID NOT PURCHASE I have tried everything for a VERY LONG TIME please please help

    I have had an iTunes account for 3 years. I have tried for at least two years to delete these purchases that I did not purchase off my iTunes downloads. I have tried everything. I took iTunes off my computer, redownloaded . I have tried deleting and removing them. I do not know how they got there but everytime I go to download anything these 8 purchases start to download. I then have to pause them all and back to the agganizing termoil of trying to delete them off my account. Can you please please help meI am beyond aggrevated because nothing I do deletes these things off, and I have tried for two years with no results but more aggrivation.

    I would contact Apple Support either on the phone or via e-mail and have them check if they could remove these questionable purchases off your account.
    There is currently no way to do this on your own.
    And re-installing iTunes does not help as all the purchase info is stored on Apple's servers.

  • There is a bunch of music in my library under "purchased" that I did not purchase. where does this come from?

    there is a bunch of music in my library under "purchased" that I did not purchase. where does this come from?

    It is possible you accidently added these songs to it. Even though the Purchased playlist is kind of a smart playlist you can still drag and drop songs from your library into it.

  • Deleting songs that I did not purchase.

    I purchased about 14 songs. When I tried to sync other songs were downloaded that I did not purchase and that I do not want on the ipod. How do I delete these songs?

  • Apple deleted my account when I made a complaint about being charged for apps that I did not purchase! The said it was for security reasons as my account must have been compromised but only Apple have mu information.I am convinced the operator delete

    Apple deleted my account when I made a complaint about being charged for apps that I did not order. They said that my account had been compromised and it was in my best interests to delete it for security reasons! I am convinced the operator deleted my account out of sheer malice because I complained - can anyone advise?

    No. It would have been done for security reasons. You notified them that money was being unknowingly taken from your account, so they froze it.
    Change your Apple ID here
    And also check for unusual activity on your credit card with your bank. Change all your security password while you are at it.

  • Re: How can I restore DELETED APPS :- icloud,facebook,twitter on my iPhone 4S?(THE APPS IN QUESTION CAME WITH MY iPhone I DID NOT PURCHASE THEM).These apps are dimmed and not responsive on my phone. I cannot back up to icloud.

    Little fingers have deleted the above mentioned apps!
    THE APPS IN QUESTION CAME WITH MY iPHONE.
    I DID NOT PURCHASE THEM!
    HOW CAN I RESTORE THEM, THEY ARE NOT LISTED IN THE APP STORE????

    Hey Clyde71,
    Thanks for the question. From your description, it sounds like various Account Settings have been greyed out in your Settings application (iCloud, Facebook, Twitter). The cause for these being greyed out is a restriction setup on your iPhone. You'll probably see that Restrictions are turned "On" in Settings > General.
    You'll want to disable the restriction "Allow Changes: Accounts". For more information on restrictions, see this article:

  • I received charges on my credit card that I did not make.  Amounts and days that I did not purchase anything from ITunes., I received charges on my credit card that I did not make.  Amounts and days that I did not purchase anything from ITunes.

    I have received charges on my credit card from ITunes for amounts that I have not made.  There are 6 different purches on 3 different days.  One day the two amounts were 20.95 and 20.96.  The previous day the amounts were both 109.99.  The day before that they were 139.99 and 99.99.  I have tried to contact ITunes, but no answer.  The statement on my credit card says APL*APPLE ITUNES STOR 866-712-7753 CA.  I did not make any of these purchases, did not receive an e-mail about what was even bought on these days.  Anyone else have this trouble and resolve it?  Looks like I will be going to the bank today to cancel my card!  Very disappointed in ITunes lack of security.

    I have had the same problem with a credit card that I have never used at Apple. The amount was $21.23 and was described "MC Authorization 00112507 APL*APPLEITUNES STORE 2010-04-07 12.31.59"  Apple's email help desk couldn't help me because the card isn't one of my stored cards.  I was told to contact my bank.
    It seems to me that somewhere in AppleLand there is a record of the charge which is still pending.  I don't want to go through the hassle of changing cards.

  • I have a purchase order that I did not purchase

    Simple, I have a item that was purchased for $5.33 and I did not make that purchase

    It shows on your account's purchase history, it's not a phishing email that you've received saying that a purchase has been made ?
    Viewing purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store.
    If you didn't purchase it, and nobody else has access to your account or devices/computers and made it, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    Or you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
