App Store

I see some new updates in my app store but when I click on them, I see the following: This Apple ID has not yet been used with the App Store. Please review your account settings.


What should I do in order to make updates from my Apple ID and not from my friend's one.


Thank you in advance!

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.12

Were the apps downloaded using your friend's Apple ID? A request for another Apple ID password is often caused by updates to apps/purchases that were made when using the other ID. Those purchases are tied to the other ID and can't be transferred. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.
