Click here and follow the instructions. If you can't accept them into your Apple ID and the order wasn't customized with paid preloaded applications, delete and redownload them.
GarageBand, iMovie, Keynote, Numbers, and Pages can be redownloaded for free. If you encounter this issue with other applications, such as Final Cut Pro, don't delete them.

If the applications that need updating are Apple applications that came with the computer, try going to the App Store Purchases tab or click on your profile and then go to Purchases to see if there is an option to accept the applications with your Apple ID. If that doesn't work, you can delete the applications and download them with your Apple ID. The applications are free. You may have to sign out of the App Store, restart the computer, and sign back in to download new copies.
