Can't change Apple ID when using Software Update

When I try to update installed Apps from the App store, I am shown an Apple ID that is incorrect. It is grayed out so I can't change it. Therefore, I can't install updates to my purchases (or free Apps downloaded and installed. How can I fix this? Thanks

Delete and redownload those applications.

  • Can't install 10.5.8 using Software Update

    I haven't been able to apply the past few OS X updates (including the current 10.5.8 update) using Software Update. I get an error message telling me I don't have sufficient privileges. This is strange because I'm the admin user with full privileges.
    I then have to download the combo updater and do it manually. It's not that big of a deal, but I do wonder why it's happening and what to do about it.

    I'm not sure about that, but if you are hesitant about doing it, at bare minimum go to Apple menu -> System preferences -> Software Update, and turn it off, and quit from System preferences, and then go to the various Library folders under:
    Hard drive
    Users - yourname
    and
    System
    and copy from the Preferences folder in each one to a folder on your desktop that allows you to remember where you copied from any SoftwareUpdate plist you encounter. Once that is done, go ahead and delete them from the Preference folders, and restart your Mac.
    If Software Update still fails, you may need to repair permissions with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility.
    And if that doesn't work, how full is your hard drive?

  • Error message when using Software Update

    Hi everyone. I'm getting the following error message when trying to download some items via Software Update:
    "None of the checked updates could be saved. A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again."
    This is for the following downloads:
    iPhoto 7.1.4
    iDVD 7.0.2
    iMovie 7.1.4
    Security Update 2008-005
    Any ideas? I have no problems with Internet access at all. I'm running a new 24" Intel iMac 3.06 GHz with Mac OS 10.5.4
    Thanks for any help you can provide.
    Bruce

    Hello b:
    It sounds simplistic, but restart your computer if you have not already done so. I looked, but could not find that particular error code.

  • Error when using software update server

    Whenever I try to point a non-managed client to use my software update service, I am getting this error;

    Any ideas whats causing this?
    The software update does not return an error if not using the unix console, it just shows no valid updates.

    The reason why you are receiving is because you don't have the forward slash after the 8088.
    Your current setup: http://fileserver.occmed.net:8088
    Correct setup: http://fileserver.occmed.net:8088/
    This will solve your problem.

  • Odd error (-3001) when using Software Update since Leopard upgrade

    Whenever I try to install anything that shows up in Software Update now, I get this error:
    You do not have appropriate access privileges.
    A networking error has occurred: Cannot open file (-3001). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.
    However, I AM connected to the Internet, and I AM an Admin. I should have no problems doing this, and the issue only tarted when I installed Leopard. Anyone know of a fix?

    Anyone have any ideas about this one? Still can't do a software update.

  • When I attempt to use software Update, and am then prompted for my Apple ID and password, my apple ID is not complete and it is 'grayed out' so I cannot change it.

    When I attempt to use Software Update, then go to 'Update All', I am then prompted to enter the password for my Apple ID, however my Apple ID does not come up as complete, and it is 'grayed out' and I cannot change it, therefore it is impossible for me to update my software.  How can I change the Apple ID to the correct ID?

    You need to delete the application and then download it from the desired Apple ID.

  • After I installed the recent Apple security patch, I can no longer save PDFs when using Safari. And Firefox no longer can open website PDFs. Any suggestions?

    If the previous Safari suggestion doesn't work try the following:
    In Finder, go to Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins and move AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin to the Disabled Plug-ins Folder.  Restart Safari.  If this works you may just want to delete that FUBAR plug-in.
    Thanks.  This was the solution for me.

  • Can you change the Bitrate when you use the "Compressor" High Quality...?

    I am having problems with the amount of video in DVD SP and I think I need to lower the bitrate when I compress out of FCP. Can you change the Bitrate when you use the "Compressor" High Quality setting?
    Thanks,

    Yes. Duplicate the preset, then customize it all you want.

  • Can't download updates using software update or from apple's site

    I just got my mac about a week ago. i am trying to download the updates using software update, but they only partially download. After awhile, I get an error message (-1001) that says to check the network connection and try again later. I have tried several times and I still get the same thing. Also, when i try to download the updates from Apple's site, they only partially download as well and then it says they "timed out". This is happening with all downloads i have attempted. The download speeds start out around 150 kb/s but then just start to drop and the download times out. I have to keep stopping and restarting the downloads to get them to finish which gets annoying when the file is large. Any suggestions???
    Thanks

    I am connected to the internet via a wireless network set up in my home. There are two other PCs connected to the network, one a desktop and the other a laptop. Neither have had any problems using or connecting to the internet. I have a DSL connection. I have tried to directly connect with the router with an ethernet cable, but the same thing happens.

    i wan't update using itunes, i want to make update using my phone, but when check for an update using software update in setting message appear " can't check for update....."?

    Reboot the device and see if the error happens again. Updating through iTunes is usually optimal, but the file size differs via Software Update on the device and iTunes (50MB vs ~800MB)

  • When trying to use software update, get error NSURLErrorDomain error -1100

    I don't know if this is a result of anything I did.  It started happening after I installed the latest version of Garageband.  When I went into that app, and selected one of the instruments, it directed me to use software update to get all the data for the instruments.  That's when I first got the message box.  Later, I uninstalled Garageband, and still the update problem continues.  Obviously, when this problem first occurs, it will have been after installing *some* app, so I have no way of knowing whether Garageband is involved.   I don't think I can update any of my applications until this problem is fixed.
    The full text of the message box:
    An error has occurred
    The operation couldn't be completed.
    (NSURLErrorDomain error -1100.)

    Try this:
    Fix for Software Update
    See Troubleshooting Automatic Software Update in Mac OS X.
    Delete the following files:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.xxx.plist where "xxx" is a number.
    /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/ (delete entire folder)

  • Why I can not change the display when I turn the Ipad from horizontal to vertical position ?

    Please help to give me the guide line to solve the problem in my Ipad
    I can not change the display when I move the ipad from horizontal position to vertical position

    Have you got a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If so, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can lock rotation either by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
    If there is no lock symbol then try a reset and see if rotates after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I cannot change apple id when the app store asks me to update anything

    i cannot change apple id when the app store asks me to update anything

    App Store products can only be updated by signing in to the store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to download them. You can't update anything, including your own purchases, as long as there are pending updates linked to the other ID.
    If you can't sign in with the other ID, you have to delete all the apps that are linked to it. If you don't know which apps those are, see below.
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. 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.
    4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Delete each such item by following the instructions in the Apple Support article linked above.
    5. Quit and relaunch the App Store.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • How can I change Country/Region when I still have store credit balance?

    I registed an iTunes account when I lived in Japan and I used Prepaid Card to redeem Japanese Yen to account (Country/Region=Japan). I have 60Yen in account now, this amount is smaller than cheepest apps (cost 85Yen).
    Right now, I came back to Vietnam and want to change Country/Region and  to continue purchase apps in Apple Store:
    - When I change Country/Region, I received error message "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores.". But I couldn't spend money due to not enough money.
    - When I change Payment Type to Visa card, I received error message "You payment method is not valid in this Store. Please enter a new payment method."
    How can I change Country/Region when I still have store credit balance? Please help me solve this issue.

    You can't change your account's country when you have a balance on it. If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes support and ask if they can remove the balance for you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
