App to upgrade on Mac App Store with email that is not mine
Hello to everyone,
I have an update of a free app on Mac App Store called "Itsy". However, i never install that app through Mac App Store or by other means! When i try to install it through Mac App Store i can't do it and Mac App Store ask me for the password of the following email "**@**.de"! This email it is not mine and i don't know how i get it! I buy my new MacBook Pro last week on an Apple Store! Anyone can tell me how i solve it? Or i should make a fresh install?

@moebis tell me one thing. I admit that on other mac i used FaceTime 1.0 app downloaded from a website. However, this mac is new and i just upgrade it from a Time Machine backup. When i restart my mac, FaceTime was 1.0.2 not 1.0! Do you think that some information from FaceTime 1.0 stay in my mac even FaceTime was upgraded to 1.0.2? I removed FaceTime 1.0.2 with AppDelete (I bought it ) but this problem persist! I just solve my problem making a fresh install. However, it is strange because, if it was a problem of Mac App Store, my problem shouldn't disappear, but the fact is that it really disappear! But i have another question. If it was a problem from FaceTime 1.0, why when i delete FaceTime using AppDelete this problem don't disappear?

I have an app in my app store that is requiring an update but I never purchased the app and when I click update, another apple ID pops up that is not mine. Now i keep getting reminders to update the app and I cant get rid of it from the app store. Help.
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 notice. 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.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination 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 initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've 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 items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test. -
When i try to update my apps from the app store some of the apps wont update and ask for an Apple ID that isn't mine. Whats the problem and how do i fix it? All im trying to do is update my apps and its asking for these random apple ID's.
The apps were purchased by another user with a different Apple ID. You will have to erase them and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

I have not upgraded to Mountain Lion yet, have 3 major apps (acrobatpro) and adobe image ready, and apple works that is not compatible, does anyone know how long snow leopard will be supported. Don't want to upgrade until I purchase new iMac next year.
Consider running your Adobe and AppleWorks software in Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed in Parallels in Lion or Mt. Lion:

HT201248 app store iTunes account password that is not mine.
I have a new iphone5s, app store asks for an iTunes account password that is not mine. My correct ID is shown in the settings menu, Have signed out an back in, wiped phone and restored from old back-up but still asked for the random password.
I had the same thing happen. I synced on my girlfriend's laptop, and when I logged into the App Store on my iPhone it prompted for her password (her Apple ID was prefilled). I plugged it back into her laptop, opened the iTunes store, and logged out of her account, then hit Sync on my iPhone. Resolved (but annoying).

I bought a mini mac that was returned to a store; when I try to open iPhoto it tells me I do not own a full copy of the software and prompts me to sign into an applied that is not mine. How do I fix this??
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
That's a problem that all users of a second-hand Mac released after the OS X Lion launch have. OS X, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand are registered to the Apple ID the first owner used to register the computer, so you can't use them legally without repurchasing them. Furthermore, there's a bigger problem: you have to get iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand on a DVD, because the App Store makes impossible to purchase these applications on a second-hand Mac.
Nothing will happen if they are already installed, but you won't be able to reinstall and update them, so I recommend you to delete them and buy iLife '11 on a DVD to install the applications from there. Also, take note that you can't also reinstall OS X, so if OS X gets damaged, you will have to take your computer to an Apple Store.
Open > About this Mac, and tell us the OS X version you have. If you are using OS X Lion, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion with your Apple ID, so then you will be able to reinstall OS X -
If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you do not normally sync
what happens when "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you do not normally sync", & they say in step 2 or 3 in order not to loose your stuff "If you are updating your iOS device on a computer with which you do not normally sync , or if you disconnect your device before the sync process is complete, you may notice that some media content that was previously on your device is no longer there. You can restore this content by syncing with the Mac or PC with which you normally sync."
now what if the pc that was originally used to sync my ipod , has corrupt or bad systems files that are causing it from working correctly...? when i plug it in to the o.g. operating sysytems (win xp) it doesnt ever recognize or discover the ipod through itunes. the pc will pop up the "cameras been plugged in, what would you like to do...?" but nothing thru itunes. now if i reboot & run the windows 7 operating system w/itunes that has backed my ipod before & synced a few times as well, but not the o.g. op system used from the beginning (the very initial set up done on the ipod) it works fine, but DOES give me the warning "updating to 5.0 willdelete some of your apps & media, including ... ....will only preserve contacts, calenders," ....etc.
MY HUGE CONCERN IS if i do hit update & go through w/it, & not having been able to sync it to the one normally used to sync my ipod, will that back up i made be able to restore my game seetings, GAME SAVES, & data achievement type information....?
please, i'm very hesitant to go through w/it, so if you can please help me out here & let me know asap.....i canimagine you're all busy busy, so i thank you for your time here w/this
thank you

[email protected]Not that hard. One the computer you are using do the following:
- Transfer iTunes purchases.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music using a third-party program like one of those discussed here.
Copy music
- If you have synced photos you need a paid program like TouchCopy or PhoneView
- When all the media in on the computer, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
That computer is now your syncing computer. Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps or music. -
my apple ID is showing someone elses email address and not mine so when i want to buy or update apps it brings this other email address up. please can someone help how do i put it back to my email address?
First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab. Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours. Did you let someone else use your iPhone? -
i have version 4.3.3 and am updating my iphone software. I am updating it on a computer that is not mine, as i only have an iPad. Can I do this without loosing my music, apps, photos, etc?
You do see the devices heading on the left sidebar? If you don't see the sidebar, go to View>Show sidebar in the iTunes menu and then check to see if the device appears.
If that isn't the problem, go through the troubleshooting steps. It could be the Apple Mobile Device Service issue.

A app on my apple acct that is not mine & I can not get rid of it
a app on my apple acct that is not mine & I can not get rid of it
As you didn't answer the question we have to assume that someone else loaded that app onto your machine. If that is the case they will have to tell you what ID details they used to do that. By using those same details you can update it if necessary.
But it would appear you want to be rid of it and while you can remove the app itself from your machine by deleting it, you can't remove its trace from your purchase records. I believe that would apply even if you edited your appleID and chose another one. Future downloads could be made and updates accessed by the new account but the old records would remain. -
