Me too. Twitter update with error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4) and this id *** not my id. I don't even have Twitter installed (don't use it on my mac, only on ipad).


All other updates are still loading correctly. However, I can't actually install Twitter (if I wanted to) as it wants to use this guys account.

Ok I found the problem. It appears that since I had a pirated version of Snapseed, the Appstore was trying to give me updates related to the account used to pirate the app. Everything is well explained in this thread : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3512893?answerId=21871877022#21871877022


I deleted the app, restarted the App Store and everything is fine now!

Its because it is a third party app

It means that you downloaded a aplication of piratebay or something and it has some link to a compleatly different app.
