How can I delete updates ready to install?

I regularly download software outside of the Mac App Store. I now have an item "Angry Birds" available as an update in my App Store list. I don't have Angry Birds. I've never played Angry Birds (would you believe). I've never downloaded Angry Birds. I also don't know what I downloaded that's triggered this. Trick is, I can't install this update either as my user name and the user name for the update don't match.
This is quite frustrating. How can I delete this from my update list?
Thanks

How can I delete updates that I don't want from HP Support Assistant?

I keep getting pop-ups from HP Support Assistant that I have updates. The only updates in there are 2 optional updates to install BING, which I don't want. Is there any way to delete these 2 optional updates so that I won't keep getting that pop-up?? Thank you very much!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

It is as simple as "right click" on the BING update and select "hide". When you re-enter the update program, you will notice the BING update is not shown.

Since you are in Egypt, your phone is unlocked. If they told you not to upgrade it then it is not officially unlocked. Nothing you can do will allow you to upgrade this phone. Sorry.

The e mail address in my I tunes setting is different but when I update my apps a different e mail address come . How can I delete the e mail address which shows for updating apps

The e mail address which is in the setting of my I tune store does not show up when I install apps or update them it shows a different email address how can I delete the e mail which shows up while updating apps & switch to the one already in my settings

All apps include DRM protection that is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
This means the apps that need an update were downloaded with the Apple ID you are being prompted for.

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?

If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

Delete those apps that are not under your Apple ID and re-download them using your Apple ID.

Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

All items that you download from the iTunes store are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account can download updates to its apps.
If you are referring to apps from the Mac App Store then you will be better off asking in the Using Mac App Store forum (this is the iTunes Store forum).

Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

You cannot.
The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases.

Locked on an update can mean a couple of different things. So there are a number of things to try, but start with these.
If you have a "waiting" icon, try tapping on the icon and see if you can pause the update/download. Of it pauses, tap on it again and see if it will resume.
Try holding down on the icon until all of the icons on the screen wiggle. If the X to delete pops up on the waiting/stalled app - tap the X to delete the app. Tao,the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
You can also try this and see if the downloads will resume. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
