HT1338 How do I know it is updating? I don't see the icon and want to get rid of this tool bar someone put on my desktop

How Do I know it is updating? I clicked the "19.99" and I was signed in, but it never made me agree to anything, it just says updating.  I don't see any progress bar or anything.

Look on the Launchpad icon in your Dock. Or switch over to the Purchases side in App Store. If it's downloading it will take a while since Mountain Lion is over 4 GBs.

  • I have an app in my app store that is requiring an update but I never purchased the app and when I click update, another apple ID pops up that is not mine.  Now i keep getting reminders to update the app and I cant get rid of it from the app store.  Help.

    You 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 notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination 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 initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've 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.
    At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Test.

  • How do I know if my update didn't work because the record doesn't exist

    I am updating a row in a table and I want to know if the update didn't work because the record doesn't exist. Is there any way of knowing this? I want to avoid doing a select first if at all possible. I am using sqlj with Oracle 9i on Linux and JDK 1.3.1.

    I got it. So if anybody else needs to know this here it is.
    import sqlj.runtime.ExecutionContext;
    ExecutionContext ec = new ExecutionContext();
    #sql [ec] {update statement};
    if (ec.getUpdateCount() == 0){
    throw new SQLException("No rows for update");

  • I have a resident program auto-updater that I do not trust and want to get rid of

    Since a while I see a black icon in my ribbon with exec in top left corner. It automatically starts and stays resident every time I boot and in Force Stop I see the program is called auto-updater. But I cannot find any trace of it anywhere on my Mac. As my Mac is behaving strangely lately, I suspect this ghost program to be malware and part of my Mac problems. Can anyone help with tracing this program's roots and if malware, how should I get rid of it? Thanks!

  • How can I unlock my daughters ipod.  She had forgotten the code and tried to get in so many times it says ipod disabled.  When I plug it in the computer it does not recognize it.  help please.

    How do you unlock a disabled ipod touch?  My daughter has locked herself out and my computer doen't recognize it when we plug it in.

    When you say it doesent recognize it do you mean it doesent apear what so ever in iTunes?, or do you get a recovery screen?
    If it doesent apear what so ever try having the iPod plugged in and while it is still plugged in hold the power and home button at the same time for 10secounds and see if the device apears when it restarts.
    If the device still doesent apear try another iPod connector.
    Concerning the forgotten password, you will have to put your iPod in recovery mode. A video on how to do this can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm2D7-PCTaw
    After that click the restore button in iTunes and wait for the process to complete.
    Once it has finished restore the iPod from a backup which can be found by right-clicking the iPod name in the left of the iTunes window.
    If you have any other questions please ask

  • How do get rid of this grey bar?

    This grey bar has appeared beneath my photos. Any advice on how to remove it would be appreciated. Thanks, jp.

    There are seven different Metadata Overlays.  You should customize each one for your needs.  I generally keep Keywords foremost on one, and time of capture formost on the alternate, and Badges on all of them.  I set "List -- Expanded" to show everything.

  • There are so many add-ons now that do the same thing, how can I tell the full features of an add-on compared to the others. I know I have way to many of the same and need to get rid of the unwanted ones?

    can we get a side by side comparison of the add-ons. How can I tell Ive got 2 or even 3 add-ons that do the same thing? and how can I pick the best one for my needs so I can uninstall all the others?

    I mutled through best I could but I know I still have duplicate apps, different names, but same functions. One last thing is why do I keep getting 2-3 times a day that firefox needs a major update? I let it go through its motions but then that same msg pops up again a few hours later

  • I seem to have downloaded firefox as per your instructions but I don't see the icon that I'm informed should appear so I don't know how to proceed

    have I downloaded firefox or haven't I? Iit seems to be finished, and I can find the download in my downloads file.
    But the icon the website from which I downloaded told me would appear (the thing I should drop into my applications folder and then put on my toolbar) hasn't.
    So where do I go from here?

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
