Updating an App purchased directly (not through AppStore)
Many years ago, I purchased Apple Remote Desktop from Apple. I paid for some upgrades, and got some via the software update mechanism. The current version on my machine is 3.7.2, installed in March, 2014, and it seems to work fine, at least for the purposes for which I use it.
However, the newer App Store based version of software update keeps telling me that there is an update available, and identifies the program as Apple Remote Desktop, and then tells me that the new version is 3.7.2 (which is what I have now). When I attempt to install this "update," I get a message that this is not possible -- not for the reason you might think (it's already installed), but rather
"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 think this has something to do with the fact that the software was not originally purchased through the App Store, but is there any way to correct this situation, so that (a) it will stop telling me regularly about this update that it wants (but refuses) to install, and (b) real updates will be available in the future?

Why do I get a "can't import spreadsheet because it was created with an unsupported application version" alert when the updated version was purchased direct from the Mac App Store? The spreadsheet is now lost somewhere!
Pages 4.3 should still be in an iWorks folder within your Applications folder.

My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!
The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

I had submitted my app to apple for approval. My app got rejected as
PayPal has been used as payment method. in-app purchase method was
suggested by apple. My app charges yearly subscription from users. In-App
purchase does not support this type of payment process ( or, I could not
get to it).
Please allow me to use paypal or guide me on how can I charge yearly
subscription from users using in-app purchase payment method.You're not talking to anybody from Apple here.
We're all just users like you.
But I can tell you without reservation that PayPal cannot be used in an iOS app. -
