The Apple Store is an app that connects you to the items typically sold in the physical Apple store - hardware, add-ons, cases, charging devices, headphones, external speakers, etc. Macworld reader Arthur is trying to download updates via the Mac App Store, but is stymied, because an Apple ID associated with the previous owner of the machine appears prefilled in the Sign In. Find the perfect app. The Mac App Store makes it easy to find just the right app for you. Click the Discover tab to find in-depth stories about the best Mac apps. Or click Create to find inspiring apps to help you with filmmaking, photo editing, or graphic design. How to find, buy, and download apps.
anonyme4321,
Thank you for your prompt reply!
I read the link to the previous discussion thread that you suggested, and this is what I did that seems to have fixed my problem:
From nbar's recommendation I did:
Open Finder, from the menu bar Go.. > Go to Folder...
copy and paste the following path: ~/Library/Preferences/
Deleted the following item:
com.apple.appstore.plist
This item was not there:
com.apple.installer.plist
Then from Carolyn Samit's recommendation I did:
Open Finder, from the menu bar Go.. > Go to Folder...
copy and paste the following path: ~/Library/Caches/
Deleted the following folder:
Mac App Store Os X 10.5.8
com.apple.appstore
So actually, thank you to all three of you!
