App Store :: Update Apps After Changing Apple Id Password?
Jun 22, 2012
How can I update apps after changing my Apple ID password? I was just required to change my Apple ID password and now I am not able to download updates to apps I already have installed.
I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10 and only now am I having issues with updating iPhoto and iMovie. A family member set up my computer years ago but I prefer to update with my own ID incase there are ever costs involved, so it goes to my account.
Is there a way I can update with my own account or do I need to re-download the app? But then would I lose my photos? I can't open iPhoto at all and it's getting frustrating as I need to access them NOW!
Error "The file “DMAccount.h” couldn’t be saved in the folder “Headers”" after 10.7.3 update. While app update download starts normaly the error msg pops up every time right at the end of download process and it starts all over (dnld-error-dnld-error... ("Try again", she asks me)).
I've given my daughter my old itouch and have created an apple id for her with funds so she can download and update her own apps. In the settings, her apple id is correct, but when she tries to update/ download apps, the prompt is my apple id (i guess because it used to be mine) and we cannot find out how to stop it automatically prompting for my id and replace it with a prompt for her id. We sync all our music up to the same mac.
I want to password proptect individual apps so when children use the ipad..phone..etc.. they cannot open thm. I have control apps for the house I do not want changed. i do not want thenm on the internet, mail, photos, etc. Is there such a way?
Ok we all love apps but every single day, I'm faced with updating at least two of my apps when I turn on my phone, then same thing all over again on my IPad , ohALANd wait there are 6 more on my desktop..can they not just automatically update and sync across all devices?
since updating to the new security requirements I cannot update my existing apps...i receive the cannot connect to the iTunes store note. However, I can use the store app to search,select, connect to the store and download new apps.
I've had this problem ever since upgrading to Lion quite awhile ago. Each update of Lion promises to fix various bugs, but this one just won't go away. Why is it that applications I've just updated (and which show in Finder as the current version) continue to show as needing updates in App Store. It doesn't matter what I do, delete caches, deleting plists, etc, every time I go to the App Store to check on NEW updates, it continues to show me the ones I've already updated, and it becomes my task to sort through the list looking for those updated since the last time I checked The only way I can tell is by update date. If the date is "today", then I know I haven't got the update.

When I switched to ICloud I thought my Apple ID and password would work for Apple store. It turns out they have a different Apple ID at the Apple store with a diferent password that I do not remember. HOw can I make the ICloud Apple ID and password work for all other platforms?

When I try to update applications from the Mac App Store, I continouly get a message coming up saying an Unkown Error has occured and I should try again later (4).
I can't update my apps because I can't change my apple ID. I installed most of the apps using an old apple I'd. Do you have to update using the ID you installed the app with?
I'm unable to update the applications I've purchased through the Mac App Store. I've tried numerous workarounds (listed below), but to no avail. I've got a MacBook Pro (early 2011) running Lion 10.7.4. When I initially click either the Update or Update All (I've got multiple apps needing updates), I get error 13 after entering my Apple ID and password. I'm prompted yet again for my password for each app (why?), but then I get error 100, saying that I need to try again later.
Here's what I've tried, which have not worked for me:
* Removing Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore * Removing Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist * Clearing cache and cookies from Safari, and restarting Safari * iTunes workaround by d/l'ing a new app, then getting the T&C form doesn't apply: I don't get that form since I agreed to the latest version before this issue started. * Removing the file in Library/Cookies/ pertaining to the App Store doesn't exist for me, so wouldn't apply * Rebooting my machine * Deleting an app from my machine (only tested with a free app I don't use often), then trying to Install it; this worked back with Lion 10.7.3, but no longer works with 10.7.4.
I saw another workaround which involved creating another user on one's machine, but that seems over the top to have to get Mac App Store updates to work again. Are there any other workarounds where I could update my apps?
Running into the following problem. When I try to update some of my purchased apps, I get an error message stating that I need to sign into the account that I used to purchase the apps. I only have one Apple ID and use it to purchase apps. Now, I cannot perform any updates on these apps. I am worried that if I delete the apps and try to install them again through the Mac App Store, I will not be able to do so as I feel that the mapping between my account and the apps has been lost.

The app store has an update option next to some of my purchaced apps, but when I click update it says that they were purchased using another account. The problem is that I have only used one account on my Mac ever so it makes no sense. In the updates tab it says that all apps are up to date, but in the purchased tab it has an update option next to some of my apps. Can someone help explain this?

I have a bunch of apps that need to be updated, but without fixing this I can't.
The app store on my Mac Mini (2.7GHZ I7 running 10.7.4) tells me I have 3 apps that need to be updated. Whenever I try to update them, I get an error message that reads " We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (13). I've gone online and saw that some people were fixing the problem by erasing some kind of hidden cookie. It seems to be somwhere in /library/Cookies file but I don't have a file in my library labeled "cookies". I also saw another post where they tried to delete it in terminal, but that had no effect for me.
