Help! Can't update apps after installing Yosemite

I am working on a Mac Book Pro from 2011.  When I got my Mac I had a different Apple ID and password. After installing Yosemite, I need to update iphoto as well as a few other apps, however when I try, I get this message.
Update Unavailable with This Apple ID - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the tiem was refunded or cancelled.
Does anyone know how I can get things to update.  I cant remember my old Apple id.
Thank you

I had the same problem, but found the solution. In the AppStore click the "purchases" tab next to the "Update" tab. There you have to accept the items as new, and they will begin to download after entering your AppleID. Good luck!

  • I can't update iPhoto after installing yosemite

    i can't update or open iPhoto after installing yosemite

    Ok so here's what you gonna do. (had this problem myself today, and after some fiddling figured out what to do.)
    Find your old iPhoto with a cross through it, right-click it and select 'show package contents'. A folder will open. In that folder go to Contents>MacOS and there will be three little things there. Click on the one called 'iPhoto' and terminal will open. Leave terminal open and wait four seconds and VOILA! iPhoto opens. Leave terminal open until you are finished with iPhoto, because if you close terminal, iPhoto will close with it. THX! ENJOY! Hope it works.
    P.S.
    You can close terminal once you close iPhoto. I also suggest backing up your iPhoto library while you can.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press 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 of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are 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 apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s

    Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s
    I can no longer update apps on my iPhone 4s after the IOS 8 update. The IOS 8 update took a very long time to complete, maybe 12 hours, and afterwards, it worked but updating packages were very slow. Package updates have since been problematic and about 4 days ago, it stopped being able to update any packages. I click on them to update and they never make any progress. I have 2.8 Gbytes free and I keep deleting more and more packages, pictures, etc. It seems like, from the amount of stuff that I have deleted, I should have more than 2.8 Gbytes free.
    Is anyone else having this kind of problem?

    16GB iPhone4: Go to Settings, scroll down to iTunes &amp; App Stores and touch. At the top of the next page it shows: Apple ID. Touch this. Select Sign Out. Your Apple ID will go away. Re-enter Apple ID and password. Try App Store again.
       Other solutions were to go to Settings:General:Date&amp;Time and turn off auto-update, then change date to next year. This didn't work for me, nor a lot of other users on the forums. It took reading a lot of threads to find the log-out, log-in solution. Even on the official Apple Website all I saw was: Make sure your connection is working, battery is charged, desktop is plugged in when you try to sync. OK I exaggerate, but with all the users posting this problem, you'd think they'd post their solutions when they work with a Tech Help call.

    I have resolved this issue with the apple chat support by going to the "purchases" tab in the app store - where there was a message that I had to accept updates for the apps that wouldn't update.  Once I did this, signing in for each of them, they all updated just fine.

  • Can't load photoshop after installing yosemite

    Having trouble loading PS5.5 after installing Yosemite - getting error message 'An unexpeced and unrecoverable problem has occurred, photoshop will now exit'. 

    FOUND MY FIX. I did the 8.25 update for Java...no luck. So I dug a little more. Looks like it was trying to send me to a support.apple link that was dead, so I went digging for where it was trying to point me.
    Java for OS X 2014-001
    FIXED!

  • Unable to update iPhoto after installing yosemite on iMac

    recently installed yosemite OS, but cannot open iPhoto without update  and cannot find update.

    Its been like this for 2 hours...
    It may be hanging, because you are running out of storage - do you have at least 10GB of fee disk space?
    Or something is interfering with your connection to the App Store - anti virus software, a firewall. If you have any such software running, restart yor mac in Safe Mode and try reinstalling in this mode:  Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
    If that does not help either, ask in the App Store forum.

  • Can't open Photoshop after installing Yosemite

    Hi all, Not sure if this in the right place? I've got a Macbook Pro and have recently just installed the Yosemite operating system. After installing it, I have tried to open Photoshop but it is not allowing me to do so. Photoshop tells me to install Java 6.0 - even though I've already done this twice! Can anyone advise please?

    Did you delete Photoshop's preferences before re-installing? If you didn't, then you ended up rightwhere you started after re-installing.  Uninstalling and re-installing does not delete the corrupted preference files.
    In addition, do not forget what I said:
    […delete Photoshop's preferences before re-installing…] thenUninstall Photoshop, run Adobe CS Cleaner Tool, Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility, install Photoshop from scratch, update it, run Repair Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility AGAIN
    Finally, apply all the available updates again, as the re-install wil instal the ancient, original CS5 version.
    Have you actually done all of this as already instructed in this thread?  If not, then please do not post again until you have done so.

  • Can't update iPhoto after loading yosemite

    Uploaded Yosemite and can't update iPhoto.  message is that the app was bought by another user or cancelled.  Not true.  What should I do?

    How can I get a 'redeem code'?  I have the same problem.
    In that case you need a redeem code for iPhoto from the App Store to be able to update.
    Obviously you contact App store support - link is on the right of the App store window

  • I can't update apps, after updating to iOS 5

    After updating to ios5, all updates of apps cannot continue, but I can download new apps from the AppStore

    I am having the exact same problem.

  • Can't update apps after location replacing..

    Hello guys.
    I've recently replaced my iTunes ID account location.
    Since then, everytime iTunes tells me that there are new updates for my iPhone apps, iTunes refers me to a page that tells me that there are no updates (just after clicking "Check for updates" icon). My only option to update my iPhones apps is only in my iPhone.
    Any help?
    Thanks

    To answer you Oh yes I waited.... in fact almost 3 hours and it should not take that long..... I actually ended up restoring it and starting all over again. Seemed to work! We will see....
    Thank you

    Or repurchase the apps with your AppleID.

  • Firefox 4 can't update plugins after installing

    After installing Firefox 4 it checks the updates for installed plugins. The program becomes unresponsive. When I installed it for the first time, I let it continue for 4 hours, then I killed the process.
    After killing the process I tried to open Firefox. It wont open.
    I've tried everything from re-installing to system restore, but it just wont work.
