App store shows new update for program I did not purchase

App store shows new update for program I did not purchase. This is "CodeBox". When I push button to download update it shows "uknown error". For normal other updates - "update all" not working anymore.
How to delete this line from updates section now.

The problem was finally solved. I am writing very simple solution for those who may have same issue. I tried 1st solution proposing to exclude HDD from Spotlight search and then to restore it (delete from exceptions). It worked for some time and removed notification, however later it appeared again. Then I has started thinking that it was caused by data inside some installed SW and it has been proved later. I have started excluding from Sportlight not all HDD but by folder, searching for the problem area. I have discovered that folder Games was causing the issue. Then I have started to delete installed games one by one and have found Game with was triggering this notification (for other SW!). Problem was fixed after deleting this game. Other deleted games could be easily restored from recycle been.

App Store shows an update for App I didn't purchase

App Store shows an update for App I didn't purchase.
Below is a snapshot of how it looks like.
Why is there an update when I don't even have the app ?
If I click the Update button , the message I got is this :
and I have no idea what's going on.

Thanks DahVeed, it all make sense now. No-wonder someone elses e-mail ID was showing up.
I never advocate the usage of pirated apps, as being a software developer myself I understand the difficulty of creating apps and when people use it without purchasing them.
I can confirm that the app is now deleted from the external hard disk (which belongs to my friend).

Why my app store shows the update for other account which i don't know

Why my app store shows a Itsy updates for [email protected]? I've no idea about what it is.

That is her standard answer to this known problem. And it is not a bug!
You have a pirated app that is from the MAS and the app has been cracked with the MAS receipt from an app acquired with this person's MAS account. Get rid of your pirated apps to get rid of the issue.
Whichever was that last app that you downloaded for free from somewhere, rather than paying for it in the MAS, is likely the culprit.

App store got a updates for me, but its not my Apple ID

I bought a second hand MacBook Pro from a colleague of mine at work, he erased all the things he wanted to save to himself and I deleted is user name and created my own user name and became the new Admin. ive updated to the new operating system "Yosemite" and everything works great so far. I received an alert on the app store that an updaet is waiting for me, but for some reason the app store wants the password Username previous admin Even I deleted it from the computer users, another strange thing is that I connected with my user name and my password to the app store so how can it be that he asks for username and password that does not exist on this computer ?

Preparing a 2nd Hand Mac for use -
You need to erase the HDD, reinstall the version of OS X that shipped from the factory on the Mac and then set it up as new with your own Apple ID.
User Linc Davis explains how a new owner can prepare a 2nd hand Mac for their own use.

App store shows an update for Thunderbolt Firmware.

I don't run any Thunderbolt Firmware. Do I have to download this update? How do I ignore it?

What is firmware? - Support - Apple
What is Thunderbolt?

I have an 2.4 Mac Book Pro. I want to wipe it clean and reinstall the Lion OS I bought from the App Store. I looked for instructions but did not find them any advice where the instructions are would be appreciated. Thanks

I am looking for help on how to or where I can find information on how I can clean my hard drive and then reinstall Lion, Thanks

Boot from Recovery HD upon startup hold-down keys Command R . Until you see the Apple logo then select language:English.click the Arrow (Next)
From the OS Utility, select Disk Utility then click Macintosh HD. click the Erase tab on the right side.
Format:Mac OS Extended(Journaled)
Name:Macintosh HD
And click Erase
Once Erase process is done, close Disk Utility and select the second option in the OS Utility which is Reinstall OS. Let it run. It should take about an hour to complete, this type os installation is internet dependent so somehow the completion of the process depends on internet speed as well.

App Store indicates new update but unable to install

I am running OS X 10.9.2. The App Store app insists I have a new update available - Facetime 1.0.4. However, when I click onthe Update button I receive the message - "We could not complete your update. FaceTime can't be installed on "MyDiskName" because the version of OS X is too new." This message is not surprising given that the update note indicates it is recommended for all users of FaceTime on OS X 10.6. My question is - how do I convince the App Store app to no longer treat this as a new available update?

Hi,
same here... Mac App Store shows an update for FaceTime 1.0.4.
But i can´t remember that i kept that old version on my Mac.
When i switched to Mavericks i did a clean install, but migrated the contents of all User Accounts.
So i searched with Spotlight and also tried to find that old FaceTime version witch the "find" command ... but nothing!
But it has to be there ... somewhere.
What else can i do?

IOS 7 App Store showing old updates / showing updates and not letting me install

I noticed two issues with the iOS 7 App Store starting last night. I'm not sure if it's a temporary issue, since the issue seems to be server-side on Apple's part, or if it's a long-term issue.
I am running iOS 7.0.2 on an iPhone 5s. I do not have automatic updates for apps turned on (I like checking what an app is updating before installing it). I have tried force quitting the App Store app and restarted my iPhone.
The first thing I noticed last night was that the App Store showed an update for Hulu Plus on my iPhone but wouldn't let me install it. On my iPad (3rd-gen) running iOS 7, it let me install it. This morning, it let me install it. After, I noticed another badge on my App Store app icon with a "1", and it said there was an update for 94 Seconds, but wouldn't let me install it either. Then when I expanded the details, I noticed the date on it was from July 30, 2013. I already had that update installed over 2 months ago. Screenshots for that issue are below.
Is anhyone else experiencing anything similar? Any solutions?

Thanks for the quick response.
I do indeed seem to recall that happening with an app previously.
However, this time it was two apps (Google and Tivo). I figured they'd get flushed out when more updates (for other apps) hit the App Store. However, when that happened just now, while it did show "update" for those old updates instead of "open", I could not select "update all" up top and had to press update next to each of the (now 4) apps. The real issue though is that it (of course) can't further update Google and Tivo and gets stuck. So I can't update any of my apps now.
When I went back into App Store I then got the blank screen that shows nothing under updates but the "Purchased" slider up top. I thus had to reboot. I can get back into the App Store, and got an error regarding the Tivo update not being available (this was a Jan 10 or so update that had already been installed), but there it still sits in the updates. Interestingly, Google did "update" and fall off the badge indicator. I selected only my true/new updates, so now I'm just stuck with a false Tivo update/badge.
I should add that I am on 7.0.4.
EDIT: Tivo "updated" after the reboot too. So, bottom line is that you're (I'm) stuck with the false updates until a real update comes through, and then I have to go through that song and dance to clear out the false flags.

My App Store shows 3 updates but when I go to it the screen is blank. It will not give me the option to update all or one at a time, it doesn't show the apps at all.

Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
1. Go to App Store
2. Select Purchased
3. Select All
4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
5. Select update on the Apps
This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

App Store shows Twitter update again and again

Hello boys and girls.
My Mac App Store shows the update 2.0.1 for Twitter again and again. I downloaded it 10 times again and it didn´t go away. Twitter is on 2.0.1 and the MAS shows the update again.On my iMac there wasn´t a problem with this update.
Sorry for my bad english skills. I´m a german guy. I hope you understand my problem.
Regards
m1LLo

Without the Twitter app installed the Mac App Store continues to display Twitter as being available to receive an update — this to me sounds like Cached information that is corrupt.
Are you certain that you removed the following files:
Remove all files in the Caches folder from the following 2 locations:
Macintosh HD/Library/Caches
System/Library/Caches
You might even want to remove Caches from your home folder but I am certain it's not there because the App Store is a system wide applications and it install app into the Applications folder which is also system wide. As an addendum to this, I am also convinced that if you log into another user account on your mac you will continue to see this update offered.
Also remove
~/Library/Caches
You must restart your mac immediately afterward. There is no point attempting to empty the trash because these cache files are likely active.
Please confirm

iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone. You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone. You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account. iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac. When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account. You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar. If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

How can I edit my apple ID in the app store the enable update some applications because it not my own that is showing

How can I edit my apple ID in the app store the enable update some applications because it not my own that is showing

It sounds like some apps were purchased using another Apple ID.
ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them. Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password. Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.
