Cannot update app on second hand Macbook aIR

I recently got a second hand Macbook Air and I am trying to update one of my apps but it comes up with the wrong Apple ID (where you have to enter your password) when try to update it. How do I change this?

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

What you have to do is erase the SSD and reinstall the ORIGINAL OSX. By doing that you can register the MBP in your name wirh your Apple ID.


Boot the MBA with the OPTION + COMMAND + R keys. The display should show a revolving globe. Follow the directions andyou will be connected to the Apple servers.


You will need a solid Internet connection.


If your MBA came with 10.6 or 10.5 OSX, you will have to use the original installation media.


Ciao.
