How do I get the app store to allow me to enter my apple ID instead of someone else's?

I am a co-administrator with another user on my iMac, and the App Store keeps asking for their apple account password to be entered. I can not find how to change that so it asks for mine, and the other user is not present to ask for them to enter their password. Because of this, I can't download application updates. Any tips?

Hello -Tuck-,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The apps prompting you to sign in with a different Apple ID when updating were purchased with that Apple ID.  You will need to sign in with the Apple ID used to purchase or accept the applications before you can update them.
Alerts may occur when accepting bundled applications from the Mac App Store

    As you have 10.5.8 you need to upgrade to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store as this was the 1st version it came with.
    A workaround is to get a friend who has 10.6.6 or better to download Lion for you without installing it. You can create an App Store account on the friend's computer I think to do this. Copy the Lion installer from that computer to a USB stick or burn it to DVD and you should be able to install it on your own computer, I think. You might have to create an empty partition on your own computer first for Lion installation as I'm not sure that it will install over Leopard.

  • Tried to update an app and it asked for the password to my sister's Apple ID. I then checked to see whose Apple ID was logged in, in settings and it said that I was logged in. How do I get the app store to ask for MY Apple ID, not my sister's?

    Tried to update an app on my phone but when it asked me to give the password for my AppleID, it was asking for the password to my sister's AppleID. I went to setting and down to itunes&app store settings and checked which AppleID was logged in, but i found that it was my AppleID that was logged in, not my my sisters. I then tried logging out and logging back in again but the app store, regardless of this, still asks me for my sister's AppleID and I don't know her password...How do I get the app store to ask me for MY AppleID password, not my sister's?

    If this app was bought by your sister with her Apple ID, only her ID can update the app.

    Manually download and install the 10.6.8 v1.1 Update Combo. It will take your Mac to 10.6.8 in one installation and install the newest version of the Mac App Store for you.

    How do you get the app store back on your iPad

    My money is on one of the two suggestions that my colleague has given you, but if all else fails......
    You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.

    My App Store is deleted and the option to turn it back on in restrictions is grayed out. How do I get the App Store back?

    If a reset didn;t work, then you can try restoring your iPad. Don't restore from a back up because if there is a glitch with restrictions, it will just set that option up again. Of if you are sure you have a backup created before you changed restrictions settings, then you can back up from that.

  • Already bought iWork. How do I get the App Store to recognize App purchases that I've made over the past few years?

    I know I'm not the only person experiencing this issue, but I can't find who else has a solution. Essentially, I've been buying Mac Apps over the past few years and using them frequently. Now the App Store exists. Awesome. But how do I get the App Store to understand that I have all those past purchases and serial numbers? I'd love to download the Apps through the App Store because it's a better system of downloading and updating apps, but that convenience isn't worth the extra $300-400 I'd spend re-downloading all those apps.
    Does anyone have any advice or experience with a work around to this?
    Thanks in advance.

    As Carolyn has told you, you cannot opt Apple apps that you have acquired from some other distribution stream into the MAS stream. Period. It does not work that way. It will not be working that way. And many folks have come here wanting it to work that way over the last seven months or so that the MAS has existed.
    If your End User License Agreement does not allow you to install the apps that you have on your new Mac, then the only way to get it today for the new Mac is to buy it from the MAS. The MAS apps use a different type of DRM and there are no serial numbers involved, they are tied to your Apple ID. If you are not ready at this time to purchase apps from the MAS then I would remove the apps from any older Macs and install them on the new Mac to transfer your EULA there. Then when a major paid upgrade becomes available in the future opt that app into the MAS by buying it through the MAS. That should be the only way to get the app in the future, Apple no longer is issuing boxed apps, just currently selling off any of the surviving stock.

  • How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.

  • The app store icon on my sons IPOD is gone. How can I get the app store reinstalled ?

    The app store icon is gone from my sons ipod.  How do I
    get the app store reinstalled?

    The App Store is a default app and cannot be deleted. First make sure it has not been disabled via restrictions.  To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions on the iPod and make sure there are no instructions in placing for installing apps.
    Otherwise, do a spotlight search for it.  While on your iPod's home screen, swipe to the right and enter in App Store.

    You must upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later to have access to the Mac App Store. And, this will be necessary if you plan to upgrade to Lion.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard for $29.00 at any Apple retailer or from the online Apple Store.

  • I restored my macbook to factory settings and now i have no app store, how can i get the app store back on my macbook?

    You need to update or upgrade it to at least 10.6.6. If it's running 10.5.8 or earlier, this requires installing a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.
