App Store won't let me update

I bought FCPX and is currently v10.0. It shows there is a new version but he App store says "Final Cut Pro 10.0 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store, Do you want to purchase for $299?", when in fact I did purchase with my Mac using my same MobileMe account? Why does it not see that? How am I supposed to upgrade?

Yes.. I am logged in. I even tried logging out and back in, with both the App Store and my MobileMe system prefs. Shows all of my purchases, but no updates available.. My other computer shows the update is available but I don't want it on that computer.. The one I want it on just doesn't see the available update..

App store won't let me update iphoto since upgrading to yosemite

i just upgraded to Yosemite, and now my dock shows the iPhoto icon with a slash over it saying that it's not compatible with Yosemite. when i go to the app store to update i get the message as follows -
Update Unavailable with This Apple ID
This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
unfortunately i can't even find out what version of iPhoto i'm running because i can't open it.
anyone have any ideas on what's wrong? thanks in advance!

You should be able to go the Mac App Store, login with your Apple ID that you have set up and registered, and then since you just bought the iMac New you should find those two Apps to click on listed in the "Purchases" List that is associated with your Apple ID account. You may or may not need to, for Free, redownload those two Apps from the Purchases List to trigger allowing Free Updates. I'm not sure, not having done this that way.
Hope this helps

My app store won't let me download none of the older versions of apps for my ipod touch 2g.

My app store won't let me download any of the older versions of an app, but in my sisters case she can and she has an ipod touch 2g just like me. She was able to download kik, twitter, instagram, and some more apps that told me I had to have ios 4.3.1 or higher to download. and theres only one app I want and its kik, can someone help me figure out whats wrong with my app store, it would be a great help.

Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

I recently moved and itunes store won't let me update credit card information

I'm having a same issue, can't store my card information in the system. does anyone knows why?

App Store won't let me sign in

There is but one problem. When asked to log into App Store, in my case to download some updates for my Macbook, the username and password dialog box already have a username written in – and it's greyed out, so I can't change it.
Now here's the twist: It's not my username that is greyed out.
In fact, after trying several times, I realise the dialog box only gives me two options, switching between two e-mail addresses I don't own. Surprisingly enough though, I know who owns one of the e-mail addresses, and it's a close friend of mine. I'm a 100 % positive this isn't something he has done on purpose. But the problem still remains, and none of us know why.
So I got an idea, that if my friend could log into his account, and then log out afterwards, the App Store dialog box would allow me to write my own username. I tried that, and it worked great – until I was rejected in the same way as before, after having rebooted the Macbook.
I have searched many apple forums for the answer to this, but it seems I am alone with this. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Here's a photo of the dialog box, with a greyed out apple ID field.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds," or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.

TS1702 I restored my iPod touch 1st generation and the App Store won't let me download apps I previously had.

I got an iPod touch 1st generation and downloaded loads of apps, some paid some free. A few weeks ago I restored the iPod touch and when I went to download apps that I had already owned it said I needed a newer iOS. It says I need iOS 4.3 and I have iOS 4.2.1 and when i tried to update it says I have no software updates.

Do you have any of those apps saved on your computer, in iTunes?
It is true that your 1st generation iPad is already now running the highest version of iOS it can. It cannot be updated further. If the developer has pulled the older versions of their apps and now only offers versions requiring iOS 5 or 6 then you will not be able to run those apps any longer (unless you kept backup copies of the older versions in iTunes on your computer).
Developers determine what version(s) of their apps are in the App Store. As many have updated their apps to take advantage of the enhancements in iOS 6 , they've pulled their older versions and no longer support them.

I've ju App Store won't let me upgrade the iPhoto ,it says update unavailable with this apple id store (something like that). What can I do to fix this. I want to be able to access my photos. Thank you.

what should i do when the app store doesn't allow me to upgrade iPhoto after i upgraded my mac to yosemite?

To upgrade to iPhoto 9.6.1 you must first delete all previous versions of iPhoto that are on your hard drive. Also delete any alias files that you may have created for iPhoto.
Next go to the App Store and look under Purchases for iPhoto 9.6.1. You should be able to download and install it.

I have 2 Apple ID's but the app store will not let me update iPhoto with either

I have a MacBook pro 2011. For some reason i have ended up with 2 Apple ID's i must have forgotten something or i changed my account name from when i first set up the machine. Some apps allow me to upgrade with one but not the other. I have upgraded to Yosemite via a clean install at the Apple store. I have loaded back on my back up but iPhoto isn't there and it has asked me to upgrade via the App store. Unfortunately neither Apple ID's will let me upgrade.
The Message on screen is:
Upgrade unavailable with this Apple ID
This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled
Do i head back to the Apple store and talk with them or is there something i can do at home?
Thanks in advance of any help

I think you're confusing RAM memory with hard drive memory storage...the two aren't the same.
Although you're being told you need 2GB of RAM to run Mountain Lion....I would consider 4GB the minimum. You should be able to upgrade the RAM in your iMac to 4GB for well under $100.

ITunes/App Store won't let me complete my purchase,

says there is billing problem with previous order and to please update payment plan

Have you logged into your account and checked/updated your payment details ? If there was a problem with your last purchase and iTunes wasn't able to collect its payment, then you won't be able to buy/download anything else from the store until you have a valid payment details on your account and what you owe has been paid off.
You should be ableto check/update your payment details on your account via your computer's iTunes : go into the Store > View Account menu option and log into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on an iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch) then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

ITunes and app store will not let me update my credit card information

I'm trying to update my credit card information on my Mac, but iTunes won't let me. It continually states "Your credit card information does not match your bank's records itunes" but I am 100% sure I am inputting the information right (I've been doing it for hours now), the card is active, and it works--I just purchased something elsewhere. What is happening? What should I be doing?

Check in with iTS to see if there is something else going on you don't see...

App store won't let upgrade Keynote

I have Keynote Installed but want to upgrade to the new version and App store just says installed and won't let me. What should i do?

Bump. Same problem here. Apple, what say you?
I have some files on iCloud, saved from like a year ago. When I tried to open it, it says
You need a newer version of Keynote to open this presentation.
You can download the latest version of Keynote from the Mac App Store
And when I go to the link and pop open iTunes, it says it's "Installed". If I uninstall it, will it then cost me $20? Might give the impression that Apple is (intentionally) gating users out of their old files to force folks to pony up for the new version.
