App store: Updates; get rid of past updates?!!
OS7 has a VERY ANNOYING(and useless in my opinion) thing that when you update an app...it's listed with the date you updated it. How do I get rid of the "past updates" in the app store 'update' menu?
The disappear after a week or two. I find it very USEFUL, especially if you have automatic updates enabled. It's the only way you know an app has been updated. And even if you don't have automatic updating available, its an easy way to go back and check the "What's New" section under each app. I also don't find it inconvenient, as all of the latest updates are always at the top of the list.

How do i get rid of an app store update notice?
how do i get rid of an app store update notice? I do not want it! It is annoying
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.
You will need to supply more info for us to determine how to offer help. What app, etc? -

Get rid of mac app store update??
I had to do a clean install of snow leopard because i didnt like the way lion ran on my macbook. 2 days later i saw an app store update icon. I found it odd since i hadnt added any apps yet. it said there is an update for the store news update. but i dont have that app so i tried to install it and delete it but it says i have to sign in with some strange email. im lost and dont know how that is possible. can someone please explain how to get rid of it?
Here's a theory about this...
When you set up your SL system, did you reinstall or continue to use your own software like personal apps, games, etc.? If so, were they all from "legitimate" sources? If not, it is possible you have a hacked version of some software which originally came from the app store and that hacked version has a _MASReceipt from the app that's confusing you.
Once upon a time a simple hack was to take the _MASReceipt from some free app store app and replace the _MASReceipt's in a non-free app store app. I think that hole is long since sealed. But if there is a wayward _MASReceipt floating around in some app bundle then the App Store stuff added to systems beyond 10.6.5 is going to find it. Apparently the app the _MASReceipt's originally came from for has been updated and you are being notified about it. And I guess _MASReceipt's contain account info adding to the confusion.
So you need to check for a _MASReceipt in some app bundle. Download a search utility that can look into app bundles, e.g., Find Any Fiile, and tell it to search for _MASReceipt. You will see a checkbox on top that says Show Package Contents. Keep that checked. It will then search within application bundles. If there's a _MASReceipt somewhere, someplace, you should be able to find it. Then trash the app that contains it.
Again, just my theory. -
When I try to update an app in the App Store i get a message "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (13)" I have tried many many times and keep getting the same message. How do I resolve?
First take the steps recommended in this support article. If there's no change, continue as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.cookies
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
I have an iPhone 4S, with the latest OS, 5.01 I believe it is. Most everything is great except everytime I have updates to download and install through the app store, I get a message saying "cannot install livingsocial and 6 other apps." The issue is that I only had livingsocial for a couple weeks then deleted it. That was a few weeks ago. Also I have no idea what the other 6 are. All my updates install fine, I just keep getting this message. And livingsocial and whatever the other 6 apps are never show up in the updates section, I just keep getting the stupid message. I click ok and it goes away. How do I get it to stop trying to install these apps? I've seen a ton of information about something similar happening on sync, but my issue is occurring during AppStore updates for which I can find no information!
That seems like a really odd coincidence that both ours say "and 6 other apps." As far as the app waiting thing, I've never tried tapping it twice, but I would hold down til all the apps started shaking to move or delete, but this one is the only one with no x for delete, so when I tap it nothing happens. I have tapped it repeatedly but never exactly twice. But after a short while, no matter what I do, it will just disappear on its own. In fact, I saw your "tap twice" message very soon after you posted it and was going to try it, but it had already disappeared by then.

+91-8460366331Looks O.K. to me Opens correctly in Firefox and Opera as a log-in page for Killer Content - Win7x64 Fx5.
I can't see any oddities in your plug-ins. It never hurts to clear any relevant cookies and your cache.
You could see how it goes in Safe Mode - Hold Shift key down as you double click on the Firefox icon>ignore the page that opens and continue. If the page opens you probably have a problem with extensions or themes and you should work through this -
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes
A lot of things have been updated as well as Firefox and you could have a culprit or conflict. Next, if there is no improvement you could try disabling third party toolbars, and you should report back at this stage or if there has been early success.
Someone may come by with a more specific remedy. -

That's because there are not enough apps that use Passbook yet. Wait.

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend. -
It's a simple question but I cannot find an answer. I just know you can't. It makes no sense to not allow us to even purchase an update at a lower cost as opposed to repurchasing the app from the app store at the full cost. Can anyone say why this is the case? It makes me not want to ever use the app store.
I get that, but that's not the point. What I am saying is that the customer experience is poor. It should work the same as it used to when you bought software from a brick and mortar store.
When you buy an app (software) from a sellers website, you should be able to purchase an upgrade from any vendor. This means even though I bought an app like OmniPlan direct from the OmniGroup... It would be nice to purchase the upgrade, or even download the update from Apple's Mac App Store.
It just makes for a better customer experience. -
App store updates I get an error that says "cannot connect to iTunes Store"
On my iphone under the App store updates, I get an error that says "cannot connect to iTunes Store"
Thanks for responding turingtest2 - I finally worked it out (no thanks to Apple!) - I am in South Africa at the moment and availability of content here is very limited (it seems) according to the bloggers - when I looked there is a tiny faint grey note at the bottom of http://www.apple.com/za/itunes/download ...
it seems to pick up South Africa and the UK - in fact I have set up an alternative UK apple ID so I suppose it sees my ipad, checks my "accounts" and constructs the note accordingly? Weird.
It would have been REALLY helpful to have a clear indication of content availability when setting up the South African account. I have found the several places where the experts explain how to work around this problem with fake US addresses and voucher payments. I don't want to do that.
I have to say that my limited experience with iTunes and Apple over three years (previously on PC/Windows) is way below what I would expect from Apple inc ... this incident must have wasted four hours of my life ... -
