App store apps won't update with changed account name...

I switched my account name about 3 months ago as the email that I was using as my account name I was going to get rid of.  The switch over seemed fine and itunes accepted the editing of my account name.  Now itunes will not allow me to update any apps that were purchased prior to the user name change for the account.  I try to get apple to reset my password but I do not get anything via email with the reset instructions.
So what has happened since the change?  I know I did not open a new account, merely edited the name on the account, but even if I opened a new account it still won't let me log into the old account or reset the password so now I am stuck with all these apps that need updating and there is nothing I can do.
Can anyone help??
Thanks

Hi - did you get an answer to this? I have the same problem.
Thanks

  • Does iTunes Connect Christmas break mean apps won't update with new folios over Christmas?

    I have 2 folios that are due to be released to my app this Christmas - both fall within the 22nd-29th window iTunes have chosen to close down.
    So even though I can publish my folios through DPS over Christmas and pre-plan my app description in iTunes accordingly - before the 22nd - will those published folios not appear in my app?
    Thanks.

    You mean updating a paid folio... don't know if that needs approving, too.
    Maybe someone else can chime in here (I have no exp in that)

  • The Apple ID has been changed on my iPad but the apps won't update with the new id and password, including the apps that came with the iPad so I can't delete and reinstall with new Apple ID

      What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password.  Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?

    Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
    You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps.

  • My apps won't update with my new apple id

    i registered my macbook with a previous apple ID and just recently made a new one and the apps that I had downloaded with my old apple ID won't update unless I use my old apple ID which I no longer have access to..i changed my apple ID on my macbook but it still won't let me update the app...the apps I need updated are pages and numbers etc.

    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 one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
    What you should have done is not create a new Apple ID, but made your new email address the primary email for your old Apple ID.
    Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID -
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    But it is too late to do that as you have used the new email address to create the new Apple ID.
    I suggest that you abandon the new Apple ID and email address and create a new email address to use with your old Apple ID.

  • IPhone apps won't update, iTunes Store won't open

    I can't figure out why my apps won't update on my iPhone. I have rebooted, deleted the apps that wouldn't update and froze (waiting) and rebooted after that. I may not have the greatest wifi connection ... I am out of town and dependent on hotel/convention center wifi. Went to App Store to reload the deleted apps (some), but same thing.  I saw a response regarding iTunes, went there...took forever for iTunes to open, it kept stating I couldn't access iTunes Store, and after hitting "okay" probably 4 times to confirm that iTunes wouldn't open...it did.  So I thought that was the problem and returned back to App Store and tried to reload just one app.  Well it's been an hour and a half or more, can't reload it. It creeps along and I thought the app was loaded, but no. I can reboot only, not reset because I am no in home like I said. This is more than "fairly frustrating". What the heck can I do?

    Do a hard reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and home button together until apple logo appears.

  • Made a new iTunes address, and added new payment details, old apps won't update because my old signin pops up! Even tho in settings on on first page it's my new name? How can I remove the old signin name even if it takes all apps paid and free with it!!

    You can't all apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase/download it.

  • Since updating my iPad to IOS 7.1.2, individual Apps won't update from with Apps.  Has anyone else had this issue?

    Thanks SerZak!  I lost my reply to your post.  But I discovered I was logged out after the update.  I logged back in and it was sorted.  I wouldn't have worked this out on my own, so thank you for you help.  Much appreciated. 

  • I have two apps on my app store that won't update. I don't need them. How can I remove them from there? Thank you!

    Hey
    I have two apps on my Mac App Store that won't update no matter what I do.
    One of them  is not even mine. It shows a weird russian email address that does not belong to me.
    The other one says "updated" but won't go away from the updates list no matter what I do (Reboots, etc).
    How can I erase them? I need niether apps.
    Thank you very much.
    Instalada = Installed & Actualizar = Update

    Hey!
    There are two things here. The first one is that the apps aren't of course hacked/pirated. The mac is of a friend of mine. She's 65 or something and has no idea on how to hack apps, plus, afaik, nobody else has access to her computer.
    Secondly, the thing is that niether app shows at the app list, and we even made a find from a terminal window, and got no results of the apps.
    It is a very strange behavoir and if somebody has a solution I'll be glad to hear it.
    BTW, She just upgraded her machine to OS X 10.8.1, I'll check if the upgrad fixed the bug.
    Thanks!!

  • Apps won't update after 8.0.2 update

    After experiencing some of the issues reported elsewhere regarding the 8.0.2 update for iPad 2, I was finally able to get it to update via iTunes.  However, now my apps won't update on the iPad 2.  They start to update and then freeze at the start. 

    I too am having some of these problems as well.
    The App Store has now become "unavailable" and two other apps are unable to communicate with their respective networks (in South Korea). Safari has become unresponsive ("Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding").  The Dolphin browser has also just become unresponsive after having worked for several days!
    The UI has become periodically sluggish in scrolling and zooming.
    I have no music or video on this iPad either and it is not broken.  I updated from 7 to 8.1, thinking any bugs would be squashed but this is clearly not the case.
    Would resetting this device help or would that simply make matters worse? This situation is really bad.  If I can not use my iPad for work, I will be forced to buy and use a Samsung notebook tablet, which I never wanted but I need something that is reliable and this is not.

    My apps won't update or install. I would push the update/install button, and it wouldn't do anything. How do I fix that?

    I would do a restore using iTunes.  This will re-install the latest iOS 6 with factory settings, then you'll have to re-enter your settings and re-install your apps.  But everything should work after that.

  • Apps won't update on iPad

    Arrrrggghhh!   My iPad is buggered. I have 36 updates waiting and none of them will update. I'm away for the holidays so can't connect to my computer.  I've tried powering off normally and doing a hard reboot (power + home) - nothing.  It shows the black bar across the bottom of the app but nothing is happening.  I've done the software update to 5.0.1.  And when I click on just one app to be updated is says that it can't be downloaded at this time. 
    Please help....

    I bought a new iPad in 2012. Everything was fine, but now two apps won't update. Message: "Unable to download application. Could not be downloaded at this time." I have 30GB free space. Affects Sketchpad Pro and Adobe Touch. The biggest problem is that I can't use the apps!!!!! I'm okay with using an older version but this update cycle has locked me out of using them at all. Yes, my iTunes is up-to-date and synched to the correct time zone.

  • My apps won't update on my iPad 1.

    My apps won't update on my iPad 1. I tried resetting the iPad and updating it on my iTunes. They say they are waiting and in the meantime I can't use those apps at all.

    Do you have a song or podcast in iTunes that did not finish downloading? If you do - finish that one first. The apps will not update until that download is complete.
    If that doesn't do it - sign out of your account - Settings>Store>Apple ID - sign out. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and sign in again and see if you can tap on one app and start the download.

  • Since iOs 6 down loaded My Apps won't update.

    Since iOs 6 down loaded My Apps won't update. I have had quite a few apps that needed to be updated when I tap the update button it says updating but nothing happens.  The apps have been sitting dark with the word "Waiting" no lines moving across them like they are updating. It has been going on for about four days I don't know what to do I? Please help I can't us these apps and I have others that need updating but I am afraid to do it?

    I just had this same problem.  Others in this discussion area suggested powering off their iPad and then powering back up.  This worked for me and now all of my apps are updated.  Hope this might help.

  • I have a 5 year old MacBook running OS X v10.5.8  Of course Apple does not provide an OS update and then other software apps won't update because the OS is obsolete. Is there a way of upgrading the hardware so the software can be made current?

I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a early 2008 iMac supposedly limited to 4 GB and noticed an improvement.
