There was a previous user before me using this Enterprise Mac. The administrator added my account and made me administrator too. But when I want to update XCode, it asks me for connexion with the previous user ! I can't change this field, it forces me to connect with the old user.

How can I change that please?

Doing a Sign Out didn't change anything. It is always associated to the previous account...

    If the computer is controlled by your company, you will have to ask them. They should have cleared any previous user's data from it before assigning it to you.

  • Can you create a new Apple ID and disconnect the active Apple ID from System Preferences, then connect with the new Apple ID?

Uninstall the pervious version of Xcode installed on your Mac and install the latest one.

This was the only solution that worked for me when I forgot the account with which I downloaded Xcode, but it did take about 24 hours to work.

  • You mean, update the last XCode Version? I always do updates, even big ones, and it didn't change
