App Store sends updates for Apps I don't have.
App Store keeps offering me updates for Apps I don't have installed on my iMac.
e.g. Angry Birds.
If I click to Update I get a message "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID".
How do I remove the update and prevent further updates being offered?
iMac OSX 10.10.1
Thank you for this information. I deleted a rogue App and it has solved the phantom updates appearing. However now App Store now seems to hang with the "circle of death" checking for updates. Could this be related to another topic I have raised:
Where is the Apps list in 12.1?
When connecting iTunes with an iPad or iPhone, the Apps page no longer lists the Apps installed on the device. It does however show all of the installed Apps in the screen facsimiles on the right hand side of the page. The Apps count top right of the page is also correct.
Could it be that both are trying to reach the App Store server?
Internet connectivity is fine for other applications on the same iMac and for all devices I have connected to the internet via WiFi.

HT201380 Why is The Apple App Store offering me an update for an app I don't have?
Why is the App Store offering me updates for an App I don't have? Specifically, Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.1 ?
Welcome,
If this is for the Remore Desktop Client Update then you do have it - it's built in to OSX and is used when you want to use VNC clients.
If it's for Apple Remote Desktop then is't for the Admin App that drives the above client and is a paid for product. If you didn't buy this then it shouldn't appear. If it has lucky you!

On OSX10.8, friend logged in using his appleID now the app store is trying to update apps I don't have. How can I clean this up? I don't see the usual ignore update like I did back on older versions of the OS. I don't really want to just ignore it I want to clean it all up. How can I make sure there is nothing under his name or ID on my new laptop?
The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The MAS doesn't usually offer updates for apps not present or not in your purchased list. Are you sure that the apps are not to be found on a mounted drive or partition, such as a backup? -

If None is not available - On your computer launch iTunes and click “iTunes Store” in the left navigation pane. Click the “down arrow” next to your name at the top right side of the page and click “Account.” Enter your username and password and click “View Account” to log into your account information. Next to your Payment Type, click “Edit.” Select the “None” button and click “Done.” Confirm that your card has been removed by returning to the Apple account information screen. Under Payment Type, it should say that there is no credit card on file.

Since the recent update for my Iphone 5, I have been upable to toggle 'on' my location services button which affects the proper usage of some apps.
Any suggestions?The restriction passcode is not necessarily the same as the device passcode.
The restriction passcode can not set itself. It had to be set by you or by someone with physical access to your phone..
Ask the person/people you live with if they set one... A spouse, a parent, a jealous boy/girlfriend, etc.
If they deny it, and you don't know what it is, then the only thing you can do is restore the phone using iTunes. Do NOT restore your backup. The restriction settings are contained in the backup. -

I've installed several apps that won't rotate to landscape. Lock Rotation is off in settings. Is it the apps that don't have the ability to rotate or some setting on my iPad3? Thanks, CC
Not all Apps offer that feature...
Orientation Lock
Settings > General > Lock Rotation..
Double-press the home button...
Swipe to the right until you get to the Portrait Orientation Button...

Need help with a activation code for Adobe Acrobat X Standard for my PC, Don't have older Version of Adobe Acrobat 9, 8 or 7.
You don't need to install the older version, you only need the serial number from your original purchase. If you don't have them to hand, did you register? If so, they should be in your Adobe account. If not you really need to contact Adobe, though it isn't clear they will be able to do anything without some proof of purchase etc.

iPhoto was working fine. Performed update for HP printer, which should have nothing to do with iPhoto. But the next time I tried to open iPhoto, got this message. "To open your library with this version of iPhote, it first needs to be prepared." When I g
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I'm trying to view a site that sends a message that I don't have the most recent graphic card drivers to view with. It suggests I have the ability to view, but that my drivers might be disabled. I don't know how to check to see what graphic drivers my macbook (end of 2008 model) have enable. Can someone help?
You don't need to care about graphic driver on Mac OSX. It includes in OSX and run the driver your MacBook need.

When I opened the Mac App Store on my White MacBook(2010 model running Lion), it told me I had an update for Angry Birds. I never bought the original Angry Birds for Mac, so I decided I'd buy it because I enjoyed it on the iPad. When I clicked buy, it had my email switched to a russian one and when I tried to buy the app on my account, I got an unknown error (4). I can buy other items on my account, but when I try Angry Birds it always returns the error. Any ideas on how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
edit: Sorry! Found the answer on a related discussion.i have this too -- it's from trying to install pirated sw. I have no idea how to fix it -- even trying to buy a legot copy gives an error in the app store.
