[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1745832, member: 42497"] When you get a second hand computer always erase and format the hard drive and do a clean install. Sounds like your problem is the User Account is still set up with the former users details and when you go to the App Store it is picking that up, as Dave's link addresses. Another place coconut could be hiding is in the downloads folder. Click on the Finder, smiley face extreme left of Dock, if need be click the Users little arrow downwards and a list of folders come up including Downloads. It will be hiding in there. If the computer was not wiped, there could be a whole host of the former owner's Documents etc. [/QUOTE]
