Q: To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it.

Some of my apps have available updates but this is the response I get when I try to update: "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." I am bewildered since I only have one account that I am already signed into. How do I get the apps to update? What account is the app store talking about?

Mac Mini, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

    jesture 's solution worked for me.  I am still running 10.6.8.  Other solutions don't apply.


    Close App Store then open Terminal and type "sudo mdutil -a -i on" without quotes press enter type your computers password if needed for permission, then close Terminal.

     

    Wait for your computer to finish indexing, you can watch its progress by clicking Spotlight in the top right corner of your Mac (The Magnify Glass).

     

    Reopen the App Store and make sure you're signed in and the update tab should have a number by it with your optional updates.
