Managed accounts and the AppStore bought apps

Hi there!
I have  a problem with the Mac App Store, where managed accounts in our 10.7 Open Directory Server cannot open applications bought by an admin iTunes account in client machines because the client system keeps asking for the password of the iTunes account.
Is there a way to make a client machine (10.7 and 10.8) understand that no matter the user account, it should operate with a given iTunes account (and password)?
Thanks a lot!

Nobody had this problem??

    I just bought a Mac Book Pro and the Appstore show one upgrade of iPhoto (9.2.1). I started a section with my Apple ID (the account that I have I use to iTunes) but when I try to update it says that there are upgrades available for other accounts and that I have to upgrade using the account that I used to buy iPhoto. What do I have to do to upgrade iPhoto?

    On your iPad tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should give you a payments link on your account's page. Or on your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should also be a payment link.
    Changing payment info : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID)
    If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

  • Really confused here. I have somehow created both a managed account and an administrator account. The admin acct is now highlighted in system preferences. We are now blocked from using our computer because parental controls keeps popping up.

    In attempting to add a music lesson program for my daughters band lessons we have messed up our computer. I now have both a managed account and an administrator account (both in my name).  It is using the managed account now and not letting use the Internet because parental controls keep popping up. I would like to delete the managed account and get back to the admin account but I have no idea what my login is for the admin account. We have never had to use it before this problem started and what we thought it was when we set it up does not work. Any ideas?

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know that account password, the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.

  • My old iphone was replaced today, due to faults. Now it will not allow me to use my credit card account for the appstore and itunes?

    My old iphone was replaced today, due to faults. Now it will not allow me to use my credit card account for the appstore and itunes?
    Please don't tell me to retry, or re check my information because it is all correct, it basically says u cannot use thi account due to it being connected to another device... which is my old fault iphone, at the apple store.

    I have never before heard of cards being locked to a single device... but your case has shown me that it happens.
    If I am getting it right you try to log in to your account and it asks for billing information, and when you enter your card details it tells you that the card cannot be used. If that is the case then I'm sorry to say that my only suggestion would be to contact iTunes support directly; the contact form can be found in here: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us

    Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

  • Taking over an existing account and the apps

    Good morning,
    My husband is selling his iPad as he is not satisfied with this device.
    With doing this he does not need his apple I'd and account anymore.
    He has go some expensive office apps on his account and I would like to take them over onto my account for my Pad as he will not need his account and the apps he paid for anymore.
    How is this possible?
    Can we add the two existing accounts together?
    Thanks for your help.

    I'm not aware of a way to murge itunes store accounts
    BUT you could use your apps and hiss apps on your ipod. Authorize your computer for his itunes store account. You could then plug in his ipad, and transferred purchased items to your computer. next time you sycn your ipad you could sync those apps to your ipad.
    In the future if you needed to update the apps you would need to know the account password.

    How to access and install appstore free apps without providing credit card number because I do not have one?

    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Step 3 is important, no matter whether you do this on a Mac or an iPad / iPhone:
    Important: Before proceeding to the next step, you must download and install a free application. ...
    Important: Before proceeding to the next step, you must download and install the free application by tapping Free followed by tapping Install App. ...
    To summarize, you must first download a free app from the App Store. When you are asked to sign in with your Apple ID, select "Create new account". Accept the terms and conditions checkbox, then click Continue. After you enter all the requested personal data, click Continue.
    When you are asked to select a payment method, select "None". 
    That's all there is to it.

    Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
    Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
    cheers
    Tom

    They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
    Not a great solution.
    Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.
