Removal of apps which was installed with a different iTunes account

Hi there,
I recently had to restore my phone from a iCloud backup. The backup contained apps which was installed by a different iTunes user. The phone keeps prompting me for the password and I don't know the password, I want to remove those apps from the phone so it will stop asking me for the password.
Please advice. !

If you can't delete the apps without entering a password, that means restrictions is turned on. And you will need the password to turn restrictions off also. So pretty much the only way to get rid of them, is a recovery mode restore to factory settings. But that will delete everything from the phone.
Or if you know who's ID was used to download the apps, ask them for the password, or keep the apps it's up to you.

  • How to share apps between 2 iPads with 2 different iTunes account in 2 computers?

    I apologize if this has been answered somewhere but I've spent a lot of time researching this and none of the questions exactly match my situation.
    Situation: I have my own iTunes account, Mac and iPad. My Mom has her own PC, iTunes account and I just bought her an iPad.
    Issue: I would like to share some apps with her, without her having to buy them all over again.  Since I'm paying for all her app purchases anyway, I would rather not pay for Angry Birds twice.  She has her own apps and music that I have no interest in, so we cannot share 1 iTunes account.
    This is what I was thinking of doing from all the research I've read:-   Since I can authorize up to 5 computers or 10 computers & devices from 1 iTunes account, can my Mom sign out of her iTunes account on her PC, sign in to my iTunes account, download all the apps she wants from my account. Then, she signs out of my account, back into hers and sync her iPad.
    Questions:
    1) This (should) mean that her PC is now authorized with 2 iTunes accounts - hers and mine. In other words, she gets to keep all her content in her iPad plus whatever apps she wants from me.  Will this work?
    2) It wouldn't wipe out all her apps/music/photos etc during the sync, will it?
    3) Will update to apps I purchased in my iTunes account automatically also update in her iPad?  Or will the update only happen if she signs out of her account and in to mine again.
    4) If someone knows of a better way of doing this, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks much
    Jeff

    I do something similar myself and it works quite well, so here are my answers to your questions:
    1. Her PC would be authorized on both iTunes accounts. So yes, the arrangment you mention here will work.
    2. No, nothing will get wiped out from her iTunes library or iPad.
    3. The App Store on her iPad will simply ask for your password in order to update apps from your account. In these cases the authentication alert view will show your Apple ID instead of hers
    4. Maybe instead of using the Purchases tabs (since on the iPad there is an odd restriction to only one account and changing it renders the feature useless for 90 days, why is beyond me) use Home Sharing between the computers if possible, or put what she wants on a flash drive to take to her house.

  • How do I delete an app installed with an old iTunes account?

    How do I delete an app installed with an old iTunes account? After syncing my iPhone with iTunes, the app is not listed in the App section.

    To delete an app from your iphone, press and hold any icon until they all start wiggling. Apps that you can delete will have a circled x in the top left corner of the icon. Tap that circled x to delete. Tap home button to stop the wiggling.

  • How do updates work if you download Apps with 2 different itunes accounts?

    I am wondering what will happen when Apps need to be updated and they have been purchased on the same iPad but with two different iTunes accounts?
    One person is signed in and purchases Apps and then signs out. The other person signs in and make purchases with another account.
    When updates are available, you are asked to put in a password. Does it matter which password is used??
    Will this be workable?
    Thanks,
    Prea

    Your purchases are linked to your own iTunes account so in order to update you would have to log in with the one account to update the apps purchased from that account, sign out, then sign in with the second account in order to update those apps purchased with the second account.
    Yes it matters which password you use. Separate accounts will require separate passwords in order to sign in and update apps.

  • Is there a way to get a second free trial of an app on my iPad with a different iTunes acct

    Is there a way to get a second free trial of an app on my Ipad with a different Itunes acct and password?

    You will be logging out of your current ID to do this, so you will lose all of your apps and things for your other Apple ID, until you switch back.
    This seems like hard work to save a couple of dollars.

  • Can I use 1 computer with 2 different iTunes accounts and devices? We're afraid we're going to wipeout one library or the other if we do??

    My son got an iPhone and wanted his own iTunes account. Now his computer died, and he wants to connect to his iTunes account on my computer. When it asks to sync the computer, a message comes up and we're afraid either his or my library are going to be wiped out by trying to do this. Is it possible to use 1 computer with 2 different iTunes accounts and devices without wiping out one of the libraries? Thanks for any info.

    If the content was not originally purchased/synced to the device from your computer it will erase and replace the content from the device with that of the computer. If you have content that you want to backup you can transfer purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848 check this link out

  • Can we share music/apps within a family while using different iTunes accounts?

    Can we share music/apps within a family while using different iTunes accounts?
    Recently purchased iPhone 5 for my wife and I + my daugther has an iPod.  I'd like for us all to have separate iTunes accounts so we can each use iCloud without getting each other's notifications, but would like to have one central repository for mucsic and apps.  I'm afraid if I set up iTunes accoutn for the tow of them, I'll have to re-purchase the music and apps (way too many!)

    It can be done, but you will have to sign in to your account on her itunes to updated the apps. Try these instructions:

  • HT4009 I want to purchase an app that I have under a different iTunes account.  How is this done, as I tried and iTunes said it was already installed.

    I want to purchase a subscription of Brain Pop.  I have it free under another iTunes account and want to purchase it under my newer acct. The message comes up as already purchased in app store.

    If I were in that situation, I would use a computer.  There you could sign in to iTunes, and "gift" the purchase from the account that currently has it free to the newer account.  You would do this by finding it in the iTunes App Store, and then clicking the down-facing arrow to the right of the "downloaded" button.

    Yes.
    Simply load the app onto her iPhone.
    Note that the app allow you to find a different iPhone. You can use it to locate your own iPhone but if your own iPhone is in your hands and you are using the app...
    Anyone can us the app to log into their own iCloud account and find their own iPhone (ie.You use her iPhone to locate your iPhone and vice-versa).

  • Will applications update when downloaded with a different iTunes account?

    Here is my scenario:
    My girlfriend bought an iPhone. To sync her contacts I used iTunes on my computer, unknowlingly setting up her iPhone to have my iTunes account set up on it. Since I didn't realize my iTunes account was saved to her iPhone, she proceeded to download several free apps to her phone, all under my account.
    After realizing what had happened when we tried to sync the iPhone to her computer, I did some research on the web and figured out how to get her iTunes account on the iPhone (I accesse the store on her computer and then synced her iPhone to it - problem solved). To allow her to continue using the applications on her phone, I authorized her computer to use my iTunes account.
    My question: If her phone now has her iTunes account, but still has some applications originally downloaded under my account will the app store still check for updates for these applications?
    Also, are there any other considerations I should be aware of with this situation?
    Thanks for your help,
    George

    Free applications are easy to "re-purchase"
    Lets say you bought Travel Planning software for $39 under an appleID with your work email address. Then you got a mobileMe account for personal use and that of course is an appleID too. Well, good luck getting updates for your $39 purchase. You "can" do it...but it means you have to logon to the iTunes store as the old account get the updates, log back into the first account to get updates for the apps purchased with that account...and then sync to the iPhone. Lots of fun.

  • Syncing an Iphone with a different iTunes account to my iTunes acct?

    My son has an older model Iphone that I want to download my apps & music onto. The phone already has my ex-wife's iTunes account on it. When I hook up his phone to my laptop and try syncing it to my acct it always says "syncing" and at the top of my computer "backing up LP's iPhone" but nothing happens. Please advise.

    The iphone will sync/access music with ONE computer at a time.
    Move all of your music from your old computer to your new one first, then sync.
    You can use your backup copy to move the music to the new computer.
