App Store prompts me to login to download updates when I am logged in

All of a sudden today, when I attempt to update apps on my system, the App Store prompts me with this dialog:
I've checked both the App Store and iTunes and I am logged in to the required account.
What must I reset to clear this so that I can move on?

It was my secondary boot drive.  Because it's a clone of my main drive, App Store was getting confused.  I unmounted that drive and the updates are working properly.
Seems that some other message should be displayed - "You have updates for apps on multiple drives. Please eject all but your primary drive to perform the updates."

  • App Store does not activate Applications / Cannot Download updates

    Hello,
    I can login to app store without problems.
    But all the time I try to do anything, a login prompt pops up - question about Apple ID and password - I enter and for viewing account or manage account, it works fine. iTunes store, no problems - all fine.
    appleid.apple.com - all checked, no problems - all fine.
    But in App Store I tried to download updates, so it recalled me to acept the iLife applications first. I go to the purchased folder and found the iLife application, which had to be accepted. I tried, and guess - yes, this nasty Apple ID password drop down window appeared again!
    I tried to enter the password and got the message, that those application had been previosly accepted and the process could not be done. The aception part disappears and no I click on update - again the Apple ID and Password Prompt drops down, I enter Apple ID and password - but I get the message, that those applications had been previosly accepted - OK, and after I got the information, that my account isn't available - again I click OK and get at least the information, that my request to the shop was not handled properly and an error (100) occured - I should try later....
    I have this since yesterday, as randomly I checked for updates - and after reading the topics:
    Yes, it could be since i updated my macbook pro to 10.7.4...
    I checked my certificates, all seems find. My husband did this oscpd thing - no change.op is
    I see my account, but I cannot download anything - the shop is inusable...
    And please, don't post any about firewall and virusscanner - this isn't at least helpfull - okay? THX

    I have this problem too and an Apple tech support rep suggested I reset my password. I've done this and still get the same app store and news-stand store error.

  • Every time I try to play scrabble, the game comes up then jumps to the app store prompting to download a different game

    when I try to play scrabble on my iPad the game comes up then jumps to the app store prompting me to download a game, cannot play scrabble.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Can I install an app from the mac app store on just my login?

    I'd like to download apps from the mac app store to just my login and NOT have them installed on other users logins.  how can I do this?

    In your Mac, you have two Applications folder: /Applications, and ~/Applications.
    The first one is the used by default and it stores the applications that are going to be used by all users. The second one is stored in your user folder (~ refers to the user folder), and you have to put the apps you only want to use yourself in this app.
    First, open Finder, select Applications folder in the sidebar and copy all the apps you want, selecting them with Command key and then, pressing Command and C keys. After that, select Go menu > Go to Folder, type ~/Applications, and press Command and V keys there to paste your applications.
    Finally, go back to /Applications and delete the copied apps, so only you will be able to access to those applications

  • Why does my app store use a different account for downloading and another for updating apps?

    My app store used my own account for downloading and my sister's for updating, and it keeps telling me to reset my account. I already did that the other few times it told me to do that!

    Have you restored your device from your sister's backup?

    I am a librarian at a 1:1 iPad school and we are having this problem with all ~3000 student iPads as well at ~300 teacher iPads.  This is extremely frustrating.  I have tried suggested fixes found on other discussion boards but none have worked.

  • My app store won't allow me to download any apps because of pervious purchase which I never purchased ?

    My app store won't allow me to download any apps because of pervious purchase which I never purchased ?

    I'm sure you purchased it since no one else would have your password to download apps
    Make sure your CC has funds on it and its up to date on your itunes store account.

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

    Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
    Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
    This page might help you out...

    Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.

  • An app I downloaded is no longer showing up on my screen. The app store shows thar it needs to be updated, but the update bottom is colored light, not dark.

    I downloaded Pandora a while back. My 12 year old nieces were playing with my iPad and now the Pandora icon is not on my screen. The app store shows that it needs to be updated, but I can't do it. What can it do to recover my Pandora program?

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, my query is not so much about the sale of the company and the dream. I agree with you on that point. Good for them. My frustration is that this old app has now caused a glitch in my Apple App Store icon. I have a red badge with one update and it is referring to the old app that has been sold that needs to be updated. When I try to update the app it says no longer available for purchase. So I have since deleted that app in hopes that it would resolve the red badge issue. It has not. Somehow, that old app and the new app with the same name but by a different company has caused the glitch. I have reset all settings on my iPad, I have rebooted, I have deleted the app and still the red badge with the one update for the old app is there. Hmmm. . . I guess I need to take this into the Genius bar or wait for ios 7 in hopes that it will fix the glitch. Thanks again for your help.

  • When I try to download Mavericks OS from the App store, it says "waiting". The download process doesnt actually start. How can i fix this?

    when I try to download Mavericks OS from the App store, it says "waiting". The download process doesnt actually start. How can i fix this?

    -  Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
    -  Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading including Mountain Lion.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select Mountain Lion. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
