App Store accounts messed up

Hi. I have a Japanese and German App Store account, but it seems that there is a bug preventing me from updating my apps with the correct account. I have downloaded several apps for free with my Japanese account but if I try to update them, my iPhone asks me for the password of the German account although I am logged in with the Japanese one (confirmed also in the Settings). I definitely downloaded the apps with the Japanese account which can also be checked under Info in iTunes. If I enter the German password it says that I don't have a previous license and that I have to buy the app again (which is really weird because it says so even for free apps). What should I do? I don't want to redownload the app with the other account because I have also downloaded apps which have been temporarily free, so I may be charged for this update using an other account. And no: these are no cracked apps! Legally downloaded in the App Store.

Yes I know, the thing is that when I enter the correct password for the account it's prompting I get the message that I don't have a previous license for the update and that I have to buy the app. Although I already have bought/downloaded it with the OTHER account. This message appears for all free and temporarily free apps. So the App Store contradicts itself! It forces me to login with a certain account only to realize that this account is the wrong one!

    I have to sign in and out between one and the other constantly and i dont know what to do anymore becouse now i can't update software on either, it keeps on poping up "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." and im pretty sure im on the right account.

    Sorry. Apple's policy states that accounts cannot be merged > Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

  • How do I unsync an app store account?

    I recently registered and setup an iPad for a friend. Recently, her apps have started to appear in my auto downloads and it wants me to update them. When the updates appear, it asks me for her password. I obviously don't have it, so I hit cancel. Then it pops up my app store account and asks me to update my apps. It always does successfuly, but it still keeps her apps unupdated.
    Basically, I just want to remove her apps and her account from my iPad altogether. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    u just have to reset all settings and then setup ur ipad with ur apple id
    settings>general>reset> reset all settings
    and it will restart with a fresh setup u won't loose any data or media
    and removing apps
    Press down your finger on the app you want to delete and hold it down.
    The app will start Jiggling then just click the X and it will remove the app

  • HT1918 How to remove my credit card from my App Store Account?

    How I remove my credit card from my Apps Store Account??
    I want to avoid unwanted purcharses from my nephew.... Someone can help me?
    I know it's possible to "upgrade" one account adding credit card, I can not find a way to remove it.

    you can't from the iPad.
    Go to iTunes on a computer, log in with your apple ID and select 'account'.
    After that , select 'payment method' and select 'none'.
    Good luck
    PS: reply if you're having trouble. You use mac or windows?

  • How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    How can I delete my old app store account from update on my IMac

    All items that you download from the iTunes store are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account can download updates to its apps.
    If you are referring to apps from the Mac App Store then you will be better off asking in the Using Mac App Store forum (this is the iTunes Store forum).
