Same Updates for Apps under Lion

What is the reason, that I get after a couple of dates the same Updates for Apps which I had already updated ?
OSX = Lion

Have you tried restarting your Mac to see if those updates are still available at the App Store ?

  • HT204053 I have changed my Apple ID due to cancellation of my old email address. Now I can't download updates for apps under old ID. Why, when all settings have been changed on all my devices & in iTunes.

    Why after changing my apple Id can I not down load updates to my devices. I've changed all settings to new Id & even tried to do updates through iTunes but keeps referring back to previous Id which had to be cancelled due to email address change. Please help me find a solution to this problem. thanks.

    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with the new ID.  However, app updates for your apps purchased with your older ID will always ask for the password for this ID.  (Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.)

  • I have 2 Apple IDs. How can I move all my purchased (paid-for) apps under only 1 of my Apple IDs?

    Long ago I bought several, relatively expensive, apps under a old Apple ID.
    I then purchased many more paid-for apps under a new Apple ID.
    I was unaware that the purchased apps are tied to the Apple ID which I happen to be logged in with, at the time of the purchase: I thought they'd be tied to my authorised PC(s).
    Now I'm absolutely sick of having to constantly switch between IDs, even just to CHECK for updates.
    What I want to do is move all the paid-for apps which I bought under the old Apple ID to the new Apple ID. Both ID demonstrably belong to me.
    Having all my apps under 1 only Apple ID would allow me to update them easily, and no longer be FORCED to switch IDs all the time.
    In short I want to use only 1 Apple ID for the future.
    If the Apple Store locks the apps to the Apple ID (as it does) instead than to the authorised PC (as it should do), then it should also PREVENT a user from creating a second Apple ID (at least, from the same iTunes installation on the same PC!), or at the very least display a HUGE warning that any paid-for apps purchased under another, older Apple ID will be unavailable under the new Apple ID! The apple Store, and iTunes, do neither thing,
    Then the Apple Store and iTunes should at the very least allow a user to put all apps under the same Apple ID!
    After all, the Apple Store and iTunes on my PC and iTunes on my Iphone can all "see" that I own TWO legitimate Apple IDs (with purchases and updates): it must be possible to move these apps from one ID to the another ID, at least once! They're MY OWN purchases, paid: can I manage them a bit easier?

    No, it seems you don't (want to) understand. I see 2 things very wrong with your explanation.
    1. The move would only need to happen between "accounts" demonstrably and legitimately belonging to the same user. In fact, I'm still using both the old one (for updates only, no new purchases) and the new one (updates and purchases -- actually no morep urchases until Apple solves this). And unless I'm mistaken, I can already have my apps on more than one iDevice at the time: eg. on 1 iPhone and1 iPad. I don't ask for apps to be moved between unrelated accounts: only between accounts belonging to the same "person". And I do not see how changing what is effectively just a "label" embedded in the binary files residing on my hard disk (or in the cloud), which can be verified as legitimately belonging to me thru two ID registered on the same authorised PC could possibly allow anyone to cheat the system. The apps' files have embedded an old label before, and a new label after the operation, both belonging to me, associated to my payment details. That's not rocket science.
    In fact, both my Apple ID were at some point linked to the same credit card. And in fact, I only created a second one because at some point I managed to forget my Hotmail EMAIL password, not my Apple STORE password!
    The two passwords needn't be the same, adding to the confusion. For months I used that account to buy apps, and never checked the email, since I was not interested in marketing from Apple, and I could see the payments from my credit card statements: that's how I forgot my Hotmail EMAIL password for that Hotmail email address.
    Since Microsoft wouldn't allow me to access my Hotmail account anymore (and rightly so, becuase I managed to exhaust all possibilities, and even forgot the security question), and so I could not check my Apple Store emails, I then decided to create a new account, this time with a Live! email address, and this time I used the same password for both the Live! EMAIL and the Apple STORE authentication.
    For more than TWO years I used the old Hotmail Apple ID to get updates, without during all that time being able to read the email or access that Hotmail account: this should tell you how stupid this system is! And for the same time, and until last month (I no longer buy anything), I used the new ID for both NEW purchases and their updates.
    Now after getting both a new iPhone (only because the old one was unfortunately stolen on my holiday) and a new PC, i NO longer want to be forced to use both IDs, which forces me to constantly switch between them, and also carries the risk that I inadvertently purchase something with the old one, to which EMAIL address I no longer have access: so I can't even check invoices. But most of all, I don't want to be inconvenienced like this by Apple.
    Since the Apple ID is such an important concept, forever ID tied to your purchases, it should NOT be an email address, which are disposable by their own nature. When creating it, one is naturally driven to think it'll only be needed to check Apple Store's emails and newsletters and the such. Why should people be forced to FOREVER use an email address, perhaps linked to a job or relationship they had years earlier, to update their purchases?
    The thing is, Apple made the Apple IDs as email addresses simply to ensure that as many people as possible can at any time buy as many apps and songs as possible: just create a new Apple ID: after all, it is (seems) just an email address! and you're done. But they DON'T telly you they'll tie FOREVER your purchases to it. So you're reasonably entitled to think they'll tie them to your payments details, until you discover otherwise the hard way.
    And since most Apple users feel humbled by Apple (the "genial" idea of calling "Genius" the support guys at the stores, wo usually don't have a clue on anyhting less than trivial, is part of this) and fear of feeling "stupid" for getting wrong soemthing with what are supposed to be the most user-friendly company and products, they will simply buy the apps again under the new ID, bringing more profits to Apple. This also can't be casual.
    My apps are available, under both Apple IDs at the same time, to iTunes: be it on my PC on in the iCloud. The same mechanism that physically "embeds" that Apple ID in the app file when I first buy it, can surely be used to change it afterwards. It's just a matter of willing to do so. This content (apps, songs, etc) may be digital (that is, files) rather than traditional (eg. books), but I assure you that the disk blocks taken by the app or song files in the iTunes directory on my PC or in the iCloud are as physical as a book or a mp3 player: they CAN be changed in a perfectly safe and trackable way, without risk of cheating. Ever heard of MAC addresses? Or other unique info that can easily be gathered from the PC's operating system or BIOS? or credit card details, already available?
    2. The policy of inconveniencing (punishing) the huge majority of users (citizens) to prevent a tiny minority from misbehaving can be good for sheep, but not for rational people. It's typical of unimaginative, monopolistic companies (oppressive governments), not of progressive, modern and innovative ones. The cost of protecting their proficts from those who would steal from them is theirs (the company's), not ours (the users'). They should be more creative and inventive, in finding solutions to stop 10 people who would misuse their system, rather than annoying the 10 million who won't. I would never do so (mostly because I thing it's morally wrong, but also because I can't be bothered), but I understand why people invent ways to circumvent this gratuituos, bullish constraints.
    Also, CAN'T you REALLY see the difference between these TWO options:
    - allowing a user to change an app's associated account ONCE IN A LIFETIME, even only ONCE per app
    - FORCING a user to switch Apple IDs EVERY TIME (DAY, OR WEEK) FOREVER, to check and/or update
    ??? Am I talking to a person, or to a robot, or to a undercover Apple employee here?
    Both things are possible. The second is more convenient financially for Apple, that's all.
    But it's also so clearly unfair to their customers. No more, thanks.
    To finish, many if not almost all of the issues in threads like https://discussions.apple.com/message/18954743#18954743 (like husband and wife sharing a PC with two iPhones, or kids' gifts, etc) really boil down to this issue, despite being often complicated by sloppy explanation (when they say "password" , do they mean the Apple ID's or the Email account's?, and so on) and unreasonable requests (like having the same app, only paid once, available under two IDs, even if on the same PC: this is not what I ask, and it's unreasonable) -- and could be solved by the concept of a "master" ID and "secondary" ID: if you read well, the real issue is almost always for everybody having to switch between "old" (or "wife's", "kids'") and new (or "husband's", "dad's") Apple IDs: and this must be done on BOTH the iTunes application on the PC or Mac, and on the devices themselves.

    I have an Iphone 5  6.01.  I have a notice on my app store that I have an update. Tried to update, but it won't.  Connected to Itunes and tried to download update for App.  I can't do that either.  It won't let me update any of the apps.  What is wrong?

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
    Thanks

  • For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status.  I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

    For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together.  Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail.  Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • HT1311 How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID

    How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID. I have apps that I got for free, and some that I have purchased. I had to create a new Apple ID because I don't have a credit card now.

    Apps will always be tied to the ID in which they were purchased or downloaded under. You can not change this unless you buy or download the free  app using the new ID.

  • Do i have to log in to my apple id in order to use "auto updates for apps" in ios 7

    do i have to log in to my apple id in order to use "auto updates for apps" in ios 7

    This same exact thing started happening to me a few days ago.
    Every time I open the iPod app - I'm prompted for User/Password.  I even changed my password, thinking I forgot it, and still - insists that I enter this information.  If i hit OK or Cancel it just keeps asking like a never ending loop.
    Eventually, when I do fill out the info, it will go away until I re-open the iPod app.  This is more of an annoyance than a real issue - but if it's a bug, I hope it gets resolved.
    Any support in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

  • When doing an updates for apps on my iphone I noticed that iTunes

    When doing an updates for apps on my iphone I noticed that iTunes & app displayed somebody else’s email. It wasn’t my email.
    I log in to apple.com and change my password but iTunes& app store on my phone displayed the same strange email address.
    I went to settings/ iTunes &App Store and it shows my email.
    Question what’s happed and how to fix it?
    Iphone model A1429

    Delete those applications. If desired, sign into the iTunes App Store with yours afterwards and download them; this may require purchasing them.

  • App Store sends updates for Apps I don't have.

    App Store keeps offering me updates for Apps I don't have installed on my iMac.
    e.g. Angry Birds.
    If I click to Update I get a message "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID".
    How do I remove the update and prevent further updates being offered?
    iMac OSX 10.10.1

    Thank you for this information. I deleted a rogue App and it has solved the phantom updates appearing. However now App Store now seems to hang with the "circle of death" checking for updates. Could this be related to another topic I have raised:
    Where is the Apps list in 12.1?
    When connecting iTunes with an iPad or iPhone, the Apps page no longer lists the Apps installed on the device. It does however show all of the installed Apps in the screen facsimiles on the right hand side of the page. The Apps count top right of the page is also correct.
    Could it be that both are trying to reach the App Store server?
    Internet connectivity is fine for other applications on the same iMac and for all devices I have connected to the internet via WiFi.

  • I changed my AppleID a long time ago to an email that I no longer use and I have updates for apps that I can't update because my old email is filled in to where i sign in and it wont let me change it to my new one???

    The problem with those two apps is that they are supposed to be in your Apple ID and you didn't set up the Mac properly/completely when you got it.
    You might try deleteing them and using OS X Recovery to install them again.
    OS X Recovery -

    After that, before you open any iLife apps go to your Mac App Store account, to the Purchased pane and Accept them into your account.

  • I had to change my Apple ID. However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID.

    However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID. For instance, I had to change my apple ID from (for instance, "[email protected]") to something else ("[email protected]"). I changed it in settings to the new one, but when I go to update apps, my phone is still connected to "[email protected]"
    What should I do?

    In the Finder do a Get Info on one of those files & the folder it's in, report what it says for privileges.
    Oh, did you maybe change your short username/Home Folder's name?

  • How do i up date my apps? i have 8 updates for apps but its still giving me my old username and wants my old password

    How do i up date my apps? i have 8 updates for apps but its still giving me my old username and wants my old password when i go to update. i have restored and everything works except when i go to update the apps. ican access all other info with new username and password. when i go to update the 8 apps that need to update it shows my old username and is askinf for old password.

    - You have to sign into the account that purchased the app in order to update the app. 
    - If there are more than one app that needs updating and they were purchased by different accounts you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased with one account.
    - Also, if you changed your password you have to go to Settings>Store and sign out of the account and sign back in with the updated password.

  • HT2404 When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying: You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." But I do own the apps. And I haven't changed my ID

    When I try to download free updates for apps, I've suddenly started getting an error message saying "You cannot update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software".
    But I HAVE owned the software, for ages. (And, in any case, the apps in question are all free.)
    And I don't have multiple Apple IDs.
    What can I do?
    Any advice much appreciated

    This can occur if you bought the machine used and iLife was reinstalled with another AppleID.
    This also can occur if the "free apps" you downloaded have paid upgraded versions and/or are now payware and you can't get updates.
    All software from MAS is copy protected, it might be free as in "no charge" but it's not free in the sense you can share it with others.
