Changing apple ID to update from Apps Store.

Trying to update my apps from App Store.  When asked to sign in, another  apple ID comes up (ID belongs to a person who borrowed my Mac).  It is greyed out and will not let me change it.  How do I change it? 

The app that this person's Apple ID appears for is their app. You cannot update their app with your Apple ID. Having their app on your Mac is software piracy. Delete the app and buy it with your own Apple ID.

  • How do I remove a secondary apple id from my Mac? I am being prompted for a apple id password for a former user; I do not have the information.  Prevents updates from App Store.

    How do I remove a secondary Apple ID that is not in use from my MacBook pro? The ID does not belong to me and when I attempt to download updates from App Store with my Apple ID, I am prompted for the password of the secondary Apple ID.

    Is this a second hand Mac? If so, you need to erase the Mac and install the version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac from the factory. Then you set the Mac up as new with your Apple ID.
    User Linc Davis explains how a new owner can prepare a 2nd hand Mac for their own use.

    when downloading an update from app store, password is requested from a different user.  How to change user?

    Unfortunately there's no way around this.  you will need that password to update the apps. If he won't give it to you, then i'm not sure what to say.
    You should have kept the account with the Apps you bought yourself.
    Otherwise, as I said, delete the Apps, and buy them again.
    Sorry.

    If you have any questions about your account in particular rather than questions about why something is the way it is, it would be better to contact itunes support at expresslane.apple.com than to talk to us about it. we can't tell you specific information about your account, only how things work in general

  • Unable to update from apps store

    After downloading Yosemite I can not update from apps store. This is the prompt I get:
    This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.
    Now Apple doesn't recognize the serial number of my iMac.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    From the menu bar, select
               ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.

  • When is apple going to update the App Store so it works with ios6......??

    When is apple going to update the App Store so it works with ios6......?? Yes I am joking I know it's been updated I'm just so fed up with it not working and apples lack of help. So to my point my app store will not load anything at all just stays blank and if I'm lucky it even crashes for me and every now and then it installs 2 or 3 of the same app with out warning it's installed a game 3 times that takes 1gb each time. Idk if anyone can help cool if not I'm going to get a ice-cream sandwich.

    What kind of network connection are you using? Is it cellular data or WiFi? If WiFi, is it your own?  I have seen some business WiFi configuration that block network access to some sites. This can confuse the apps.
    I would also try one of the other apps, like iBooks, that uses the store. That would help isolate the problem.

  • TS1702 cannot update from app store

    Hi
    I have 2 updates in app store and i can't updated.

    - Have you tried using the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find it
    - Is it hidden by rRestrictions: Settings>General>Restrictions.
    You saying "I tried everthing" provides us no information as to what you actually tried.

  • Recently upgraded to Maverick from SnowLeopard. Unable to get updates from App store.

    iMac seriously screwing up. HD corrupted. Erased. Installed Maverick (had SnowL before). iPhoto 11 and iMovie 9.0.4both missing after installing Maverick. Downloaded updates from Apple.com and was able to get pictures and movies back and updated to 9.4 for iPhoto and 9.0.4 for iMovie. Got message that both can be updated more. However when I tried, the App store sent message that with my new Apple ID it was bought by different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. True I had changed my password recently, but App store is not getting it.

    I too was being denied updates to iPhoto and was intending to simply delete the apps as I mainly use Photoshop.
    I noticed your communication.
    I went into my account hit reset and then went to install and it worked, I now have iPhoto 9.5.1!
    I probably still won't use it very much but it was maddening being denied the update.
    Thank you for finding such a simple solution!

  • Aperture 3.1.1 update from app store

    I bought aperture 3.1.1 in app store, but I can't update to new version 3.1.2 or 3.1.3, why?

    Open the Mac App Store app, click on Purchases to see if Aperture is listed. If its there, it should tell you if an update is available. If it's not there, are you logged in to the same App Store account you used to purchase Aperture?
    If you've moved Aperture out of the Applications folder or changed its name it could be the cause of your problem. Aperture should remain in the Applications folder and should be named "Aperture".
    If you're using software update (from the Apple menu), that is another cause. App store purchases must be updated using the app store application.
