I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.

All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

I had apps from 2 different apple ids. When I synched my ipod touch with my computer, I lost apps from other id. It backed them up to my computer. How do I access those apps and put them back on ipod touch?

I had apps from 2 different apple ids on my son's ipod touch. When I synched it to my computer, it backed the apps from other id onto my computer and deleted them from the ipod. How do I find the apps and how do I put them back on the ipod touch?

Apps can be re-downloaded, and you won't be charged again for a purchsased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.
All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. Apps cannot be transferred to or combined with another iTunes account.

If I re-install my podcast app with a different apple ID will I lose all the media from the older one ?

I have the Podcast app installed on my iPhone with a lot if free media content downloaded.
Now I need to re-install the app with a different apple ID.
Will I lose all my content by doing do ?
Please help. I don't want to lose anything.
Please let me know if there is a work-around.

You don't really want a new Apple Account (which is what you are describing) - all of your iTunes purchases will still be tied to the old Apple Account, all of your iCloud info will be under that old Account, all of your Messages will be under that old Account.
Why not just to to Manage your Apple ID and edit your Apple ID to the new email you want it to be? You cannot edit an Apple ID using an Apple Domain email address (@me.com, @mac.com, @iCloud.com), but if your current ID is not using one of those type of email addresses, then changing it is the way you want to go. That way, everything stays with the Apple ID since it is the same Apple account.
Just be sure to sign out of all apps on the device (iCloud, Messages, iTunes & App Store, FaceTime) before you change it.
To EDIT your current Apple ID at Manage your Apple ID go to: Apple - My Apple ID

The Early 2011 MacBook Pro shipped with Snow Leopard, so these are not the Mac App Store versions of iLife, they are the boxed software versions.
If they are in an iWork '09 folder take them out and let them loose in the Apps folder. Then reindex your HDD.

Re-associating previously purchased iTunes apps, etc with different Apple ID?

, I want to get a brand new Apple ID to replace my current MobileMe address which I will convert to iCloud just for transition purposes and until my contacts update to my new email. I want to be able to ultimately eliminate my old .mac and .me address altogether and never see it again (divorce situation - see previous post)
Anyway, a snag, of course, is all my iTunes purchases. I want to benefit from iCloud wireless syncing but all my apps (Mac AppStore too) are tied to my current .me AppleID which can't be simply changed.
Since all the apps, music, etc, reside on my computer (which has to have the long & short name changed too) - would the following work:
1. Backup iPhone 4 and iPad 2
2. Create a new username on my computer (the name I intend to have as my only name once all is smoothly transferred)
3. Create new iCloud account with new .me address
4. Configure iPhone 4 and iPad to associate with new .me address (where exactly?)
5. Signed in as new username, Open a new iTunes library on my computer and import everything (apps, music, shows, etc) then consolidate it to be housed only in the new username
***also load to affiliate with new computer username (where?) the last iPhone 4 and iPad 2 backups
6. Re-sync (wired) iPhone and iPad to new library.
Will my apps, etc then be "in the cloud" and associated with my new .me address so I can wirelessly sync them as if I never changed my name??
What specific steps should I take and in what order should they be?
And if this doesn't work, any ideas that will? Same question then for Mac app store purchases.
I just want MY iDentity and not have to see my married name all over my iPhone, iPad and iMac, everyday. [email protected] rather than [email protected]
THANK YOU!

Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
Then repeat step 4.
6. Select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
7. Launch iTunes and select
Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
from the menu bar.
8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.
9. Contact Account and Billing Support on this page:
Apple - Mac App Store - Contact Support

Is it because of my purchased apps using a different apple id on my iphone that causes crash?

     i purchased 3 apps for my iphone on the apps store using my friend apple id because i dont have a credit card. is that the reason why all of my apss are crashing all day? i have tried the "delete and install again" of my free apps and it worked temporarily. i have also updated all of y apps except for one, i cannot update because that is the one that i have purchased and it is asking for the password of my friend's apple id. and i forgot what her password is. but anyway is that the reason why my apps are crashing??
    also i have experienced, when i delete and install again free apps, the free apps started to work again. but when i try to use the apps that i have purchased, every app crashes again.
     can someone help pleeeaaaseee??

Apps acquired via different ID's would have no affect on the device crashing.
Try the basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide, reset, restart, restore.

I bought a $20 App Store Gift Card from Australia and i can't do in-app purchases because my apple id was created in Sri Lanka.

This is what happened: I bought a $20 App store gift card so i can get some gems on my Clash of Clans Account, once i entered the code i went into Clash of Clans and tried purchasing $10 worth of gems. But it says to change into the Sri Lankan Store but when i went to enter the code it said to change the store to Australia. I tried doing it by creating a new Apple ID. Once i went to the billing information i didn't enter my credit card details but i entered my Gift Card Code, although it said it was invalid. I did see i had $20 Credit Balance in my Apple ID. PLS HELP! Reply as soon as possible.

All iTunes gift cards are country-specific, so an Australian iTunes gift card can only be redeemed and used in Australia on an Australian iTunes account. And whilst you are in Australia you can only use the Australian store, the store's terms of use include having to be in a country.
Also all apps (and only other content from the stores) are tied to the account that bought/downloaded it, so only the account that bought an app can do in-app purchases in it - so the new account that you've created won't be able to do in-app purchases in that game as you downloaded by a different account. If you haven't spent any of the gift card on the new account then you could update your old account to have your Australian billing address on it and try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will unredeem the card or transfer its amount to that account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

TS1424 My app store shows different apple Id. I changed the ID in general settings under app store. Still no changes. Can't update apps now

Apps store on my iPad shows different apple ID. I changed the ID under general settings for apps store, but it didn't help. Still see different ID when entering the store. Now I can't update apps and resetting iPad doesn't help. What to do?

Use the correct login/password that the app was purchased with.

Mac App store update different apple ID

So when i want to update an app from the mac app store it asks for my apple ID password, however the apple id email is an email i have never seen or used in my life, and i can not change it to my actual apple ID email that i used for all my apple products. in other words i do not know where this random email came from. anybody else with same issue? any tips are appreciated!

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.

Can multiple users access apps purchased from another Apple ID account?

I have several iMacs under my control. I need to find a way to download iLife using one Apple ID, so I can have all users on each machine to also have access to the updated iLife suite.
Is it possible for other users to access an app that was purchased from another Apple ID. If one purchases an app, does the machine allow access to all the users?
(I know those two last sentences are redundant, but I want to make sure everyone understands problem).
I've read countless articles on this, and can't seem to catch a break from the problem.

If this is in a school of some type or a corporate learning center with multipple Mac computers you should contact Apple directly and ask them for help in getting a version that can be installed on multiple Mac with out have to down the updates to each computer individually.

Can't connect to iTunes Store for in-app purchase from one apple ID to another?

I downloaded an app on ID1. I tried to then sign out and sign in with a new ID2 to do an in-app purchase. I got an error message saying that I couldn't connect to iTunes store. I read the message boards and found that you can't do this since the apps are linked to the apple ID that was logged in when you downloaded the app. So I logged out of apple ID2 and logged back to the original ID1 to do the in-app purchase, but I still get the same error message saying that the purchase can't be completed and that it couldn't connect to the iTunes store. Is there a fix to this???

How to replace an App purchased by another Apple ID?

There is a free app purchased from an abondoned Apple ID while other apps are from the current Apple ID. So, I want to download the free app again with the current Apple ID. But there are data with the app, so deleting it and download again means the data will be erased.
How can I replace the app using the current Apple ID and retain all data? (I have Time Machine backup).

You cannot.

I meant after changing the Apple ID, I purchase it again. It keeps on asking me to update it with the initial Apple ID.
You need to Delete the Old App and then get it again using Your Current Apple ID.

I made In-app purchase (replenishable) and app subsequently crashed and my purchased credits were lost. The 3rd party app support from Gameloft told me to get a refund from Apple. How do I get a refund from Apple?

There is no specifc form, per se. You're just being instructed to contact the iTunes Store. Go here:

and follow the instructions to report your issue to the iTunes Store and request a refund.
