Why can't I get App Store updates?

I have been given my Auntie's Mac to use and I can't get the updates in the App Store because I can't log in. Why?

H Amy ...
You will need to use the same Apple ID and password that was used for the original purchases, (even free apps).
Otherwise, create your own Apple ID and purchase your own.
From the App Store menu bar click Store > Sign In > Create Apple ID

    Why can't I get apps from other country apple store?

    That statement is false. Copied directly from the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:
    "The iTunes Service is available to you only in( Insert country name here). You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance."
    You need to be physically located in the country, its territories or possessions whose store you are trying to use.

    About AirPlay and Airplay Mirroring
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). For non-qualifying Macs you can try using Air Parrot.

  • Why can't I access app store on macbook pro?

    I recently re-installed Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro, and now when I click software update, I am being told I can't access the App Store because I don't have an Internet connection.  How can I fix this?

    Hi russraman,
    I've been having that issue off and on lately, but I'm certain it's my cable provider and not my Mac. You probably see the Wifi indicator with an "!" in the middle of it? It means that the Wifi was able to get onto the network, but not to make an internet connection because of a bad IP address.
    So, to resolve my issue, I have to reboot my router. Give that a try to see if it clears it up for you.
    Cheers,

  • Why can't I get app updates

    When I click on "Check for updates" nothing happens. This started with the most recent upgrade. It never happened before even when there was no update available.

  • Why can't I find App Store or iTunes on my iPad Air anymore?

    I got this iPad Air as a late Christmas present this past Christmas. Up until this point, it's worked very well, but now nothing to do with the App Store can be found. Siri cannot see any app named AppStore or iTunes, the search cannot find anything to do with it on the iPad, and it cannot be found scrolling through All the apps either.
    What do I do To fix this? sorry but my mom let my little brother cover this iPad in stickers, and all basic info is covered for now other then this is a iPad Air

    It looks like its had 11.7 GB usable, with just 1.1 available. I don't know about the processor, but I suspect is clocked slow by factory for battery since my iPhone is far faster in all equal areas but battery on this lasts far longer then the iPad 2 and iPhone 4s

  • Why can,t i get in store from my computer

    having problems getting into store from my computer

    I think the download limit for the iPad is 20mb.
    You don't say what you've bought but if it's over that you'll have to use iTunes on your computer and transfer it that way.

  • Why can't I get the new update

  • Why can I not get the most updated version of a web page? I have cleared cookies and history.

    I am trying to access our soccer club website and was informed by the club president that the website was updated, however, when I try to open it, I get the old version with last year's information. I have cleared cookies and history. Any ideas?

    Have you tried a different web browser, if you have one, to see if the site loads correctly?
    You could choose to run Safari, Firefox, SeaMonkey, or maybe another (avoid chrome)
    and have a few options in how some pages load, or be able to choose if some sites
    prefer a different browser. My macs all have at least three browsers. Some are dedicated.
    PS: did they confirm the site is still using the same URL web address?
    Hopefully you can get the sites you need to visit, to work.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I cancel an app store update on my iPad?

    Ok so I have 2 problems really; I've been playing Real Racing 3 for awhile, and an update came out recently. I checked to make sure I had enough space, which I did, and attempted to update.  It waited a few seconds, then told me I didn't have enough storage space, which I know I do (update is approximately 840mb, I have 1.6gb of free space). But my most pressing problem is that apparently, once this update is installed the app doesn't work according to reviews.  I would very much like real racing to work, so I'm hoping to cancel the update but no matter what I do it won't work. Is it possible to cancel an update?

    What should I do then? I can't even update it if I wanted to.

  • Why can't I get apps on my iPod touch

    Need help

    Need more information.
    What have you tried doing so far?
    Are the Apps in your iTunes Library?
    Have you Synced your ipod with your iTunes library?
    Is this all Apps, or just some of them?
    Are the Apps compatible with your iPod? (Is your iOS version at least as high as the iOS needed for the App?)
    Is your iTunes/iPod set to Sync the Apps? (With the iPod connected to iTunes, look on the Device/Apps and check the Sync options.)
    If the answer to any of the questions is "no", or you don't understand a question, please tell us which one(s).

  • Remove the App Store update Badge notifications

    How can I remove the App Store update Badge notifications?

    you CAN delete them it has to do with metadata!!  google metadata  removal of notifications and there will be plenty of explanations, Also look it up on youtube, I just finished watching a video on it!!  there are always ways to remove things on any operating system, Just some are easier than others.  if you don't know or only have wrong info to give  then just keep your trap shut!!!! obviously there is a way to go around everything, Hackers have taught sony and the government all about this! (common sense)  so if you don't know move along!!  obviously I'm not advocating hacking, What I am advocating is people in chat rooms judging others or giving misleading info just to mess with others. You don't have anything more important to do than to  try and misguide an innocent until proven guilty user with a question?   Just because they don't want to update an app doesn't mean they are "doing something illegal:"  many apps with updates lose features and  actually makes an app that we use to enjoy very much, now not so great!!   you all know I'm right because anyone with a smartphone has been through this, Do i update or not?  we've all had that question. and as far as apple is concerned,  had everyone "updated" there software last year when they rolled out the new what i like to call SECURITY BREACH update  a lot more than the millions that were already exposed would be  ****** off too!!  Software update for the most part is a good thing, they fix bugs and allow our machines to run smoother, but don't for one moment think that the software updates are without flaws and certainly don't think they "the apps companies" have your best interest in mind!!
