how to get rid of false app store software update requests?
I was asked to update twitter app to 2.2.1 when I never installed this app to start with. When click update, an unknown apple ID appears under ID box. when type in my ID and PW, an error msg pop up.
Background Info: I purchased this iMAC last year around July from bestbuy. I'm the sole owner and user of this computer. I really dont understand how this twitter app update request got into my system. It really bothers me because it feel like there's a ghost in my computer. Please contribute if you have ANY idea of how to fix this. It's not a major or serious problem like others, but its existence itself is very annoy and disturbing. I also did spotlight search for twitter, nothing come back except twitter webpage, indicating that i dont have twiiter app in my system. This also makes me think that it is not a problem of my computer. The apple app store might have messed up information that causes this glitch.
I went to apple store with this problem. Showed them screen shots of my problem without bringing in the computer ( too heavy). The tech suggested to delete files from the updates folder under Library. then reboot. I tried but with no success.
What should I do now????
