App store showing wrong apple id when trying to update but correct id in settings

App store is showing the wrong apple id when trying to do an update but correct id in settings. How do I fix?

I had the same problem. After syncing my phone, my husband's ID was popping up for app updates. Apparently they were downloaded through his account to begin with, so deleting them and redownloading fixed my problem.

    app store shows incorrect apple id when i attempt to download updates.  I have tried signing out of iTunes in the settings and re-logging in as suggested but this didn't fix the problem in the app store

    Sorry, but didn't see anything there that would help me precisely. Thanks for your input.  my apple ID is my email address which ends in .net.  My apple ID listed on the app update ends in .com.  I've confirmed in the settings/store area and it's correct there.  I'm still at a loss.

  • App store showing wrong apple ID

    So, when I try to "update all" in my App store, it shows Apple ID & asks for password, as usual. The problem is, the Apple ID that is showing, is wrong. When I go under settings to "view Apple ID", it is correct. Any advice on how to correct this? Uugh...

    There is nothing to Fix... They are Not your Apps... Get them using Your Apple ID if you want them.

  • When I attempt to download from the app store, the wrong apple id pre-populates.  How do I get the correct apple id to auto-fill so I can put in the right password and download apps?

    When my wife bought this ipad 18 months ago, she (or the store) set up an Apple ID that had the extension @me.com.  She never wrote down the password that was created.  Neither of us knew how to change the password and retrieve or create the new one.  When we started actually trying to download apps, this became a problem.  She called customer support before the first year of ownership ended, and they created a new Apple ID.  This ID works; we can go to the support site and log in with it, yada yada.  However, when I go to the app store and want to get a new app or update an existing app, the Apple ID login field prepopulates with her original ID, which is no good to us.  I can't find any way of putting in the new, valid Apple ID in this login field.  Why doesn't the app store give me the option to change the Apple ID this device wants to use?  How do I change this setting?  I'm in a time crunch, and we need to be able to download and use a few apps for some business purposes.

    settings -> iTunes & App Store
    click on apple ID listed there
    select Sign Out
    sign in with the proper account
    from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

  • My app store shows wrong id and it is greyed out so I cannot change it to install updates

    I am trying to install updates from the App store.
    However, when I try to sign in, the dialogue box shows an old and wrong email address as my apple id.
    Since the email is greyed out, I cannot change it to the correct current one.
    I have checked that I am at the right location etc, restarted several times but no success.
    Please advise.
    Thanks

    Do you recognize the wrong ID, or is it unknown to you?

  • "Update unavailable with this Apple ID" when trying to update or re-download FREE apps purchased with this same ID

    This morning I tried to update my apps through the app store. Many of them updated, but some (Soundcloud, Evernote, Viber, and IMDB) gave me the error message "Update unavailable with this Apple ID"
    I removed those apps and tried to re-install them, only to receive the same message. I then logged out of the App Store and logged back in but this did not make a difference.
    These apps are not showing up on my "purchased" list.
    I have only ever had one Apple ID, and have been using and updating these free apps for some time now.
    Any idea how I can resolve this? Searching the forums has not helped at all.

    Same problem here. IMDB, TWC (weather app) Goodreader… Started this morning, out of the blue.
    After deleting IMDB (hoping to reinstall), that app cannot be installed again! Trying to, gets you the same “Update unavailable” error.
    Also, the problematic apps are not listed in my “Purchased” list (which is the real problem I think).
    I also tried through iTunes. Same problem.
    Can someone confirm that the problem apps are not showing in your purchased list?
    I don’t know if it’s on Apple’s side (in which case it will get fixed) or on my side (meaning I will have to do something).
    (I contacted Apple, waiting for reply.)

  • Mac App Store Shows Wrong Firmware Update

    My Mac App Store on my Macbook Air shows an update for the following firmware:
    MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.9
    Obviously that shouldn't be there since I'm on a MacBook Air. The real issue other than that showing up in the list is that checking for updates times out on the server, sometimes with the timeout 1001 error, and I'm not able to get updates for any other apps, including iTunes.
    Does anyone know how to reset the app store so that it can figure out what kind of laptop I'm using? I tried looking for the com.apple.appstore... file that I saw in the forum somewhere but there was no such file under /Library/Preferences to remove.
    I did manually download that MacBook Pro 2.9 update and ran it to see if that would clear it, but it didn't. (And it wouldn't install, obviously, because it doesn't work on my system.)
    I did download iTunes 11 and installed it outside the App Store, which worked, and I also updated my MacBook firmware to the latest. And finally, I put on the 10.8.2 supplemental package manually, but none of this has fixed the app store.
    Anyone know what to do?

    Fixed my own problem after some searching. I deleted the software update file with this command:
    sudo find / -type f -name com.apple.SoftwareUpdate\* -exec rm -f {} \;
    Then after that it all worked fine, including removal of the MacBook Pro firmware update.

  • 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.

  • How do I get rid of my sons apple ID when trying to update apps

    My Apple ID is in the system/Itunes/App Store/Apple ID section and I've tried signing out, but when I go back to my app store and try to update apps, it still has his apple ID there..

    So tap "Cancel" when his ID pops up and then apps your apps that have updates should prompt you to enter your Apple ID and password.

  • App Store shows wrong number of updates

    Every time I open the App Store on my iPhone 6 it shows 20 updates available. I touch the "updates" button, and all the updates disappear. Next time I come back it will do the same. Updated to 8.0.2 but no joy.  What's up with this?

    Turned out that the problem was that my old iPhone 4 was still registered with the same iTunes account. Once I went to appleid.apple.com and deauthorized the 4, I started to get the correct number of updates in the iPhone 6 App Store.

  • App Store cant verify the computer when trying to log in

    When I try to log in to App Store on my MacBook Pro, to update to OS X YOSEMITE, it says: "Failed to authenticate your device or PC. Contact Customer Support for assistance." How do I solve this?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no improvement, continue.
    Step 2
    Reset your computer’s PRAM.
