When updating software in app store automatically uses my partners apple ID

Hi,
Using a mini-Mac which has always been personalised to my apple ID, my girlfriend has a macbook air and iPhone. Somehow when I want to install software update it populates the apple ID with my girlfirends username, not mine?! The system appears to have my ID logged in and iTunes is using mine....it won't let m change it either.

Launch the App store application. On the right side of the Panel, you will find 'Quick Links.' The first line will read either 'Welcom xxxxx' or 'Sign In' Select that and Sign in to the correct App Store account.
You will now have to verify that the Software has been bought for your account or not. If not, you have to 'repurchase,' if you are not in a 'Family Share'. If you are in a 'Family Share' it will provide the option under 'Purchased' to update software from your 'Family'
Have fun

Updates in the App-store are using the wrong apple-id.

Hi
My daughter has an Ipod touch.
At first we used the apple-id of my office.
But now we use our own. The apple-id of the office is deleted. That emailadress is not valid anymore.
Now is it possible to download new apps. Even iOS6 is downloaded perfectly.
But updating is another issue.
It keeps asking for the deleted apple-id.
What way can I reset this?
Thank you.

In order to update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased them. Apps are permanently locked to the account that purchased them. If there are apps that need updating yo have to update then one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Some programs do not run: update software, mac App Store, Calendar, ibooks.V the same time, the program iTunes, iPhoto and other work normally. What to do?

Hello JohnnyChin95,
You absolutely can just reinstall OS X Mavericks without having to erase and install. The steps to do that are almost the same as the only thing you do differently is that you do not go to Disk Utility to erase the drive. Just go to the Reinstall OS X option and pick your Hard Drive and follow the on screen instructions to get it going. Check out the article below for the step by step process.

Trouble updating software from app store

I am getting an error message (error 100) every tie I try to update my software updates from the app store. What is the problem and what do I need to do?

Many folks are getting these errors. Tel Apple and perhaps they will fix it.

Updating software via App Store

When I try to update software through the App Store application it automatically populates the Apple ID with a previous owner for my computer. It will not allow me to enter in my apple ID. How do I remove the previous owner's information from my computer?

You'll need to use the Recovery system and use Disk Uitlity found on the start screen of the Recovery system, Mac OS X Utilities screen, to repartition the drive as one partition and then reinstall Mac OS X clean and fresh.
Whatever apps are now on that system aren't yours. They are the previous owners and can't be transferred to you.

Can't update software through app store, since Feb. Says no updates available. Error says server with specified hostname not available.

Can't update any software or apps through appstore. Updated Itunes after several months by download, install. Using my own Macbook on my network, never had this problem. Re-installed Mountain Lion. Removed file softwareupdate.plist from Library preferences. Repaired disks and permissions. Any ideas? seems like a small issue, but this is pretty serious going forward.

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
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.

HT203128 My ipad requests for apple id and signature of a different person, not mine, when updating in the apps store

Change id in the apps store to update apps

Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.
Either use the ID & passcode used to download the app when
updating the app, or delete the app and redownload using your
AppleID. If the app in question is not free, you will have to pay
for it again under your AppleID.

Sandbox error when updating motion in app store

Not sure why but it would download and then the install would error out and I would get a cryptic "sandbox" error. Strange. Never had that happen and why with an Apple product. I did have to do a system restore last night as the Thunderbolt update made my machine unbootable. Apple may be in a bit of hurry on some of what they're doing.

Apple id Usename I've changed my Appleid username online but when updating an iphone app it still uses my old username

I've changed my online username, but when I update an app, the appleid sign is using my old username.

Because those apps are tied to your old apple id, since you purchase it with that id.

HT4623 when updating from the app store the games froze, how do i unfreeze

I updated the icons from the app store and everything froze. How to unfreeze.

Two ways.
1. Connect iPhone to computer iTunes and do a sync after you have selected the app on iTunes.
Read here: http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iph3c796484
2. Directly using iPhone App Store > Updates > Purchased > tap the App to download

Just registered a brand new iPod Touch for my daughter (created new user name and password) but when she went to App Store and typed in aforementioned Apple ID and password it tells us these are incorrect when I know they are correct. What's up?

The title says it all.
Please help.

- Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign back in
- Reset the password and try again. After resetting the PW sing out and sign back in

Why I can not download and update software from App store?

When I want to install some software, only display"please wait",I cannot download and update anyone! Please,help me!!!!

Hi maplefox, it would be a great help to the communities if you were to include:
1: the equipment you're using and any software you're currently running
2; a brief synopsis of what apps or software you're trying to download.
At the bottom of any community members' replies it will have a brief list of the equipment they have and whatever software they're running.
Could you please be more concise with the details of what you are trying to do, and we are more than happy to help. Even more experienced members have problems from time to time.
It would also help if you could take a screenshot to illustrate what you are experiencing.
To do that, if you are using a keyboard, press 'Command', 'shift' and '4'. A 'crosshair' looking like a gunsight will appear on your screen. With your mouse, or trackpad, finger depressed, move the crosshair to the onscreen image, move the crosshair across (from the top left corner) and drag down (to the bottom right corner) until you've covered the area you want to show and just release your finger. the screen shot will appear on your screen. To show it as part of your query page, click on the camera icon and a window will appear asking you to choose an image or file. Click on the screen shot, and then click on 'Insert. Job done.

Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store. I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are. My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade. Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution. Here are the steps to take:
1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left. If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase. You know what to do.
3. There is also an option to reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy. Select "Remove All Website Data." Just do it.
5. Launch the app store and sign in.
6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
I hope this helps. Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.

I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks

Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.
