HT4623 I can't update my apps on my iPad because it keeps asking for an outdated username and password which is different to my current one

I can't update my apps in my iPad because it asks me to sign in to an outdated id which is different to my current Apple ID

Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them. If you bought the apps with old username and password, you have to continue to use them to update the apps.
If you changed the username because you got a new email address, sign out of your old ID in Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap the old ID and sign out then sign in with the new/changed ID.

    1. Make sure software is up to date
    2. Make sure FaceTime is enabled; Settings>FaceTime
    3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    4. Make sure Push Notification is enabled
    5. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
    6. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo

  • The last apple ID used on my App Store is stuck how do I change back to my apple ID? I can't download anything because its not asking for my apple ID and password, help?

    help, the last apple ID used to download in my ipad2 is stuck, I can't download anything because its not asking for my apple ID and password, how do I change it back to mine?

    Again, this only affects you if someone *redownloaded* content with a different ID. In my case, I emailed iTunes Store support, explained the situation, and they reset the counter.  I recommend you try the same
    If you read discussion boards, this is a significant change from a year ago, when Apple told people in the same situation to go f&$# themselves.  Clearly it's dawning on them that this is a stupid policy, and my guess is if people keep complaining they'll change it to something more reasonable.  Remember, it wasn't that long ago you couldn't re-download content at all.
    Apple can't really afford to play hardball on this. Sure, the hardcore fanboys will always say "Thank you sir, may I have another" whatever Apple throws at them,  but the rest of us will just switch to Amazon, which has none of these restrictions.

  • Can't use ipad because it keeps asking for gmail password

    Can't use ipad because it keeps asking for gmail password

    Are you trying to access email on your gmail.com account?
    Or are you trying to open the iPad and need the Passcode?
    Give more info about what you are trying to do.

  • I have changed my username and password but the apps are still asking for my old username and password. How do I change that

    I have changed my username and password for my apple account but the apps previously linked to it are still asking for the old info. And I don,t know it so that's why I updated it

    Apps are permanently tied to the ID and password used to purchase them. If you do not remember that information, you cannot update them. If you ned these apps, you will have to repurchase them under your new ID.

  • Pages will not update, I plug in my user id and password and click update and it just keeps asking for my user id and password

    I have an update for 'Pages', however, when I put in my yser ID and password and click update I get routed back to the enter user ID and password screen.  It;s just a loop each time.  Any suggestions?

    Try de-authorising all computers associated with your iTunes account. It won't hurt since your computer can't play iTunes content anyway. Go to the iTunes Store. Click on your Apple ID and type in your password. There is a line item to de-authorise all. Click on that. Then go to Store>Authorise This Computer on iTunes.

  • When I open some installed apps on my iPhone 5c, I am asked for my Apple ID and password.

    This constantly happens. I've tried a few methods already, including deauthorizing+authorizing, signing out of apple id > resetting > signing back in (which is a temporary fix and actually worked for SOME apps). This just started happening tonight and I can't think of any reason why it would. HELP PLEASE, this is causing an irritation.
    I also noticed that it only happens to some apps that I installed, not the ones that were already in the phone.

    My iPhone is only a week old and most of the apps that I have recently installed have already been previously installed on my Apple ID therefore entering the password was not necessary.
    My first problem was frustrating me so much I decided to perform a reset which deletes all the data on my phone. I redownloaded my apps and checked to see if the problem was fixed by opening up random apps but it still isn't fixed.
    >>Okay I guess my problem is fixed for now. I tried redownloading an app that asked for a different email and it works fine.

    Hi Jamjoint,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    It sounds like your Apple ID is used for both the iTunes & App Stores and iCloud. If you edited that Apple ID before signing out of the iCloud on your devices, it may be necessary to edit the Apple ID back to the original email account so that you can sign out of iCloud. Once signed out, you can edit the Apple ID back to the new email account and sign back in. Please use the attached article for further information.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • I can't update my apps in my iPad. Help please.

    I can't update my apps in my iPad. When I press the "update" in my App Store app, it shows nothing. But in the app icon it has already 9 pending updates already. I already turned off my iPad then open it again. I already signed out my apple ID then turned off my iPad then opened it again but still I can't update it. I even tried resetting my iPad but still when I turned it on, at first the App Store icon doesn't have pending updates but after few minutes it'll be there again. Then if I go to App Store Icon then press "updates", there's nothing to update but it says there's a 9 pending updates based on the badge. Help.

    Try this temporary workaround
    App Store>Purchased>Select "All"
    Note: Look out for apps that have the word "Update"

  • HT4906 I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto?

    I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
    I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that either

    You would make address lables with the Contacts app.
    If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself.

  • When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID.  How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password???  I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id.

    When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID.  How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password???  I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id.  I am not signed into ITunes, the store on the ipad, or icloud under her name.  WIERD???

    There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.
