How do i change what apple id i want to use when updating apps?

When updating apps, it shows my boyfriends apple id (we share a plan and both just got 4S). Every thing else shows my apple id. I want to use my own accont to update apps. How do I get rid of his apple id on my phone?

You cannot.
Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.  You will always have to update them using the same account.

  • How to change what search engine the adress bar uses when typing in a search to something that isn't Google

    I currently left all Google services I used, Gmail, Chrome, etc.. because of the recent selling info to the gov and what not and although it may or may not be true I am being safe and switched to Firefox and a different email provider. Anyway so far I like Firefox I am using DuckDuckGo as my current default search and I would like to use it as my search engine when I type in a search in the address bar, by default it's Google how do I change it to a search provider I want to like DuckDuckGo?

    Hello,
    If you have installed DuckDuckGo on Firefox, you can follow these steps:
    # Type '''about:config''' in the address bar.
    # A warning appears, click "I'll be careful, I promise!"
    # Type '''browser.search.defaultEngine''' in the search box at the top of the page.
    # Double-click the item that appears.
    # Set the value to '''DuckDuckGo''' or whatever search engine that you would like to use (case sensitive I think).

  • How do I change the apple id that has alreadys been registered in apps on my iPad

    I need help

    I'm not 100% certain what you're asking but I suspect that it may not be possible.  You CAN change the Apple ID in Settings > Store.  Touch the ID and you will be given the option of changing it.  However, this does not affect any apps that you have already purchased.  If you have purchased apps using another ID, you will need to remember the password for that ID because you will need it when the apps are to be updated.
    There are a bazillion of us with multiple IDs and no way to combine them.

  • How do i change what Apple ID is used to update my apps?

    When I first synced my iPod touch (4th gen.) to my computer, my sister uses this computer also, one of her past Apple ID's was the only way to update my apps and whatnot. Now I don't know how to change it to my Apple ID.

    You don't.
    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.  You will always have to use that account to update the apps.

    Either change you rescue mail to something else, or delete the rescue email, and you should be able to use the email address as your primary apple ID.

  • How do I change which media player adobe reader X uses when I click a link that directs me to a vid

    There is a link in a pdf file I use, and when I click on it i receive this message:
    "This media requires an additional player. Please click 'Get Media Player' to download the correct media player. To play the media, you will need to close and restart the application once the player installation is complete."
    However, I am in possession of several media players that I know are able to play the file that the link is referring to.
    I do not want to download additional media players. I just want to figure out how to play the video when I click on the link.
    Thanks for your time.

    Andy, is your profile signature "iMac (27-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.5)" still correct or has your system changed since you set it up?
    the Aperture database that is under Media - Photo is the wrong one
    This may be a problem of a wrong entry in the Aperture preferences file. The Media Browser will use the most recently opened Aperture library . Try first to switch to a new empty Aperture library and then back (you can switch using the File menu in Aperture (File > Switch to Library > Other/New). Then restart your Mac to ensure, that all applications terminate properly.
    If you are running Aperture 3.5.1 in Mt. Lion or later, you may need to enable the option "Share XML with other applications" in the Aperture preferences "Preview" tab. This is only necessary for non-Apple apps (Aperture 3.5: Set "Share XML with other applications" to "Never" for better performance and faster quit times).
    If that does not correct the Aperture library in the Media Browser, quit Aperture and remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder as described in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting basics.

  • HT3965 I got what appears to be a reconditioned (pre-owned) iPod Touch 4 for Christmas.  How can I change the Apple ID on tis device so I can use it with my iTunes Acct and Wi-Fi network?  Thanks.

    I received what appears to be a reconditioned iPod Touch 4th for Christmas.  How do I change the Apple ID on the device to my ID so I can use my iTunes account?  Thanks for any help/

    It would probably be best to attach the iPod to a computer and restore it. This way you'll know it's wiped clean. Then, when you start up the iPod it will ask you for your Apple ID.

    I have purchased a new iPad and given my old one to my husband.  How do I change the Apple ID over to him.  We are having continuous confusion between the two iPads

    Hi Marg42,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
    Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
    This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:

    Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:
