Unable to get Pages software update as appleid is different to one at purchase

Recently got a buddy to buy a new mac mini for me in the US. Tried to set it up last night in Ireland but was unable to download the suggested update to Pages as the email address on the machine (my appleid) was different to that provided when purchasing the machine.
How do I get around this? What when it comes to a serious security update and I cannot install it due to this stupid limitation? Who's big brother now?

Eventually found the answer. Click on this link: Alerts may occur when accepting bundled applications from the Mac App Store - Apple Support
Why should I have to "accept" free software on a new machine though!

    I live in Jamaica and am unable to update my Lumia 920 software to Lumia black, as a matter of fact, I didn't even get the amber update. Any help please..... My carrier is digicel.

  • Getting an error message that unable to check for software update when trying to download new iOS 8.0.2 update ?? Can someone help ???

    Getting an error message of unable to
    check for software update when trying to update to
    ios 8.0.2. Can someone help ??

    Howdy there otss1979,
    It sounds like you are unable to download the iOS 8.0.2 update either, over the air, or using iTunes. If you are updating the software on your phone in Settings > General > software update I would recommend starting with this article:
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
    If you are using iTunes, I would use this article instead:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors in iTunes
    If you are getting a specific error number, the following article will help you get that resolved:
    Resolve iOS update and restore errors
    If this does not resolve the issue, could you please write the error message you are getting word for word for me?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Restored iPod, can't get january software update

    I had to restore my ipod to make it sync with another computer and now I can't get the software update I freakin bought. I have tried everything under iPod Touch on the support pages. I have everything right and it just won't let me get it. This computer I bought the update on has had the OS reinstalled on it since then.

    I've got the same problem. My touch came w/ 1.1.3. I up'd to 1.1.4, and purchased the January app update when it came out.
    I wanted to wipe my iPod of personal information (going to sell it). I read on here that doing the settings:erase doesn't remove all information (wifi, iTunes purchase). Tried it, verified that post was correct (I could still attach to my encrypted wifi). So I went looking for a total reset instructions.
    Found Apple's webpage on how to do it, and then how to install, verify or reinstall the January update: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1376
    So I factory-reset it, then followed the instructions to reapply the update. It's not working for me. I can sync music, videos, etc to it. I see the correct software version and serial number when I click on it in iTunes. Just no new apps on it.
    I've performed the reset/sync ordeal a few times now. Tried setting it to manual, just to see if that might do the trick. Or toggling to non-manual afterward.
    Still no luck

  • I am unable to download ANY software updates whatsoever...

    I am unable to download any software updates, whether it be Microsoft Office, Adobe or Apple updates. I run the update and I always ultimately get a message that there was an error (unspecified) and the update (du jour) could not be downloaded. I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 and have been unable to update to any newer version as a result of this issue. Any suggestions?

    First things first.
    Microsoft Office updates you get here:

    Adobe updates you get here:

    Apple updates use Software Update.

  • How do we get a software update for realplayer tha...

    How do we get a software update for realplayer that comes with the phone ?  Thanks.

    You wait for a firmware update that includes it.
    S60v5 phones also have a gizmo called "Application update". Sometimes elements in the firmware receive an update that way. For example, there was recently an update to FlashLite 3.1 on the 5800 XpressMusic.

    If the iTunes purchases are not in your iTunes library you can redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you restore from backup, not that synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup and thus if those items are not in the iTunes library they can't be restored to the iPod during the latter part of the restore process.

    Hi,
    According to your description about unable to get Office 2010 update, you can check this setting and try again.
    Go to Control Panel > Windows Update > Change Settings, tick the option of “Give me update for other Microsoft when I update Windows”.

    Unless you are already using iOS 5, you have to connect to your itunes (on your computer) by cable, and will not have the update option in your iPhone's settings.

  • I need help getting the software updates

    i was constantly disconnecting from the internet when playing online games on the mac side of my hard drive until i got a software update, but i dont think the update carried over to my windows xp partition, so i still frequently disconnect when playing games on windows, anybody know what the problem is or how i can get the software updates on the windows side?

    i dont think the update carried over to my windows xp partition
    Of course it didn't. Mac updates don't affect windows, and vice versa.

  • Unable to connect to software update

    New mac pro, has been unable to connect to software update, multiple attempts over past 3 days. Other browser problems listed in other thread, but this is the most concerning at the moment. Linksys wireless, DSL modem, Cisco router. Airport extreme card (I installed)

    Linksys wireless
    Do you show an active wireless connection in the Menu Bar (fans are lit)? If not, check your Extreme Card to make sure the physical installation is correct.
    On the Network end: Linksys is not a good wireless unit for the Mac Platform. Not very good support.
    To make the best of it: Make sure you have the latest firmware installed for the Linksys unit. Same for the Cisco router.
    Here's some suggestions specific to the Network Panel:
    Go to the System Preferences>Network panel
    - Location - set up a personal location by clicking on the drop down menu and selecting "add a location". Use a name familiar to you. Once established, select "apply".
    - Next, click on the "Show" drop down menu and select Network Port Configurations. Only Airport ought to be checked, unless you are using a Bluetooth device. Move it to the top of the list (you can drag it). Select "apply".
    - Back to the "Show" menu>Airport. Click on the TCP panel. There, enter 208.67.222.222 and
    208.67.220.220 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box, or try the Verizon codes of 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 and select "apply".
    Creating a personal location, plus adding the DNS codes seems to speed things up. Otherwise, the "automatic" function has a tendency to "search" for available locations.
    In the Finder, go to your Utilities folder and select "Terminal". Once the screen is open enter lookupd -flushcache and press return. This clears out the DNS cache. Once done, quit Terminal.
