Removing incorrect apple IDs from app store

I want to update my apps. But it prompts me to enter the password for some else's apple ID. How can I remove the incorrect apple ID so I can enter mine?

Go to Settings > Store click on the Apple ID, then sign out from that ID and then sign in with the right ID.

You've logged into your account and viewed your purchase history and there aren't any error messages shown (e.g. 'problem with a previous purchase'), and you haven't got any purchases due (e.g. pre-orders and/or subscriptions) : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information ?

You cannot transfer any purchases made using the old Apple ID to the new one. Either you repurchase them under the new Apple ID or see if Apple can transfer them for you.

Incorrect Apple ID in App Store / How to do a fresh Lion install

I'm trying to redownload the OSX Lion Install App. I held the Option key when clicking purchases and instead of saying "Installed", it now says "Download". However, even though I'm signed into the App Store with my personal Apple ID, it asks me to authenticate but defaults to another apple ID of a person I don't know.
I purchased Lion when it came out as an upgrade, so I don't understand why it won't authenticate. When I delete the incorrect Apple ID and enter my own, I get this unknown error box: http://www.evernote.com/shard/s14/sh/777881b0-45fc-4773-8f54-eb5f00c31646/d54b1d 60dc9d1ad581629c56e50b5fe0
"Unknown Error"
That error is followed by this one: http://www.evernote.com/shard/s14/sh/97428d42-fdec-401c-8199-79cc99cbbb57/ff3791 6bdafb4add24123f522b16b3ed
"we could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
In reality, I'm simply trying to wipe the hard drive clean as I sold this macbook air on ebay and want to deliver it as a fresh install. But when I use the reocovery partition to reinstall Lion, it forces me to connect to the internet and automatically imports all of my user data, which defeats the point!
Any help in resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have an old .mac iTunes account, it cannot be deleted, I use my new mobileme/iCloud account.
Both passwords are the same so it's easy to switch if any older Apps etc.. need updating..

Restore your phone. When it asks you for the ID put in the correct one.

How to remove keynote update notification from App Store?

Hi guys, I am trying to remove Keynote and Page update notifications showing on App Store (since I don't use those apps). I have already deleted them from App folder.
Right click on the notification does not show "remove" option (nor any other option). Any thoughts?
Best,
Manuel.

Hi Imp68,
You were right, I used migration assistant earlier and it seems that it created another folder for keynote and pages ( /Applications/iWork '09 ) and I missed to see it. Deleting it solved my issue. Thanks for the tip!
Best,
Manuel.

How do I remove red dot update from App Store icon

I just updated nine iPhone apps via iTunes during a recent sync of my iPhone (5s OSv8.1.2). Update and sync both went fine without a hitch. However, the App Store icon on my iPhone still has a red notification dot with a number 9. I've gone into the app, selected Updates, and noticed that all nine apps are listed there with an "Open" box next to them. I've opened each app and each works fine. I've powered off the phone; same problem.
How do I remove the red dot notification next to the App Store app?
Thanks.

Hello, I finally went to the App Store support who rang me back and went through it. It seems that Mountain Lion will not operate iPhoto 9.3.2, you have to have 9.4.2. So trashed the application in my Applications folder (which has cleared my App Store of the hanging iPhoto updater) and they signposted me to the download for 9.4.2 (mind you it is taking hours to download!!) I live in hope that this will fix it. If it doesn't I'll let you know!

Cannot remove Credit Card information from App Store

Hi
I had my account hacked sometime back. The person who did the hacking left the account name, but changed everything else, including my CC#. I called Apple and after several hours, I had my account back to normal.
The person on the other end of the phone told me when I wanted to make a purchase, I should enter my cc# and remove it after I had made the purchase. Today I tried and there seems to be no way to remove the card.
I found some info on this forum about removing the CC by setting the payment option to 'none'. That does not seem to be an option anymore, and when I try to delete number, the website keeps telling me to enter a valid CC#. Any ideas?

Apple Remote from App Store

Not to sound like an idiot but how does this work?

not sure you need to do ALL that. make sure iTunes searches for remotes (as stated above).
once you've opened the Remote app on the iPhone, and has connected, you should see "iphone remote" (or whatever it is) listed under "devices" in the left panel of iTunes on your computer. click on it, and it should ask you for the 4-digit PIN. enter it and you should be good to go.

How to remove previous owner's Apple ID request from App Store?

When I try to update an app App Store asks for the previous owner's Apple ID and not for my Apple ID. How can I change it to ask for my details?How to remove previous owner's Apple ID from App Store?

Before buying a second-hand computer, you should have run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test, whichever is applicable.
The first thing to do after buying the computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
          OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
          The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
          You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

How do I remove a secondary apple id from my Mac? I am being prompted for a apple id password for a former user; I do not have the information. Prevents updates from App Store.

How do I remove a secondary Apple ID that is not in use from my MacBook pro? The ID does not belong to me and when I attempt to download updates from App Store with my Apple ID, I am prompted for the password of the secondary Apple ID.

Is this a second hand Mac? If so, you need to erase the Mac and install the version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac from the factory. Then you set the Mac up as new with your Apple ID.
User Linc Davis explains how a new owner can prepare a 2nd hand Mac for their own use.
