Hello,

I am having problems a weird problems with my iTunes App Account i.e. that on my iMac, I get a notification on software update pertaining to an app "Angry Birds" which is not installed on this mac. When I press the update it shows an email address which is not my or any one in the family.

Can some advise me that how can i get rid of this?

Did you buy this Mac used? We've seen this when the system was previously used with a different Apple ID and those apps remain installed but not associated with the Apple ID currently associated with the system.

Are you certain the app isn't installed? I've seen this on an iPhone, where an app was installed with someone elses Apple ID, and then every time it tried to do an update, it asked for that Apple ID/password.
