Purchase required for free update?

Heya, having some difficulties with the App Store on the desktop itunes ap for windows.
When it comes to putting money into my itunes account, i always use gift cards, as i dont want to use my credit card for it. This has always worked fine. Generally, i buy apps, and so when the app updates come through, i get them for free.
A few days ago, however, i noticed i had 3 (now 4) updates pending. as usual, i went to Aps -> 3 Updates avaliable, and clicked "Download all free updates".
But, however, it now brngs up a pop-up box asking for my account details, and to set up billing details.
I dont wish to set up any billing details, but it would seem that i have to if i want to access any FREE updates.
Any ideas on why?

Hmm, thing is, im already logged in....
ill check if setting it to none does anything...
EDIT: Aha! that fixed it. just had to click continue with "None" selected. didnt see that option before.
It would seem that my ID had been wiped, however, or something. all my review stats etc are still there, but on finishing the billing info screen, it said "congratulations, you Apple ID has been created"
Weird.
Oh well, at least it works

  • Account info Required for Free Updates to Free Apps

    Why do I have to enter account payment info (i.e. credit card number and verification code) to receive free updates to free apps?

    I'm being made to do it because I'm signing in from a different computer after my last one died.
    Unfortunately my saved credit card was cancelled ages ago and I can't remember the CVV so there is no easy way for me to change my cc info or download a free app.

  • Purchasing group for free text SC

    Hi everyone,
    We have a requirement to change the purchasing group for free text & catalog SC's. We are using SRM 7.0. Normal procedure is to select the material from catalog, purchasing group is selected  & once it is approved a PO is created.
    But, now the requirement is that if a user is selecting a catalog material, then the selection of purchasing group should be restricted as per the business.
    And if the SC is being created from Free text, then the purchaser's selection should be restricted to very few options in drop down.
    Is it possible? I was thinking if the selection of purchasers could be restricted  using BADI: BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI or BBP_PGRP_FIND BADI. But, there is no option for differentiation based on SC created using Catalog & SC's created from free text.
    Can anyone please help me with this.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Bhakti

    Hi Everyone,
    Thanks for reply.
    @Muthu: I explored the tables, but the only difference I could find between the catalog & free text SC materails is that the product id is missing for free text SC. Based on this I am unsure if any BADI can be used. Kindly let me know, if the BADI's can be called on this criteria.
    @ Virendra: I doubt if that, that can be solution, since the product cataegory for free text cannot be fixed. It will depend on user requirement.
    Pls help me to define the purcahsing groups for free text SC's.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Bhakti

  • 10.5.7 This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.

    First, 10.5.7 is not showing up in software update. I downloaded both the delta and combo 10.5.7 updates and they both give me "This volume does not meet the requirements for this update." I've done all the requisite stuff, permissions, volume check, reset PRAM, etc. I've downloaded the updates several times, and they worked on my 2008 iMac and 2007 Macbook Pro, so I know they work. I've searched and searched and can't find a resolution. It's as if there is some signature written to my boot volume that is preventing this update. Applecare was of no help either. Any ideas?

    Hi! Im new to this forum and i really dont know if this is the right place for me to say this but i really need some help!

    Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5
    To me, in all such updates, goes without saying maybe: backup, repair permissions, repair your drive (Disk Warrior does more reliable and thorough job, and it comes out to pennies if you don't wait until needed). Clone your system so you can restore or use the backup - just in case.
    I'd even do a fresh format after your clone is done and do a full OS clean install and update, and then a quick import from Setup Assistant.
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port
    Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    iTunes 10.2 or later recommended
    (free download from www.itunes.com/download)
    iTunes Store account
    Internet access
    I'm going to assume there is something with the partitions on the drive, partition table most likely, though I know I've seen others with that error message - doesn't really point to cause, rarely does (make sure latest firmware update etc is sometimes included but again, we know that isn't why).

  • Mac OS X Update Combined can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirement for this update?

    Hello everyone,
    I just purchased MBP 2.6 Ghz running Lion 10.7.3 and I am trying to install the Combo Update 10.7.4.
    After I launch the installer at the Destination Select step I get this message:
    Mac OS X Update Combined can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirement for this update.
    The sharing and permission on Macintosh HD are "Read & Write" for system, wheel and everyone.
    Please Help
    Thanks

  • OS X 10.10.1 installer says the requirement for the update does not meet

    Greetings.
    I noticed the auto update setting of my MacBook Air had been not working for a month or so today.
    So I tried to manually update OS X 10.10.1 (released Nov 17, 2014) and got this message from the installer: "OS X Update can't be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    But the thing is, my mac already meet the requirement, as description of the update.
    My mac is on OS X 10.10 and OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 Update states the system requirement as "OS X Yosemite 10.10"
    How can I update my mac? What can be the source of this problem?
    FYI, once I participated in Public Beta of Yosemite and clean-installed 10.10 from 10.9 with disk formatting.
    Tried solution: rebooting, and repairing permission and repairing OS disk using Disk Utility.
    Thank you in advance.

    In About this Mac, click on the Version number. It will change to a build number. Please post that. Although it sounds like you don't have a beta still installed, it may be still hanging around which would cause the problem you see.
    The GM Build was 14A389.
    Never knew the version number could be clicked, and now it says 10.10 (14A379b).
    I googled the build number and it's Public Beta 4. Now it is clear that my mac still have old beta version AND the OS X showed a message to me when I tried to download a copy of Yosemite from the App Store:
    Maybe the OS thinks itself as a full release of 10.10 for some reason. It explains why it did not auto download and install the system updates, regardless of the auto update System Preference of App Store.
    Now I am going to download and re-install 10.10 rather than updating the OS.
    Thank you very much Barney-15E for providing the clear answer and others for reading and giving advices.
    Have a nice day!

  • Im trying to install a new application on my mac but it keeps on coming up with 'The volume of this disk does not meet the requirements for this update' any ideas how to solve this?

    I have recently fully updated my mac to 10.8.2 and i am trying to install a small facebook application but every time i come to chose the disk it says ' OS X facebook developer preview can not be installed on this disk. This volume of this disk does not meet the requirements for this update' any ideas on how to get round this?
    thanks

    That may be the new Mountain Lion "sandbox" protective software kicking in, possibly, because ML "thinks" that App doesn't meet ML's new strict security requirements.   A common phenomena.  If you feel the 3rd party App is really OK, you can override this feature and install the new App by holding down the Command key when you click to install the new App.  That's one possibility for the error message appearing.  If not, another possibility is that that Developer Preview software package requires some previous piece of software be installed prior to downloading this Preview.  You would have to check the Facebbok websiste's Developer Forums for help if this is the case.
    Hope this helps

    is there a way to install this update?

    Hello
    More information would be useful, for example which Mac OS are you running.
    On the left menu item  About this Mac provides useful information.
    Also did you use Software Update to determine the update?
    Using Software Update can ensure you download and install the correct package for your particular Mac and OS version.

  • OS X 10.8.1 update cannot be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.

    HI
    I had installed mountain lion on my MBP 13" early 2012, but it has lots of issue, when i tryed to up date to 10.8.1 it shows the error "OS X update cannot be installed on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update"
    if i run the software update nothis is showing, current os version is 10.8

    This did not work for me.
    Note, that at one point the Apple developer knew exactly what the problem was and decided not to let us know. If we were tole what the problem was we woud have an idea of how to proceed.

  • Hard drive "does not meet the requirements" for system updates

    Hi,
    I'm running 10.2 and I'm trying to update my computer to the more recent version, except that I've gone through the update downloads on this site and anything higher than 10.3 tell me I need to run 10.3 to run it. When I tried to upgrade to 10.3, I was told that I "cannot install this software on this disk. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update". What does that mean and how do I rectify the problem? Thank you very much in advance.

    Hi Kappy! I have a similar problem: I had a problem in the past and had to re-install the system. I now have a previous sytem folder on my mac which I do not dare touch. I used to have a later version than 10.3.3 (I cannot remember which). I am now trying to update with the 10.3.9 combo update (just bought a new ipod) and I get the famous "does not meet the requirements" message. I have repaired permissions and done Onyx maintenance - still nothing. I wonder whether somehow the installer detects that there is already some newer component installed and does not want to re-install. I am awfully frustrated... Thanks in advance for your help.
