Q: ANGRY BIRDS UPDATE FROM ****

I have an app on the mac app Store that is not associated with my email or have not installed this app in my laptop?    My mac app store says there is an update for angry birds but when I click on it it says that I my email is not associated with the account.    asdfff2011@mail.ru

I dpn't know where that app came from in my labtop since What i have is the free versions of angry birds on my iphone ....  it seems it has gotten screwup!!!!!

 

I email apple supprt and they instructed me this:

"Open Finder. >Open the Applications menu on the left hand side.

Under the Applications menu scroll down and open Utilities.

Click on Terminal.

Enter this code in Terminal: mdfind kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt =1

Once the command has been run, go to your Application folder then delete the apps on the list in Terminal.

Please empty the Trash, then relaunch the Mac App Store"

 

Did it as advised ….But the funny part is that Angry Birds was not on the list…..  doing a search on the spotlight, I found an Item (Angry Birds 1.4.0.ipa) but that is not a mac application but an Iphone ap….    Very strange>>>>>>>>>>

 

My question is :   Isn’t there a directory of receipts where this updates are stored?  How do I get angry birds update from my account?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7), 2011

    The problem I have with this thread is that I have NOT downloaded any pirated apps. In fact I have had this problem since day one of owning my mac mini. I put it together, turned it on, ran all of the updates and there it was staring me in the face. Angry Birds. My original thought was that since this was a refurb system that maybe it was just something left over from the last owner, but that couldn't be because I bought this directly from Apple. Wanna know how I fixed it? I literally just downloaded a trial version of FCPX and then deleted it.

    In order to find out the application containing the "guilty" receipt file, open a terminal window and issue this command:

     

    $ find /Applications -iname receipt -exec grep -e ngry {} \+

     

    In the line above, the text highlighted in red is a part of "Angry", since in my case that was the annoying application always asking for updates.

    Adjust it to a part of your annoying application's name, just in case.

    That line will output something like:

     

    Binary file /Applications/The Real Application.app/Contents/_MASReceipt/receipt matches

     

    What does that mean? Put simply, your "The Real Application" mac app has a license file that's referring to Angry Birds!

    Most likely you will get only one result. If you have multiple apps with the same problem, they will be listed.

    You can then trash all applications listed, or open the receipt file with text edit and remove the whole line where "Angry birds" is shown.

     

    Hope it helps.
