Iphone apps requires another itunes account for updates

Hi.
Lets get right into it.
I have my own account but when i try to update an app it asks for another guys account that i dont know! :O
When i purchase an app from the appstore with MY account its completly fine and the app installs. But when there comes an update for the app, and i press the update button I have to login to another account that i dont have a clue what the password is for that account. This happens to both free apps and purchased ones. :O So now im sitting here with an iphone packed with outdated apps...
please help! :O

Yes I have... One of my friends gave me some music. But we didnt sync. We just dragged and dropped the music onto the iphone.
BINGO!!!
And the iTunes account you are being prompted for is not your friend's iTunes account - not the account that iTunes on your friend's computer was logged in with when you stole music?
Was this music on your friend's computer downloaded from the iTunes store? If so and this music includes DRM protection, the iTunes account used to download the music with was transferred to your iPhone with the music.
And you didn't sync your iPhone with iTunes on your computer - or you didn't sync ANY iTunes content for if you had, your iPhone would have been erased of all iTunes content since your iTunes library is empty.
Since you have logged in with your iTunes account with iTunes on YOUR computer, I suggest restoring your iPhone with iTunes. This will erase the music on your iPhone that was stolen.

IPhone Apps from another iTunes account. Syncing problems.

HELP
I had another mac (Ibook G4) and it crashed. I could not use it so I used my husbands account to download some applications and set up my new iphone.
Now I have a new mac. I purchased an application from MY itunes store. When I tried to sync it to my iphone, it started erasing my applications that I purchased through my husbands account.
I tried to back up my applications and add them into my itunes store. It says I can do this at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848.
I did this, but it still says that if I sync it, I will lose all my apps off my iphone. Even though those apps are now in my itunes, I am afraid that if I sync I will lose the apps on my phone and in my application folder on itunes. Does anyone know if that is the case?

You have two different iTunes accounts.
One for you and one for him.
When you try to authorize HIS account on your computer, it says there are already 5 authorized.
You need to Deauthorze all on his account.
Do this...
"*To deauthorize all computers associated with your account*
If you find you have reached 5 authorizations, you can reset your authorization count by clicking Deauthorize All in the Account Information screen.
Click iTunes Store in the menu on the left side of iTunes.
If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
Click the Account button again (your ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All."
You will probably need to do it on his computer since you cannot log on with his account.
See this page -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
Then you can authorize is computer again and you can authorize yours.

Can I avoid paying (again) for apps on new iTunes account for child?

So, my wife and I bought our daughter an iPod Touch for Christmas and have decided that it is time for her to get her own iTunes account. The problem is, there are so many apps that we've downloaded for her on our iPad and iPhones over the years that we just don't want to have to pay for them again under her iTunes account. Is there a way, either through Home Sharing or some other means, to redownload them or transfer them from our devices into her iTunes account without deleting them from our devices since her account has nothing?

You can't transfer any content to a different account, those apps will remain tied to the account that bought them. As long as they are on the computer's iTunes that she syncs to then she should be able to continue to use them (but only your account will be able to download updates to them). If they are not on the computer that she will be syncing to then you should be able to copy them over to it either via home sharing (copying between computers), or you could copy them via , for example, a flash drive (you can find where they are stored on your computer by right-clicking one of them in the Apps part of your iTunes library and selecting 'show in explorer) and then add them to the new computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library (you will need to have authorised your account on that computer's iTunes via the Store > Authorise This Computer menu option).
If she will be syncing the iPod to a new computer then you might find this page helpful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Accidentally associated my iphone to the wrong itunes account for automatic downloads. What do I do?

Pretty much explained it in the title. I signed into my dad's iTunes account today to download a quick app that he had already purchased when I accidentally forgot to sign out of his account. Later on, I receive a notification on my iPhone that my iPhone is associated to a different Apple I.D. and that I can transfer over to the account for the automatic downloads feature. I didn't think this through and decided to transfer over, not knowing what I was doing. It said that I have to wait 90 days before I can transfer back over to my own Apple I.D. can someone from Apple please help me!!!

No one from Apple can help you here. This is a user forum. We are all itunes users like you.

I've a few issues, my old computer was out of memory and i changed to a new one which was already on another itunes account. When i upgraded to os5 my library has gone it has synced with the new computer - how do i restore the old ipad information? ple

I've a few issues, my old computer was out of memory. I changed to a new one which already had another itunes account (for my business) when i upgraded to os5 my library has dissappeared as it has syncd with the new computer. Is there any way i can restore the information previously from my ipad? really appreciate any advice thanx in advance

Lynda-
If you still have the old computer, you should be able to connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from a backup from a previous sync. Now that you have it updated, you will not need to do that again.

Changing your Apple ID to your current, working email address will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address.

Welcome to the Apple community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

How can i add an already existing iphone to a different itunes account without changing anything on the actual phone...just updating it?

I have an iphone synced to my iTunes account. But I need to add another used/existing iphone to my account to update it. I do not want to sync my emails/contacts/apps, etc. from my computer/iTunes to this new iPhone. This 2nd iPhone already has existing apps and is in use.
Is there any way that I can do this without changing anything on the existing iPhone? All I need to do is update it to the iOS 5.0.1.
Thanks!

Thanks so much for the response! You have been helpful and quick!
It wasn't my phone, hence the reason we didn't want to share/take each other's content (apps, contacts, music, photos, etc.). But the owner's phone hadn't been able to update because of a computer crash/no access to a stable computer. So, I just wasn't sure if we could do an update without sharing content.
But you most definitely answered my question! So, thank you!

Changing ITunes Account for Apps

How do I change my Itunes account for apps? When I go to update my apps, it still has my old account (my password does not work) and I have since created a new account (divorce issues). I have made a new password request for my old account and I do not get an email from Apple to do so. Everything else on my iphone is under my new account (Itunes, store, etc).
VERY FRUSTRATING!

How do I change my Itunes account for apps?
You can't. Apps are DRM protected & tied to the account used to originally purchase them. Contact iTunes support & request they add the apps in question to your download queue for your new account. Explain the situation & most likely, they will do so:

I have 7 iPhones, do I need an iTunes accounts for all of them

I have 7 iPhones, do I need an iTunes accounts for all of them

In that case, here is the applicable section from the iTunes Store agreement...
If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control.
So the way we have interpreted this is that each user( in a business) requires a separate iTunes account, though if the user had multiple devices that only he or she used, they need just one account for those devices. If you are an educational institution you can check out the iOS 5 Education Deployment Guide. Educational organizations have some different options.

I currently have one iTunes account for my personal iPod Touch and for my work iPhone and iPad. Can I create a separate account for work and keep my current account for my personal use - on the same computers?

I have an iTunes account for my personal iPod Touch - have had for several years. When my work provided me with an iPhone and now and iPad 2, they all fall under my personal iTunes account. Is it possible for me to create a separate account for my work devices and apps, while leaving my personal account intact? I use both my compter at home and at work to sync occasionally.

A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads
