App store update shows I can't update an app since my Apple ID is not associated with my account on Yosemite

App store update shows I can't update an app since my Apple ID is not associated with my account on Yosemite. How can I just force it to allow me to RE-BUY the app again since I don't even have it to update, but I want it?
Currently, I even though I don't have the app, I am not given the option to buy, only to "update", and when I click on that it either hangs or it complains that it can't since my Apple ID is not associated with my account.

And it was your wife's Apple ID that was used to download and install the Yosemite you are using on this computer? If so then I suggest you need to contact Apple to get his straightened out.

  • I can't log into FaceTime because my email address is not associated with my password. I'm in a loop that tells me to change my password. It doesn't work.

    I can't log into FaceTime because my email address is not associated with my Apple Password. I'm directed to reset my password and when I do, I'm told that my email address is wrong. I'm in a loop I can't get out of.

    Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
    Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
    If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Updated to iso7 and now credit card will not work with itunes account. What is going on?

    When I updated to iso7 my credit card information for my iTunes account is no longer valid. Tried to update my credit card information and it will not allow my current and valid credit card to be used and will not accept any of my other valid credit cards to be used.
    What is going on? Am I missing something or is apple hijacking my paid for accounts again?

  • I Am unable to update downloads as the password apple want is still associated with my old email account which is void.

    I have changed my add pale id account but the password request for my download updates is still linked to my old void email address. How do I change this?

    The password for your Apple ID will always be the same irregardless of what email address it is linked to, that is unless you change the password. You can change the password for your Apple ID and the Primary email address used for your Apple ID for Apple to contact you and I suggest you do that ASAP (and it should of been done before you abandoned that original contact email address).
    Change the password.

    I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
    Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
    So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
    I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this?
    Thanks

    Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

    That means you have to sign into/view your account and review you account and make sure you have a valid payment method specified in your account.

  • I recently updated the software on my ipad2 to 5.0.1 and when I send a message via "chat" it shows on all the iPhones associated with my account (my sisters, my husbands, etc) is there a way to stop that?

    If you have been using your phone as recommended, you should have minimal data loss from the inability to restore from a backup.
    Contacts and calendars should be synched to a computer application like Outlook or Address Book (or a cloud service like Google Contacts or iCloud).  The update process does NOT affect these computer applications so your contacts and calendars should be safe and sound in the application ready for synching back to your phone.
    Same for photos.  It is recommended that photos be imported to your computer as soon as possible after taking them (just as you would import them from any other camera) for storage, archival and safekeeping.  Again, your photos should be safe and sound on your computer.
    If you've not been using your computer as recommended, you've learned a very hard lesson, I'm afraid.

    I have found a fix after doing additional research through this forum. Tech Note #328730 addresses this problem and it works for Photoshop Album 3.2 even though it was written for release 1.0.
    Here is a link that will take you directly to the Tech Note:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=328730
    When using this fix the Tech Note indicates:
    "Imported image data and tags are lost when you re-create the My Catalog.psa file, so you need to reimport images and reapply any tags"
    however it did retain the captions (at least it did for me).

    You made a purchase and exhausted the credit on your card before it processed. All purchases are final. Contact iTunes Store support. You need to settle up before you can purchase or download anything else.
