How do i update applications that were downloaded with a different apple id

how do i update applications that were downloaded with a different apple id

You can't. The iLife apps get tied in with not only the Apple ID, but the Mac that they were accepted on.The Mac App Store will always remeber that the iLife apps have been accepted once before already on this Mac and will only offer to update them with the Apple ID into whose account they were accepted.

  • HT203433 I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone.  When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account.  Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id.  What do I need

    I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone.  When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account.  Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id.  What do I need to do?

    You can write into support and ask for help reenabling the account through this link here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    Since the applications were purchased on the older account, you will need to log into that account to update them. The newer account will not recognize the purchases because they are not a part of the purchase history for the specific account.

    How do I remove photos that were downloaded from my laptop to my phone?

    You sync with the computer again using iTunes but using the instructions quoted below from https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201313
    To delete synced photos and videos from your device
    In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
    Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    Click Apply.

  • Updating apps that were purchased with an old account

    How do I update apps that were purchased under prior email account? I no longer have this email address but the app updates keep prompting me for it.

    Apps are forever tied to the account used to download them.  That means they will always require it to update. The fact the email is no longer functional has nothing to do with this.
    If you still have the password for the Apple ID (not the email account) you can still use it.  You can also go to appleid.apple.com and update the email address for the Apple ID there to a functioning one so the Apple ID remains useable.

  • HT1311 To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my phone or computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

    To create a new apple ID, if I sign out of the current Apple ID account, and then sign in with a newly created account, will I lose any songs or apps on my Iphone and Macbook Pro computer that were downloaded from the old apple ID?

    No, you will not loose anything.  However, if you ever need to update any of that previously purchased content, or re-download it, you will have to use the older AppleID.  Purchases are permanently tied to the AppleID you use when making the purchase.

    Hi julia151,
    I would first use this article to make sure any extra Apple IDs were not accidentally created when signing up for one of Apple's services:
    Apple ID: Finding your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625
    If you can't locate one, try using this article to delete and redownload your app:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Error: This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again.

    I am trying to update iphoto but I have been receiving the error message "This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again." All other IDs I have had NO LONGER work or aren't activated. I deleted the current verison of iphoto, but it still won't work, so now I have no iphoto whatsoever...any ideas? my current ID is my ONLY ID I have.

    Apple Closed all other accounts and the logins DO NOT WORK!
    Apple would only have closed an account if you called Apple and formally requested that be done. Otherwise, the account is still there.
    I was able to delete my old apps and redownload them onto my computer which switch the Apple ID it was under, but I am not having the same luck with iPhoto.
    Those would have been free apps that you "bought" again using your new Apple ID. iPhoto is a paid app and Apple will not transfer it to a different Apple ID.

  • I and my brother have different apple id's but are using the single itunes library on our home PC.When i am syncing my iphone most of the times the apps that were purchased with my brothers apple id is also getting on my iphone.

    i and my brother have different apple id's but are using the single itunes library on our home PC.When i am syncing my iphone most of the times the apps that were purchased with my brothers apple id is also getting on my iphone.
    How do i differentiate the apps that were purchased with my apple id and sync accordingly.As i want only the apps that were purchased in my apple id.
    I am aware of the fact that i can click on the app and check with "getinfo" to see with whose apple id it is brought.but there are hundreds app which i cannot check one by one.
    How do i filter the apps with apple id and sync?

    Connect the device to the computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.

  • App Store error: "This update is for an app downloaded with a different apple id"

    When trying to update PopClip, I get the following two errors:
    "This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again"
    After clicking OK, I receive the next error:

  • I accidentally deleted iPhoto on my mac and it says the the app was downloaded with a different apple id and now i can't get the app back without paying $14.99

    Did you install it yourself are somebody else for you?
    If you installed them yourself, but do not remember which AppleID you used, try all AppleIDs you might have used in turn.
    If somene else set up your Mac for you, ask the person to reinstall it. If you bought the mac second hand, the previous owner needs to contact Apple to transfer the iLife apps. If that is not possible, delete the apps that you cannot update and buy them using your AppleID.

  • How do I add ringtones that were downloaded from itunes to my iphone 5

    How do I download ringtones that were downloaded from Itunes to my iphone 5.

    You don't, as ringtones are a one time purchase and as such can't be redownloaded.
    If you still have them on your iTunes library, you may sinc them from there.
    If you have a backup that contains them, you may restore your phone from that backup.
    Or you can go to expresslane.apple.com and try for a re-issue. Which they do only occasionally and depending on the circumstances.

  • How do you update an apps on iPad when it says "this update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID.  I have tried both mine and my husbands ID and it still won't work?

    I have tried to update an apps on my mini iPad but it says this update is for an app downloaded with a diffrent Apple ID.  Sign in with that Apple ID and try again.  I have tried both mine and my husbands ID and it still does not work.

    We'll you can either do as Niel suggested, delete it and download it again with one of the two Apple ID's, or if you want to be sure that one of the two you actually bought the app, look in the purchased tab of the App Store when you are signed into your ID and see if the app shows up in there and if not, then sign into your husband's ID and see if the app shows up with his ID.
    After you you figure out who actually bought the app, use that ID to update it. If it still doesn't work, try signing out of that ID, restart the iPad, sign in again and try to update again.

  • How can I update programs that were purchased for me?

    I received a laptop that was preloaded with Final Cut Pro and Motion. I have updated the OS to 10.9.1 and when I try to install upates for FCP and Motion I get the Apple ID for the person who installed the original programs and no way to change it to my ID. Is there an easy way to transfer them to my ID so I can continue with the updates?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    There's no way at all except to delete them and then buy them from your Apple ID.
