App Store - Weird Thing Occurring With App Updates

I'd like to know if any of you are experiencing the same thing as I describe below.
Today I opened the App Store, saw an available update for one of my apps and I clicked "update" and the download and install completed. Sounds normal right? Well not so normal.... I DO NOT keep my Apple ID logged in. When I click "update" it is supposed to ask for me to log in. The updates downloaded and installed without me having to be logged in! This happened twice to me today, for two different apps, hours apart. I am wondering if there is a bug or glitch on Apple's end. Have any of you experienced this before? I am concerned about security. As it stands anyone can pick up my phone and download and install apps (if they know or can bypass my phone password of course).

Updates to apps that you have already purchased and installed will update, download and install without a passcode. that is normal. The purchase/download of new apps will not happen without the passcode being entered. This is not a bug, it is working as designed. Protection for new, but updates to something you have already downloaded happens without intervention.

  • My MacBook Pro Core Duo from 2006 shuts down randomly requiring frequent reboots to the point I had to abandon doing any project or anything on this MacBook Pro. Same thing occurs with the iMac dual core from 2007. MacBook battery replaced.

    My MacBook Pro Core Duo from 2006 shuts down randomly requiring frequent reboots to the point I had to abandon doing any project or anything on this MacBook Pro. Same thing occurs with the iMac dual core from 2007. MacBook battery replaced. Is it internal battery for both, new logic board required, bad hard drive, or bad RAM?
    Help.

    Run an Apple Hardware Test using the original installation disk that has the AHT instructions on it.
    Try SMC and PRAM resets:

    It is possible that you may need a new PRAM battery.

  • Weird things happening with volume

    When I have my headphones in and I'm listening to music the volume keeps turning itself up to its max, I then really struggle to turn it down using the volume buttons on the side of the phone, its like I am fighting it as it keeps trying to increase (weird I know).
    Not only that, you know when you increase the volume and the ringer symbol appears and you can move the volume up and down? This keeps appearing on its own and it won't go until I decrease the volume, sometimes when I've done it the same thing happens with the music volume I'm fighting it and it keeps increasing!
    I've tried a reset and updated software etc, I've even changed the case the phone is in but nothing has fixed it.

    Yes. YES.
    I tought I was the only one going mad. I totally agree with you.
    The output level is way too high. This also results in a poor resolution in the lower range of the output level, resulting in (quantization) noise. Very annoying.
    The only advantage of this powerful headphones output is that the level on max output is comparable to line level, so when you plug it into an amplifier/receiver, the level is comparable to any other line level source.
    Let's hope it is a software/driver issue which can be fixed... I liked my old PB G4 better in this department...

  • Weird thing happening with my iCal

    A weird thing is happening with my iCal, I don't know if it's a bug... Today I was printing the months of September and October with all my appointments, and when I was checking October I have noticed that 14th was printed as Saturday and as Sunday too, and 15th became Monday, 16th became Tuesday, and so on.
    But in my computer screen the calendar was correct: 14 Saturday, 15 Sunday, 16 Monday, etc.
    I cannot figure out what could be happening and how to solve this.
    Any idea?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Today a friend of mine said that he had a similar problem with iCal when printing the month of October, and that he fixed this by changing the Time and Zone setting in System Preferences. When he changed the setting from Sao Paulo, Brazil to Buenos Aires, Argentina (the both have the same time zone) the problem was solved.
    Today I did this and my problem dissapeared too. But I would like to know why is this happening.

  • Weird thing happened with my mail.app that I want it to do again

    a couple of days ago, I ws using my mail.app and I looked at my messages and there was one message from amazon.com when there should have been 3. It said I have 3 messages from amazon.com & when I clicked on it the 3 messages appeared like they were filed away there. I want to do it again or at least figure out what it was

    This is called organize messages by thread.
    The following was copied from Mail Help:
    A "message thread" is the chain of replies in an email conversation. Mail can help you quickly identify all of the messages in a thread by highlighting them in the color of your choice and grouping them together under the most recent message, sorted by date. Even if someone changes the subject line, Mail keeps the messages grouped together with the other messages in the thread. You can view them together and file them or delete them quickly.
    To highlight all messages in a thread in the same color when you select one message in the thread, choose Mail > Preferences and click Viewing. Select "Highlight related messages using color."
    To select a highlight color, click the color well in the Viewing pane of Mail
    Preferences and choose a highlight color in the Colors panel.
    To group your email by thread, select a mailbox and choose View > "Organize by Thread."
    To see all the messages in all threads, choose View > Expand All Threads.
    To see all the messages in a specific thread, click the triangle to the left of the thread or select the thread and press the Right Arrow key.
    To collapse all threads, choose View > Collapse All Threads.
    To collapse a single thread, click the triangle to the left of the thread or select the thread and press the Left Arrow key.
    To step through messages in a thread when you have organized your mailbox by thread, choose View > Select > "Next Message in this Thread" or "Previous Message in this Thread." Or, use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys.
    When you select a collapsed thread, the message content area of the Mail window shows the subject of the thread, the originator of the thread, the date the thread was started, the number of unread messages, the total number of messages, and a list of the messages, including which ones came with attachments.
    Mail uses special headers in each email message to determine if a message belongs to the same thread. If these headers are not present, the subject is used to determine if a message belongs to the thread.

  • Weird things happening with Lion

    Since I installed Lion I noticed that some applications became slower... when I open a file in Word and other applications, for example, that file opens together with the last file I worked in the application. How do I get rid of this?
    There's a delay to open pages in Safari; I noticed that Safari became slower. And the system inicialization is slower too. Is that normal?

    ...when I open a file in Word and other applications, for example, that file opens together with the last file I worked in the application.
    That behavior is part of the auto-save and resume functions that Lion uses.
    To turn off the auto-open of last docs, go to System Preferences > General and uncheck the "Restore windows..." item in the 'Number of recent items' section.
    In general, after updating to Lion the first time you run an app it will load slower than previously; this includes loading the OS at startup. After that first time slowness their opening should return to normal.
    If you have not repaired permissions in a while, it would not hurt to do so.

  • Message that iTunes store not available occurs with 1 program

    The other night I bought an entire season of a show.  I got a chance to see 3 episodes and then went to bed.  The next day when I click on the program, I am constantly getting that the iTunes store is not avaiable.  I unplug the power code and the same message. Other iTunes programs that I have purchase still work as well as Netflix.  I can download the program on iTunes and iPhone but not on Apple TV. 
    Suggestions?

    Interesting!  I have been practically fighting with the guy assigned to my Apple support ticket.  The last part of that discussion is that he's trying to school me on how you can't actually download shows to the AppleTV.  This is all a distraction on their part.
    So, I dunno if they finally did something on their end or if it's because I tried the "trick" to add it to favorites.  But I can now access the shows that were showing that error.  I have un-favorited the show and it still works.
    So, still could be worth filing a support ticket in the event that something they did on their end is what fixed it.
    Good luck!

  • Weird things happening with photoshop layer duplication

    Hi there
    I'm running PS 2014.2.2 on Mac OS 10.10.2
    I am trying to duplicate some type layers from one file to another - I highlight the layers in File 1, right click to 'duplicate layers' and select file 2. The layers appear in file 2 in the layer palette but are not on the file - I have checked to see if they are behind another layer and double clicked on the 'T' icon to see if I can select the type. I have switched off all other layers and the duplicated type layers are definitely not there. Just for good measure I dragged and dropped the layers and this does work. I have also tried making a copy of File 2 to see if the file itself was corrupted - this doesn't work either. Finally, I have tried duplicating other layers from File 1 to File 2 - this DOES work. Finally finally, I created a totally different type layer and tried copying that - this doesn't work!
    I have uninstalled PS via CC and re-installed (not checking 'remove prefs*) - problem persists.
    Anyone got any bright ideas?
    Martin

    Genius - you may the rest of the day off!!
    I, on the other hand, am a complete idiot. File 1 is 1500px deep and File 2 is 1000px. Duplicating layers in this way places the layers EXACTLY in the position they were in the original - in this case 300px below the canvas. Revealing all - weel, reveals all
    A thousand thanks

  • Do I Need Pro Apps Update 2007-001?

    I have Final Cut Studio 2. Get Info shows the version as 6.0.
    When I go to Apple's web site for updates, I enter in my Serial Number and it lists out the available upgrades. It only lists the 2008-002 update for download.
    However, when I perform a Software Update from the Apple Menu, it shows that I need the 2007-001 update.
    How do I know for certain which updates I need?

    Is you system currently stable? Are you doing everything you need to do with your current version? Can you afford the time to track down problems if they occur with an update? Now you can answer your own question.

  • HT203433 my issue is that my itunes store have some problem i cannot update my app and i also purchase app or download free app on it . it keep on tell me that ;an unknown error occured (0x800b0101)

    my issue is that my itunes store have some probleme i cannot update my app and purchase app or download free app also it keep on tell me that an unknownerror occured (0x800b0101)

    You could try this.
    Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
    *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, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages.  When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates.

    When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages.  When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates. Any ideas?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • How to address HP Printer Software Update 3.0, iTunes 12.0.1 update that sits in the App Store, 'Calculating' for days with no install?

    The App Store indicates there is a Software Update that appears to include the HP Printer Software Update 3.0 and iTunes 12.0.1
    Unfortunately, the software update fails to install. Instead, it just sits there 'Calculating' for days with no progression on the status bar of the overall update.
    The update buttons of both the HP Printer Software Update 3.0 and iTunes 12.0.1 are both greyed out, with no progress bar.
    Not sure of what the issue is, there is no warning or error dialog box that appears or any indication of an application that may be interfering with the install.
    Any advice? 
    MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011) 2.3 GHz Core i7, 4GB RAM

    Thanks for the suggestion. I wanted to install the individual updates but because I had settings to automatically download and install updates, whenever I opened the App Store, the system would try to download and install, preventing me from canceling the update to execute each application update one at a time.
    After changing the settings from automatically downloading and applying updates, followed by a restart. I was able to open the App Store and run each individual update.
    Thanks again.
