"You Have 3 Apps to Accept" ?

I have just run into this problem after installing Yosemite. Tried all these solutions but none of them worked. 😟

Same problem for me after updating to Yosemite. I tried the sign out sign in thing and it goes away...until I re-launch the app store. 😕

I also experienced this problem after upgrading to Yosemite. With me, it was imovie and iphoto. App Store says it needs accepting, yet after clicking accept and entering my Apple ID credentials, nothing happens i.e., the App Store merely says the two apps have already been accepted but the notification for accepting the two apps still remained. Imovie and iphoto appears to be updated though.

Same problem - iMovie and iPhoto. Just started today after I upgraded to Yosemite. I had downloaded the latest versions of these apps today, as well as the iWork apps, from the Updates page. I've also taken a little time to get these "Accepted" - signing in/out of App Store, restarting App Store app, restarting system - but they just come back. I expect we're not the only ones experiencing this.

I'm also having this issue, after doing a fresh install of Yosemite. Driving me bonkers.

Same here, on Yosemite. iMovie and iPhoto. "These apps have already been accepted." And yet, the annoying banner doesn't go away. ***?

Glad I'm not the only one.

Anyone resolution in sight on this one? I have it on my MacBook Air (now with Yosemite) but not on my iMac. Both already have these two apps installed. And the annoying banner doesn't go away, even if I delete the two apps in question, and re-download them fresh from the App Store. What gives? They want to assign these apps to my Apple ID even though they are already assigned to my Apple ID, and when discovering this, it won't let me accept them again (obviously) ... but the alert about them remains.

Meanwhile, they're NOT offering to assign the Remote Desktop app to my Apple ID, and if I don't zip the original, or trick it with the _MASReceipt from another app with fingers crossed,its (incorrect, even more annoying) update badge remains.

Once again DRM makes things far less joyful than they need to be. I really hope Apple fixes this... it's a buzzkill overshadowing what would have otherwise been a perfect upgrade experience.

App Store says I have apps to Accept after Yosemite Upgrade

Same issue on MacBook Pro Retina 2013, I'm getting fed up with MAS. First it won't update ARD and now this.

These apps have already been accepted

Apple needs to fix this and I am confident they will.

I've had a telephone chat with Apple Care just now. He told me to delete the "adoption.plist" from Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/App Store/

Then restart the Mac, open the App Store, click on "Accept" and enter your Apple-ID and password. It worked for me. He said it is just a cosmetic issue. The applications are still connected to your Apple-ID.

Thanks for sharing, Steffen -- I was hopeful, and tried that. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. 😟

You sir deserve a tasty cookie. Thank you.

NOPE! doesn't work - 😟 and I've tried ALL the other solutions and tried changing the language - and using debug to reset the app store and everything and these ffffing apps STILL insist they need accepting.

I'm on the point of throwing the mac at the wall and going back to windoze - help me please someone tell me how to STOP this message.
