Showing updates for wrong user

At some point my girlfriend signed into the Mac App store on my computer. Now it refuses to show my updates and only shows hers ( and asks for her log in credentials to install them of course). If I go to the actual App Store page, it is clear that it is ME that is logged in and not her. And I can additionally log out and log in a million times but nothing refreshes the app update list (I have also hit command-R to manually refresh the updates page, and I see it refreshing, but still shows *her* apps). Is there some way to blow away the App Store's state so I can get my updates back?

1. Will that affect the updates list? (i.e. why is it choosing to arbitrarily show her updates instead of mine if its the case that I have a computer with apps from both accounts)
2. I don't think I have any apps with her info, but I guess I could be wrong (especially if that is for sure what causes this behavior). If that's the case, is there a utility that will point out "her" apps to me so I know which they are, because again I have no idea which they are.

  • Why can't I download Photoshop CC(2014) and why does my Creative cloud app show updates for CC(2014) products I do not have?

    Why can't I download Photoshop CC(2014) to my Mac Pro desktop running OSX 10.9.3.  My Creative Cloud app shows updates for all apps that I have as CS6 on my desktop but I have only subscribed to Photoshop CC.  Lightroom shows Install but it is installed.  Trying to Install Photoshop CC(2014) results in and error message "Installation failed Errors encountered during installation.(7) more information.
    More information gives Exit Code: 7
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting.  For Example, ERROR:

    I also cannot directly download from my account on the web.  This has been going on for a week or more and I have tried numerous suggestions on the forums but got nowhere.  I uninstalled Creative Cloud app today but could not find the installer again so I assume that was deleted.  I cannot download that now as on Adobe's site it says we are experiencing problems.  Aren't we all.
    I was happy with CC until last week but now cannot recommend it.
    I also have a Macbook Pro retina and Photoshop CC(2014) downloaded no problem on that.

  • Unix command to stop Software updates for all users except admins?

    I want to stop App Store and other software updates for all user accounts. Administrator accounts should still be able to do Software Updates.
    Is there a terminal command that can do that i can push out through ARD?
    Thanks

    Managed preferences are the best bet. You could use Profile Manager or use the mcx command from the command line. I'd strongly suggest browsing over this before delving into MCX though...

    (the Workgroup Manager application shown is deprecated, but it's essentially the same with Profiles and running MCX from the command line)

  • ITunes doesn't show updates for those Apps synchronized from iPhone

    For example, if I download 3 apps through itunes, then download and install 2 apps on my iphone. After synchronizing the PC and iphone, both of them have 5 apps. Once all of them have updates available, the app store on my iphone can show 5 updates, but iTunes only shows 3 updates, it doesn't show updates for the other two apps. Is it a setting issue? please help me if anyone has answer. Thank you.

    I am syncing on my MacBook that I have had for about two months...?

  • Mac App Store showing updates for an app I didn't purchase

    The Mac App Store keeps showing updates for 'Nyan Cat: Lost in Space', but I have not purchased this app. When I click 'update', it shows up with somebody else's email address, which I did not recognise, and if I try to enter my email address + password it does not accept.

    Let me beat you to it here... the Apple ID you are seeing is....
    DRUM ROLL !!!!     
    [email protected]  <-- TRALLAHHHH LAHHHHH!!
    This is because you (or let's say someone else) has been doing some very naughty Utorrenting.
    Now, with this info to arm yourself, you may be able to figure out what cracked item you have placed on that machine.

  • Photoshop CC 2014.1 not Showing Update for 2014.2

    My Photoshop cc 2014.1 is not showing the update for 2014.2.  I have 2 computers and one updated and the other isn't showing the .2 update.  They both are using Windows 8.1.  I was online with customer service earlier and they weren't able to provide an answer yet.  I had to leave for work so customer service is to get back with me.  In the mean time I'm trying to see any answers out there.  I uninstalled the creative cloud desktop app earlier since I did have problems when it just hung on the update for the creative cloud desktop app.  I deleted some folders that the customer service rep stated and reinstalled and I was able to reinstall the CC desktop app.  I have tried do the update through Photoshop and the application manager also says it's up-to-date.  I did check the version just to ensure that it didn't update but it is 2014.1
    Why is it this computer doesn't see the .2 update?
    Thanks

    Hi Krakat,
    I would recommend below mentioned steps.
    User cleaner to Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 and clean, Adobe Application Manager and Creative Cloud.
    Install Creative cloud from : Free Creative Cloud | Download Adobe Creative Cloud free trial
    If problem persists, create another user account and check if the problem persists.
    Thanks,

  • Download same software update for each user account? is this right?

    i am sorry if this is the wrong place, i have looked all over these discussions for help and help is what i need. i downloaded the iphone 3.0 software update on one user account and installed it. then i logged into another user account on the same imac so i could apply that 3.0 update to another iphone and it made me re-download the entire update? is that normal for each individual user to have to download the exact same update separately? it seems like such a waste of time to download the same update two times.
    20" imac with tiger 10.4.11

    Hi,
    Not sure o the iPhone SW, but much Software has an option to install for all Users or just one... if running from an Admin account.

  • Some asset classes do not show up for a user in S_ALR_87011990

    Hi
    When the asset history sheet is run in S_ALR_87011990, a user is unable to display some asset classes in the report. This was referred to security team. They say that everything looks fine and nothing appears wrong for that user--roles and profiles ok etc.,. No worklists are being used and no variants are being used. No dynamic selections either.
    Can someone let me know why the user is unable to display some asset classes. Asset classes that the user is unable to display were created last year. Most users are able to display these asset classes in the report except this user.
    Please  help and provide some exact solution.
    Best wishes
    Rajmohan..

    Hi Rajmohan,
    most probably it is a authorization problem.
    Please compare the assets which are not shown with this user. It could be a cost center.

  • How to show inboxs for multiple users?

    I recently have started using the Mail App on my iMac. I was using my company's OWA as my standard mail program but I found the Mac mail easier to use. But... In my OWA it was possible for me to have multiple accounts and inboxs from the same server (exchange 2007) and after I had set up my mac mail with my primary exchange account, I couldn't send or recieve from my other accounts. Then I saw that I could type in more e-mail addresses in the Account setup and now it is possible for me to send fromthese accounts.
    But still.. I can't see the incoming mails for these accounts. Anybody who knows how to setup mac mail app so I can see the incoming mails for ohter users than my primary?

    I've found the same problem in OS X Lion, with Mail, iCal and Address Book getting confused when two Exchange accounts on the same server are configured, resulting in either missing or duplicate entries (despite everything appearing fine when accessing the accounts individually via Outlook or OWA).  iOS doesn't have any problem with this setup; two Exchange accounts on the same server work perfectly; the issue seems specific to Mac OS X.
    After some experimentation I've found a workaround.  Since the issue crops up with two Exchange accounts on the same server, it seems possible to trick OS X into thinking the accounts are on two separate servers through a little DNS manipulation (which I realize may not be a practical option for everyone).  Here's what resolved the issue for me:
    My external and internal DNS FQDNs for the mail server were mail.mydomain.com.
    I set up a new DNS entry - mail2.mydomain.com - as a CNAME for mail.mydomain.com.
    On my Mac, I set up Exchange account #1 with the server set to mail.mydomain.com.
    I then set up Exchange account #2 with the server set to mail2.mydomain.com.
    Even though both FQDNs resolve to the same IP, this seems sufficient for Mac OS X to consider them as separate servers, elliminating the problems I had before when I set both Exchange accounts to the same mail server FQDN.
    I've only tried this on OS X 10.7 Lion, and the recent 10.7.1 update, although I wouldn't be surprised if the same trick works for earlier versions of OS X.

  • App updates for multiple users on same Mac with maverick

    Background.  I have a single iMac that I have been using since ~2007. It's a family computer and there are three(3) accounts/users on it.  I am the administrator for them.  The operating system has been kept up with each OS upgrade since its purchase.  We are currently using Maverick.
    Problem - In the past with all the other operating systems (pre-Maverick), when a application needed to be upgraded I could log into my account (administrator rights) and perform the necessary upgrade and it would propgate to ALL the users on this computer.  However, since upgrading to Maverick I can no longer just upgrade on the administrators account (i.e. mine) and it propogate to the other users.  I now have to log into each individual account (i.e my wifes and sons) and perform the upgrades to their account.
    Question - Does anyone know if there is a way to allow the administrator to perform the single upgrade that propogates to others users in OS Maverick without having to log into each individual accounts and updating each account separately.  Also does anyone know why OS Maverick no longer supports the capability like ALL previous OS's have in the past? 
    Thanks

    Ok thanks.  The apps that I'm referring to are: Pages, keynote, numbers, iMovie, and iPhoto.  Each of these were originally purchased or came (iLife / iWork) with the machine when I purchased it.  All of those apps are located for each user under HD/Applications folder.  Each user does have a apple iD for itunes and itunes purchases for songs etc. but all applications are purchased by me the administrator and placed in the HD/Applications folder.  So I'm not sure why I now (since upgrading) to Maverick need to go into each account and perform the updates to these apps.  All previous OS updates never had this problem. 
    Does this now mean for each user that I perform the update my HD is getting multiple downloads and installs and increasing the amount of usage per application.  For example if "pages" takes 1 Gb and I install it for each user will it now take a total of 3Gb for the 3 users?
    Thanks for your help

  • App Store icon show update for apps that i did not install.

    Hi, i seriously jammed with my head, my appstore show that there an update for this angry bird icon, but when i checked, i did not install any angry bird games on my macbook. how do i resolve this?

    It's quite likely that your son is making in-app purchases. Many free or inexpensive games offer additional features - levels, coins, tools, weapons, etc. - that are purchased from within the game, and these purchases can be quite expensive or can add up very quickly. Check your Purchase History for your iTunes Store account; such purchases would be reflected there. If they are, then ask your son about this. There may be no fraud at all.
    To prevent such unauthorized purchases from within an app, set the Restrictions on your son's iPhone to turn off In-App purchasing and, I'd recommend, to  the "immediate" setting for requiring a password for purchasing.
    Regards.

  • Software updates for wrong card?

    My system profiler lists my graphics chipset model as NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 yet software update is telling me to download the firmware update for the ATI Radeon HD 4850. I'm confused. Which card do I have? Can't find a reference to the ATI card anywhere on my 24" 2.93 GHz Core 2 Duo iMac and can't believe it'd install if it were the wrong one but.........

    That link (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237) certainly appears to suggest that the Firmware update might apply to most early 2009 iMacs.
    However the release notes for the update state:-
    "This update fixes intermittent system freeze issues for iMac computers with ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics and fixes wake-from-sleep issues in Boot Camp."
    They also state:-
    "After the firmware is successfully applied to your Mac, your Boot ROM Version will be:

    IM91.008D.B08"
    The release notes therefore seem to point just to those machines with the Radeon card which unfortunately was the cause of the confusion in the first place.
    I think that Apple needs to issue a definitive answer by way of amending the Software Update and Stand Alone download release notes that clears up the issue once and for all Also, if appropriate, they should stop the update appearing in Software Update on iMacs without the Radeon HD4850 graphics card.
