Logged in with unknown account apple app store?
I got the alert on my mac that there were updates for my mac in the app store, so I opened the app store and there I got the notice "There are updates for other accounts, Log in with <email> to perform the updates from this account" (translated from Dutch), but the e-mail address in this alert is not my e-mail address nor is it the e-mail address from anybody I know!
I know for a fact that nobody has been on my computer, not by my knowledge at least (and I live alone). How is this possible? Is it possible that this is an error coming from Apple? I'm kind of affraid for the security of my Apple Account and my MacBook.
Thanks.

I am using account named X.
When I enter the App Store to run update for my program, it pop up another account named: [email protected], which would not be X, and that account is definitely not my account. I have reset the Iphone and the Apple ID Login at settings of App store but it still didnt work.In iTunes check who purchased each app. You do this by selecting the app and choosing Get Info from the File menu. Who purchased the app will be in the Summary tab. If any apps are purchased using another account then whenever you try to update that app it will want to use that account to download the new version. You will then need to delete this app and purchase it again using your own account.

I used my only Apple ID to purchase my iMac (Intel-based one). I've never been able to update core apps that came with it. I can update third party apps I've bought (like Coda), but when I try to update Garage Band, iPhoto, iMovie and so on, a popup message appears saying "You have updates available for other accounts" and "Log in with the account you used to purchase this app in order to update it", or similar (see screenshot above).
The OS seems to get its updates fine - it's just the core apps from the App Store.
I've only ever had one Apple ID, so I have no idea what to do. I went to ask the Genius bar at my local Apple store, and they couldn't help, and insisted that I must have purchased the iMac using a different account, but I definitely didn't. There are a few posts on non-Apple forums of this happening to other people, so it must be a rare bug.
I'm a little concerned it may affect my ability to update from Lion to Mountian Lion. Can anyone help?
DanHave you done a Disk Repair and a Disk Permissions Repair?
If that doesn't resolve the problem I would suggest calling customer support about this issue as it is most likely on their (Apple's) end that the problem exists. -
Just bought a new iPhone and am having trouble with iTunes and App Store. I can log in to Cloud, iTunes, and app store but once I try to download, it says "Youe apple id has been disabled". I've reset my password three times and have no issue on my Pad.

I had upgraded to current OS X yosemite, I performed clean install and I also made a new icloud account and apple ID.
the previous apple ID have few purchased paid app like- "GarageBand"
now in my new apple ID I have to purchase it
I was wondering if I install this app by logging in with my old apple id and installing
and then log in with my new apple id.Yes, you can sign out of the App Store, then Sign In using another Apple ID and download the apps associated with that ID, but when you get finished switching back and forth you will have a rather confused setup...updating is going to get cumbersome when you try and keep straight what software is associated with what ID. With your setup, it would just be simpler to purchase the app again so everything on your Mac matches and you don't have to try and remember what goes where.

Apple App Store is used for Account. How to Avoid It? How to Delete All Sharing Preferences?
Every time I go to the Apple App Store, I have intrusion, relentless stalking, piggy back computer usage, ID Theft, Account takeovers, and theft problems on everything including all brands of email accounts. I keep changing the ID and the passwords intermittently, but attacks continue. Erasing or replacing the HD does not remedy the situation either.
As of now, the computer has practically empty; 979.87 GB free out of 1TB. It may have a couple of notes, pdf's, and some bookmarks. It was recently erased and is running on the OS X 10.7.5 to avoid Apple App Store updates to Mavericks, Pages, Keynote, etc. The security was set on everything I could think of to use the internet safely.
Besides surfing the web, I only did a few things. Because Chrome is better recommended, I used Safari to download Firefox, then used Firefox to download Chrome. Safari won't download it directly. I checked Yahoo mail. I used the Apple ID to post a question in the Apple Communities (within 24-48 hours of today). I changed the password to Apple ID in case there was an issue later. (I have to change the password almost 100% of the time because it gets stolen often) I usually erase Firefox because I don't use it. This time I left it there while I worked on other things & erased it later.
After reading some online material, the system started to run slow as though there was too much data or space being taken up. Then I felt that someone or someone was using it at the same time. I disconnected the Ethernet and left an idle screen (it will sleep after a few minutes) because no sharing options remained. All fields are depopulated. All internet connection options were turned off and removed. Only the Ethernet remains. Unfortunately, that Bluetooth button can still be turned "on" and/or "discoverable". I don't know it this will still work with Bluetooth turned off and removed in Sharing. Please clarify that for me.
When I returned, the screen saver was changed. I expected to use a password to get back onto the computer, but no password was needed. I checked the settings and found the password for logging onto an idle & sleeping screen was removed. No one physically changed things around. This was done remotely or through malware.
I checked various system preferences, and found the locks to Sharing was open with some of the components set up for usage (public files, bluetooth, remote apple events, etc.). I tried to change some options, but some items did not move. I tried to lock it but it would not lock. I tried other sys pref screens and found that some of them had been dismantled too.
I tried to open the lock for other changes, but the password to System Preferences was changed.
Is it normal to get a password popup window to LOCK users & groups when it is OPEN? I don't believe you need a password to lock it. Eventually, open locks closed with no chance to immediately reopen it to adjust the preferences (all passwords were changed).
The terminal looks like it was used. No history was found. Reseting Password rejected new passwords. iTunes sharing could not be changed and parental control refused to lock. After waiting an hour or two, was able to lock it. I wonder what it was being used for.
Now that the internet and the network are disconnected (before sending this message), everything is still extremely slow. A single window takes a long time to open. I have no idea what is making it drag and I don't know where to look.
If history is repeating itself, then the computer is set for piracy just like before. Every place I go is watched, all passwords are captured, all files are checked, all email accounts can be stolen, chat and messages are used (email & computer), iTunes will be logged into, other types of accounts are stolen/taken over, and everything I type is read. Any changes will be sabotaged.
I am confident that someone in the Apple Community will have the answers to getting rid of this problem for good. If you don't have all the answers, then perhaps you have good resources and referrals (not speculations or guesses).
I read about apps, software, or devices that either detect or deter this type of problem. What are they and how do they work?
Q- Also, exactly what are the steps to transfer the OS X 10.7.5, Mavericks, and the future Yosemite to a flash drive or disk to avoid future contact with the Apple App Store or using the Apple ID? (external HD's have been sabotaged in the past-via remote or erasing program of some sort)
Q- How to permanently get rid of Messages & Chats
Q- How to permanently remove Dropbox & Public file sharing?
Q- How to permanently remove all sharing options?
Q- Are there other ways to share (codes, commands, etc.) that need be to blocked/fixed/patched? If so, then what are they?
Q- Are computers stalked by IP address? by Network? by computer numbers or codes? or just by traps or their accounts?
Q- Is there a handy, "go to" type of checklist of where to look or what to do when there is a a suspicion of implants in the computer?See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I have an apple id but i have not been able to use the same id with i tune and app store..what to do
i have an apple id but i have not been able to use the same id with i tune and app store..what to do???every time i m trying to login it is telling that this id has not been used with i tune and App Store ....reviewing of my id is one of the option provided to me after this...
Have you logged in and reviewed your account and entered payment details ? Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Suppor…
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
You could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you review your account without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054
If not then you will either have to enter card details (you should be able to remove them after entering them), or create a new account (using the instructions on the above link). -

HT204034 How to get an Apple App store account without a credit card?
Does anyone know how to get an Apple App store account without a credit card?
When I sign in with my Apple ID it says I did not have an account with the App store, but in order to create one it requires a credit card.
There is NO None option as some articles show when selecting a credit card.Hello SandraLAVixen,
I understand you would like information on how to use an Apple ID without a credit card. The following article may help:
Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Support
If you already have an Apple ID
If you've already created your Apple ID, you'll need to add a payment method when you first use it to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. But you can optionally remove the payment method after you sign in to the store. You won't be asked for a payment method again until you make your first purchase.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Hi Ishrak,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are trying to log into with your Apple ID, or what exactly you are seeing (alert message, directions, etc) when you try to do so. If you continue to have issues with your Apple ID, you may find one or more of the articles linked from the following page helpful:

I changed my Apple ID and had problems with my Account.Once iTunes Store had sorted those out I decided to back up on my 3 devices.Now my Notes and Reminders are all old ones and the new ones I created in the last few days have disappeared.
Ok. Found something that said to shut down and hold the option, command, p, and r keys on restart. Held them down for a few restarts and everything automatically signed in and works. Woohoo!!!

Need to log in with a new Apple id
NNeed to log in with a new Apple id
You can log out of an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and you can then log in with a new account - any content that was downloaded by the currently logged in account will remain tied to it, so only that account can potentially redownload those items and download updates to its apps.
Similarly if you want to use a new account for the cloud then Settings > iCloud > Sign Out and then log in with the new account -
Apple app store, download fails, error 1004 please try later
Can't down load Purchased Software from Apple App Store on Mac BookPro running Mavericks.
Asked to sign in with Apple ID, do so successfully, but when download starts, bet message: Error 1006 please try later.
I have tried a couple solutions to clear cache, but did not have them.Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
Publish time in Apple App store
Wondering if anyone has a general time frame for a folio's appearing in the Apple App store. My understanding is that Apple only does approval on the app and the initial publication and after that you can publish whenever you choose.
We are publishing our 3rd issue and pushed it this morning but 2 hours later and it has not shown up yet. On our second issue it was instantly in the store. With our first issue, it took the usual app approval time of 2 weeks because it was the first time.
We did publish a new updated app, but that was approved a couple weeks ago and we released it seperatley last Friday. Make me think the delay is from the Adobe side.Public & Free and yes the correct app account, the same one that the 2 previous issues were created and published with.
Is it possibly something with the app? We updated the app to R23 and it was approved already and published last Friday.
