How to change apple id for app updates

The user id that displays on my ipod is correct on the settings menu but when I try to update my apps, the apple id that displays (and wants a password) is one that I no longer use.  How can I change the apple id for this one function to my current correct one?  I've tried poking around all the settings and can't find where to change it.  Once it is changed, I can then use my regular password.   Thanks!

Hi jabsykes,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may have downloaded or purchased applications from two different Apple IDs. To update those applications, you will need to sign in to the Apple ID that downloaded the applications initially. Please use the attached article for instructions on how to sign out and sing in to different Apple IDs on your iOS device.

  • How do I change my apple ID for apps update?

    My apple ID for apps update differs from my usual apple ID. How do I match them so that I can update the apps (refuses my password)

    I am using the apple ID that I want but my iphone asks me for the old apple ID's password to update the apps and I don't know what to enter since what I enter, prompts a message that says that my password is less than a year old and I need a new one. I don't want the iphone ID but the iTune ID instead

  • Apple ID for app updates does not match new Apple ID cannot get updates

    Can someone tell me how to get the Apple ID for app updates to match new changed Apple ID?
    I can get new apps with new ID but not updates....old ID shows up and will not accept password.

    Your advice is to change my Apple ID again?
    No I gave you a link to try to get a new password to work with the old Apple ID.
    And are you saying that I will not be able to access any updates for apps that were acquired under the original Apple ID and password?
    I am saying that the only way to update apps acquired with the old Apple ID is with the old Apple ID. You cannot update them with a new Apple ID.

  • How to change apple id for icloud?

    how to change apple id for icloud?

    From the knowledgeable Roger Wilmut:
    You can't change the primary email address, the one you created when you opened an iCloud account (or if you migrated from MobileMe the address you log in with) other than by opening a completely new account.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    However you can create three 'email aliases' - these are extra addresses, not accounts, which deliver into the same inbox as the main address.
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    It's actually quite a good idea to give out an alias address rather than the main one, since these can be easily changed should you get spammed.

  • How can I change Apple ID for App Store?

    I changed my Apple ID, Itunes on my Itouch recognizes it, but the app store does not. How can I change AppleID for App Store? When I try to update my apps it asks for the password for my old Apple ID which does not exist anymore.

    Thank you for the reply. I've done that twice and have no problem getting into the ITunes store. Problem is that I have 12 apps that want to be updated. I go to App Store and slect to "update all" and first thing it does is bring up my old AppleID (no place to change it) and asks for the password for that Apple ID.
    I tried doing a sync to my computer in case that would work, but no help. I wonder if I will have to do a complete reset just to fix this???

  • Changing apple ID for app store updates.

    My son's friend put his apple ID in our ipad, and now when i try to update an app, the friend's ID shows up and mine does not.  I do not know how to change it back.

    What id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app ? If it's your son's friend's id then tap on it and log out of it and then log back in with your id. But any apps that your son's friend downloaded will be tied to his id, so only his id will be able to download updates to those apps

  • Change Apple ID and App updating on iPhone

    Hello,
    i've changed my apple id from http://appleid.apple.com
    On my iPhone, AppStore asks new account access to install new apps. For apps installed before appleid changement, AppStore asks password for old appleid.
    How i can solve this?
    Thank you.

    You will have to use that apple id and password in order to update the app.
    as all apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase/download.
    You can't use your new apple id to update it.

  • How to change apple Id for updating

    My daughter has already signed into the app store on a different user on my mac . When I go to download or update apps on my user, I cannot do this because her apple ID has saved to the app store for the whole computer. As I  do not know her password, I am unable to update/download apps. I also cannot change the email address when doing this
    Please can someone help me remove her apple ID so that I can put mine in?
    Thank-you

    It is not whether it is straight forward or possible, it is that this is the security system in place to prevent both piracy of software and hacking of accounts.
    Whose computer is it? Who set it up? Whose account has Administration privileges on this Mac? The Mac, OS X, the pre-installed software can only belong to one person, regardless of how many of you have user accounts on the Mac. It is only this one user who can update the software.

  • How to change apple ID for updating applications?

    When i first bought my iphone a friend put his apple ID so he could show me how to download apps.
    Although now i have my own ID and download apps with this one - every time i try to update some apps his email address pops up for which I do not have the password to. Is there a way to remove his ID from my phone completely and update my apps with my own ID? Any kind of help would be great on this

    Noble Seven, I actually did that deleted everything and then downloaded them again but for some reason it still does the same thing when i try to update them.
    I've noticed that the other email pops up even on the apps that i downloaded with my own ID...
    Thank you for trying to help guys
