HT204053 I cannot access the app store because it wants to access an @me Apple ID that no longer works. How do I eliminate this ID so I can access apps?aid

I cannot access the app store because the iPad is requesting a password to an Apple ID that does not exist. The app store seems to be using an @me iCloud address as the Apple ID. This is not my ID or email addresses. How can this be changed to my Apple ID?

Easy, just sign out then back in again.

    I am having the same issue for itunes.msi (iPhone 4S and Windows XP)
    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • I just purchased a software upgrade.  I received an e-mail that says, "To install your software, you simply launch the Mac App Store, click "Redeem"• found under Quick Links and enter your content code(s)." How do I do this??

    I just purchased a software upgrade to OSX Lion.  I received an e-mail that says, "To install your software, you simply launch the Mac App Store, click "Redeem"• found under Quick Links and enter your content code(s).  How do I "launch the Mac App Store?"

    Assuming you are running OS X 10.6.6 or later (10.7.x Lion, 10.8.x Mountain Lion or 10.9.x Mavericks), go to the Apple Menu (top left-hand corner of the screen)>App Store and it should become clear from there.

  • Can't update Apps. Wants me to verify old Apple ID that no longer exists.

    This is really annoying. . . I go to update my apps in my iPad & iPhone but when I go "Update All" it asks me to sign in with my old Apple ID (that email address no longer exists).  Even if I put in the old password associated with that old ID it tells me I need to verify that Apple ID and that an email has been sent to that old email address (that no longer exists!).  It's crazy as I have not used that address for years and two years ago I associated that old ID with my new email address, but I couldn't change my Apple ID to reflect my new email address so it just kept the old address but my receipts were being sent to the new email address. .. confusing, but it worked.  Now I have a @me.com address and an Apple ID that utilises my @me.com account, but even when I sign out of iTunes/App Store and sign back in with my new Apple ID, I cannot update apps. . . I can purchase news apps, but I can't update anything.
    I'd really like some help here.  I have gone to the Apple ID webpage and tried to log in to the old address in order to delete it or whatever but when I do it says it is trying to verify that email address (which it can't as it no longer exists), so when I option to put in another email address for it to send the verification to (my @me.com account) it says "You cannot create an Apple ID using a MobileMe account. If this is your email address, it is also your Apple ID.". . . . . yes, I know that is my Apple ID. . . that;s the one I want to use.  If anyone can tell me how to get rid of the old Apple ID/email address I'd be very grateful.

    I appreciate exactly where you're coming from.  I've been fighting a similar battle for some six months now and I've finally given up.  The problem is that, contrary to the semantics on the Apple ID management page, your up-to-date email address is not the primary address.  The ID name is the primary address and what's alleged to be primary is actually secondary.  I learned this the hard way when I was trying to fix an issue with a very old ID that did NOT have an email address as a name.  I changed to to reflect the (old) address and I made matters worse and I can't go back!
    In my case, I have a whole slew of free apps on the old ID and maybe US$40 or US$50 worth of paid apps.  Little by little I'm deleting the free apps and obtaining them again with the current ID.  When I finish that, I'll probably bite the bullet and pay again for the other apps.

  • I am unable to purchase as I cannot complete the address as it is asking for a USA adress and not a GB address. How do I overcome this?

    I was unable to purchase music as the billing address prompt was for the USA. As I am purchasing from England how do I overcome this? Is there a prompt to change the billing adress to GB and form $ to £.

    No, I did not have to purchase the upgrade. But here is what I believe my
    error was: earlier today, I upgraded to LR 5.6 on my laptop. Then I
    upgraded to the same on my desktop, but became confused and installed it
    TWICE.
    Is this the reason that Adobe is asking me to license Lightroom and to come
    up with a serial number? (I have my serial # from LR4, but it does not do.)
    Should I try to deactivate LR 5 and then try again to upgrade to it?
    Or am I still confused and need to purchase the LR 5.6 upgrade? Thanks for
    your help.

  • For the last 2days when I attempt to rent a movie And my Apple TV attempts to access the iTunes Store I get a message can't connect to server, try again later. I can connect to Netflix, Hulu and all other services. Any help appreciated.

    For the last 2 days when I try to rent a movie on my Apple TV the Apple TV attempts to access the iTunes Store and then I get a message saying Apple TV cannot connect to the server at this time. Please try again later. I have no trouble connecting to Netflix, Hulu or any of the other apps. I also have no trouble connecting to the iTunes Store using my iPhone or iPad. I have also tried restarting the Apple TV and my router. Any help will be appreciated.

    I have a similar problem. After a recent update I cannot access the iTunes Store to resubscribe to Hulu. "Cannot access iTunes Store at this time." Dunno what to do.

  • Why iTunes 10 crashes when accessing the iTunes Store?

    iTunes 10 is local working well after starting. I can play all my music, videos , etc. When I like to access the iTunes store iTunes crashes without any warning.
    What can I do, to fix the probleme?
    Thanks in advance.

    I am running iTunes 10.1.2 on Mac OS 10.6.6
    All my home sharing is turned off as is Genius (which was causing crashes on startup). I don't share my library. In fact I'm pretty sure I've turned off as much as I can.
    If I access the iTunes store, iTunes crashes.
    If I run Genius, iTunes crashes
    Sometimes if I plug in my iPhone, iTunes crashes (I think it's going out to the network to find updates)
    If I download a podcast or subscribe to a new podcast iTunes works OK.
    If I turn off my network iTunes runs fine.
    It seems that whenever iTunes talks to Apple's servers it crashes.
    Here's what was posted to /var/log/system.log when iTunes crashed trying to access the iTunes store:

  • After downloading iOS 8.1.1 the apple apps on my iPad 2 no longer work.  Anyone else having this issue

    after downloading ios 8.1.1, my apple apps no longer work.  Anyone else seeing this?

    It might fix corrupted apps, but now you have the Settings app freezing on you. At this point, I would close every app in the multitaski g display and then reset the iPad again in the manner in which Ralph described above.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it. Close every app this way. If you have never done this before, it can take a few minutes to close them all if you have a bunch apps in the display.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • You cannot open the application app store because it is not supported on this architecture

    My Apple store app will not open, and it gives me this error. What can I do?
    "you cannot open the application app store because it is not supported on this architecture"

    The Mac App Store application is damaged. Open  > About this Mac, and check which Mac OS X version you have.
    If you have got 10.7 or newer, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting and reinstall OS X. Another option is to download the OS X installer from the Mac App Store and use Pacifist to install Mac App Store.
    If you have got 10.6, first try reinstalling OS X 10.6.8 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US If it doesn't work, insert the Snow Leopard DVD, hold the C key while your Mac is starting up and reinstall Mac OS X.
