IBook Store error message "you cannot update this item"

When my book was finally in the iBookstore, I purchased it, to see how the process works and if everything is ok for a potential customer. Turned out that I mad some minor mistakes, which I fixed (hopefully) and published an new Version (successfully, I guess). Now I need to update the purchased book to cheeck if everything is ok.
There IS an Update in the iBookstore, but trying to run the update ends up in an error message "you cannot update this item".
My fault? Not my fault? What to do?
Has anyone an idea?

It took quite a while to find this:

  • Error message " You cannot Update an Expired Instance. Instance needs to be

    Hi,
    I am trying to update Insatll base records in csi_item_instance table( like updating system_id value) by calling API csi_item_instance_pub.update_item_instance. I am getting error message " You cannot Update an Expired Instance. Instance needs to be un-expired before any updates". But actually instance is not expired and active_end_date field is null and instance_status_id=3(Latest).I am getting this error message for only some records.but for these records also x_return_status = S.
    Please suggest what could be the reason.
    Thanks in advance.

    I cannot utilize my Adobe documents - I get this error message - “You cannot use this product at this time.  You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help.”

    Thank you!  My solution was different.  I had turned off services in MSCONFIG and did not turn them back on.  After I turned services back on, Acrobat started  working again without the nag error and impedance to use the program.  I appreciate your input!  Adobe customer service/tech support was dismally disappointing.

  • HT4710 What can I do to update iphoto app I keep getting this message: "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software?

    What can I do to update iphoto app I keep getting this message:
    'You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software?.

    Going from iPhoto v 8.x.x to V 9.x.x is called an upgrade and requires the purchase of iPhoto 9. 
    To go from v 8.1 to v 8.1.2 is an update and is free.

  • HT2404 When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying: You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." But I do own the apps. And I haven't changed my ID

    When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software".
    But I HAVE owned the software, for ages. (And, in any case, the apps in question are all free.)
    And I don't have multiple Apple IDs.
    What can I do?
    Any advice much appreciated

    This can occur if you bought the machine used and iLife was reinstalled with another AppleID.
    This also can occur if the "free apps" you downloaded have paid upgraded versions and/or are now payware and you can't get updates.
    All software from MAS is copy protected, it might be free as in "no charge" but it's not free in the sense you can share it with others.

    Use Tony's suggestion. I am running it right now and it is awesome. I love Mozilla but they basically screwed all of those older Macs over. Come on Mozilla. These Macs still work, and there are plenty of people with them out there.

  • I am trying to install Firefox 4 on my Mac OS 10.5.8 and I get the error message "You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture" Help!

    I am trying to install Firefox 4 on my Mac OS 10.5.8 and I get the error message "You cannot open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture" Help!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

    It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    (You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
    (2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
    While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • GETTING ERROR MESSAGE"You cannot login because the phone is JAL-enabled' while logging into CAD

    Hello All,
    One of my customer is facing problem while loging into CAD. They were getting an error message"
    You cannot login because the phone is JAL-enabled. 
            JAL-enabled phones are not compatible with CAD".
    I gone through some cisco document saying that Join across line/Direct transfer across policy option status should be set to OFF. But i dont find option in 9971 series phone.
    Any Reply for this query. Highly Appreciated.

    That's because the JAL function is inherent to the 8961/9951/9971 phone and cannot be disabled. You'll need to upgrade to a release that supports this phone model or use a different phone.

  • HT204074 "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software."

    Why can't I update my apps?  This message appears "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." I did not encounter this before even after changing my iphone.

    I've also had this problem for the last month for my iPhone, thinking that it was because I switched country region in order to use these Canadian iTunes gift cards I got (still the most likely reason). But today I decided to just give it another try for the heck of it and they all started updating! May be because Apple fixed this problem, or may be because I re-formatted my computer and accidentally reverted all my data on my computer via Time Machine to several months ago before this problem started happening. I do have two different apple ID's (one is @me.com and another @gmail.com), so it could be an ID-related problem, although re-checking all my accounts on the iPhone everything is still signed-in the same way with when I was having the problem... so it makes me think Apple fixed it? Maybe give it another try... good luck.

    How do I fix the problem?

  • You cannot update this software as you have not owned a major version of this software? This is what I get when I try to update my apps on itunes.

    You cannot update this software as you have not owned a major version of this software? This is what I get when I try to update my apps on itunes. What does this mean..I have been having trouble..and reached out but they seem to not understand the problem.. No one has been able to help..It is like I don't have my past history with them anymore? I don't have my past purchases either.

    Same here. Just becoming a nightmare. Updated iTunes and now can't update apps it itself is showing as available updates. Count me in on the latest "You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." bug.
    Next I have to post about a new problem in iPhoto on a new thread.... it lost the "link" between some but not all photos I have in the library and what it itself posted to FaceBook a few hours ago...
    Incredibly frustrating.
