Install app from different account?

I have two Apple ID's, one for work, one for home. I accidentally installed XCode from the home ID instead of my work ID. I'd like to delete it and install it from the work ID, since that's the one I'm logged into most of the time, and since it pertains to work, not home.
So, I deleted the XCode app (4.4.x), logged out of the home ID, logged into the work ID. However, XCode still says "Update" on the Mac App Store page instead of "Install".
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!

The MAS can see versions of the apps on mounted partitions and drives. Do you have a backup, perhaps Time Machine, which has the app? If so, unmount the partition or drive with the old app and try again.

  • How to update apps from different account

    Ok, so I haven't updated my apps in a while and was doing so a moment ago.  Everything updates fine but for some reason the iBooks app was originally downloaded from my friends account, which I obviously don't have the password to.  It's a free app and I've previously downloaded it onto my iPhone as well.  Is there anyway I can update it without reinstalling because I'll lose all my textbooks for school.
    Thank you

    No. You need his or her ID and password in order to update the app. You can either continue to use the app as is, or download it again using your ID.
    If the books were purchased using your ID, I don't see why you would lose those purchases. They will still be tied to your ID and that has nothing to do both the app itself. You should absolutely transfer the books into iTunes on your computer before you try reinstalling the app on you iPad. This explains how to transfer purchases.

    You should be able to sync the books back to your iPad if a thing goes wrong. However if you are using the books on the iPhone and you downloaded iBooks using your own ID on the phone, that proves to me that this should not be a problem. At least, that's the way that I see this situation. Hopefully someone else will come along and either reaffirm what I am saying, or slap me down if I am incorrect. Heaven knows it wouldn't be te first time that has happened.

  • Installing apps from non-admin account

    I read an earlier post that installing apps from a non-admin account is a bad idea because SL applies the wrong permissions. I normally install from a non-admin account.... I don't see that the permissions on stuff I've installed are any different from apps that came with SL. Most everything is drwxr-xr-x. Was this fixed, or am I missing the problem.

    I didn't say anything about a user having write access permission, I was talking about read
    permissions. All apps installed in the /Applications directory should have group permissions
    set to admin or wheel (depending on the type of app), so the system can read them without
    problems. That's the Unix way.
    I completely disagee. The system already has read permission to all applications in the /Applications folder. It doesn't matter what the group privilege is set to. The "other" permissions are set to read only. System (root) can read it regardless. If you can show me an Apple tech article that says that apps installed in the /Applications folder should have their group privilege changed to "admin" or "wheel" then I would gladly take that back.
    +"Leopard does not put any ACLs on anything installed in the /Applications folder"+
    That's right, it doesn't normally, but if it finds an app that it does not have permission
    to read, it will assign an ACE(s) to it so that it can access it.
    I just tested that in 10.5.8, and it does not happen as you say. I can't try it in 10.6. I'd appreciate if you could provide a specific example where you can make this happen.
    Besides, all users, by default, have read only access to all applications. Unless a user specifically changes permissions on an app to deny read access to everyone, then this isn't an issue.

    I know what ACLs are and how they work. I have read through those and cannot find in any of those threads anything about what you had been talking about.
    +"That is also false. Root rights are granted by the user entering the admin username+

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
    "Application installers, Applications folder
    A third-party application installer incorrectly sets permissions on the files it installs,
    or even the entire Applications folder. Symptoms of the Application folder's permissions
    being set incorrectly include applications appearing in the dock as question marks, and/or
    not being able to connect to the Internet. It is also possible that software installed while
    logged in as one user will be inaccessible when logged in as another. To avoid this, make sure
    you are logged in with your normal user account when installing software that you wish to use
    with that account."
    That has to do with third party installer apps that developers have not written properly to conform to OS X standards. It isn't an issue with applications that install by drag-and-drop. It sounds to me like you have looked at the permissions that Apple has put on its own apps and jumped to the conclusion that third party apps won't work unless they have the exact same permissions applied to them. That simply isn't true.
    "Software access=user access
    Most applications executed by a user only have access to the files that the user has access to.
    Backup software, for example, may not back up Mac OS X system files that have root ownership."
    Utilities, especially disk utilities, are to be installed in the /Applications/Utilities folder, for reasons
    stated above.
    No. That is completely wrong. Like I said earlier, an application is given root permission by user authentication. It matters not one little bit what the application's enclosing folder is. I personally have no third party apps in /Applications/Utilities; just what Apple puts there as part of a standard OS X installation.

  • Can I use Apple Configurator 1.6 to install Apps from multiple iTunes accounts on 30 iPads

    Can I use Apple Configurator 1.6 to install Apps from multiple iTunes accounts on 30 iPads in South Korea?

    Thank you again.  I am actually just using a single computer at thsi time but will be setting up a Mac Mini in a day or so.
    I actually believe I authorized my Mac Book for both my wife and my iTunes account.  Yesterday when I hooked her iPhone up it told me that my computer was not authorized to download an app, i had to authorize this macbook. 
    So if the Apps from both iTunes account  is on my Mac Book and I hook up my iPhone it will allow my to transfer the apps from my computer to my iphone?  So lets say I am logged into iTunes account #1 and I try to use an app from iTunes account #2 will I have to do anything special?
    Again thanks

  • Is there a way to share Apps from different iCloud accounts?

    Hi
    iTunes App and Music sharing has been great.
    Everyone in my house has thier own Mobileme account and iTunes account, with their own prefered music and Apps.
    However, it has been possible to copy Apps from one account to another and as long as the user puts the correct username/password from the originating account when requested everyhting works great.
    Can anyone tell me if this also works under iCloud?
    Cheers.
    Robin

    You will need to copy each work iCloud calendar onto 'On My Mac' and then move it to your personal iCloud account if you want to use one, and the same for contacts.
    Calendars: this page shows you how to move calendars in each direction.
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudmovecalendars.html
    You would start with the second set of instructions: obviously you don't want to delete the iCloud version.
    Contacts: the principle is the same - please see this post by 'Winston Churchill':
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17264939#17264939
    this tells you how to move 'On My Mac' contacts to iCloud but obviously to begin with you want to reverse the process.

  • How can I delete an app from my account definetly?

    How can I delete an app from my account, not just from the iPad,  i want to delete some from "purchased apps", hopee you can help me

    Rudegar is correct - you cannot remove the app permanently from your account. There has been much discussion about this on the ASC site and many users have concerns for many different reasons. As suggested send feedback to Apple.
    But remember this - your account is a part of Apple's official and legal sales records. In the real world - you just cannot delete a record of sale - for accounting reasons and for legal reasons.

  • When trying to install apps from app store it does not prompt an apple id and after 15 minutes says "cannot connect to itunes store"

    When trying to install apps from app store it does not prompt an apple id and after 15 minutes says "cannot connect to itunes store".

    Your Apple ID may be greyed out because of restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Changes>Accounts. If you set that restriction, your ID will be greyed out. Nobody can make changes to the account without entering the passcode to change disable the restriction.
    Maybe something in here will help, even though this is not exactly what you are experiencing.

  • HT204053 How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    Apple will not permit transfer of applications from one account to another. Suppose your mom has presented an iPad to you and before presenting she has downloaded some Apps with her account. If you want to update those Apps, you must know her pass word or send the iPad to her and request her to update and give back. If you feel it is time consuming and difficult, the best way is purchase new iPad and down load  the latest version of App. Whenever you come across you go on purchasing new iPad. This will help you to have latest version of iPad with you.
