How to update iWork if it is showing you have to purchase again
OK I was having trouble with with 2011 Mac Mini and iWork I bought on DVD & the preinstalled iWork not updating.
Here's how I got it to update in through the app store.
Open App Store on your Mac if they don't show as an update in the tab and are not in your Purchases tab, go to the Featured tab & click Account under Quick Links, enter your password, & click Reset all warning for buying and downloading at the bottom of this page, & click Done.
Check your updates tab & iWork & iLife updates should now appear, at least this is how I got it to work on my 2011 Mac Mini.
Thank you, it worked perfectly. I had iLife and iWork from DVD on a 2010 Macbook pro

I have an Ipod touch version 4.2.1 and the instructions do not detail how to update to iOS 5. Can you help me with step by step instructions.
iOS 4.2.1 suggests that you may have 2nd generation Touch, which cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1
Check http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for help in identifying your model. A quicker method may be to check the back casing. If your iPod has Model No.A 1288 etched into it, then it's a 2nd gen Touch.
Assuming that you are using the latest version of iTunes (today, that is 10.6.3), to check if your iPod can be updated, connect it to your iTunes and look on the Device/Summary pane. Select Check for Updates. If there is one, you will see a message telling you that and how to install it. However, if you see a message saying that your iPod is up-to-date, then it cannot be updated. -
I just reinstalled and this is the pop up that shows "You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Do you want to quit and use the latest version of iPhoto, or do you want to create a new photo library?" what do i do next? it just keeps popping up and loading but only gives a quit button?
Update it.
How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update

Apps - Download All Free Updates - You have already purchased this item
I have an iPad and iPhone, and over the past few months I've noticed that iTunes keeps getting confused when trying to download app updates.
So right now if I run iTunes, it shows that there are 16 updates in Apps. I click on Apps and then click the "16 Updates Available" link at the bottom right. This opens the "My App Updates" view. I then click "Download All Free Updates" and get a prompt that says:
You have already purchased this item
You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check For Available Downloads from the Store menu.
This is confusing because:
I have no idea which of the 16 app updates it is talking about
I'm not told why it has not been downloaded
Check for available downloads doesn't do anything.
I can get around this problem by manually downloading each update individually, syncing and trying an update again. But after a few weeks I get more updates and the problem starts all over again.
Any ideas why this is happening?
Cheers
BozYou read a very old article that applied only to apps.
Redownloading is quite simple

I keep getting notified I have an update available but when I try to update I get the following msg ,"You have updates available for other accounts To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.". I only have one account with apple and the software was preinstalled when I purchased my macbook in Aug 2012 with that account. Has anyone had this problem or know how to find out what account apple needs?
You log into the App store using the same Apple ID you used to set the computer up, verify that none of your apps are hidden and that they have all be accepted and then download and install the update
for help contact the App store support - link is on the right ot the App store window

My installation of Itunes to syne my iphone with PC was missing AppleApplicationSupport.msi after 2 installs how can I install such a file do you have a path for this
Hi kensb!
I would recommend that you attempt to reinstall all of the programs and components of iTunes on your machine and reinstall everything again. It can be tricky to get everything uninstalled, so we have an article that can help you make sure you uninstall everything:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
Specifically, when it comes to uninstalling, you will want to uninstall applications in this order:
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer.
iTunes
QuickTime
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.
You will then want to follow the links in those articles to download the latest package of iTunes software for your computer and install again from there. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Why doesn't my macbook pro let me update certain applications? It says "You have updates available for other accountsTo update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.
it's also likely that you used two different apple IDs to purchase apps. if that's the case then you simply have to log out of your app store, and log into the other account to update the apps.
from experience it's not possible to syncronise purchased content from two different accounts. but you can always give Apple a call. -
The App Store says I have updates for I-Photo and Garage Band. When I try to update I get the following message: You have updates available for other accounts To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." Both apps came with my computer and as far as I know I only have one Apple account. Any thoughts? Thanks.
KarenThanks for you reply. I'm 99% positive that I'm using the user id and password that I used to set up my computer. That's why I'm stumped. I read the solution someone else suggested (type your user name without @gmail and create a new password. When I tried it, I was asked for my birthday. It didn't recognize it. I know I got my birthday correct. Oh well...

I am trying to download Final Cut Pro X 10.0.9
I am signed in with the account that I purchased Final cut Pro X
I don't have another account I'm not sure what's going onWelcome to Apple Support Communities
Open the Mac App Store and go to Purchases. Do you see Final Cut Pro X listed?
If so, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete Final Cut Pro X. Then, go to the Mac App Store and download Final Cut Pro X for free.
If you don't see it in Purchases, see if it's hidden, and if so, unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 If it doesn't work, contact with the Mac App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact -

If "flashback malware removal tool" was in your software updates...does that mean you have the flashback virus?

No, it just means that you are running Lion and do not have Java installed. The update will simply check for any previous infection and let you know if it finds anything. If it doesn't find anything it will quit without any notices. In either case, it will then delete itself and you can sleep easy until the next one comes along. -
Is the only way to get a software update through the Apple Store where you have to give a credit card? I thought system updates are free. I don't want to leave a credit card number with Apple.
This may also help. Someone in another thread typed the above link only works if you haven't established your account, but when I just checked my account the "None" button was there?:
