Can't Update App I already purchased

I'm trying to update the Server app and it says that it's available to be updated but when I click on it to do so it tells me "You have updates available for other accounts. To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." Thing is, I AM signed in under that account. And yes, I tried logging out a few times and logging back in. I only know of two iTunes accounts so I tried the other one too just for giggles even though I know it wasn't used to purhcase the app and I have the same error.
Now I've updated the app on two other machines with no issues. It's something to do with this particular server. Any ideas?
Thanks.

To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it -
Try these two;
1. Sign out while on the update page, then click to update the app and put in your username and password. It should update.
2. Delete the adoption plist
Library/Application Support/App Store/adoption.plst
Failing those two, use Spotlight to reindex the HDD.

Not for me here in the UK. It could depend on your location. Sometimes you get service breaks in one country but not another.

App Store not letting me download free games or even let me update apps I already have!

Ok, so I tried purchasing a item in a game I have (not knowing how much I have in my bank account). App Store denied it so I'm like ok whatever I don't care. Well now whenever I try to download free apps or eve. Update apps I already have the store makes me sign in, and wants me to update my billing information because there was an error with my last purchase because it didn't go through.

It didn't go through I don't care I just wanna update my apps and be able to download free Apps without having to update my information then apple charging for something I don't want anymore.... Can anyone tell me how to fix this? I already tried removing the card! I don't have a "none" option when I try to remove it so... Yeah

You must have a valid form of payment on your account even for updates and free apps.

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will have to delete the apps from the phone and re-purchase them using your Apple ID.

HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases. Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

I can't update apps or download apps from Mac App Store

I am running OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro less than 3 yrs old.
I have 2.66 Ghz Intel I7 processor
4GB memory 1067MHZ DDR3

I can't update apps or download apps from Mac App Store
King...
Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8
Then restart your Mac, launch the App Store.
Try updating / downloading apps.

Updating apps that were purchased with an old account

How do I update apps that were purchased under prior email account? I no longer have this email address but the app updates keep prompting me for it.

Apps are forever tied to the account used to download them. That means they will always require it to update. The fact the email is no longer functional has nothing to do with this.
If you still have the password for the Apple ID (not the email account) you can still use it. You can also go to appleid.apple.com and update the email address for the Apple ID there to a functioning one so the Apple ID remains useable.

HT201272 Can't update apps or buy songs or apps

Hi can't update apps or buy from iTunes . I was able to do all of this but can't now can anymore help me plz

Hi..
Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

Multiple issue: Newly created passwords don't work/ can't update apps.

My issue is more with my apple i.d. than with my devices, which are an ipad 3 and an iphone 4 (will be upgrading soon). A few weeks ago, an icloud message popped up asking for my password. When I entered my password, it didn't work. I tried my password in several other places and it wasn't working, so I went into iForgot and changed it. It still wasn't working, so I tried changing it again, still no luck. This cycle continued for some time, recreating my apple id password over and over. I am using the same apple i.d. that I was before, but I had to change my gamecenter id, losing access to some games. My biggest concern is that I can get into the app store to see my account, but I can't update apps on either device. It doesn't say that I have the incorrect password, try again. It just does nothing. When I look at my account settings, I see that there is a password already in place (a previous password, can't see the digits, only the number of characters), but it is not the new one I created. When I try to put mine in it just reverts back to the old password, still leaving me unable to update my apps. About a week after this started, my wife and I noticed a dollar charge to our itunes account that we didn't do, we investigated and found out that my itunes account had been hacked. Apparently, the scam works when a small charge goes through and then once it does, much more is spent on itunes. I took my card off file and am waiting to get my apps updated, before I enter a new one. There are numerous issues happening and I'm not really sure where to begin. Any suggestions would be helpful.

TS1424 My app store shows different apple Id. I changed the ID in general settings under app store. Still no changes. Can't update apps now

Apps store on my iPad shows different apple ID. I changed the ID under general settings for apps store, but it didn't help. Still see different ID when entering the store. Now I can't update apps and resetting iPad doesn't help. What to do?

Use the correct login/password that the app was purchased with.

HT2731 How can I update apps when the screen just goes blank?

How can I update apps on my iPad my screen is just blank. My phone updates fine.

There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app on their iPads - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list (potentially going through the A to Z list on the left-hand side of the screen, and similarly tapping the 'iPad Apps' button at the top left of the screen and selecting 'iPhone Apps') to find those with updates and individually update them.

HT204266 changed email but doesn't show up to login on ipad so I can't update apps

changed email but doesn't show up to login on ipad so I can't update apps. Any solution?

As long as you didn't create a new ID and merely changed the email address that you use for your Apple ID - go to Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your old ID and sign out. Then sign in with the changed ID.
If you created a new ID, you need to continue to use the old ID in order to update apps since purchases are always tied to the ID used to make the purchase.
