TS1702 there is an app in my updates that i have never purchased

i have an iphone 5 and when i open my appstore there is an update for an app that i have never purchased. when i update all, a message say i have never owned a version of this app and do i want to buy it before the update. how can i get rid of this. it drives me nuts.

OK I get you.  You are saying that in the app store there is a mention of an update for an app that you do not recognise.  All I can think of is this.  The apps that you might download are apple ID specific.  So on my computer when I log in with my apple id in itunes and view apps that might be available for upgrade ther might be say 8 of them.  When I am logged in with my ID and I update the apps there might be 5 apps that update and three remain. Those apps are probably not mine because they are not on my phone and I dont recognise them.  If I log out of my apple id in the app store and log in with my wife's apple ID it might show that those three apps are available for her to update becaus ethey are associated with her ID.  Once they are updated using her ID, if I then log out and log back in with my ID chances are it will show that there are no apps to update.
My guess is someone else has used your computer and has downloaded apps from the app store with a different id from yours and that appis probably the one you mentioned.
Does all that make sense?

  • My iPad won't let me download recently purchased apps. It says that I have never bought them.

    Hi,
    The other day I upgraded to the latest ios7, and after I did that, the App Store says that I have never purchased or downloaded any apps, and that I have never deleted any. This is annoying because I have spent a fair bit of money on games which I played, but now I want back, but can't get them back unless I buy them again!
    If anyone could give me some help as to what to do so that I can re-download my purchased apps, then it would be much appreciated!   

    You must use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase to re download for free.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Check the Apple ID.
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple iD

  • TS1702 There are two apps in my update section that I did not install and I want them gone.  1 says it has mature content, what the heck is this?

    there are two apps in my update section that I did not install and do not want.  How do I get rid of them without?

    Web browser apps display the same warning - and as Rkedge pointed out - any app that accesses web content may show that warning.
    Atomic, Mercury, Google Chrome, iCab Mobile ... All web browsers and I think that they all display that same warning.

    Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod?   If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G.  If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1. 

  • I keep getting banner that there is 8 apps to be updated, when i go to the App Store it says all app are updated, how do i get this to stop?

    i keep getting banner that there is 8 apps to be updated, when i go to the App Store it says all app are updated, how do i get this to stop?
    It seems that every time I start up the IPad the banner over ITunes shows 8 or more in the banner.  I have completly signed off of the ipad and it still comes up.  Any suggestions?  It seems to have coincided with IOS 7 being released, I have not downloaded IOS 7 to my IPad or my Iphone at this time.

    I"m not sure exactly what to do because once I got mine sorted out I can't exactly replicate it to test it, but it's like somehow your ID gets messed up.
    I tried to download an app, then Apple thought that I'd never bought anything from my device so went through the whole 'give your secret questions' thing and ended up having to call apple to get them to reset.
    Long story short,  the inability to update has something to do with the App Store not recognizing your device, even though part of it does recognize your device (which is why you get the little badges)
    You could try downloading a free app and see if you can verify your ID. Or you can poke around in here
    http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
    and see if you can manage your account  and see if that helps.

  • App in my app store updates that i did not purchase or download. ?

    PLEASE HELP
    i went into my app store (macbook) and proceded to update my updates. and i have found an app that i have never downloaded or purchased
    i go into this app in the store and it shoes i do not have it (the price is still on the purchase label).  when i press update, there is a very foreign email request and i have never had anyone else log into my computer, nor my itunes account.
    my question is how do i get this app out of my updates?

    You installed a hacked application, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different application, downloaded from another account. You need to identify and remove the hacked application.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select  Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
    The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any applications were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you know of, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    If any of the items listed in the search window are not listed among your purchases in the App Store, move them to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.

  • There's an app on my phone that's only showing up in my search.  How do I find this?  It's not in any folder.

    There's an app on my phone that I can't find.  It shows up in the App Store, in iTunes and search.  But I can't find it.  Any help is appreciated!  thanks.

    Did you downloaded the app?
    Do you have more than 11 pages of apps?
    If it's yes to both questions, you have to connect and select in computer iTunes to see more than 11 pages and arrange it there.

  • HT5622 My apps are not updating as I have no longer access to my eariler apple Id and now I am using a new apple Id which is allowing to download  apps but while updating those apps my iPod wants eariler apple Id password to update what should I do ?

    Hi Kanishk,
    Those apps are forever tied to the Apple ID they were purchased under. You can either delete them and re-purchase them, or you can go to Manage your Apple ID and reset the password on the old Apple ID so you can use it to update your apps: Apple - My Apple ID
    If you decide to continue to use them under the old ID password, I would suggest that when you reset that password, you change it to be the same password as the one you are currently using. That way when apps need to be updated you will only need to know one password and you won't have to be concerned with which Apple ID is displaying.

  • Can Apple make an app or an update that makes you insert your password to turn your phone off? This can help deal with theft of iPhones because people take or find a iPhone, the first thing they do is turn the phone off.

    They probably can do such s thing if they choose to do so.
    Let them know that you would like this:

    Not sure this is a very useful thing.  It would run down the battery.  All a thief has to do is remove them SIM and restore the iphone to stop it from being tracked.

  • Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes?

    Is there a DJ app for the Ipad that will read the "start" and "stop time" setting for each individual song, as they are set in the song Options screen in Itunes? The Ipod Touch, by itself does not allow cross-fading, therefore when the stop time is edited short, the song jusst truncates then goes to the next song. I tried the DJay ap and while it would crossfade, it would NOT read the song settings for the stop marker. So now I want to try and Ipad and see if there is an app that will READ the Itune stop settings within the song. I do NOT want an app that will allow me to DO the stop marker. I want an app that will READ the stop marker from the song as it is set in Itunes.

    Itunes provides the option for setting the Start and Stop times of each music track.  However, the start and stop times do not synchronize to the iPhone.  I don't understand why this option is even available as it doesn't work when listening to music on the phone.  I have not found another application that will support the start and stop time markets.  I have searched quite a bit for this but can't find anything.  I hope we can find something. 

  • An app which I have never purchased shows as an update on the App store. When I try to deal qith it shows as being purchased by someone with a different apple id than me. No one else uses my Macbook Pro. Any ideas???

    An app which I have never purchased shows as an update on the App store. When I try to deal with it shows as being purchased by someone with a different apple id than me. No one else uses my Macbook Pro. A "Genius" at one of my local Apple stores spent over 2 hours trying to fix this and could not do it. His last suuggestion was to go home, back up all the data an take the computer back to the Apple store to reinstall the operating system. Any simpler ideas to solve this problem.???

    Hi,
    Your best bet at this point then is to contact iTunes Support and get them to straighten this out for you:
    https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action
    Select the options that best apply to your issue. You will have a chance to provide a written description before you submit. iTunes Support will get back to you via email, usually within 24 hours. Be sure to check your Junk/Spam email folder if you don't hear back by then.
    They should be able to sort it out for you...
    Good luck!

  • I can't upload new apps or updated apps, and it shows that I have problem with last purchase. I guess my credit card is over limit and the purchase is not completed because of uncollected. I have filled up some to my credit card. Will it deduct later?

    The problem is I have no computer to use the Itunes and can't go to last purchase. Also, I have ipad 2 using the same adminstrator and have the same problem.

    Same thing happened to me with my peruvian credit card in the peruvian app store, I want to buy an app, but it says that my credit card is "not supported in the Peruvian app store"
