Selling Macbook- App Store still shows my app updates

I'm selling my macbook pro and have signed out of the app store, but the app store still shows that 4 updates are available (for me, not for the new owner)- any way to 'reset' the app store on the mac?
Everything else has been reset: itunes, user accounts, etc.

Do yourself, and the buyer a favor and do the smart thing..erase the drive and reinstall the OS before selling it.

I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it?

I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it? I can't right click, i cant do anything to get rid of it.

Nope that's not it, I always use that particular ID, but the @me.com portion of the Apple ID is missing when trying to download from the App Store on the Phone.
It is grayed out inside the App Store app so I can't change it there and I already changed it in the settings.
The entire Apple ID is fine in the Settings so I don't get why the App Store ID is different and missing information.

My MBP runs Yosemite but app store still shows it's to download

I wonder why app store still shows Yosemite to "download" when it's installed?

That's normal.
It means you can download it again in case you want/need to installed again at a later time
In my case, as i have two machines and I don't want to download the 5GB again, I didn't install right away, I first stowed the "Install Yosemite" application to an external disk and then installed from there. Now I can upgrade the second machine without downloading again

Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. You may have already done this.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

App Store always shows Motion needs updating...

I've had this problem for months now. The App Store always shows Motion needs updating. But I have updated Motion (I check to make sure I have the current version).
I've ignored this problem up until now because Motion works fine and I do have the current version. I figured that sooner or later Apple would issue some fix, or that it would disappear on a future Motion or OS update. Well, I just updated to Mountain Lion yesterday, and I've updated Motion at least a couple of times, and the problem continues.
And now it's getting stuck in a loop showing I need to update to 5.0.7, even though I've updated. But now when I look in the update section of the App Store, it shows that it is possible to update (even though I have the current version). If I click "Update" again, it starts downloading and then starts endlessly installing it, but never finishes.
Any idea what's going on here? Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I did speak with Apple support last night. I uninstalled & reinstalled, and now I have the current version and it is working fine.
However, I'm still having the same problem I've been having for months: The App Store shows that I need to update Motion, even though I already have the current version. I don't know what is causing that, especially after I uninstalled and reinstalled.

Changed feed and deleted old account. iTunes Store still showing deleted content?

I was a former use of Podomatic and published my RSS feed to iTunes in order to publish my podcasts. I am now publishing to iTunes direct from my webserver via software "Feed For All" that I purchased. iTunes approved the changed URL RSS feed and it's working fine in the iTunes store. All that is available via the Feed for All URL is being published by iTunes, so that's not the problem. The problem lays in that I deleted my Podomatic account approximately 7 days ago, and iTunes Store still shows the Podomatic content ... i.e., unplayable and not working podcasts as well as the avatar from my Podomatic account.
How long does it take for iTunes to strip out the old Podomatic stuff?
Thank you.
Rachael

His content will only be where he put it.
Has he copied his content from his old comptuer to the new one?

Already updated to 10.7.4, app store still shows update, why?

Just updated to 10.7.4, yet app store in dock still shows the 10.7.4 update as being needed, is there a way to just make the little red "1" go away?

more likely to get an answer in Lion or App Store support forum.
Someone said it was a known bug though not that long ago.
So if you need to redownload it is a simple procedure to do so.

After updating all apps App Store still shows apps to update

I have 6 apps in the App Store in the update section: Cloud, Keynote, Pages, iMovie, Xcode, Numbers.
Screenshot:
For example Numbers is up-to-date (it's 3.2.2 already)
But the system still shows the update info for some reason. When I click update, a progress bar appears and the update is downloaded.
The update is installed and shows status 'Installed' - the counter for updates decreases.
But when I quit App Store and relaunch it 6 updates appear again (Numbers as well)
What I did already (and it didn't help)
I had Spotlight disabled, re-enabling it and re-indexing => nothing
reset App Store and remove cookies with Debug mode => nothing
Any ideas?

Ok, I fixed it somehow (not sure if this is a real solution or just an accident). What I did: log out of App Store and log in again, quit App Store, remove it from Dock, in Activity Monitor kill everything app store related. Go to 'About this Mac' click 'Software Update' and there was just a real XCode update which finished. Woohoo!

HT201272 why is itunes app store still showing prices for previous purchases?

I have not had this problem until recently. prior to today, I could go into iTunes App Store and a show or movie I already own is available for download but now it shows the cost. I dare click on it for fear of being double billed. This is frustrating because iTunes just started allowing us to access our purchased content without connecting to the computer and downloading them as often as we wanted. Is this problem affecting others or just me?

I started having the same problem yesterday.
In fact, I just now downloaded a free app. With the app now on my PC, it still shows that it is "free" rather than "downloaded" on the iTunes app page. I moved the .jpa file out of the default folder, and refreshed the app page in iTunes. Similarly, it does not show a "download" option like it should. It makes re-downloading apps that I have paid for in the past difficult if there is not the "download" bar to indicate that I am entitled to the app.
It's probably related, but at one point last night I had a bunch of apps with available updates. I tried to go to the iTunes page on my PC to view the apps with updates. At that point I got a pop-up window stating that I did not have any updates available, and it has been zero ever since. I did not download the updates, nor did all of the apps disappear from the iTunes catalog.
I have an iPad 2 and recently got an iPod Touch. I want to re-download some non HD apps for the Touch that I ditched for HD versions on the iPad. I, too, do not want to be re-billed.

Server update 2.2.5 still showing in AppStore Updates

Hi
OS X 10.8.5 with Server I've installed the server 2.2.5 update but AppStore still shows it as an available update. Restarted the system, same result. Does this mean that the update hasn't installed correctly or is it just an error in AppStore?

What I have found is that if you have a copy of the Server App on another drive someplace as a backup this will register for the App store to be upgraded if that folder is within the folders that Spotlight monitors.
Once I deleted my backup folder I no longer had this appear. If you do not want to delete it then remove it from Spotlight.

Updates prompts still show up after updates

I updated twice. But it still shows up. Pay attention to the timestamps. Any idea?

App Store Keeps Wanting To Update Apps

New Keynote still Showing as needing Update

I updated Keynote on one of our Macs, and then to save download bandwidth, I copied the new updated Keynote another of our Macs.
Runs fine, but Software Update on both of the computers show that the updage (already downloaded and installed) is still available...
Thoughts on how to keep this from showing as an update?
Thanks
Bob

Dah veed,
I reindexed Spotlight, but Software Update still thinks that Keynote needs to be updated...
Seems like in the "old days" that there used to be a pkg that needed to be trashed.... That being said, I'm not sure how Software Update keeps track of software and updates these days...
Thanks
Bob

HT2404 Although I have selected the recent OS X 10.8.3 update several times, waited for the installation to take place, then Restarted at the prompt the App Store still shows the update to be outstanding. How can I tell if the update has completed?

When I choose 'About This Mac' from the Apple pull down, I get a pop up that says I'm only updated through version 10.8.2... My question has changed - why is my iMac not taking the 10.8.3 update?

From several others:
Download the OS X Mountain Lion Update v10.8.3 (Combo) at

This worked for me...

Macbook sold but still showing under my devices in Find my phone

I sold my macbook about 3 years ago and from recollection re imaged it before sale and named it after the new buyer. I have noticed recently that it is still listed under my devices in iCloud/find my phone. I no longer have the buyers details so cannot liaise with him to resolve the issue. Anyy ideas or should I call Apple Support.

I am OSX 10.8.2 User why still showing 10.7 update for me?

This is very weird , it shows all the time when I check any app can be updated !
My MBA (2011 mid) came with 10.7 and I purchased 10.8 couple months ago when it was released by App store. And I did clean install my current OSX 10.8 (then up to 10.8.1 --> 10.8.2 today), so it should not mess up with 10.7 OSX.
Any expert can help and let me know what happened?
Appreciated !

Sorry, mate, it should be itune 10.7, not OSX 10.7 update! My fault!
