Why does iphone 5C app updates show wrong login name?

When I go to the app store to update apps, a name I've never seen before comes up as the login. It's disturbing. Is this a security risk?

You've got an app that is owned by another ID. If this was warez, then yeah there would be a security risk there.
What's the app and what's the Apple ID?

  • Mail.app Is Showing Wrong "From" Name

    I'm having a heck of a time with Mail.app.
    The latest bug is that in the list of incoming mail, it occasionally shows the wrong From name. When I open it up, it shows the correct name.
    Any ideas?
    And I still can't get it to send mail from the proper email address. I has one it likes, and will not deviate.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    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. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
              Envelope Index
              ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Cannot download PS CC. Why does Creative Cloud apps tab show as blank when trying to download PS?

    I have a brand new Mac OS X Version 10.9.2
    I am trying to download a trial of Photoshop but the download never starts. The Cloud app pops up on the top right of my screen but the apps tab just shows a rotating circle. I was able to download Lightroom with no problem but Photoshop won't download. Any idea what I can do?

    Hi Ashtinafayelou,
    Please follow the below steps
    Close the Creative Cloud application if it's running.
        Navigate to the below location
        /User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
        Rename the opm.db file to opm_old.db
        Launch Creative Cloud and check if the issue persists.
    Thank you for posting on Adobe Forums.

  • Why does my usb flash drive show wrong info?

    Hi all, I hope this is a simple question to ask but I have a 1 G flsh drive that I have pretty much filled up with files to transfer to my PC. I have it formatted to FAT32 . I recently erased some files I didn't really need to free up space but when I go to "GET inFO" it still shows as only 4.9mb available even though, by my calculation I deleted about 200mb worth of files to free up space......what gives??

    Did you empty the trash after you deleted the files. They may still be there unless you did this. You can use what size to see what all is really there.

  • I cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4.. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    i cannot install apps that are upgraded to ios4. im using iphone 2g 3.1.3 this makes me sad.. why does apple need to updates many apps when we cannot update an iphone 2g anymore..

    I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
    I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
    So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
    Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help

  • Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

    Why does my iPad settings,about show I have photos when my photo app says I have none?

    After the most recent iOS update there is a problem with phantom photos.
    Perhaps you have phantom photos, that are invisible in the Recently Deleted album and thus cannot be deleted. Then resetting the date will help.  Changing the date makes the invisible photos in "Recently deleted" visible again:

    Re: More photos in settings than photos app showsin response to morganfaith6 | This helped me
    I managed to get rid of the phantom usage. Restoring iPhone and resetting the phone settings/data do not work for me.
    I had to move the Date on my phone earlier by 1,2,3 months and found the phantom photos in the Recently Deleted Folder. Next, I deleted the photos manually from the Recently Deleted Folder and the usage got freed up from my iPhone.

  • Why does apple stop giving updates? To phones like iphone 4?

    Apple haven't stopped giving updates to the iPhone 4. The fact that an update has just been released only for the iPhone 5 does not imply this.

    iPhone 4 app store shows incorrect apple id when I attempt to download updates.  I can log into iTunes ok as it shows the correct ID.  How to I change the ID in the ID/password dialog box.

    Sorry, but didn't see anything there that would help me precisely. Thanks for your input.  my apple ID is my email address which ends in .net.  My apple ID listed on the app update ends in .com.  I've confirmed in the settings/store area and it's correct there.  I'm still at a loss.

  • Does icloud support app updates?

    Got an app called Thumb on my iPod.
    Logged into iTunes and downloaded the app via desktop pc
    Went to the app store on my iPod touch 4th generation and it still says the SAME thumb update is available to download.
    Have I done something wrong? Does iCloud support app updates?

    or do i need to connect to computer and iTunes ?
    Just tap the App Store icon your iPhone then tap Updates at the bottom of the screen. No need to sync using iTunes now that you have iCloud enabled.

  • Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

    Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

    Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com.  You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
    No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said.

  • Why does the Mail.app CC: field puts me first on the CC: list although I was not ?

    Why does the Mail.app CC: field always rearranges the list so I am first on the CC: list although the sender intentionally did not ?
    I did not see how and where to de-activate this unnecessary intrusion in the company's communication codes.
    iOS on my iphone, correctly leaves my name where it is in the CC: list.

    Hi starbux48,
    Yahoo! partnered with Apple to allow an IMAP style offering on the iPhone, free of charge for their users. However that feature is only available if you use the iPhone. If you want IMAP/POP access on computers then you'd need to upgrade to the Plus level account.

  • Why does one of my MacBooks show up as an IP address on Airport Utility

    Hi-- This seems tangentially related to a previous query --- or at least it came up as a result of a previous query, but I thought I'd offer the query in a new discussion topic: 
    In setting up my Airport Extreme (coupled with Express) network, my printer, and the rest of it, I open the Airport Utility and I'm given the run down (i.e. schematic) of the network with the icons (i.e globe for internet connection) and the two Airports (extreme and express) that constitute my network.  And when I clicks either of the two icons for the Airport Extreme and Airport Express, there are little windows that pop up to show the devices connected to each Airport device.
    All the devices isplayed as connected have names (like Joe's-Ipad or Jane's-iphone or Joe-Blows-MacBook-Pro.local) except for one which just has the IP address 10.0.1.8 and that device is one of my MacBook Pro laptops.
    Why does it display the number rather than the name of the device?  I've installed the relevant OS like I have on all other devices, and I've named that device within the OS.  Further, when the "numbered" device (i.e. Macbook Pro) is connected via Firewire to another Macbook Pro, it will show the device name of the one in quesiton, but in Airport Utility it just gives me an IP address. 
    Why is this?  Not a pressing matter, but I am curious.  Also, why isn't the printer shown in my network via Airport Utility?  Or is it?  I have one other IP address for a device I haven't been able to identify (10.0.1.6) but I thought it might be another iPhone which is connected to my wifi.
    Hopefully, I've present my query in a coherent way.
    Thanks for your thoughts on this.

    Hey there, mine is now working!
    I'm afraid I dont have an absolute solution for you though.  I had the account setup on several devices with no luck then someone else removed and re added the account from one of the ipads. it started working straight away on that one then a few days later emails started coming through on the other devices too. 
    I have seen a few posts around that suggest you need to add and remove the account several times before it will fix itself and start working...  maybe try that.  Also, if you are going to upgrade to iOS5 it would probably be worth removing the account before you upgrade then re adding it once you have.  That way you can be sure there are no legacy cached issues causing your problems..?
    Good luck!

    There lies the possible root of the problem. Make sure you keep enough available space for the ipad to update and function properly.

  • Why does the calender do not show the right time if you want to choose 10, 11, 12 o'clock or any other time with 1x:00?

    Why does the calender do not show the right time if you want to choose 10, 11, 12 o'clock or any other time with 1x:00? It only shows 1:00 and there is no way to change the time to 1x:00.

    Ok well you need to get your facts straight. You say the reason to upgrade to OS 4 but half of these have to do with the new iPhone 4 and not the OS. Two totally different issues
