How can I update programs that were purchased for me?

I received a laptop that was preloaded with Final Cut Pro and Motion. I have updated the OS to 10.9.1 and when I try to install upates for FCP and Motion I get the Apple ID for the person who installed the original programs and no way to change it to my ID. Is there an easy way to transfer them to my ID so I can continue with the updates?
Thanks,
Paul

There's no way at all except to delete them and then buy them from your Apple ID.

  • How can I download albums that were purchased on my iPhone, and I dont have my iPhone anymore?

    I had my iPhone stolen and I had purchased two albums and did not get to sync my phone how do i retrive those albums?

    The link provided for reloading music is currently US only
    If you reside outside the US and don't have a backup you may be out of luck
    All you can do is contact iTunes, no guarantee

  • How can I update apps that were installed using another Apple ID

    I have an ipad that was set up by my school. I use my own apple ID however it came preinstalled with Pages, Keynote and Numbers. However according to my app store these apps need to be updated. I press update and insted of asking me for MY apple ID, it asks for the schools.
    Is there a way of updating this app with out needing to schools apple ID password. The guy that created it has since left and no-one knows what he set the password to.
    Thanks

    Delete and redownload them.

  • Updating apps that were purchased with an old account

    How do I update apps that were purchased under prior email account? I no longer have this email address but the app updates keep prompting me for it.

    Apps are forever tied to the account used to download them.  That means they will always require it to update. The fact the email is no longer functional has nothing to do with this.
    If you still have the password for the Apple ID (not the email account) you can still use it.  You can also go to appleid.apple.com and update the email address for the Apple ID there to a functioning one so the Apple ID remains useable.

  • How can I tell which apps were purchased on my account?

    I did search for answers but couldn't find one that fit.
    I have an iPhone and so does our son. 
    Early on my son purchased apps on my account and downloaded them on HIS iphone.  Eventually, I got him his own iPhone account and so he has also purchsed apps on his own account and downloaded them on his phone. 
    When we open iTunes and connect his phone, there is a list of apps that are on his phone.
    QUESTION
    How can we tell which apps were purchased on HIS iTunes acct and which were purchased on MY iTunes acct? 
    I don't want to DO anything with the apps, I just want to know one from another. 
    Thanks in advance!!

    List of authorized computers - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4090165 - there isn't one.

    You can restore them from your backup - if you havn't got a backup then you'll need to re-purchase them. Media (music, films, tv shows) can only be downloaded from iTunes once, which is why you are advised to make and maintain backup(s) of your purchased (and any other important) content.

  • How do i update applications that were downloaded with a different apple id

    how do i update applications that were downloaded with a different apple id

    You can't. The iLife apps get tied in with not only the Apple ID, but the Mac that they were accepted on.The Mac App Store will always remeber that the iLife apps have been accepted once before already on this Mac and will only offer to update them with the Apple ID into whose account they were accepted.

    At this time the only way to reprint ePrint emails is to have the original sender resend the email to the printer.

  • I have lots of duplicate songs in ITunes. How can I tell which ones were purchased vs ripped?

    I am trying to delete duplicate songs in iTunes library. How can I tell which ones were iTunes purchases and which ones I ripped from CD's.

    If you turn on the Kind column your purchases will read Purchased AAC audio file or Protected AAC audio file.
    BTW I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.

  • How to make a program that will ask for a name the first time the program is used and if is not the first time will not ask the name?

    I want to make a program that will ask for the ID of the testing machine the first time the program is running, then will never ask for it. I'm using Labview 6.0

    Hi
    There are a Couple of methods you can use for this.
    Method 1 -
    You can create an ini file and save a boolean Key "First Instance" as True. Now In your Program you read this Key, If it is True then you can show your ID Dialog VI.If False do not run the VI. At the Conclusion of Id Dialog you can update this registry enrty to False. So In effect you have created One time Event. In fact you can save ID as another Config entry.
    The Drawback and advantage is that such an INI file can be edited by someone moderately knowledgeable about the Program
    Method 2
    Use Unitialized Shift Register in A while Loop. Please see LV2 style Globals entry under this forum. You can read and write to this Variable and it retains the Value it last had within it.
    You can read
    this Global the Very first time and say if it true you display your ID Vi. If False you dont. When you display your ID Vi you can Update your Global Like Before.
    If you need Example Let me Know.
    Good Luck

  • How do you update apps that where purchased using different iTunes accounts?  I get a cannot connect to iTunes message and it won't accept the password even after you change it.

    Both my iPad and iPhone have the same problem.  I have purchased apps with three different accounts. I understand I will need to use the original acct to do the update but every time it asks for the password I put it in and get a message that I cannot connect to iTunes store. I have even had the password reset and it still will not connect on the upgrade.  But I can sign in with that account and purchase new apps i am loading a free one now just to make sure. So what is that about?  Please do not tell me I have to also use the original password!  We have reset them so many times that there is no way to remember the original one used at time of purchase a year and 1/2 ago.  Please help. I have also upgraded to the iCloud thinking this would solve the problem but it still exists.

    I use only one Apple ID and only one ID. I did have to change the password at one point but I had no issues at all with updating apps after I changed the password.
    If you can download new apps with the ID that you changed the password for, I would think that you will be able to update apps associated with that ID as well.
    Did you try restarting the iPad after signing out of the one account and then sign in to the other account/accounts?
