App store account 2 login names, different access rights possible?

Hi I'm the technical bod of my team and deal with keeping our computers up to date.
Is there any way I can have an "update only" account for the app store?
It would be great if I didn't have to ask someone else to log in every time I need to
update an app we've purchased whilst not requiring finance to give me access to our credit card info....

Sorry, there isn't. You need the Apple ID and password for the App Store account used to purchase the app to update it. There's now way to have a secondary Apple ID attached. You don't need the Apple ID for updates to OS X, but for apps there's no way around needing purchasing Apple ID.
Your company may want to look into the Volume Purchase Program:
http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
that allows purchase and distribution of apps without needing a credit card tied to the individual accounts.
Regards.

Go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores touch AppleID, sign off, and sign on with the proper AppleID.

Welcome to the Apple community Todc.
Besides signing out of the account, you will need to delete the apps on the device that were purchased under that ID.

If you log into a different App Store account, will that change the photos and videos on the device?

I have an ipod touch 5, and I want to switch App Store accounts. But I don't want to lose my pictures. Are these systems separate (will the pictures be unaffected if I switch App Store accounts)?

Note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

APP Store account sign in

When I go to the App Store a different (old) e-mail account shows up and I do not have the password. I cannot change to the current Apple account and as a result cannot use the App Store. How I can I get the App Store account updated to use?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
So you will need to recover the old Apple ID or delete the content and buy it again with the new Apple ID. Apple Account Security can help recover the old Apple ID.
Apple ID security issues -
Call Apple Care and ask for the Account Security Team. They can assist you with your issue.

Do anyone know if its possible to have two app store accounts under one EIN number? Because you cannot have two under one social secrity number

Chance app store account country

I've moved to france, but my app store account is from brazil. I've already updated my adress and phone number but I still don't have access to the french app store. How can I do it?

You will need to contact iTunes Support, perhaps even in Australia, and ask them to zero balance your account so that you can make the change.

I changed the country from US to Mexico in my App Store Account. Now I can´t reinstall iLife apps onto my Macbook. Please help

I changed the country from US to Mexico in my App Store Account. Now I can´t reinstall iLife apps onto my Macbook. When I try to download them, a message says that they are available in my purchased apps, but they don't appear under that menu. Please help

The issue is that you purchased the apps in the US app store, not in the Mexican App Store.
If you set your App Store back to US, then you should be able to access your purchases from teh US Store.

HT2534 How do I change my App Store account

Hello, my father has recently bought me an iPod. It is used. In conclusion to that, I would like to know how to change the App Store account to a different email and password so I can acess it.

Tap "settings" then "store" - delete the existing apple ID, then add a new one

Two phones, one music library, one App Store account

We have one App Store account that we use for two iPhones. We want to sync both phones to the same music library, and to do that we set up two OS X login accounts on the computer that has our iTunes library. The music library is shared between the accounts using an alias. We each have our own MobileMe account that keeps our computers in sync with our iPhone's address book and calendars.
I would call this setup pretty hokey. Maybe it's more complicated than we necessary? It allows us to buy apps just once for two phones, keep our contacts and calendars separate and personal and in sync with our computers, and makes it convenient to put whatever music we want on each of the phones.
We will be getting new 4S phones and iCloud and upgrading to Lion, so changes are on the horizon anyway. I am game to change the setup. Does anyone have advice on a better way to set this all up. I imagine iCloud introduces some new possibilities, and I suspect the way we are doing it now is hokier than necessary anyway.
I'm not interested in guesses about what might work. I'm hoping someone who actually knows what will work can save me from trial and error. :-)
Thanks!
Jon

I did some searches before my post, but actually found some things AFTER I made my post that sounded encouraging. If I understand correctly, we should be able to continue sharing the AppleID we use to buy apps and music on all of our devices. We can configure our personal devices and computers to use separate personal iCloud accounts, but somehow share the music and apps with each other. I guess I'm still not clear on how it'll work. :-)

Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back

Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back.
Im in u.s., was searching for app, was asked to change store, i did, tried downloading canadian app, was informed i had to purchase from u.s. store (is this true, even though it is a free download) then it left me there without instructions on how to return to u.s. store.
Now ipad is stuck in canadian store. How do i return to u.s. store?

You have to find an app that is only available in the US store.
If the problem is on an iPad, etc:
Go to a search engine (like google) on the iPad/iPhone Safari and type in abc app download. Then find find a link that says iTunes.apple.com/us/app/abc-player. Tap it, and it will access the App Store. Eventually, a box should pop up that asks you if you want to switch to the US store. Confirm that, and it should bring you back to the US store. You don't need to download the abc app.
If on a computer:
I haven't confirmed it yet, but I believe there is a flag icon at the bottom of the iTunes Store main page similar to the one at the bottom of this page that you can use to change your country.

HT2534 How do I use my Itunes and App store account without credit card info

Consolidating App store accounts

I originally created an App store account using email address #1. I made purchases on that account. When I signed up for me.com another account was created. I did not notice that this was the account in which I purchased a couple of Apps. So, I now have two accounts both with purchases in them. Is it possible to consolidate these two accounts - so that I only have to access one account to do all upgrades?

You can contact -> iTunes store support and ask them to consolidate you old iTunes account with your new .me account.

Does the balance of a iTunes Gift Card that is "loaded" to my iTunes ? App Store account have an expiry date ?

Does the balance of a iTunes Gift Card that is "loaded" to my iTunes Store / App Store account have an expiry date ?
I know that the actual card/s have an expiry date, but when I load the card value into my iTunes Store / App Store account, will this balance have an expiry date ?
I can't find an answer.

UPDATE
Last night, approx.11:00PM I sent a "Express Lane" enquiry regarding my question.
I received the following e-mail back at 11:30PM:
I have read through your email and understand that you would like to know if there is any expiry time for Store Credit on your account. My name is ******* and I thank you for letting me help you with this.
That is a very good question *******, and the answer is once on your account there is no time frame required for you to spend it. It does not collect interest, but it will certainly be there for you, ready to be used when you find something that interests you.
Thank you for choosing iTunes as your source of entertainment, *******. If you have any more questions feel free to contact me as I am only an email away. Have a great day!
I have removed the names and highlighted the answer to the question I asked the forum.
