I purchased my MacBook from a private seller

I'm having an issue when I go to update from Apps. As the apps get updates, I cannot download them becasue his Apple ID comes up, not mine. How do I change what Apple ID is auto-filled for the app updates?


Thank you for the assist.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Remember to back up any of your files since you need to wipe the drive and start over - you will either need the original install disk (Snow Leopard or earlier), or use internet recovery (Command + Option + R during restart or boot up) in order to do this.


The seller should have done this before selling in order to comply with the licensing agreement.
