Hello, tempraven. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
I would recommend making sure that Mac App Store and Identified Developers is selected.  You can find this under Security & Privacy and System Preferences.  Once this is done, test updating your applications individually. 
Gatekeeper options
Gatekeeper gives you more control over what you install. You can choose the safest option and only allow apps that come from the Mac App Store to open. There is also the option of only allowing apps that come from the Mac App Store and identified developers. Or you can choose to allow any apps to open, just like previous versions of OS X.
Gatekeeper options are found in Apple menu > System Preferences… > Security & Privacy > General tabunder the header "Allow applications downloaded from:"
Note: The default setting for Gatekeeper in OS X Lion v10.7.5 is "Anywhere".
Gatekeeper options are:
Mac App Store – Only apps that came from the Mac App Store can open.
Mac App Store and identified developers (default in OS X Mountain Lion) – Only allow apps that came from the Mac App Store and developers using Gatekeeper can open.
Anywhere – Allow applications to run regardless of their source on the Internet (default in OS X Lion v10.7.5); Gatekeeper is effectively turned off. Note: Developer ID-signed apps that have been inappropriately altered will not open, even with this option selected.

    And is there any way to sync all my purchases and accounts to just have one... It is a bit stupid that you dont even get a list of something of what account you may of used, or some kind of hint, so you could log on to the right account. I am really stuck ...
    Please Advise......

    You can't merge accounts. But you can check your purchase history:

  • How do I make my apple id connected to the app store?

    I got my sister's ipod touch. I have gone to settings and logged off her apple id account, and logged onto mine. Now, when I went to update my apps in the app store, they asked for the password to my sister's apple id. How do I make my apple id connected to the app store?

    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Apple ID blocked on iPhone  app updates, Mastercard no longer recognized

    All the sudden my Mastercard (canada) is no longer recognized. I checked with my bank and everything seems to be fine from their side.
    Every time I type the security code, it gives me the message that " this card cannot be used with the itunes store".
    After several attempts, I gave up and modified my account to payment "None" option.
    They don't want my money: ...fine
    Now what is more annoying is that I can't update my apps anymore on my iPhone. I get the message "Apple ID blocked". However, I am able to visualize my ID on the iPhone. I modified my password. Nothing helped. I tried another ID I have from having lived for many years in Europe. All the time my Canadian ID pops up on the App update function with the message "Apple ID blocked".
    Can anybody help with that? If this continues, I am seriously thinking about legal action as I paid for these apps and now I can't access up-to-date functions for a software which I own. Any ideas if there are some consumer defense organizations out there to help with that.
    I am seriously fed up with all the time lost with this problems (3 days spending my time working on this problem now!!!!)

    So I purchased Navigon app on my iphone 4 with my iTunes account id then got a new iPhone 4s and signed in with the required Apple ID and now Navigon app does not recognize me as its owner.  When I try to restore purchases I make on the app it tells me to buy it first.  The problem seems to be it defaults to my Apple ID when I am asked for a password and does not give me the option of using my iTunes account ID and password which is what I used when I purchased the app.  HELP?

    Is it possible to differentiate between all the devices?Can I fix this problem?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • When using the OS X caching server, after the first update is made, do the rest of the computers have to enter the Apple ID to download the cached update

    Hello,
    I have a question that I had not found an answer to yet. I would like to use the OS X caching server, and I know that it caches a software update as soon as the first computer downloads it. If an application requires authentication using an Apple ID, and the first computer authenticates and downloads that update, do the rest of the computers have to authenticate as well, even though the update is downloaded from the caching server?
    I am looking for a solution in that regard. For the company that I work, I would like a solution for users to be able to download software updates (OS or Application), without having to authenticate with the company Apple ID, for security reasons.
    Would anybody be able to help?

    Yes.  You still need to authenticate on the subsequent machines if you are interactively applying the updates.  Caching server stores the application data, not the App Store authorization information.
    You have some alternatives.
    1:  If you are using a single "corporate" Apple ID to claim your free apps (iMovie, iPhoto, etc), then you can download them on your master machine and then user ARD, JAMF, or other tool to push the full application packages out to all the clients.  They will already be tagged to the Apple ID and since the push is happening in the background, as long as the user is not using the application, they will not know you are updating.  Remember, App Store updates are the entire application, not update packages.  So pushing the entire .app bundle is effective.
    2:  If you are looking to distribute purchased apps, you really should look at the VPP (volume purchase plan) from Apple (http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/) (there is also one for education but you mentioned company).  This allows you as the organization to purchase the correct number of copies and then control the distribution of the apps to your end users.  They can use their own Apple ID to claim the apps but you can reclaim the license should the user leave the organization.

  • Is there any way I could use my own apple ID to buy in-app purchases even if I used my aun'ts apple ID to install the app?

    I have an Apple Account registered in the U.S & no credit card linked (since im under 18). I always use my Aunt's account because I buy in-app purchases and other stuffs in the app store, I also used her account to download the app I play but she changed her password and gifted me a gift card to redeem in my own apple ID...
    But whenever I wanted to buy something from the game it asks for her password and not mine, I changed the logged in apple account in the iTunes & Apple Store hoping not to re-install the app because I achieved so much in the game..
    Is there any way I could use my own apple ID to buy in-app purchases even if I used my aun'ts apple ID to install the app?

    No, all apps are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account will be able to make in-app purchases within them - you would need to delete the game (which would also delete your progress/settings in it) and buy/download it with your account to be able to make in-app purchases with your own account.

    If it's not available in your country and you do not have a copy of it in iTunes backed up on your computer, you don't.

  • My ipod won't open the apps when i click on them?

    My ipod won't open the apps when i click on them, i've restarted my ipod multiple of time, closed everything that's open, and they are still not working, but i get the notifications through, please help!

    Try downloading and installing another free app from the App Store.  This has resolved the issue for a number of users.  Otherwise, you may need to try and restore your iPod from a previous backup via iTunes.

  • I have apps that say they are open in the app updates, how do I get them to close and not run in the updates?

    I have apps that say they are open in the apps updates, how do I get them to close in the app updates?

    This is normal under iOS 7. The App Store app shows all apps you have updated and are displayed in an "updated" list. The apps will drop off of the list in a few weeks or so. If they show as being updated, then they have in fact been updated. They will remain in the "updated" list until they are dropped off after a time.

  • Why do the app updates freeze?

    Since last iOS 7.0.4 update the Apps updates will not work. Also I go into settings and tap the App Store and it freezes. Anyone having the same problem or know how to fix it?

    Update these apps on iTune (computer) and sync to iPad.
    Turn this setting on.

    Hi Urs
    I searched a lot and maybe found a part of the reason for this high data traffic.
    I'm synchronizing my contacts, calendar & reminder with iCloud & my mail with Hotmail.
    When push is activated for Hotmail, that doesn't matter, but when push is activated for iCloud, the amount of data nearly explodes. So I turned iCloud to manual and let Hotmail on push.
    Contacts, calendar & reminder are synchronizing when opened (I think this is enough).
    Also I do a backup on iCloud and than I deactivate the function (I do not delete the last backup, I only deactivate the option for automatic backup).
    It seems, that the backup functionality also generates traffic when not on WiFi - especially at night!!
    The battery life has been getting better, when I deactivated the support for automatic time zone changes (location services were always on).
    The battery finaly got MUCH BETTER since the update on iOS 5.0.1.
    My traffic is actually higher than on iOS 4 but not so high as before I deactivated some services...
    I hope this info is a little help for you!!
    Let me know if this works for you, ok?
    Best regards,
    Wolfgang

    Hello everyone I have a question I use my Apple ID for iMessage but I want to know if I can use my friends Apple ID just for the App Store, can I do that ????

    First on a computer try editing your ID to change the payment method to None.
    How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
    You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    If problems see:
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?
    Last:
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. You have to use an email address not used with Apple before.
