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.
Regards,
mm~

Why app store keep asking me to update when i deleted the app
app store alert me to update the app ... i never use this app and i deleted the app...
but app store still has the alert red sign on the app store ... why this is still on since i deleted the app?...
i used cleanapp to remove the app ... is it the removal is not 100% or else?...
please advise for a solution...
thanks...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. -
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. -
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 -
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". ;-) -
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 ! -
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

Microsoft Office 2011 no longer opens because "there is a problem" after updating mountain lion when the app store said there was an update available this morning. Reinstalling did not work. What's the problem?
Has your problem been solved by the updates??
Have a similar problem. This MacBook opened all MS Office programs in Dec2012 but no longer does in Feb2013. Went to Microsoft/mac/downloads but none of the three updates would run citing a problem "version of software needed to run this update was not found on this volume".
MacBook: 7.1, Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.4 GHz
Microsoft Office 2011: version 14.2.3
Mountain Lion: 10.8.2 (12C60) -

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. -
Running Snow Leopard 10.6.7 & Safari 5.1.10
Problem is with Yahoo mail which keeps asking me to update my Safari browser but everything is up to date as far as I can tell. Have reset Safari & empties cache.
But no change- every time I go to open Yahoo mail it goes to a page with update boxes for Firefox & Safari asking me to upgrade but on hitting Safari upgrade box it just takes me to an Apple page that explains the benefits of the new Safari ( Mavericks maybe ) with no option to upgrade. Can anyone suggest an answer to this annoyance.
Thanks very much,
Dino.Your post is pretty lengthy and I have to admit I didn't read it all. Please try restarting in Safe Mode, if that doesn't work please do both a SMC and PRAM reset. These may take 2-3 attempts.
SMC RESET
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
PRAM RESET
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -
Why does App Store keep crashing!!! It's completely ****!! I am going to buy an android phone if they don't fix this immediately!!!
Basics from the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. I'll bet you've not tried any or all of these basic steps.
BTW, we're users, here, not Apple. So threating to buy an android phone not only makes you look like an idiot, but none of us users on this forum really give a **** what you do. -
I bought a used iMac recently, and sometimes the app store asks for the user password of the previous owner (and displays former owner's ID). It won't allow me to change ID to mine, even though I am signed into store with my own account (and this is shown in dropdown menu). How can I make the store recognize my ID for downloads?
It is showing updates because your machine is tied to the original purchase and will remain so until you wipe the drive.
As you purchased it used and the seller obviously did not do what he was supposed to do and that is erase the hard drive and reinstall the original system, you will run in to far more difficult problems when you need to reinstall for whatever reason. The new licensing requirements are that any mac is sold with the original OS - any OS or app obtained at the app store is NOT transferable and the buyer needs to purchase their own license. That means you will not be able to reinstall the OS.
At some point, you will need to try to get either the original install disks (from the seller or Apple) and wipe your drive and reinstall. Then you can download your own licensed copy of Mavericks and any apps you want. -
My wife used to have an account on my iMac and then she deleted her account when she no longer needed it. Now I cannot update three software packages in the Mac App Store. Software update keeps telling me updates are available but when I try to update them, I get a message that I need to sign on using my wife's account and apple id. I am the only user on my iMac and I am an administrator. Why can't I update the software? I do not want to have to add my wife's account back on my iMac and I should not have to.
