Mac AppStore trying to update an app i never downloaded with someone else's ID

My mac app store wants to update an app i never downloaded, MacTracker, and when i click update, it has someone elses ID in the login box.
I don't download cracked apps/software.
I have never heard of this app let alone downloaded it.
Tried resetting ID/password, logged in and out of all Apple services iCloud/iTunes/MAS
Reset MAS, reinstalled, deleted preferences and still it wants to update this app.
Anyone shed a light on this?

Quit the App Store.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash, restart your Mac.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For LIon: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

    You are most welcome. It would be best to delete those apps and re-purchase them (or re-download them if they were free) under you own Apple ID. That way you will be able to continue to update them, and will also be able to access them under your Purchase history if you need to download them again, or download them to another device.

    I have the same thing happening on my iPod Touch 5th gen. Been happening for at least a month. I have updated to the most recent version of iOS which hasn't solved the issue. Must be a bug that they didn't get around to resolving yet, a year later. Really annoying to have it pop up when you are in the middle of a game though.

  • HT5622 I am trying to update the apps on my MacBook with my Apple ID, the one I created long ago when I got my first iPhone. Although when I first got my new MacBook I created a new apple ID with a email address I hardly ever use, and a password I can't r

    Yes, well I ignoratly created a second Apple ID when first setting up my MacBook, and when I go to the "My Purchases" in my Mac App Store, and it shows the apps I've uninstalled, and the apps that are available to update. When I tap on the update icon/text I get a drop down notice, telling me that I have other apps that can be updated using the Apple ID I used to purchase the *apps* in Mac App Store. As far as I am aware  I have only used ONE  Apple ID to purchase Mac Apps, iPhone Apps, and iTunes. I have tried MANY, MANY times to find my second Apple ID. I've gone through and used every email address I making sure non of them were my second Apple Id's . SO is there anyway that I can update my apps using my main apple ID?
    Best Regards,
    Anna Grace Y.

    What are the names of the apps?
    So you are saying that you only ever used the old Apple ID to buy content on the iPhone and the Mac? You never used the new Apple ID to buy content for the Mac?

  • How to update an app that was downloaded with another ID ?

    I have an update abailabe and whe Im about to update, it shows that the app was downloaded with another apple id, so I will never be able to update it? can I do something to update it using my apple id?

    If you see someone else's Apple ID, then no, you can't update someone else's app.

  • HT2404 When I go to update my games it comes up with someone else's apple I'd and I can't use mine, it only happens when I go to update how do I take the other apple I'd off so I can use mine?

    Can someone please help me change the apple I'd when I update?

    You posted in the OS 10.3 (pre year 2000) forum instead of the iPad forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • My wife and I have separate AppleID accounts and always have. For some reason after she bought the iPhone 5c, whenever she tries to update her apps, it comes up for my AppleID and asks for my password. Please help on how to fix this!

    My wife and I have separate AppleID accounts. Ever since she updated to the iPhone 5c, for some reason when she tries to update her apps, it comes up with my AppleID and asks for my password.  I cannot figure out why this happening and how to fix this.  Please help!

    I have had this issue lately.
    I can only put it down to using the one computer to update all our IPads for me and my wife.
    Some of our apps, although downloaded from both our seperate accounts on our IPads, are the same.
    However after plugging her IPad into the computer when my AppleID is on ITunes, I think something strange has happened and when she then tries to update Apps on her IPad and I try on mine it now asks for the others Apple ID password.
    The only way I have found to counteract this is to update an app one at a time, if that app asks for your wifes password then delete it and then reinstall it.
    That has solved it for me.
    Hope this helps

  • Trying to update an app from appstore (updates list),but requests a pass for an apple id that is not mine! how can it be?

    Trying to update an app from appstore list,but requests a pass for an apple id that is not mine! how can it be?

    The app must have been downloaded by somebody else that used their Apple ID on your iPad, since purchases are always tied to the ID that was used to make the purchase. Unless your iPad is glued to your side 24 hours a day and nobody has ever used the iPad but you, then anybody that has ever used your iPad could have done it.

  • I am trying to update the apps in my MacBook Air but even though I am signed in with my apple ID an email of a person I don't know appears in the Apple ID tab and I can't change it

    I am trying to update the apps in my computer, but even though I am signed in with my Apple ID in the App Store, the tab where I am supposed to enter my Apple ID to to update it, someone else's email apprear. What do I do?

    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 alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press 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 of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are 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 apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

    Hope you are having a lovely afternoon today! I'm about ready to go bobo....I have an early meeting, and I don't want to oversleep! The nice part is that I work remotely, so I only have to wake up 15 minutes or so before the meeting.... I don't even use an alarm clock anymore (really, my iPhone alarm, which is much more pleasant), unless I have to get up at 6:30 or something....

  • Error 20 when trying to update my apps from Macbookpro 15' 2012

    When trying to update my apps, with appstore, I get error 20... I'm stuck on that message from 1 week... :-(
    any advices ?

    In the lower right corner of the App Store window is a round button with the image of a flag. Clicking that button takes you to a page where you can choose your country by flag. You may have to scroll to the bottom of the window to see the button. The country must match your billing address on record.

  • Trying to update an app, I keep getting an error message.

    Trying to update an app in the App Store, I keep getting the following message:  The application could not be downloaded.  "Uberstrike.app" couldn't be moved to "Applications".
    I've tried to update the app three times and keep getting the same message. Other updates don't give me this problem. Any ideas as to how to resolve the problem?

    Hi...
    When you post for help, please tell us which Mac OS X you have installed.
    If you are running v10.6.8 Snow Leopard try the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    If you are running v10.7 Lion, try the OS X Lion Update 10.7.2 Client Combo
    Either one of those combos reinstalls the App Store for you which may help.

  • I keep getting an "Update Failed" message when trying to update my apps using Creative Cloud.

    I keep getting an "Update Failed" message when trying to update my apps using Creative Cloud.

    [ Mac 10.9.3 / Indesign CC update fail / Premiere update fail / Adobe Media Encoder 7.2.2 update fail ]
    Adobe Media Encoder was the problem for me. There's no separate uninstaller for AME. My ID CC and Premiere couldn't be updated (for the AME7.2.2 update as the only change). MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework seemed to be the factor.
    I uninstalled Premiere (only), after having manually removed MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework from inside AME. After boot I installed it again and voilà, both (ID & Premiere) updates went trough fine. The MCMHMPEGVideoCodec.framework was on place inside AME too.
