Were you able to update other apps in your Purchased list? Do you and your wife share the same Twitter handle? It sounds like the Twitter app is 'registered' under your wife's Apple ID in the iTunes Store.ĭoes your wife have a separate user account on your iMac, or does she have an iPhone or iPad that she can access her iTunes Store purchases and see if she can update the Twitter app?Īlternatively, if the app is listed under your purchases, you can delete it and then download your past purchases. It's a personal computer, so there's only the one login user on here (me).

I understand you have been unable to update Twitter on your iMac.

App store on mac keeps asking for password password#

I had to click 'view account information', enter my AppleID and password, and then I am asked for my password when I try to update the App. My wifes AppleID is linked to mine through Family sharing, but her AppleID has never been used to buy anything from MacAppStore. I was not able to change this, I could only type in the 'password' box. The AppStore just keeps asking for the password over and over again.Īm I doing something wrong? Or is this a bug in MacOS SierraĪs a curiosity, first I was asked for the password of my wifes appleID. Whatever I do, I can not get the updating proscess started. However, instead of starting downloading the update, I am just again prompted to enter the password. I enter the correct (and Yes, I am sure it is the correct password for that AppleID). When I click 'update', I am prompted to give the password for the Apple account the App was bought with (the same account as I am currently logged into the Mac AppStore with). There is now an update to one of my Apps (Twitter). I am also able to download new apps from the Mac AppStore, and I downloaded and installed MacOS Sierra a few days after it was released.

I can wiew account information, a list of Apps I have bought etc. I am logged into the MacAppStore on my iMac.
