How do I get updates that are not mine not to show up in mac app store?

I have updates in my updates in the mac app store that will not go away and they are not mine. They are someone else's that have someone else's apple ID. It is just a little strange that just all the sudden they pop up about two days ago. It is sort of annoying that these updates will not go away. Any help is well appreciated. Thanks!

Hi...
Unfortunately, it sounds like you are subject to pirated software.

How do I get Pro Video Formats 2.0.1 to stop appearing in Mac App Store after I've installed it?

Pro Video Formats 2.0.1 appeared in my App Store a few weeks back (I'm running an 2011 MBP with 10.10.4 and have been using the betas). I installed it, and it continues to appear as an update every day. No matter how many times I install it, it continually comes back. I even wiped out all of my codecs in /Library/Quicktime, reinstalled the PVF. I downloaded the standalone installer, ran that. No change. I've seen a few mentions of this online, but hoping for a fix!

How do I get ringtones that are not listed in the phone

how do I get ringtones that are not on the phone's list?

Thanks so much for providing that information sidmorgy. There are options available to do a media retrieval that may provide help with retrieving available ring tones that were previously purchased. You can access the steps here http://vz.to/102YOjg to see if that option will work for you. Please keep us posted on the outcome.

I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?

Hello,
I have lost my iPhone 5. How can I get photos that are backed up on iCloud?
Thanks!

I wish, essentially you have an image file of your personal information integrated with parts of IOS in the cloud server. If you had it on your computer - you could use one of the software extractors (bunch with google search, paid and free). From icloud server it can be restored to other iphone, ipod touch, ipad - then backed up or imported to computer for you. Then that other device can return to your friend or family member. That is the only way I can think of.

How do i get my serial number for lightroom when it was purchased from the app store?

how do i get my serial number for lightroom when it was purchased from the app store now that the app store has discontinued selling the product?
Thanks
-Ethan

Purchases from the App Store do not include serial numbers. The App Store itself provides the licensing for the product. You will have to contact Apple to have them help you reinstall Lightroom through the App store (just because it is no longer for sale does not mean that you will not be able to download your past purchases).

How can I get recordings that are less than 96 kbps onto my iPhone if I am using iTunes Match?

I am using iTunes Match but it won't upload any files that are recorded at less than 96 kbps. I have recordings from several classes that I am taking online that I need to listen to on my iPad and iPhone. How can I get them on my devices? Do I just have to turn Match off and do it manually like before? Or is there a way to change the recording level in GarageBand?

I found the answer. Just double click on the recording in iTunes and select Create AAC Version. Then select Update iTunes Match under the Store tab. The recordings will now show up and play on your other devices.

I get update notifications on my iPad but cannot see them in the App Store...please help

When I click on the App Store...there are no updates available. When I get out of the App Store. The notifications are still there.

There are a number of other threads from people reporting the same problem - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end whih they need to fix.
Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list to find those with updates and individually update them.

How do I get Mavericks? I can't seem to find it in the app store

The question says it all. Do I buy a DVD? My computer will take yosemite, but I don't feel like upgrading all my ilife, yet.

If you never downloaded Mavericks from the App Store, it is no longer available. Apple removed it when Yosemite was released. Mavericks isn't available on a DVD.

How get files that are in Windows directory from a job is running in AS400

Hi Experts,
Please help me with this, I have a background job that call FTP_CONNECT for connect to a FTP directory, when i run manually the program this works very good; but when is runing like job it isn't works; SAP is in AS400 and the FTP directory is in Windows, also i tried use the CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES for access to the directory but it isn't works like job.
The big question is How i can get files that are in the Windows directory from a job that is running in AS400.
Is anyone can help me? Thanks for your kindly support in advance.
Best Regards,
Darwin Panchi

It's impossible to access Windows directories running through job. To do this, the files must be transfered to Unix.
Not true. You can mount a Windows server folder location in the SAP AS400 directory landscape and access it from SAP programs in the foreground or the background. You can also hit a Windows client or server location with FTP as well.
For Darwin, if the Windows location belongs to your domain, have your Basis team map it to your SAP app server folder landscape so you can access it directly or as Este suggested, try the background destination SAPFTPA for the FTP approach.

What has caused an app I purchased (Family Tree Maker for Mac) and currently have installed, to disappear from the Mac Store. Does this mean it is no longer sold? If so, how will I get update notices or re-download if needed?

I purchased and installed Family Tree Maker for Mac from the App Store about 6 months ago. I heard that possibly a new version was coming, though I had not received any update notice. I went to the App Store and it no longer shows the app, either as available for purchase or as an app I have previously purchased. So I can't get any information on the app, support, etc.. How can an app I have purchased disappear from the purchased list??? How can I get update information or support links? (contacted FTM website and phone support and they said if I bought my program from App store, I have to get update information there).....the Update Info button in my program is actually greyed out!! So the program I bought doesn't even have the normal update link!! I thought one of the advantages of App Store purchase was being able to redownload the program in the unlikely event it was lost....ie: no need to worry about having the install CD. So now I only have my installed, operating copy and no way to reinstall if it crashes due to corrupt data, etc.!! Not a happy result from an App Store purchase! And I must say the circular references in the support link are frustarting...apparently there is NO live support for the App Store itself!

Thanks for THAT tip: iTunes acct. history DOES show my (few) Mac app purchases, buried in with my MANY iPhone and iPad apps! So I CAN prove I bought it (7 months ago, not 6), but you wouldn't know it from the App Store app on my Mac! But that does leave a few other ?'s hanging: like how could I download it again, or check for updates (as I said, the version installed has the "update" button greyed out! Ancestry.com (who sells it online and support it for other buyers said update info for App Store purchasers comes through the App Store.
I may just be out of luck with this because after 7 months of ownership, they (Ancestry) just replaced FTM with a new version (Family Tree Maker for Mac2) that is NOT an upgrade (though prior owners get $4.00 off on a $52.00 purchase!!). I'll probably just plump for that....direct from Ancestry.com...and give up on the Mac App Store, because the new version reportedly has major enhancements in sync-ing your family history record between your computer and the cloud program available online. Genealogy software, like everything else is migrating to the cloud, but one really does need a resident program on their device because you're often collecting data "in the field" in libraries, historical archives, cemeteries, etc. where you really can't get online in many cases. Fortunately, more and more of the source data is coming online, so more and more can be done from home!

Mac App Store problem - I have an update for an app that do not exist in my Mac

Hi, I have an update for an app that I never didn't bought before in my Mac App Store.
Thats happen before more than a year, I tried everything including updating the app (got an error) and format the Mac but the update for this app didn't remove.
the problem is maybe in my Apple account so I need your help, is there any way to remove this update?

You may have 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 could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.
