After updating to iOS 5.0.1 iPhone 4 having some Apple ID issues on apps

I upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 and when I went to log in with my Apple ID it told me that I needed to have an email instead of a name for my Apple ID. So I went online and updated my ID to my email but now my phone says that I have apps that need to update but it still has my previous ID before I moved it to my email. I have tried going into settings and logging out and back in to the iTunes store but there is no change on those apps. For new apps I'm not having any issues at all so it looks like previous downloads before I updated.

Have you tried this? Did/does it work? My problem is that I can no longer access my "old account".  When I use the IForget utility, I get nowhere using either the security questions or email reset instructions route. I wonder if the account is the same, the user ID just changes, but the old ID is not retained i any practical way, and therefore cannot not be summoned when running a security/password check. Does that make sense? So frustrated Right now since I cannot download my purchased apps and music.

    Hello babichanjacob
    Change how it syncs by enabling Manually manage music and videos, then you can drag and drop the music that you want on your iPhone. Revert it back to test to see if that resolves the issue.

  • TS3694 After updating to iOS 6.1.2, iPhone 5 got problems which are lock screen, Sounds, syncing iTunes?

    After updating to iOS 6.1.2, iPhone 5 can't connect to iTunes. When i am trying to connect, then i can connect. After secods, the phone is not connecting with iTunes again. Then Automatically connect to iTunes again by itself.  
    My sound works with headphones, the alarm works, ringer works but can not listen to any music/videos without headphones plugged in.
    Then lock screen bugs; bypass fumble. When I start to open the iPhone and swiping is heavily to do on the slide to unlock. What's the matter with it?

    firstly thanks for quick reply.
    sorry sir,
    i am confused in last line you wrote,
    " This will erase the phone but you will be given an option at the end to restore to an existing backup, if you have one."
    i did not understand last sentence  -  if i have one? you mean to say if i have data or not in my iphone?
    i have many pictures, messages, contacts which are very much important.
    so will it be all restore and will be backup again in my iphone if i restore?
    i am extremely sorry to interrupt you again.
    waiting for your quick reply
    thanks and regards,

  • After updating to iOS 7 for my iPhone 5, my phone is now in constant vibrate mode.

    After updating to iOS 7 for my iPhone 5 last week, my sounds went away. Phone is randomly showing the ringer silent graphic without me touching the phone or putting it into this mode. The volume settings under sounds are on, notifications are all correct also, the vibrate switch on the side is NOT in the vibrate position. After pouring over threads for the past week, one suggestion fixed it for a day, but it's now reverted back to vibrate only mode!  I went to settings----general-----accessibility----under hearing switched mono audio off, like I said, fixed the problem for a day, but now that no longer works! It really seems to be a bug with the software update, which the the 7.0.3 did not fix. Help, would like my phone to work normally again. Suggestions?

    Hi chuckrabaw,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like the iPhone is searchiong for a network. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. There are a few steps listed in this article you did not mention trying, they may be able to help the issue.

    AFTER UPDATING THE IOS 8 IN MY IPHONE THE PHONE MEMORY REDUCED TO 5.5 GB WHICH IS VERY LOW COMPARED TO 8GB. IWANT DEGRADE IT TO  IOS 7.1.2

    You must have upgraded the device directly through WIFi, restore your device via ITUNES and thats gonna work, it will reduce the space occupied by the new software installation

    Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated.  Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands.
    Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-contact when I bought this phone and added contacts from my Blackberry and MS Outlook on the phone.  Many duplicated at that time and Apple said the only fix was to go through each one and decide to keep or delete.  I really don't want to do that again!

    I had this problem while I had iOS 5.1.1 installed for many months. Fortunately I only have about 150 contacts and only about half of them duplicated. I found that my problem was the way thing were set up in Outlook. I removed all of the duplicates and corrected everything in Outlook contacts (ignoring the address book) and have not had the problem since, Hope this helps.

    After updating to ios 6 on my iphone 4, my mail,contact disappeared,can anyone help

    My suggestion:
    Reset your device: Settings>>General>>Reset>>Reset All Ajustments.
    It will restore to all company ajustments, but it will not delete anything at all.
    After that, do not Sign In Facebook, I see many people got problems after Sign In Facebook.
    In my device, I do not fill last names, I just fill names in "First Name".
    Another question: Are you sync your contacts with Outlook or iCloud? I have suggested another one to do not sync with Outlook and, in iTunes:
    1.In resume, mark "Backup in iCloud"
    2. open Information and unmark the "Sync Contacts With". roll down the page and, in "Advance" field, unmark everything.
    3.Sync your device again.
    It probably will help you.
    Good Luck

  • HT4623 I have an Iphone 4s factory unlocked. I got At&t again and after updating to iOS 6.0 my iphone its not working propertly.

    I have an Iphone 4s factory unlocked. I got At&t again and after updating to iOS 6.0 my iphone its not working propertly. I dont have the carriers option nor Im able to face time using cellular data. Any suggestions!?

    Do you have an AT&T carrier file number showing? The only time you can use Facetime on AT&T cellular is if you are using one of their Shared Data plans. While they have not locked your phone, it appears their carrier file is in control of your device when you have the AT&T SIM card in there.

  • After updating to IOS 6 in both iPhones and iPads I have difficulty to update applications, since I cannot switch from US store to my ID store which is in Greece.

    After updating to IOS 6, I cannot update apps, it produces a MSG you cannot use your ID in the US store. my apple store is in Greece how can I change this from iPhone/ IPad?

    I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming.  So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on.  But the ipad is a different story.  I have the music and artist but not one playlist  I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this. 
    Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
    I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z.  Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac.  Which I do talk highly of all the time.  But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
    I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not.   Any ideas?
    Thanks Al

  • After updating to ios 6.0 my iphone doesnt notify of text messages

    After updating to ios 6 my iphone doesnt notify of text messages

    Verify the Messages notifications are enabled.
    Settings > Notifications > Messages > Alert Style > Set to anything other then None, although Banners go away automatically.
    Also double check here that the Badge App Icon is enabled, so you'll see that red number with the amount of messages waiting to be viewed. You'll also have an option here to View in Lock Screen.

  • Why can't i connect to wifi after updating to iOs 6 on my iPhone 4s

    After updating to iOs 6 when I try to connect to my wifi network it pops up with the apple website and login and says the page you requesed cant be found on the pop up.??
    Confused.

    The Apple Support person walked me thru this.  If you have the classic 'greyed out' wifi problem with your iPhone 4s.  Very easily fixed:
    Read all instructions before starting:
    1.  Try to toggle on/off airplane mode check.
    2.  Try the old turn on/off trick.  Check.
    3.  Try resetting Network Settings.  Settings > General > Reset Network Settings  Check.
    4.  Ensure your phone is backed up to iCloud before proceeding.  Very important you do this.  Check.
    5.  Wipe your phone.  Settings > General > Reset All Settings.  Keep in mind this will wipe your phone but you have that iCloud back up.
    6.  Check if wifi is working.  No, then no prolbem:  You have the option to have your 4s fixed which is probably out of warranty.  No deal?  Ok, you have the option of purchasing a new phone?  Still no deal?  Proceed to next step if these options are no good and you decide to live without wifi.
    7.  Restore your phone from the iCloud.  Oh, you don't have wifi.  Then you can't restore your phone.
    This is where i got dropped off the bus.
