Trouble with downloading Twitter

Hello.


I have a little trouble, but it seems to come really great.


When I try to download Twitter from App Store, it requires sign in with Apple ID kyle_chenyujia @hotmail.com - but it's not me and I don't know how it may happened with my notebook. I'm using it for a few days, it's totally new and it's totally not my Apple ID. Logging with my Apple ID doesn't work and show error:


We could not complete your request.

There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)


So I try to search solution, but find only people with similar trouble: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1556868


Other apps downloads normally.


Can I fix this or it's bug?

When I searched for "kyle_chenyujia @hotmail.com" I never imagined I'd find somebody with the exact same problem as me. Have you found a solution yet?

Hello,


I have downloaded Final Cut Pro to do some video editing which I have done for a long time. I have run this copy "Final Cut pro" and it appeared in my app store to update twitter which it is piece of software I haven't installed in my machine. Once, i have seen that this update and I could not get out of my system. I reformated my system using a app store Mountain Lion OS X. Since then I cannot get out this update out of my machine. I have tried all the way to find receipt of the "final cut pro" to stop to have twitter update in my machine but i cannot find it and i cannot remove it. How can you help me to fix it?? I have run it find any file. it have not found the MAS receipt as way to delete it and get raid of this **** update.


thanks

If the file is not there, then it's some other program that HAS the file causing the problem. Use the method above.


Download app EasyFind. (the harder way is to search for all apps using spotlight in a finder and then checking out package contents for each one to see if it has "_MASReceipt" folder and then checking if you downloaded it from the App Store or not)


Search for "_MASReceipt" in / and select "Package Contents" & "Invisible files and Folders"


You will get all those folders and you can see all the apps that have that file in the file paths. See the apps (it wasn't Twitter) that you haven't downloaded from the App Store in that list.


Go to each of those apps.


Right clicked and selected "Show package contents" Deleted the "_MASReceipt" folder.
