New Macbook - standard apps won't update b/c refunded or purchased with diff apple ID. I have a brand new Macbook Pro. I have had it about 3 weeks and I set it up with my one and only apple ID and I've never signed in with a different Apple ID; however, I have 4 apps that need to update (all basic apps that came on the macbook- garage band, keynote, etc.) and I'm getting the "cannot be updated because it was refunded or purchased with a different Apple ID." message.

Cant update apps I recently just bought a MacBook Air, I have 4 apps that needs to be updated on my Mac and when trying to update them it says "Cannot be updated because it was refunded or purchased with a different Apple ID".

Click here and follow the instructions. If you can't accept them into your Apple ID and didn't customize your order with paid preloaded applications, delete and redownload them.
