Apple id showing incorrectly in mac app store

The apple ID is showing incorrectly in the app store. I've signed out and then signed back in with the correct email but it continues to show incorrectly.

If you're trying to update an application, you need to delete and redownload it, which may require repurchasing a paid one.

  • Purchase from a strange Apple ID showing up in Mac App Store

    'Angry Birds' app asks for update in my Mac App Store but the problem is I've never downloaded this app before. When I tried to clear it by clicking update. A different Apple ID appeared, and it's definitely not mine. I don't share my Mac with anyone. Any idea how to solve this problem?

    I mean I used the FAF to find the _MASreceipt and only 8 appears but they're all from the app that I've downloaded myself. There no sign of any odd app.

    Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store..
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Click Go
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Relaunch the App Store. See if that made a difference.

  • How do I get updates that are not mine not to show up in mac app store?

    I have updates in my updates in the mac app store that will not go away and they are not mine. They are someone else's that have someone else's apple ID. It is just a little strange that just all the sudden they pop up about two days ago. It is sort of annoying that these updates will not go away. Any help is well appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi...
    Unfortunately, it sounds like you are subject to pirated software.

  • The wrong apple id shows up in the app store

    I bought a new iphone 4g.  Until yesterday, all was well.  Today the app store is asking for an apple id that is associated with another iphone on our itunes account.   In my settings, my apple id is correct.  I have tried signing into itunes with my account and syncing.  It did not change my app store id request.  What to do?

    Thanks for your prompt reply.  That did not work.  I signed out, turned the phone off, then on, then signed in and it still has the wrong id.  Any other ideas?  I read one post that said something about an app purchased by the other user that may need to be deleted.

  • Updates for unrelated and unauthorized apple ID on mac app store

    Hi,
    I am having a queer issue with the mac app store.
    When I go to the updates tab in the mac app store I see an update for twitter app v 2.1.1.
    Now the twitter app on my apple ID has already been updated to 2.1.1 (I have checked in the get info on the twitter app).
    As soon as I click on update I get the dialog box of username and password, only in the username tab I see a different apple ID.
    It as a gmail ID which does not belong to me and neither has such an apple ID been authorized on my mac.
    I tried contacting apple email support for the mac app store twice, writing down my problem in detail. However I didn't get an acknowldegement mail both times (I checked junk mail).
    Is Anyone else having a similar issue? Is this an indication of some sort of hacking?
    I am running the Mac OS Snow Leapord 10.6.8
    Now I'm just hoping maybe updating to Lion might solve this issue.

    Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay in replying, i have be away on vacation.
    To my knowledge I have not downloaded any trial apps form other than from the app store. its a mystery. I just want to get rid of this twitter app so that i can download the safe version.

  • Mac App Store - Different Country Purchases

    I live in Japan but have bank accounts and credit cards in the US and Japan, and for that reason I have two Apple IDs, one for each country. As such *I would want the ability to buy software from the Mac App Store in the US and Japan*, especially since my wife is Japanese and she uses Japanese language software (whereas I prefer English software). Here is what Apple says about the Apple ID being tied to country:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2204
    So it appears that I can switch between the US and Japan Mac App Store simply by my Apple ID back and forth (which unfortunately is troublesome). Even so, I am curious *how the Mac App Store will manage the software* I have purchased and installed, if some was bought from the Japan Mac App Store and other software bought from the US Mac App Store. Will it only manage my Japanese software (e.g., download updates for it) while I have my Japan Apple ID setup in the Mac App Store preferences? And then it will only start managing my English software when I switch to my US Apple ID in the prefs? If so, then I see no benefit to me for the Mac App Store. The big benefit to using the Mac App Store is seamless and convenient software management.
    Please know that I have not yet installed 10.6.6 or used the Mac App Store. I've not done that yet because I view the current One-Click Buy method as being dangerous. However, seeing that I am not alone in feeling such, I am quite certain Apple will address that flaw rather quickly. But I am posting here today so I can find out about purchasing software from different Mac App Stores (based on country) and "software management" prior to committing to the Mac App Store for my future software purchases. If I am able to buy Japanese software through the US Mac App Store, the point of my post here today would be moot. But from what I understand, that won't be allowed.
    I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
    Thanks.

    The Mac App Store account is actually an iTunes account. If you already have an iTunes account I suggest that you visit that account before opening the Mac App Store app and signing in. Go to iTunes and enter the iTunes Store. Make sure that you are logged into your iTunes account. Then view your account. Make sure that the payment method is configured as you want to use this account; either with a bank card, without a bank card, with an iTunes Store gift card(s), or if available, a PayPal account.
    Once you have your iTunes Store account as you want it, quit iTunes. Open the Mac App Store app and sign in using your iTunes Store account ID. Now just a simple verification should be all that you are required to do and it should not activate 1-click purchases. It should not ask you for any bank card information and you should be able to "buy" all of the free apps that you would like, even if you opted out of having a bank card in your iTunes Store account.
    If you do not have an iTunes Store account, I suggest that you go to iTunes and open an account there first and not try to set up your account initially in the Mac App Store. Since you already have an Apple ID for the Apple Discussions all will be much more simple if you use that for your iTunes Store account also.
    As far as managing the apps that you buy, my experience with the MAS is the same as with the iTS, my Mexico Store account recognizes my installed apps from my US account and even shows me when there is an update available and vice versa, but to actually install the update I must sign into the account that I used to originally download and install the account.

  • Mac App Store v. 1.0.2 - Facetime installed v. 1.1.1

    Dear Apple community,
    can anyone tell me why I have installed the Facetime version 1.1.1 and in the Mac App Store the Facetime App is shown as v. 1.0.2. Also the Mac App Store shows the App as "0,99 $" and not as "installed". o.O
    Furthermore neither the Apple Software Update nor the Mac App Store shows an update available.
    In advance I thank you for your help!
    P.S.: I have OS X Lion 10.7.3 (MacBook Pro Early 2011).
    Yours sincerely,
    Stema

    Problem solved...
    I didn't check myself that v.1.1.1 (which I have installed) is newer then 1.0.2 (Mac App Store). Classic false alarm...
    Sry guys...

  • How do i install the new mac app store

    I did my software update like the apple website instructed but the mac app store is still not popping up. I also checked my applications under finder and found the same result. Is there a way to get the mac app store on my 2008 macbook or is my model too outdated to support the mac app store? Thank you for all responses!
    -applelover14723

    If your signature profile is correct, you are on Leopard (10.5) which means you will have to buy Snow Leopard (10.6) - widely available for $29. Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements; if it does and you install it, you can then update to 10.6.6 which is the update that included the app store.

    Check your Applications folder to make sure the game was downloaded and installed successfully. You can launch it from there.

  • TS3638 Sign in window does not appear in Mac App Store.

    I have been trying to work this out for a week or so. I already tried verifying and repairing disk permissions, as well as deleting the com.apple.appstore.plist file. Whenever I click the sign-in button (featured page or purchases page) nothing happens. I don't have FruitMenu or APE installed. There doesn't seem to be any help on Apple Support other than this: Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text. I have also tried downloading an app that I had previously purchased, to see if the log-in would come up, and nothing. Please Help!

    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.
    Also nothing when you try to sign into your account with Sign in from the Store dropdown menu?

  • How can I copy installation/setup files of an App downloaded from Mac App Store?

    I just purchased and downloaded Xcode on my Macbook Pro and now want to install the same on my MacBook Air and iMac but I don't want download them again and again. Isin't their anyway by which I can copy the installation/setup files of that App and paste it on another Mac and use my iTunes account credentials to verify the App with Apple servers, so that they know it's legit install. And also keep the copy as backup so that, I can install that App again after I format my computer or use it for future use.
    I live in a third world country and aren't blessed with high speed and unlimited bandwidth connection.

    Issue solved:
    Answer found in Apple FAQ's site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4482
    The Mac App Store remembers all apps you purchase with your account. Apps you purchase and install from Mac App Store can also be copied to an external hard drive, USB Flash Drive, CD/DVD, or backed up via Time Machine.
    If you save a copy of an app to removable media (such as an external hard drive) or file share, simply drag the app back from its storage location to your Applications folder. When you open the restored app for the first time, you may be required to sign in with the Apple ID account that was used to purchase the app.

    i want to ask u if it's legal on mac app store to exists apps with free trial edition.
    Today i saw an app with free trial.
    http://itunes.apple.com/gr/app/elements-crm/id424618758?mt=12
    this is the app.
    if it's not legal how can i report it.
    thank u!

    There is no law against it, if that's what you mean. If you are concerned that it may be in violation of Apple's terms for the Mac App Store, you can contact Mac App Store Customer Service and bring it to their attention.
    Since this app is a subscription-based service, though, and the company is allowing you a 30-day trial subscription (as publishers have with newspaper and magazine subscriptions), it probably falls within the terms of the App Store. I would presume that Apple wouldn't have approved it if it did not.
    Regards.
