imovie update for mac keeps asking for password

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.
