Can't get updates from Mac App Store

I changed my password. Now, I can't get updates to apps bought using the old PW. Error msg: "Download using your other account." What "other" account? Change back to the old PW and download the upgrades, then go back to the new PW?

After I reset my password, Mac App Store told me to sign in to my account and verify that I had a valid method of payment set up. Naturally, I do have such a method. But Done does't work because I have to verify an account that, according to MY Account, is already verified. But, what the hey? Apple has my back against the wall. I re-verify it. Apple says, "Account verified. Return to App Store."
Nothing has changed. I verify my MOP again. I get the same good news.
Nothing has changed. I give up for the night..
Today, I open up Mail. Two messages from Apple. Each says that my account has been de-authorized. That is, each time that I "verified" my MOP, I was, somehow, actually DE-verifying it!
So, I set up a new MOP with no apparent probs, except that,
MOP?!!! What MOP?! !'ve ALREADY PAID! What does it matter whether I have an MOP, if I'm not BUYING anything?!!! But, what are you going to do?
All right. I've now completely redone everything, including deleting App Store with Amnesia and doing a whole 'nother install.
I try to download an update.
You have updates available for other accounts.
To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.
I have a single account. I've never had any other. I have fifteen (15!) apps waiting to be updated.
As far as I can tell, the trouble started after I put in a new password - before I knew that I was going to have a problem - after having used the old one from the opening of the MAS. Everything that had an update from after that date is  updated. The fifteen non-updatables are from before the password change.
Thank you for trying.

    How come I can't download anything from mac app store?
    I've tried everything it all started when my apple app store icon in the doc disappeared.
    It will not go to the Mac App Store
    I have a MacBook Pro 2010 intel
    os mac mountain lion 10.8.6 however I do not have the original copy that was downloaded from the app store when I bought it.
    I NEED TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL TO GET MY APP STORE ICON BACK
    Please if anyone can help apple doesn't seem to care?

    If you need to reinstall Mac OS X 10.8.x (there is no 10.8.6 yet, by the way), restart your Mac, hold down the Option key so you see all the bootable partitons, and boot to the Recovery Partition. From there you can reinstall Mountain Lion. You will need a good Internet connection.

  • IPhoto 9.2.1 update from Mac App Store will not update from 9.1.5

    I downloaded the iPhoto 9.2.1 update from Mac App Store.
    When I try to update from 9.1.5 to 9.2.1, I get the message: "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store."
    Since the Mac App Store is where I downloaded the update from, I don't know how exactly to proceed.
    Any suggestions?

    Terence and Peter,
    I have iPhoto 9.1.5 which was installed on my iMac that I received November, 2011.
    My wife has the 9.2.1 version of iPhoto on her MacBook Pro which she bought months before I bought my iMac.
    My iPhoto library opens fine in 9.1.5 on my iMac but will not open the copy of her iPhoto library that I copied to my iMac. We have two libraries and I want the same one she has instead of two separate libraries.
    I went to the Mac App Store and downloaded iPhoto9.2.1 Update.dmg to my desktop.
    I then opened the .dmg and clicked on the iPhoto9.2.1Update.pkg.
    The install iPhoto Update window started to open briefly before the Alert message "The version of iPhoto installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available" appeared.
    I checked the MAS and found this link and this is what I downloaded: http://support.apple.com/downloads#iPhoto%209.2.1
    hth, Bob

  • I can't download Pages from Mac App Store

    I have been having some trouble in dowloading Page from Mac App Store.
    I had dowloaded and used before, but recently I reinstalled the Mac OS.
    When the download reachs amost 10MB, it restarts a few times and gives me the message: "Pages failed to download. Use the Purchases page to try again."
    I tried both two following methods:
    1 - open $TMPDIR/../C* and deleted com.apple.appstore
    2 - Quit App Store.
    Open Terminal.
    Execute this: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
    Launch App Store.
    At the Menu bar, there should be a "Debug".
    Click on that and press "Reset Application"
    Restart App Store.
    But none of them worked for me.
    Can anyone help me?
    Cheers.

    Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
    Step 2
    Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
    8.8.8.8
    8.8.4.4
    That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.

  • Getting error NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 when trying to get updates from the App Store.  Are updates still available for OS below Maverick?

    Started getting this error today (01/14/2014) when trying to download updates from the App Store for my MBAir 11" mid 2013.  Error:  NSURLErrorDomain error -1100
    Are updates still available for OS below Maverick?

    That error may result from connecting to a cellular network via a phone or mobile broadband device. If that's what you're doing, try another network.

  • How can I get credit in Mac App Store for software installed from CD?

    So I have purchased iLife '11 and iWork '09 disks.  I have had them installed on my MacBook Pro since 2010.  The Mac App Store has happily been updating the all the apps for as long as I can remember.  However, the MAS doesn't recognize the iLife and iWork apps as INSTALLED.  I tried a "fix" to drop a MAS receipt into the individual app's Packages, and it did change the MAS to show them as INSTALLED.  However, to test whether the MAS really saw them as something I had purchased and could then reinstall, I deleted the Numbers app.
    Now the MAS shows me needing to spend the $20 to get Numbers back.  I know I could just dig out the DVD and install it again.
    I am thinking of wiping my MBP drive and doing a clean install of Mountain Lion and am just trying to make sure I don't have to buy apps again, and am trying to get around re-installing from original DVDs and going through major time upgrading them through the MAS.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    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.
    You cannot get the MAS to recognize the iLife or iWork apps installed from disc and update them. These are two different versions of the apps. Falsifying the disc versions with copies of MAS receipts from other apps will not accomplish this, as it cannot be done. The apps from disc are updated through Software Update until they are at the end of their road. At that point you would need to purchase paid upgrades through the MAS.

  • How can I download lion from Mac app store in recovery mode on an imac?

    I bought a mid-2007 imac from a friend, who the computer was working perfectly for. When I went to start up it wouldn't start up (past the gray screen) from the regular HD no matter how many tricks I tried (resetting SMC, PRAM, etc), so I went in to recovery mode. I verified and repaired the disc more than once (even though it said it was fine), and tried to reinstall lion from the online recovery function but it said "item temporarily unavailable." I basically tried every combo of things possible before erasing the HD but nothing worked, so then I decided to erase the HD.
    SO that happened, and now I can still boot up in recovery mode and it -seems- like if I can find a way to reinstall lion (which was the last os running), I may be back in business.
    however, see the problem with "item temporarily unavailable."
    I decided to purchase it from the Mac store online on a different device and it says it will email me a link in 1-3 business days (really??! That long to save me with an EMAIL LINK???), and my thought is that maybe I can log in to my email from the safari window and download it that way. I'm just afraid that I won't be able to access the Mac app store if that is where it downloads from.
    Ultimately, I'm trying to avoid a trip to the Apple Store because this thing will be a nightmare to lug on public transportation. My questions for you are as follows:
    - how likely do you think it is that I'll be able to successfully download lion from the email link in recovery mode?
    - Do actual discs with lion exist anywhere in the wide world? If so, how can I get one?
    - would it be worth it to grab an old lion usb stick from amazon?
    - is there ANY other way to reinstall lion or install a new os on this thing without physically taking the computer anywhere?

    What a silly company , i have the same exact problem with my macbook pro and i've checked every topic that mention this problem and they didn't solve it .

  • TS1702 on my iPad, i can't open updates from the app. store

    I am trying to do updates on the app store on my ipad and it will not open. Any advice?

    Stil the same issue as of today. Updates is just a blank page. No messages, such as 'no updates', or anything like this. The updates page simply refuses to load at all. I think maybe Apple may require us to update to the latest iOS version. I'm on 6.1 on my iPad mini. However updates have always been extremely unpredictable for me and every time I have tried these my iPad gets stuck on the software update page and I have to download a tool to get it out of this. It can take a long time, so I would rather not do it. Besides which, there is nothing in the newst iOS version that I find compelling enough to want to do this. Can someone confirm/refute if iOS 6.1 has now somehow been excluded from recieving updates in the normal way?
    I don't see why I should change it anyway. It works/worked fine up until now.

  • Have logic Pro 9...can i get it from the app store for free?

    Hello,
    Some years back I purchased a new boxed version of Logic Pro 9.
    Should I continue to use that version, or would it be preferable in any way to switch to the app store version?
    If the latter, then is it possible to download it from the app store without having to pay, since I am already an owner of the boxed version?

    1. Yes. Well, actually, you should probably update (free) via Software Update. 9.1.7 is the current version.
    1b. No. Same app.
    2. is therefore moot, but, to be complete: no, that's not possible.

  • Why can't I get updates from the app store

    why can't I update my apps? It always ask for the password and then goes right back to update.

    Try signing out of iTunes & App Store then signing back in.
    Settings->iTunes & App Store.  Tap on your Apple ID then select sign out
    Restart your iPad
    Now, open Settings->iTunes & App Store - sign back in.
    See if you can update now.
    if not try Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings
    You won't lose any data but will have to log back into your wifi networks again,
    Hope this helps!

  • I can't install updates from the App Store

    I got my mother's old mac book pro and have encountered a problem I do not know how to fix. I can sign into my iTunes and the App Store just fine, but when I go to install updates to my mac it asks me to sign in again but it has my old email there for sign in and I can not change it. How can I fix this problem?
    I have tried resetting everything to default and I have even removed all other saved emails for sign in, but still encounter this problem.

    You need to delete and redownload the applications you’re trying to update; the old Apple ID is stored inside them.

  • Can't download files from Mac App Store

    My problem is, that when I try to re-download Empire Total Wars, that I bought some time ago, I get an error, that says, that I don't have enough free space.
    The game take 13.08 GB of free space, and I have 29.29 GB free space.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select

  • I can't download iMovie from Mac App Store

    I recommend you purchase iMovie on disk by purchasing iLife 11. (Amazon has it.)
    This is the ONLY way you will get iDVD. IDVD is not available on download.

  • I keep gettin updates from my app store but yet when I go in and update all it starts the update and then pops up and tells me that the application cannot be downloaded at this time. I have had to delete a few apps bc this isn't working.

    I keep getting updates from my app store but yet when I go in and update it starts the process but then a message pops up that says the download cannot be done at this time. I have had to delete a few apps because of this. I have also signed out and signed back into my account and turned my phone on and off and still does the same thing. Help!

    Hi tmcrae
    First check that your device is not full, maybe you may have to delete some photos or apps to make space to do updates. if its not full then you will have to try pluging it into your pc/mac running itunes then doing a backup and restore. Then you should be able to do your updates.
    Sorry but i cant think of any other way if its showing as installed already but is not there.
    Hope that helps
