Unable to update apps after upgrading to yosemite

I have update my mavericks to Yosemite. But after upgrading , i m not able to update the apps. Its giving the error : "The update is not available for this apple id either because it was bought by a diff user or the item was refunded or canceled".
It is to be noted that the i haven't changed my apple id.

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
Step 1
A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
Step 2
If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 3
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 4
From the App Store menu bar, select
          Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
Step 5
According to a report, the error can result from changing the language setting of your Apple ID account. I can't confirm.

  • I cannot update apps after upgrading to Yosemite. Please Help!

    Hello,
    After upgrading to Yosemite, i wanted to go on to iMovie, but i have to update. So i try to update but it refuses and tells me: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    So what i understand is because i bought this mac in the US and I'm using it in the UK its not letting me update it. But what i don't understand is that i was able to upgrade to Yosemite with my mac knowing i was in the UK.
    How can i update my applications?
    Thank you for your time,
    TOAOMA

    Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
    1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept it and the other iLife/iWork applications into your Apple ID, do so.
    2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
    3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
    4. Buy them.

  • Unable to update apps after 10.5 update

    I have been unable to update apps on my iPhone since downloading iTunes 10.5.
    I have an established connection in iTunes to my account and can download apps but when I when I click on "# Updates Available" I am asked to sign in again and then receive a message that the iTunes Store is unavailable and to try again later.
    All system software is up to date and I have update my iOS to 5. I am able to connect to the store via my iPhone and update there but do not understand why I can't view the updates on my Mac.

  • I can't update iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite.

    When I attempt to update iPhoto I get the message, "Unable to update with this Apple ID"  "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
    I did not purchase iPhoto via the App Store, it was installed on my iMac when I purchased it.  How can I get iPHoot working again?

    This error message will appear erraneously, if you skipped the update to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1 and went straight from an earlier MacS X version to Yosemite, without first updating to iPhoto 9,5.1 and associating it to your AppleID.
    Try first to buy iPhoto with your AppleID, as Kappy suggested. Delete iPhoto from Applications, but don't empty the Trash, then go to the main page of the App Store and search for iPhoto. If you are lucky, it will show as free and you can buy it directly.
    If it is not showing as free, there is no help but contacting the App Store Support: Ask for a redemption code. You will need to provide a prove of purchase for your mac with iPhoto preinstalled.

  • How do I update GarageBand after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.1

    I have GarageBand on my MacBook Pro but have recently upgraded to Yosemite OS X 10.10.2. I wanted to use GarageBand but rec'd a message that there is a newer version. I didn't think I should have to pay for an upgrade in the App Store. How do I update my version of GarageBand?

    Which version of GarageBand do you currently have?
    Updates are free (when the first number of the version number stays the same), but upgrades to a major new release require a purchase (when the first part of the version number changes).  So the upgrade from GarageBand '11, version 6.0.5 to GarageBand 10.0.3 is a major upgrade, that requires a purchase.
    If you decide to upgrade, do not replace your current GarageBand version, if you are currently running GarageBand 6.0.5. Keep both versions. The new GarageBand is very different from version 6.0.5 - it is more like Logic than GarageBand. It comes with nice new features like smart drummers, but but older audio units are no longer support. If you decide to upgrade your system, keep your current GarageBand as well. Both can be used in parallel and you will need the sounds and loops from the previous version to play your older projects. This forum is full of desperate questions about how to get the previous version back, because instruments are missing or podcasts no longer supported.

  • Cannot update iPhoto after upgrading to Yosemite

    I have a Macbook Pro which I upgraded to Yosemite but now I cannot access iPhoto because it says I need to upgrade. The problem is that it won't let me upgrade because it says that it was either bought by a different user (I am the only user of this computer) or the item was refunded or cancelled. None of these are applicable. What can I do?

    In that case you'll need to contact the App Store support personnel via this website:  http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/

  • Unable to update apps after converting iTunes account from UK to SG

    Hello all,
    I have contacted support ([email protected]), and after being served by countless support staff, none could really explain to me what I should/could do. All they have done after understanding my problem is to point me to "iTunes Feedback page".
    So here's the problem: I cannot seem to update my apps. This all happened when I switched stores. Previously I was using the UK iTunes store. But since I've completed my studies and returned home, I changed my billing information to a Singapore bank. Doing so converted my iTunes store account to the SG iTunes store. Clicking on the "search for updates" in the iTunes App library lists several updates available. But because I am in the SG iTunes store and my apps were previously purchased in the UK iTunes store, there is no way for me to update it.
    The strange thing is that my iPhone and iPad allows me to update any app - bought from the UK or SG store - without any problems. It is just that iTunes is rather picky about updating it. I have tried deleting a UK-purchased app and re-downloading the same app in the SG iTunes store, and two things happen. The first is that I won't get charged, since it prompts me "you have already purcahsed this item". I also notice that there is the "$0.99 Buy App" and not the usual "Download" label. The second is that despite the fact that I re-downloaded the app from the SG iTunes store, it still refuses to update it.
    I'm really getting annoyed at this. Does anyone have the same problem, if so, what did you do to resolve it?

  • IPad won't update apps after upgrading to ios8 ?

    Hello,
    I have been having touble with my apps getting updated.  This seemed to have started after I downloaded the ios 8 on my iPad.  I didn't have the problem before. I had 15 updates its now down to 8 but I have been waiting for the past 4 days for it to complete.  It keep stalling/pausing and I have to restart it.  I have tried to turn the iPad off and on.  I don't want to have to uninstall the apps and redo all of them.  Is there something wrong with my it because of the iOS 8 update?  Is there a recommendation or a resolution to solve the issue.  Thank you

  • Problem to update apps after upgrading iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1

    I have iPhone 4 and I upgraded to iOS 6.1, i cant update any apps from the appstore. the tab is blank even that i see that there are apps that need to be updated, do you know what can make this problem?

    That error means you're trying to purchase content in a country where such content is not sold by Apple, & Apple's servers have detected your location, generating that error code.
    There is no workaround.

  • Unable to update apps after Mavericks install (Unable to update w/this Apple ID)

    After updating Mavericks I cannot update the Apps. It says, "Update Unavailable with this Apple ID.  This update is not available for this Apple ID either b/c it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled".
    Neither of those reasons are accurate. Please advise.
    Thank You,

  • Unable to update apps after IOS 6

    I have 14 app pending updates since IOS 6 and NOT being able to update due to billing info update as the app store suposedly wasn't able to process a previous purchase. Now I want to update the 14 already bought apps and I can't due to this stupid message. As far as know if you don't have enough funds available you can't install or download any app. How could a previous purchase cause any problem? Any help?

    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
