Delete update from App store update notification window

I have a Mplayer X software update notification that I can't get rid of. When I click the update button a dialog ballon pops up that says: You have updates available for other accounts. Sign in to [email protected] to update applications for that account.  I have no idea what that means and I don't believe I ever had a Mac.com account. I have since then updated MPlayer X by other means yet this notification persists. It says the release date was May 02, 2012 just to give you an idea of how long this has been annoying me.
The consensus seems to be you just have to put up with the annoyance but I think my particular issue differs from the others I've seen posted here.

You installed a hacked application, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different application, downloaded from another account. You need to identify and remove the hacked application.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination 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 initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've 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 applications were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you know of, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
If any of the items listed in the search window are not listed among your purchases in the App Store, move them to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.

  • How do you get rid of the pending update from app store updates screen?

    I own an 64GB iPad 2+3G. The App Store icon has a red circle with a number 3 in it. That means I have 3 updates pending.
    I tried to download the updates to Pandora and Kindle using 3G at first. It did not work. I assumed it was because it was over 20 MB.
    (I did not try the Vegas Towers one.) I went to the library and it still would not download via their wifi.
    The description of the updates mention the retina display of the new iPad (3). Is that the cause of the download problem? I have already downloaded the iOS 5.1 at the library. Well, it is not that big a deal for me if I don't get the updates. But how do I get rid of the pending updates? How do I get rid of that little red circle? Also, I have not been able to use the Pandora or Kindle apps. They just keep saying waiting. I got boxes that said download failed and offering choice of done or retry. Since nothing happens, I chose done. So, I cannot update my apps, and in the meantime I cannot use the apps because the downloads stalled. I would like to abort the downloads and get rid of the updates from the update screen. I want to be able to use the apps again. Can anyone provide a solution? Thanks!

    Hi Panamark,
    The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
    I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
    I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
    It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
    As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
    I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
    I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
    I don't have any weather apps.
    Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

  • HT201314 I want to remove older updates from APP Store update page that will not install because they are not compatable with my OS Version 10.8.5

    There are a couple of updates on my APP STORE page that are extremely annoying, they can't be installed because they are to old for my OSX version 10.8.5, I want to delete or remove them so that Spotlight  stops telling me that I have 2 updates to install, when they can't be installed unless I revert to an older OS version.

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • HT204152 I am unable to update my App  store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.many times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like  Face book etc.

    I am unable to update my App  store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.Many a  times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like  Face book etc....Using ! phone 6plus  .IOS8.3

    What do you mean by 'refusing from the system', if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
    For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is and if you are getting a 'declined' message then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined : 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
    If when trying to download you are getting a message about a 'problem with a previous purchase' then that implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase. If that is the case then you won't be able to download anything else (including app updates) until you've paid off what you owe : Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    If you aren't getting the 'problem with a previous purchase' message then try logging into your account (not when trying to download something) and see if you get the 'none' option so that you can remove the card's details and be able to download updates to your apps : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

  • Numbers says update from app store macbook

    Numbers says update from app store (macbook update) but Apple site says software update if installed originally from disc.Neither works and won't open in Macbook?

    You say you used the App Store to update Aperture, but how did you buy Aperture orignally? Was your Aperture version bought from the App Store or did you buy Aperture as a retail version on DVD?

    why do i have to pay every time i update from app store?

    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

  • 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 to skip app updates from app store in iOS 5.1?

    I am using an older generation iPod running iOS 5.1 that cannot be upgraded to iOS 6. I now have app store updates that show as a red badge but I cannot install them because they are only compatible with iOS 6 (Shazam, etc...). How can I skip these irrelevant updates? I dislike always having a warning for an update that I cannot install, and I'd rather not delete the app. Please advise what to do to fix the problem. Thanks.

    there a way I can fix it so that I can close the old account but still be able to update those other apps?
    No.
    You will need to use both accounts to update your apps unless you repurchase them on the new account.
