Trying to update apps in iTunes but wrong email keeps popping up

I just recently upgraded to Yosemite and have been trying to update two apps on my desktop (iPhoto and iMovie).
I am logged into my proper account but when I click the update button it asks me to sign in with the wrong email. I have tried logging out and back in again to no avail.
I will say that the email the it is bringing up was mine, but is an old company email that I no longer have access to.
I have tried to search for a solution but they all end with having to log out and back in which I have already tried. I am sure I can log in with the old email but I want to figure out why it is picking that one up and is not letting me change it for the future.
Thanks

Did you update your old iTunes account or create a new one ? If you updated the old one then try logging out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then you will need to continue to use the old account to download updates to its apps (or to redownload its content) - content is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it and it can't be transferred to a different account.

  • I'm trying to update my iPad 2 but an error keeps popping up after the extracting part...

    im trying to update it to OS 5.0.1 or whatever, and it gets through everything until the extracting part and an error pops up. i have the most recent iTunes, i temporarily disabled the antivirus and firewall, and i reset my whole ipad... what now!

    If you continue and you lose everything, you will be able to download most of the content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. You can read this about downloading past purchases.

    But before you continue and lose everything, try this.
    Eject your iPad, quit iTunes and restart your computer. Then launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. See if you have mutliple iPad backups showing in there. If you have multiple backups, delete all but one of them. Also check the box at the bottom that turns off auto sync .... Prevent iPods ......Click OK and Then quit iTunes.
    Connect the iPad again and launch iTunes. Right click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes and select backup. See if the iTunes will create a backup. If it does, after it finishes, click on the Summary Pane on the right and click on check for update. Try to update again.
    If it all goes OK, after you update the iOS you can back to Edit>Preferences>Devices and turn on atuo sync again - assuming that is how you want to sync.

    When trying to update  Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps?   Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    i cannot connect iTunes because it's always asking to enter passcode on iphone.
    So, i cannot make restore my iphone 6+. And then, I cann't erase "device" in icloud.
    My iphone is new. No icloud. didn't connect to itune backage.
    That's why I try to connect iTunes but it need to enter passcode.
    So, my iphone just keep "iphone is disbled-connect to iTunes".

  • I tried to update the last itunes, but the error message says there is a missing program to finish the update. But it doesn't tell what program.

    I tried to update the last itunes, but the error message says there is a missing program to finish the update, but it doesn't list what program is missing. I have never had issues in the past updating a new iTunes.

    That's perfect, thanks.

  • Installed 11.0.3 today.  Tried to update apps.  iTunes response was, "You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software."  I REALLY don't understand.  I paid for MANY applications and stole or borrowed NOTHING.

  • I tried to do a home sharing but an error keep popping up "5506"

    I tried to do a home sharing but erro "5506" keep popping up,. Please help

    I had the same problem, when switching over to iTunes 11. I downloaded the software through Apple Software Update, and when I tried opening the software, it popped up with an error message. The support forums suggest a complete uninstaall/reinstall, which I did. iTunes 11 now works without a single problem. Fair warning, tho: Back up all files pertaining to iTunes (music, videos, etc.) BEFORE uninstalling.

    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Trying to update apps on iPad, but error message reads..."account not valid in US"?

    Unable to update apps...message reads "Account not valid in US".  The iPad was purchased in Canada, but for some reason, my account address shows me in US.  How do I update to Canada?

    Change to the correct store this way.
    Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Apple ID
    Tap your ID
    Tap View Apple ID
    Enter your password
    Go to country/region in the popup window to change the store.
    Or swipe down to he bottom of the App Store in the featured tab and tap on your Apple ID. Sign out of your ID and then sign in again and see if that changes the store for you.
