Problem with app store say i need to update app

I had to do a clean install of snow leopard because i didnt like the way lion ran on my macbook. 2 days later i saw an app store update icon. I found it odd since i hadnt added any apps yet. it said there is an update for the store news app. but i dont have that app so i tried to install it and delete it to get rid of red update icon but it says i have to sign in with some strange email because it linked to that account. im lost and dont know how that is possible. can someone please explain how to get rid of it. remember I dont have any apps installed yet and i did clean install of sl.

HT1338 Turbotax in app store says i need to update to Mac OS X 10.8.2

Turbotax in app store says i need to update my macbook pro to Mac OS X 10.8.2, and when I go to Software Update on my apple button to upgrade from my OS X 10.6.8 nothing appears as needing to be updated except iPhoto. What do I need to do so my Macbook recognizes or can download the latestest system update?

If you need to upgrade to Mountain Lion:
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:

You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

Good day Goose253501,
It sounds as though your iPhone is having some difficulty accessing the App Store servers when attempting to sign in. I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Problem with my Macbook, do I need to update to 10.6?

Hello, I am new in here, and I am typing as America Sign Lanuage. I hope you can understand what I am tying to say.
I am stuck with Macbook Leopard, 10.5.8, I have this macbook for 4 years. (May 2009) I am starting have Freezing when I use firefox, safari, or set macbook to sleep/close it. I has to press power button to force turn off after the freeze. I check on Software Update, it says: "Your Software is up to date. Software Update doesn't have any new software for your computer at this time."
I am thinking to buy 10.6. It is perhap help this slove, no? However, will I lose everything if I am plan to update to OS X 10.6?
(Even if I want to update to OS X Mavericks?)
After update, will I lose my Adobe CS 4? I don't have Adobe Disc, it was gift.
I tried duplicate photoshop, turn it into zip then move it into my father macbook pro, that have 10.9. It say that CS4 license stop working.
My macbook is:
Version 10.5.8
Processor 1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Edit: Will I have problem with Steam afte update?

Had update to Snow Leopard. Thank to my friend at college. Not sure what I can do with this problem topic. haha

TS1538 I have had issues for a week now. Cannot update or purchase from iTunes. Sign in appears then, before I can even input my info it vanishes. App store says I need 24 updates but when I press the icon to do so, it states that my device could not conn

I have restarted device several times. Have unplugged wireless several times. Have done everything Apple has stated to do on their trouble shooting page. Have called Apple seeking advice. Was told for 35 bucks they can help over the phone or choose the free email. I chose the free method and followed what they suggested! Still nothing. I am incensed that they want 700 dollars for this POS and then want 35 bucks for verbal customer service!! I will never purchase another Apple product again if this does not get resolved. I am so disappointed. Then to be told that "for a fee" I can get verbal help. I was told my product warrantee has expired, I wonder if it expired as soon as I had issues. I am fed up! Looking for window to throw this out of or place it where an automobile is backing up. I would like the last week of my life back spent trying to fix this hunk a junk!! Oh, they had no problems before taking my money for songs and apps! Why can't they help fix this issue!!

No one here works for Apple. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. You tend to get from this forum what you bring to it. If you come in ranting and raving and saying you're going to throw your iPhone out the window and that Apple is mean, people are not likely to respond to you with sweetness and light and puppies and kittens.
If you really want help, I'd suggest you take a deep breath and then start a new thread in which you explain the problems you're having, the steps you've taken to resolve the problems, any error messages you've gotten. Stick to the facts. Check the attitude and emotion at the door. People will do their best to help you.
Best of luck.

My MacKeeper says iPhoto is out of date. When I try to update the App Store says I need IOS 10.9 or later. I have 10.7.5 and when I check for updates my Mac says the software is up to date. How do I solve this problem??

1. First step to solving the Problem: Trash MacKeeper. It's a pile of trash that does far more harm to your computer than good.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691
2. What version of iPhoto do you have? (iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto)

Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

You must be signed into the Apple Store with your Apple ID or it won't work.
and
How to deal with a 100 Store Error:
Try here > Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here;
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Now here:
~/Library/Preferences/
Click Go
Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
com.apple.appstore.plist
com.apple.storeagent.pllist
Now here:
~/Library/Cookies
Click Go
Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, try the App Store.

I have a problem with app store , they say my credict card security code is incorrect but it's correct

I have a problem with app store , they say my credict card security code is incorrect but it's correct

Did you check to see if your credit card has expired or has been frozen? My dad bought some hardware from Canada and it froze his card because it was an out of the country purchase. He called the bank and they turned it back on.

I updated to Yosemite. iPhoto says I need to update to the latest version. The app store says the version I need is not available in the US. Thus iPhoto won't work or even open at this point

I updated to the yosemite system. My iPhoto says I need to update to the latest version for it to work with yosemite. The app store searches and then states the version I need is not available in the US. Currently I cannot use iPhoto. Suggestions?

Csound1,
Thanks for the hint about not emptying the trash. I will try to work on this tonight or tomorrow morning and let you know if "this helped me".
Russell,
If you go into the iLife support forum for iPhoto, there are a couple good threads. Basically, iPhoto can't be downloaded by anyone anywhere in the world unless the app store has it listed in your "purchases" list. The threads contain a lot of steps and it looks like this could be difficult for novices like me.
Rysz,
I will also look at the link you provided before I get started. Thanks.

I have 10.7.2 and the app store on mac mini says i need to update to that same number, and it is a long update why and what to do? applecare rep was rude and said it does not need it ? ignore? what to do?

about says i have 10.7.2 yet app store on mac mini says i need to update it,
what to do? applecare rep rude says ignore

i appreciate the help since Applecare is not helping,
and these replies have not helped, things have gotten worse,
first even though you tell me i dont need the update, i still don't like seeing
an update is available every time i go to macappstore,
next three times now I downloaded the update, it is the whole 3.79 gb Mac OS 10.7.2
i do the long download for the update,
and install and give whatever they ask in passwords etc,
then it reboots and go through all the new installation crap
that I need to do
it is getting to be like a Microsoft project here,
and i cannot get google to show me the way or Applecare
with the one year left on extended support, and these apple communities
don't get me wrong, i am greatful for any help,
especially since Apple care refuses to help,
when they are paid to help
you guys and gals are volunteers and mean well, even though you want to be right about what you say,
the point is it says I need an update for the 10.7.2 and won't give me the update
and take the update off,
now if you say it is something i do not need and it is a glitch with macappstore,
then why doesn't it get fixed or someone else complain about it?
sorry if this offends Apple Zealots which i am one,
I have a windows netbook but I am having more trouble with the latest mac and Icloud which I paid for extra service
and two iphones and i am frustrated, that on the iphone and itunes apps are missing and itunes does not have a direct chat line to help but that is for another forum, just putting it out there.

Apps will not download--says not valid to use in U.S. store says I need to use Canadian store-- have not had this problem before-- how to fix??

Try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your iPad and tap on your account id, tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select Canada

I have an older Ipod touch with 4.2.1 and cannot be updated any further, how do I install apps on it now? so far every app I have tried says I need an updated IOS. This sounds like I now have an apple product paper weight.

This sounds like I now have an apple product paper weight unless I want to run out and buy the latest and greatest overpriced apple product.

Are you willing to buy a newer iPod? How about the 4g @ 16gb for $199* usd or the 5g @ 32gb for $299*.
* tax not included.
