Updating apps that were installed before purchase?

I am trying to download the app updates that are indicated but it states that I have to download from the site where I purchased the apps.  The issue is that the apps were already loaded when I purchased my mac.  How do I fix this?

Sorry but wrong category, should be Mac Pro.

    Try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot.

  • How can I update apps that were installed using another Apple ID

    I have an ipad that was set up by my school. I use my own apple ID however it came preinstalled with Pages, Keynote and Numbers. However according to my app store these apps need to be updated. I press update and insted of asking me for MY apple ID, it asks for the schools.
    Is there a way of updating this app with out needing to schools apple ID password. The guy that created it has since left and no-one knows what he set the password to.
    Thanks

    Delete and redownload them.

  • Updating apps that were purchased with an old account

    How do I update apps that were purchased under prior email account? I no longer have this email address but the app updates keep prompting me for it.

    Apps are forever tied to the account used to download them.  That means they will always require it to update. The fact the email is no longer functional has nothing to do with this.
    If you still have the password for the Apple ID (not the email account) you can still use it.  You can also go to appleid.apple.com and update the email address for the Apple ID there to a functioning one so the Apple ID remains useable.

  • How can I deactivate Adobe apps that were installed on a computer that is no longer available?

    How can I deactivate Adobe apps that were installed on a computer that is no longer available? I have a Creative Cloud membership, and I want to deactivate a device that is no longer available. I would have thought that there would be an option to deactivate all devices somewhere in My Account, but I can't find it.

    Hi acornies,
    There is no such option readily available under which you are able to deactivate the product on all the devices . As per the EULA , you are able to install the product on two machines only and once you try to have the product installed on a third machine that would provide you with an error message and an option to deactivate the products on all the previous installation .
    So , if the machine that you would be installing the product onto is going to be your third machine , you will be getting an error message that you have reached your activation limit and there would be a button to click on continue to deactivate all the prev installation .
    Please let me know if this works for you .

  • HT2534 If I change my kids apple id will they still be able to update apps that have already been purchased

    If I change my kids apple id will they still be able to update apps that have been previously purchased with a different apple id?

    Yes as long as they are signed into that Apple ID. Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them. But it is never a good idea to change an Apple ID. If you get a new email address and change the name that you use for the Apple ID, that's something different, but creating a totally new ID is not advisable.
    You will always have to be signing in and out of the two ID's on the iPad and when you sign into another ID and download content with that ID, you lock yourself out of the other ID for 90 days.

  • How to update apps that were purchased by an apple ID that's no longer in use?

    My son purchased apps for my iPad and has since changed his Apple ID. The apps won't update because they need me to input his old password for his old ID which is now no longer in use.....how do I fix this? 
    He's away at college & I am trying to fix this myself. Thanks so much!

    I am afraid all apps are tied to the Apple Id that they are purchased with.
    You need the old password.

  • Can't update apps that were set up under a different email address that was closed some time ago.

    The specific APPS at this time are Pages, Keynote and numbers but I would be suprised if others will have this problem in the future.  And I can't update them on the new Apple ID.   And when I supidly did the forgot my password thing with the old system they probally sent the message to an email address that no longer exists.  If anyone could help it would be appsheated.

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
    Apple ID security issues -
    Call Apple Care and ask for the Account Security Team. They can assist you with your issue.

    This wonderful update wouldn't effect any of this if you backed-up properly to iCloud or restored after the update. I didn't lose anything in my update.

  • I changed my apple id, and now I can't update my apps that were purchased/downloaded from my old apple id....HELP!!

    I am getting frustrated because I can't update my apps that were downloaded under the old apple id.  Any thoughts on how to fix this?  I have already tried signing back in under my old apple id and it says that that id is no longer in use.

    Applications are connected to the Apple ID that they were purchased/downloaded with. If you updated your ID, you should be able still sign in with that ID, if you are logged into that ID on the phone. However, if you created a new Apple ID, then you would not be able to use that ID to update the apps.

  • HT1386 Hello, When trying to sync, I get the following message.  This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone "Terri George's iPhone". Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?

    while trying to sync with my iphone I recieve the message: This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPhone “Terri George’s iPhone”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?  When I put in my password and hit authorize, I get a message telling me there was an unknown error (-50).  Would love to sync today.  Any help would be appreciated.

    The -50 error is documented in this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Here is a synopsis:
    Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
    These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.

  • Has anyone noticed apps that they didn't purchase in the update section under the "not on this phone" tab?

    As I update my apps in 4S and go to the purchased section that is in iCloud but not on the phone, I'm noticing apps that I didn't purchase in the first place. Has anyone else noticed this?

    That is weird. I can't figure out why [http://maps.bing.com Bing Maps] won't hold a thumbnail but I do know why iCloud.com can't. It's because Firefox doesn't save thumbnails for sites that have https:// addresses. HTTPS is used by sites for security reasons. And last year there was a issue w/ Firefox saving thumbnails of HTTPS web pages, that when these thumbnails were enlarged or zoomed in, you could see privacy sensitive details like banking info, etc. This was b/c Firefox took random thumbnail screenshots anytime during the https:// site visits instead of just saving a thumbnail of only the very 1st visit to the https:// page and then taking no more thumbnails for that site.
    But my idea above maybe not be fool-proof either. B/c if you have already saved your password and username for the https:// site to auto-login, then the very 1st page for the https:// site could contain sensitive personal info and get included in the thumbnail.
    So I believe they are working on a solution to fix this problem.
    Could you list the other 6 of the 9 sites you mentioned don't save thumbnails so someone else can test them?

  • I have yet  to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

    I have yet  to update my iPhone 4 to the latest iOS software. How do I save photos to my iCloud photo stream that were taken before I activated my iCloud account and photo stream ?

    You have a couple of options:
    Open the photos one at a time and take a screenshot.  This will add a new low resolution copy of the photo to the camera roll, which will then upload to your photo stream;
    Email the photos a few at a time to yourself, then save the attached photos to your camera roll.  This will add a copy of the photo at full resolution to your camera roll and upload to photo stream;
    Use an app like PhotoSync, which will allow you to wirelessly transfer copies of all your old photos to your computer all at once.  Then delete these photos from your camera roll and use PhotoSync to transfer them back from your computer to your camera roll.  These will be the original resolution and will upload to your photo stream.  (You need an app like this because iTunes will not transfer photos back to your camera roll, where they must be in order to add to your photo stream.)
