Accept Apps To Update - MAC

Have you recently had a error message pop up that says "To Update this app, you need to accept it on the Account page in the App store", only to see no accept button when you sign into your Apple ID account to update apps on your MAC? Well you have come to the right spot. Your friendly neighborhood IT has found a solution that will help fix the issue. Here is the rundown...
***This is a workaround and may not apply in later OSX updates or new operating systems that Apple pushes out***

  1. Go to the app store account page and make sure you are signed in
  2. Click on the Launchpad icon on your MAC and find the apps that need the update
  3. Click and hold the app until it wobbles....like it does on your iPad or iPhone when deleting apps
  4. Click the X by the app to delete it
  5. Do this for all of the apps that need an update
  6. Close Launchpad
  7. Wait about a minute or two then click the update/cloud download icon for the app in the app store
That is it....you are done and your good to go. Credit for this solution goes to r.w.b from a discussion thread on the Apple site. The thread for this can be found at the following link...
