Why is my updates tab showing an update for a game that i have never bought?

also, why does it show a random apple id that surely isn't mine?
added a screenshot, maybe that can help.

I have this same issue. Nobody else has been on this computer. I tried the following link and am waiting for spotlight to re-index everything.

Whats interesting is why [email protected]'s username? I am speculating it is some sort of virus, possibly from some other app I may have downloaded directly from some developers website ...
Anyone else experince this and have a better understanding of whats going on?

App Store want me to update a game that I have never installed

App Store is telling me to update a game (Fantastic 4 in a row.....) that I have ever never bought and/or installed. How do I get rid of this notification?

No - but my fault. I was logged in at App Store with another appleid.

TS1702 there is an app in my updates that i have never purchased

i have an iphone 5 and when i open my appstore there is an update for an app that i have never purchased. when i update all, a message say i have never owned a version of this app and do i want to buy it before the update. how can i get rid of this. it drives me nuts.

OK I get you. You are saying that in the app store there is a mention of an update for an app that you do not recognise. All I can think of is this. The apps that you might download are apple ID specific. So on my computer when I log in with my apple id in itunes and view apps that might be available for upgrade ther might be say 8 of them. When I am logged in with my ID and I update the apps there might be 5 apps that update and three remain. Those apps are probably not mine because they are not on my phone and I dont recognise them. If I log out of my apple id in the app store and log in with my wife's apple ID it might show that those three apps are available for her to update becaus ethey are associated with her ID. Once they are updated using her ID, if I then log out and log back in with my ID chances are it will show that there are no apps to update.
My guess is someone else has used your computer and has downloaded apps from the app store with a different id from yours and that appis probably the one you mentioned.
Does all that make sense?

Purchased tab shows 1 update available but can't update it.

Purchased tab shows 1 update available, but I can't find what book. I keep getting popup that it can't download the update. Why did the updates tab disappear in ios8?
FIrst it showed 2 updates, but I kept getting a popup that it couldn't download the update. So I had to search in my list of books which books had updates. I just deleted all the books that had an update message. It kept showing 2 updates available, until I deleted every book I could find that had an update. But now it keeps showing a 1, and I can't find the corresponding book, and I keep getting a popup that it can't download it, even when ibooks is closed.
WHy did they delete the updates tab?

What is the exact message you're getting? I guarantee it's not "the iPhone needs iTunes".

Is there a way to remove installed updates from the App Store update window? I keep getting an alert that I have an update for Apple Remote Desktop. It says its installed, but the alert and the app keep showing up. Annoying!!

If re-indexing the spotlight doesn't fix it,we can try a few other tricks.

I have the same problem. One minute everything was okay, the next minute all my addons were disabled.

I can reenable them but FF will disable them on the next startup. I uninstalled version 13 and installed version 12. Problem gone! So I'm still using version 12 and am afraid to update to version 13.
This problem began when I was trying to research and fix a problem (no history all-of-a-sudden) so it probably was something I caused. Can't recall everything I did though.
So: Does the addon problem I described have a solution? If so, I'll update my version 12 to version 13. Please respond.....

Why won't my tabs & windows reopen as they should, even tho I have it set for them to do so?

Why won't my tabs & windows reopen as they should, even tho I have it set for them to do so?
"Firefox can be configured to restore all windows and tabs that were open when the application is closed or terminated unexpectedly. This article describes the circumstances under which your session is restored and how you can configure it."
I have it set up, in "Tools", "Options", etc., for my windows and tabs to reopen & be restored to the webpages that they were previously at before I, for one reason or another, restarted my computer! But, after I restart my computer and the Firefox browser, it always goes to my homepage; the windows & tabs NEVER restart as they should!
It wasn't always like this. It has only been within the last few weeks that this has become a constant and consistent problem. I assume that a Firefox update somehow disabled something & that's why it isn't working properly but, whatever...
How do I fix this so that my windows & tabs reopen as they should!?

Have you checked to make sure that under>> Options >> General >> That the startup behavior is appropriately? I had the same problem after upgrading and setting my homepage. It should be set to "show my windows and tabs from last time".
Just re-read your post. sounds like you've tried this already.

Apps can only be updated using the same Apple ID and password they were originally purchased with.

Hello, my email is connected to Lotus Notes. When I updated my iPad to iOS 6, it REQUIRED that I have a password for the iPad or else my email wouldn't work or synchronize with Lotus Notes (on my work laptop). This is really frustrating, please help.

This is really frustrating, because I cannot disable the password under General<Passcode. Thanks!

This would almost certainly be a setting that is being enforced by your company. You'll need to talk to them about this.

Hi,
Your best bet at this point then is to contact iTunes Support and get them to straighten this out for you:
https://expresslane.apple.com/Issues.action
Select the options that best apply to your issue. You will have a chance to provide a written description before you submit. iTunes Support will get back to you via email, usually within 24 hours. Be sure to check your Junk/Spam email folder if you don't hear back by then.
They should be able to sort it out for you...
Good luck!
Cheers,

I need to know why songs in my library show and ICLOUD status of "waiting" and I can never play them.

I need to know why songs in my library show and ICLOUD status of "waiting" and I can never play them.

The same thing happened to me.
1. You will need to know the location of your iTunes library for later, the default is under music under your username. If its not there find it and remember where it is for later.
2. Then you have to exit iTunes and create a new empty library. To do this hold the option key when you open iTunes. Choose create Library on the pop up dialogue. Create the library anywhere on your system, you can delete the entire library once you have completed your iCloud changes.
3. When the library opens in iTunes it will be empty. Click on iTunes Match and click the start button. after it finishes all of the songs on your iCloud match account will be listed under music.
4. you can select up to 1000 at a time and delete them.
5. when you have deleted everything close iTunes and open again holding the option key and navigate to your original library, usually in the music folder under your username. You should be all set and can click iTunes match again and your account will be populated with the ones in your current library.
6. You can navigate to the temp library you created in finder and delete it as it is no longer needed.
Good luck, I hope this helps.
