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.

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.

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.

IPhone 4 app store shows incorrect apple id when I attempt to download updates. I can log into iTunes ok as it shows the correct ID

iPhone 4 app store shows incorrect apple id when I attempt to download updates. I can log into iTunes ok as it shows the correct ID. How to I change the ID in the ID/password dialog box.

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?

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.

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 has wrong apple id

I am unable to update any apps. The AppleID is my old email. I've chenged everything in my AppleId management screen, including my rescue email. I can't figure out where the old email address is being stored. I've signed out of everything, signed back in. I deleted y iCloud and signed in again. Where is this old email hidden?

Try going to the App Store, clicking on Account in the upper right below your name, sign in and view your account. At the bottom there is a reset button. Click it and see if that helps.

App Store with wrong Apple Id

Everywhere on my iTouch and my computer I have the same AppleId. It's only when I go to update my apps then I get a message that I need to sign into iTunes, which I am, and it brings up an old AppleId. There's no way to retrieve the password and that e-mail account for me has been gone for years. What do I do to get the AppStore on the same page as everything else? How come it's now asking me to sign into iTunes Store?
Details:
iTouch
iOS6

Delete the applications and then download them from the correct Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

Mac App Store update: right Apple ID but wrong user account

My Mac App Store updates get associated to the wrong user account but the correct Apple ID.
I live in Germany and have an iMac and a MacBook Pro, both purchased under Snow Leopard and now running Lion 10.7.2. Just after upgrading to Lion I "purchased" a free App (BibleReader 5.0.0). This morning I logged into my wife's user account on the MacBook Pro, and the App Store icon flagged an update. I switched to my user account and was surprised to see that the update wasn't flagged there. By listing my purchases I did suceed in finding an "update" button for BibleReader, but pressing it resulted in a (German) error message whch translates as "An update is available for another account. Please log in with the account you used to purchase the App". But that is what I had just done.
Intrigued I went back to my wife's user account. By logging onto the Mac App Store with my Apple ID from my wife's user account I did manage to update the app. Later at work I got the same error message on the iMac. But this time the only other user account on the machine belongs to Computing Services: I don't have their password and I ought not to use admin rights to gain access to their account. So I can't perform the upgrade on the iMac.
All family iTunes / App Store purchases are via my main Apple ID. My wife's user account on the MacBook Pro only exists so that I can manually synchronise our iCloud address books (she has an iPad).
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
All the applications you purchase on the App Store are registered to your Apple ID, so you have to use your Apple ID to update them, or you have to purchase those applications again using the Apple ID they are using on that computer, so they will be able to update them

Just installed Mac OS X 10.8.5 on a Mac Pro 2010 platform. The App Store shows there is an upgrade, so I click the download button. After about 2 hrs the process stops and an Error (102) appears on the screen. Any idea what goes wrong? THX

Thank you for the response.
The upgrade I'm interested is for OS X v.10.8.5...
...The App Store page shows 2 different upgrades:
Mountain Lion (10.8.5) Software Upgrade, and
Yosemite FREE upgrade
If the App Store is showing 10.8.5 as an update, what do you currently have installed? The final update to Mountain Lion was 10.8.5, and since the basic OS installation of Mountain Lion is no longer offered in the App Store, that would suggest you're currently at an earlier version of Mountain Lion - 10.8.x where x=less than 5. If that's the case, I'd suggest getting the 10.8.5 update. There is also a Supplemental Update for 10.8.5 and that may be what the App Store is offering.

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your account... Perform a Reset... Try again...

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

When I try to update apps in App Store show someone else's Apple ID

cannot login to App Store show another id

Each application has the associated Apple ID stored inside it. This can't be changed without deleting and redownloading it.
