Updates for unrelated and unauthorized apple ID on mac app store

Hi,
I am having a queer issue with the mac app store.
When I go to the updates tab in the mac app store I see an update for twitter app v 2.1.1.
Now the twitter app on my apple ID has already been updated to 2.1.1 (I have checked in the get info on the twitter app).
As soon as I click on update I get the dialog box of username and password, only in the username tab I see a different apple ID.
It as a gmail ID which does not belong to me and neither has such an apple ID been authorized on my mac.
I tried contacting apple email support for the mac app store twice, writing down my problem in detail. However I didn't get an acknowldegement mail both times (I checked junk mail).
Is Anyone else having a similar issue? Is this an indication of some sort of hacking?
I am running the Mac OS Snow Leapord 10.6.8
Now I'm just hoping maybe updating to Lion might solve this issue.

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the delay in replying, i have be away on vacation.
To my knowledge I have not downloaded any trial apps form other than from the app store. its a mystery. I just want to get rid of this twitter app so that i can download the safe version.

What is the full text of the message that you are getting ?
Messages about countries usually refer to the country that you have on your iTunes account. You have your correct billing address on your account, and you are in that country ? If you can't log into your account directly on your phone to view/correct your address details (e.g. via Settings > iTunes & App Store), then can you do it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com ?

My updates for iWork won't install via the Mac App Store

Hello,
I have iWork or Pages [5.5.1 (2111)], Numbers [3.5 (2109)] , and Keynote [6.5 (2110)] and I am told that there are 'updates' in the Mac App Store, but every time I click on them the download fails. No reason is ever given. I had iWork '09 on disk and have been able to upgrade this far. I currently run OS X 10.10.1.
Cheers

Hello again.
Before you start with the steps below: make a back-up of your Mac, preferably with Time Machine: Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
Please use the Finder and go > go to folder to go to this location:
/Library/Application Support/
If you see any iWork related folders here, please remove them to the trash. It's normal that you will have to provide a password before you can.
After removing these iWork folder, restart your computer and try the update again. Your update might be hindered by old iWork '09 files and directories,

I can not download the newest itunes to my imac but it will not, keep getting error message. So wanted to update to lion but unable to locate the mac app store.

looking fro help to get new version of itunes downloaded on imac that is running snow leopard and trying to update to lion but cannot find the mac app store.

App Store is an application in Applications folder on your hard disk.
But what error do you get, when trying to update iTunes? That should be possible in Snow Leopard too!

Can I install a app which is in my purchased list of another apple ID and then log out after installing of that app and then log in with my current apple ID in Mac App Store

I had upgraded to current OS X yosemite, I performed clean install and I also made a new icloud account and apple ID.
the previous apple ID have few purchased paid app like- "GarageBand"
now in my new apple ID I have to purchase it
I was wondering if I install this app by logging in with my old apple id and installing
and then log in with my new apple id.

Yes, you can sign out of the App Store, then Sign In using another Apple ID and download the apps associated with that ID, but when you get finished switching back and forth you will have a rather confused setup...updating is going to get cumbersome when you try and keep straight what software is associated with what ID. With your setup, it would just be simpler to purchase the app again so everything on your Mac matches and you don't have to try and remember what goes where.

Looking For Scan and Read Back Applications on the App Store for blind individuals?

Hi There,
Are there anything applications on the app store which for example if you were to scan a document and the user wanted it to be read back to them in text form or what ever the e.g picture had text on them can it be done or is there any application looking for asap?!!

Apps don't go in Passbook, but passes do. You can get passes via both the Starbucks and Apple Store apps. If you sign up for an account in the Starbucks app, you can create a pass and add value to it (or enter an existing Starbucks gift card number). The Apple Store app allows you to send gift cards to people, which can then be added to Passbook.

OpenDNS "game" and "movie" filters block the Mac App Stor

Where I work they are using OpenDNS and have blocked various types of sites inlcuding the categories OpenDNS calls "gaming" and "movies". When they blocked these to categories my MacBookPro was no longer able to connect to the app store and therefore I am unable to download os updates.
Could someone provide me the URL of the app store so that I can have the app store "white listed"?

Can't login, see and use my purchases on Mac App Store.

i am not able to login to my MBPro App Store with my apple id. Though my id works fine with iTunes purchases on same Mac. when i try to login to App Store, it says "Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance." any suggestions?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no improvement, continue.

I am stuck on the "Thank you for downloading Logic Pro X From the Mac App Store".

It goes through a download process, asks for my password, then says "Installing". It hangs on "Installing" for hours and never completes. I've tried rebooting in safe mode.
Nothing seems to be working.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I use a PC and had the same issue with Firefox, but IE7 worked for me, FYI....

How do I delete and old apple account on my App Store

iI've created a new apple user name and password.. How so I delete the old one?

You can't. All you can do is stop using it. Anything you have purchased using the old Apple ID is permanently connected to it and cannot be updated or re-downloaded when using the new Apple ID.

I can't find the mac app store on my imac. i am running snow leopard, and i have run "update software" several times. what's up?

I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I need to go through Mac App store to buy it. I need to get the Mac App store icon in my dock. I have run Update Software several times, trying to get the Mac App store onto my iMac, but with no luck. It doesn't show up in the dock, it doesn't show up in Finder under Applications, and it doesn't show up when I search in Searchlight for App Store, Store, Mac App Store, etc. What am I doing wrong?

I am running snow leopard
James....
You arne't necessarily doing anything wrong.
Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
That should reinstall the App Store for you.
Restart your Mac after the combo is finished installing.
You should see the App Store icon in the Dock and be able to access from your Apple menu also.
Make sure your Mac meet's Lion's requirements

Mac App Store updating apps on _other_ drive :-(

A little background first - wanted to not just jump right in in upgrading to Mountain Lion (10.8.0), so I got (same brand) external USB HD, formatted it, installed Mountain Lion on that. (With some assistance from Apple Support...) I have moved most all my apps and documents over to the (external) ML drive (500GB). Also have many apps bought through MAS and installed on the ML-500 external drive. When I want to use ML, I boot up from it; other times, I will boot up with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on the internal drive (320GB) to use a few apps where I haven't had all their docs transmogrified to 10.8-compatible apps. Most of the time now, things have been workable and fine.
In the past couple of days, I have discovered that apparently when I had logged into the MAS to update my ML-compatible apps, the MAS (unbeknown to me) updated the older (10.6.8-compatible) apps I had there, including iWork '08 (which had been updated as far as 10.6.8 updates would take them).
So now, it appears (since version numbers are the same for the Numbers, Pages and Keynote apps between the two OS drives) that I have (non-10.6.8-compatible) apps on the Snow Leopard (internal) drive, that won't run when I start up with 10.6.8. The icons on the 10.6.8 drive for Numbers, Pages, and Keynote (which were inside an iWork '08 folder, inside the Applications folder, on the internal/10.6.8 drive) have the 'not' circle and line across them when I view them running from the Mac OS X 10.6.8 (internal) drive. Haven't checked other MAS-downloaded 10.6-compatible purchased apps, so there may be more 'over-updated' apps...
I know that I have my original iWork '08 DVD (and likely, can go back through my Time Machine backups to try to find my latest versions under 10.6.8) and can re-install (and then install all the updates since then under 10.6.8) to get them back, but I would think - since OS X install discs check a drive for the system version number before installing - that MAS would be setup to FIRST check what the OS X version for a drive with Pages/Numbers/Keynote/other Apple non-system apps, before installing a version over an app (that renders it useless for that version of OS X).
Even though I can possibly (with much time/updates/re-installs) get my earlier apps back on the internal drive, my concern is - how can I stop MAS from once again 'over-updating' those apps? If the MAS can check and tell me that an app I want to download requires 10.7 or 10.8, it would seem to make equal sense for it to check first whether I have (on different drives) 10.6.8 and 10.8 versions of the same app, and ONLY update the most recent one, NOT all of them.
Makes me wonder if Apple thinks that NO ONE out here is running separate partitions or drives with different operating systems for different app needs. I am very sure that there are specfic-market applications out there that companies, laboratories and others need to get tasks done (and for which there is not yet so far a Lion or Mountain Lion-compatible version), so those people/companies/etc. are likely running different OS partitions or startup drives. So WHY does the MAS not check first? Or more importantly, is there some way to stop/limit the updates so ONLY one drive gets updated?

Hello Dahveed, thank you for your answer but this is not good at all. These are not core applications. For instance i want all my games to be on external Hard drive (for instance X3 is about 8 Gb). For having my home folder on external HD this is not good at all too.
Why i should change my way to work and manage my files just for a logical problem ?
Furthermore, the Mac App Store app detects i have the application already installed even if it is on external HD, so there are only 2 solutions : there is a bug into the mac app store application for managing apps OR this is pretty bad for users to have the apps sequestrated into the home folder.
You can see even iTunes with the music rights management system is able to let you have musics managed by user.
Do you have another solution ?
Thank you
