App download notification on another Apple ID?

Hey guys!
I'm just wondering, Iread over the new App Store terms and conditions, and I think I may have misread something.
When you download an app (free or paid) on another Apple ID, does it send a notification to the email associated with the account?
I'm really confused on this. I don't know of it'll send a notification if the iDevice is recognized or not, or if it'll send a notification at all.
Just so you guys don't take this the wrong way, my friend and I exchange our Apple IDs, and go through the "Purchased" section and download any apps that interest us. We don't keep our credit cards and stuff on there, so please don't take this the wrong way and think I'm trying to buy something with his money, or vice versa. The notification thing is simply confusing me.
So if I download an app on his account from the "Purchased" section, will it send him a notification? I haven't received any emails yet. Thanks!

AFAIK - you will not get a notification because the app has been previously purchased and you are simply downloading it again.
I have never received a notification when I redownload an app and I have done it quite a few times. When you both download the app on your own iPads - you are in effect using the "download to as many iDevices as you want to" that is allowed by Apple if you are using the same Apple ID/iTunes account.
However - as you both know - you are doing this not in the way it is intended to work. The free downloads are supposed to be available to the owner of the ID/account that was used to purchase the app and to that ID/account only.
There is something in the iTunes T&C that says something about switching to another ID on an iPad and not being able to switch ID's again for 3 months - something to that effect - but frankly I can't remember if that is for apps or for media.
I found it and it refers to automatic downloads. You can read this yourself.

    hello im having a problem in appstore my apple id have login but when i go to update menu and im updating an app so it came another apple id , please help me for this situation (using 6.1.5, iPod Touch 4th Gen)

    You need to delete that application and then download it from your Apple ID, which may require repurchasing a paid application.

    Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

    Hi julia151,
    I would first use this article to make sure any extra Apple IDs were not accidentally created when signing up for one of Apple's services:
    Apple ID: Finding your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625
    If you can't locate one, try using this article to delete and redownload your app:

  • App Store error: "This update is for an app downloaded with a different apple id"

    When trying to update PopClip, I get the following two errors:
    "This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again"
    After clicking OK, I receive the next error:
    "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)"
    This app was not downloaded using a different Apple ID. I have been able to update other apps successfully.
    Any ideas?

  • How do you update an apps on iPad when it says "this update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID.  I have tried both mine and my husbands ID and it still won't work?

    I have tried to update an apps on my mini iPad but it says this update is for an app downloaded with a diffrent Apple ID.  Sign in with that Apple ID and try again.  I have tried both mine and my husbands ID and it still does not work.

    We'll you can either do as Niel suggested, delete it and download it again with one of the two Apple ID's, or if you want to be sure that one of the two you actually bought the app, look in the purchased tab of the App Store when you are signed into your ID and see if the app shows up in there and if not, then sign into your husband's ID and see if the app shows up with his ID.
    After you you figure out who actually bought the app, use that ID to update it. If it still doesn't work, try signing out of that ID, restart the iPad, sign in again and try to update again.

  • Error: This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again.

    I am trying to update iphoto but I have been receiving the error message "This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again." All other IDs I have had NO LONGER work or aren't activated. I deleted the current verison of iphoto, but it still won't work, so now I have no iphoto whatsoever...any ideas? my current ID is my ONLY ID I have.

    Apple Closed all other accounts and the logins DO NOT WORK!
    Apple would only have closed an account if you called Apple and formally requested that be done. Otherwise, the account is still there.
    I was able to delete my old apps and redownload them onto my computer which switch the Apple ID it was under, but I am not having the same luck with iPhoto.
    Those would have been free apps that you "bought" again using your new Apple ID. iPhoto is a paid app and Apple will not transfer it to a different Apple ID.

  • I deleted an app from my mac but it still says that i need an update but i can do this because i downloaded it from another apple id

    what to do?

    Ignore it unless you actually now want the application. In that case redownload it then update it by logging into the App Store with the other Apple ID.

  • Desktop App was purchased by another apple id now it will not renew

    I Photo was registered by another Appl ID, now I cannot renew or update the app. I have deleted the app I still can not repurchase or renew the app? Any suggestions?

    Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
    1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept it and the other iWork/iLife applications into your Apple ID, do so.
    2. Move them out of the Applications folder(they may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download them for free from their individual product pages. If you're asked to buy them, see #3.
    3. Click here, contact Apple, and wait for a response.
    4. Buy them.

  • "This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again." But i've only ever had one apple i.d ever .... HELP!

    I bought this computer brand new from the Apple Store and when i brought it home a few apps needed to be updated. when i tried it kept telling me that another Apple I.d was used. Ive only had one Apple I.d EVER.

    What are the apps that needed updating? What app is asking for a different Apple ID?
    SInce it's new, I would return it. It's starting to sound used.
    BTW, your MBP isn't running on iOS 7.

  • How to update a free app downloaded on a different apple id

    I got the Twitter app on one Apple id, then set up family sharing with another. i am now signed into that other account, but I can't update the app. I tried deleting it to redownload, but the App Store won't let me redownload it.

    When you get MBP C and start it up for the first time you will be given the option to transfer data or not. You can transfer data from another Mac or from a backup such as Time Machine. The former requires that you be able to connect the two computers directly together either by Ethernet cable or by having both connected to a local Ethernet network. You can use wireless, but it's very slow compared to Ethernet, so I don't recommend wireless.
    If you expect to perform the transfer from a Time Machine backup, then be sure to perform a backup of MBP B just before using it to transfer data to the new MBP C.
    This same process can be used from MB A provided it is running Snow Leopard or later.
    Also, see Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.

  • How to migrate iPhone apps and data to another apple ID

    OK, Hopefully someone can help me out with this situation:  I have had my daughter's iPhone associated with my Apple ID for several years now because A) She was too young to have an Apple ID of her own, and B) I wanted to be able to monitor her App Store purchases and such. Well now that she is older and has proven herself to be a responsible young lady, I want to get her her own Apple ID, as she will be getting a new McBook as a graduation present.  My question is this: Is it possible to migrate all the apps and data from her phone to a new Apple ID without having to download all those apps again?  I backup her phone to my computer on a regular basis.  Any help is appreciated.

    hold on a second. i went thru the same situation with my daughter, almost exactly as she got a new macbook pro and a new iphone 4. she had an ipod touch 4g that she synced to my macbook pro and apple id for apps. with wjosten's (the guy who wrote the article randers4 linked) help we transferred purchases from her ipod touch to her new itunes on her new macbook with her new apple id. except for those apps that she already had she started all fresh. i figured at some point she'll be moving out and off to college or whatever so might as well start all fresh but she didn't want to lose data she had on some of the old apps. the only issue is when there is an update for the old apps on her new macbook pro i have to sign in on my apple id to update them. i don't know if this info will be of any help or not, but just throwing it out there.

  • What do I do when I can't download an app Becouse it says it was downloaded by a different Apple ID?? Help please!

    Ok so when I want to download an app, for instance, Instagram, I had it before but then I deleted it and I changed apple ids now I want the app back but it won't let me Becouse it says I downloaded it on another Apple ID. What do I do? Do I restart my phone or what? Help me pleasee

    Did you install it yourself are somebody else for you?
    If you installed them yourself, but do not remember which AppleID you used, try all AppleIDs you might have used in turn.
    If somene else set up your Mac for you, ask the person to reinstall it. If you bought the mac second hand, the previous owner needs to contact Apple to transfer the iLife apps. If that is not possible, delete the apps that you cannot update and buy them using your AppleID.
