These apps have already been accepted

Thanks for reporting these issues and referencing the thread, audiomixer.

Funny thing is that when you are at the first level help and you are having a weird issue such as this, they actually look here in this discussion forum for a solution that may have already been found.

That doesn't surprise me...ASC is a wealth of information assembled over the years. I'm relatively new to OSX and have accumulated most of my knowledge from this forum- especially from the seasoned veterans here!

linking related thread with same issues for Apple's reference:

you have 2 apps to accept

I'm having a similar problem since upgrading to Yosemite. App Store indicates I need to upgrade iTunes. Yet I've already done that. In fact, below it shows that I've already upgraded iTunes to the latest version, yet I cannot get rid of the message that I need this software update. When I click on "upgrade" it loads about 50MB of the 218MB indicated then stops. Below, it shows that I've upgraded (yet again) but the original message to upgrade iTunes is still there above with the number 1 showing in my App Store icon. Very frustrating. What do I do?

That issue is different from this thread but just go to https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and download it manually and install it. This should take care of your problem Doc.

Thanks Audiomixer. That solution was suggested by someone else in another part of the Forum, but they couldn't tell me if I'd lose my music. iTunes 12.0.1 was loaded automatically when I upgraded to Yosemite. It works perfectly so I'm anxious about re-loading manually. It seems that App Store doesn't recognise that I have it already installed. So, do I have to uninstall iTunes first, then re-install manually? Will my music still be there? I'm fairly new to this sort of thing. Thanks for any advice you can give.

They just had me install right over the top of the other one and my music was all still there.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue. I also have 6 apps to accept. 15" MBP Retina Mid 2014.

I have a mid 2011 iMac 27" that does not exhibit the problem so I agree with the hardware specific issue. Maybe the SSD is the answer?

Hopefully they will release a fix soon.

I will wait for the Apple fix. There are way too many variables and variations in play from the posts to this thread:

- some have this issue with SSD machines; others have it with non-SSD machines.

- some have this issue with their iMac and not their MacBook Pro; others have this issue with their MacBook Pro and not their iMac.

- some have 6 apps to accept (iLife and iWorks); others just have a subset of these 6 apps.

- some had processing issues while upgrading to Yosemite; others did not have upgrade issues.

- (am sure there are more combinations I have missed)

It appears the common things we all share are;

- we did not have this issue before upgrading to Yosemite.

- we are frustrated by accepting applications only to be told those apps are already associated with our ID and being re-prompted to accept apps.

That pretty much sums it up.

Content is not stored in the iTunes app, it is in the iTunes Library at ~/Music/iTunes.

I have the same problem is iMovie and iPhoto

Has anyone tried deleting the apps and reinstalling?

Tried deleting and reinstalling. Did not fix.

I suspect the apple record is corrupted or is associated with a different apple id.

I have a different Apple ID I use for iCloud and App store purchases. I suspect that during the upgrade process it associated the iCloud id but then they got

accepted under the App Store and the iCloud record is hanging out someplace.

Thanks Audiomixer! I took the plunge -- trashed the iTunes app and manually downloaded iTunes again from Apple, installed it and everything is fine now. The App Store has recognised the installation and is no longer pestering me to update. Hope everyone gets their issues sorted soon.
