Discovering someone has accessed app store from my computer..?

Hi,
I just went on to the apple store to update some programs. When I clicked update, the window asking for my app store password popped up. Usually my email address is already filled in. Only this time there was some one elses email address there. You'll say it's not a problem, all i need to do is replace it. But how come someone else has connected to the app store from my macbook. No one has had access to my macbook, it's password protected. In addition the email address is (...)@mail.ru which is a russian website, everyone I know has nothing to do with Russia and can't speak russian.
Could someone have pirated my computer? What is going on?
Thanks,
Pete

    Another way is to open your Time Machine back up or clone (if you have one) and copy the App Store app from the /Applications to your Macintosh HD's /Application folder.
    Right click on the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar.
    Select Enter Time Machine; then navigate to a date you know it was still there and copy if from the /Applications folder.

    Install the v10.6.7 combo update.
    Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
    It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.

    When I run the diagnostic tool for network connectivity, my network connects but I get a Red light that says "SECURE LINK TO THE ITUNES STORE FAILED".
    Can anyone help me on this problem?

    ITunes won't connect all I get is the "accessing iTunes store......". With the bar scrolling but no connection.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • HT204053 I rfor ntly changed my email address and apple id- when accessing app store from my iphone the old id (email address) still apears on the log in screen - cant change and access app store

    I recently changed my email address and also my apple id to match- this is all working OK and I can access store ,apple account etc - however when I get notifications on my i phone to update apps via app store the log in screen still show my old apple id -email address which is no longer valid. when I enter my password I am denied access - there is no comand on my i phone to change the log in id for the app store ( there is for changing password or forgotten password only) does anyone have the solution for me please - many thanks, fijijohn

    when I get notifications on my i phone to update apps via app store the log in screen still show my old apple id
    That's because apps are forever tied permanently to the Apple ID that bought them, even if they were free. That is the only ID that can ever update them.
    Unfortunately you went about this the wrong way. Rather than making a new Apple ID with the new email address, you should have just changed the name and email address associated with the old ID. Now you are kind of screwed because it's too late to use the new email on the old ID since you used it to create a new Apple ID. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another and Apple doesn't merge IDs.
    You can try to resurrect the old Apple ID with a new email address and maintain two Apple IDs, or decide which ID and it's content you wish to abandon.

  • Can only access App store from home, but can get on internet anywhere

    I have a wifi-only iPad. I have no trouble accessing the internet anywhere that there is wifi available. However, I can never access the app store, and can never update such apps as USA Today, the New York Times, and the Kindle App unless I am in my house. How can I fix this?

    The reason for that can be a bad WiFi connection, so the answer from the server is not coming quick enough (check the signal bars on your iPad) or the other reason could be that at this router certain ports are blocked.
    Maybe go to a public WiFi with a good signal (usually a restaurant or coffee-shop)

  • I have somehow accidentally removed the mac app store from my computer.  How do I get it back?

    One day, I looked at my mac app store to see a question mark on the icon.  I am not sure how it was deleted but it seems that it has been.  I checked the applications folder, I searched for "app store" and "mac app store" and it seems to have vanished from my computer.
    I would like to get it back.
    Please help.

    Here's the link for the v10.6.7 combo update which should reinstall the App Store.app for you.

    Hello Johnnay123456,
    Thanks for the question. When encountering iTunes Store connectivity issues, the following resources provide the best solutions:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    Troubleshoot issues on a Mac
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store, a software conflict or your Internet service provider (ISP) may be blocking your access.
    - Update iTunes and Safari to the latest version.
    - If you have a firewall, your settings may be preventing you from connecting to the iTunes Store. Follow these steps to configure your firewall.
    - You may need to reset your keychain. Connection issues are occasionally caused by keychain issues. Learn how to use Keychain First Aid to resolve any issues with your keychain.
    - If you're receiving a specific error message, follow these steps.
    - If the issue still persists, contact your Internet service provider and confirm that these ports and servers are enabled over your network.
    If the above does not resolve your issue, see the advanced steps in this article:

  • Iphone4 wont connect to home wifi connects to neighbors..others iphones ipads connect to this wifi cannot change it and cannot access apps store. Does nor request password just "cannot access"

    Iphone 4 wont connect to home wifi but connects to neighbors open wifi.  Family members with iphones can connect to the wifi automatically and Mac compiuter in home connects to this wifi and this iphone did connect automaticcally until a few weeks ago.  Does not request password when try to connect to own wifi..just says "cant access.". Also cant access the Apple apps store to purchase apps but all other function operate normally. Apple store tech says nothing wrong with phone. It connected to their wifi and coud access apps store from their wifi.     This iphone belongs to son who is autistic.  I am mother trying to resolve this issue and very frustrated.  Have reset router but no change.

    Based on the symptoms, your phone is fine, and the Router is the problem.   Try http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398.  Specifically the "forget this network" step.  I would also consider resetting the wifi network password.  Sometimes that will allow a connection.

    I am receiving a message that my ID has been disabled, and I followed the steps to change the password, but still receive the same message.  Cannot access app store or do updates.

    In what way are you receiving this message? It is very common to get an email telling you that your ID has been disabled, and asking you to confirm all your details so the sender can steal your identity online.....

    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed.

If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
