App store sign in problem

I recently changed my apple ID when I consolidated an old email and a new one. Well now everytime I try to download or update an app from my macbook air it still shows my old apple log in. What do I do? I've tried logging in  and logging out already.

Did you authorize the computer to your updated ID?
Not sure why you are still seeing the old ID if all you did was change the Apple ID that you purchased the apps with to the new ID. But maybe it needs to be re-authorized?
Also, you can try restarting the Mac.
Let em know if either of these clear up the issue. If they don't we will keep digging!
Cheers,

  • Mac App Store sign-in problem

    I allowed Mac App Store to download and auto-install OS X 9 Mavericks. Now when I try to download the installer to use on a backup external hard drive partition, I'm required to 'sign-in'.  When the "Sign in to download from the App Store" dropdown appears, it already has someone's email address in it, greyed out.  I can't click to put the insertion point into that box, so I can't log in.  The email address pre-positioned in it is "[email protected]".  Have I somehow been hacked during the install?

    Change your Sys Prefs and it will open without issue!

  • How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?

    How can I get my App Store sign in to match my newly updated Apple ID?
    The old ID is already grayed in the box for my ID and it does not allow me to type in my new ID.

    I appreciate your effort and realize I did not provide a lot of background.
    My issue began when I unintentionally managed to add an additional .com onto my new apple ID and the system then incorrectly verified this "none existent" address. Following days of effort and emails to Apple support I finally ended up  getting set up with my new ID on iTunes.
    The next problem was my App store login continued to have the "old" ID grayed into the signin and since I had changed it to a new ID, I could not login at the App Store.
    I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with a total of 3 Apple reps without a resolution to me problem.
    The last Apple rep, Chad wanted to be able to take a screen shot of what I was telling him, which made no sense to me but I was willing to do what ever was required to solve the problem. Unfortunately, Chad hung up or somehow disconnected before I received the email required for allowing a screenshot. After calling back and adding another 5+ minutes invested, I decided to attempt to change back to my old ID.
    Once I had changed my ID back to the old one, I could download updates and purchases.
    I realize my question was asking a lot but my hope was someone would have some idea as to how to correct the problem Apple Support could not. It seems to me Apple needs to make a correction on their end but it is now into week two of attempting to solve the problem and I am pretty much disenchanted with Apple Support due to the amount of time and effort already invested and lack of progress.
    Thanks for your suggestion. I think it was a good one considering the lack of other information.

  • Can anyone tell me how to change my ID/Password in App store sign on from a memorized one?

    I have been trying to install my downloads for weeks and I am unable to sign in with my id and password because the keychain saved my husbands id and password.  How can I sign in again and save my id and password again?

  • No app store sign in, re-install?

    My iteration of the Mac App store will not allow me to sign in.
    I litterally do not get a sign in dialog of any type.
    I'm wondering if there is a way to re-install the app store module to see if that restores sign in ability.

    Hi ..
    Yes, installing the OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 (Client Combo) will reinstall the App Store for you.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
    If that didn't help, some third party apps like Little Snitch can prevent the Sign In window from appearing >  Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text

  • App store sign on

    I have a new iPad mini.
    When I sign into the app store on setting it is with my email.
    When I go to the app store on the application it truncates my email to just the user part without the gmail.
    What happens is the store does not recognize my user name and password and locks me out.
    How do I set my user name on the app to my email.

  • Wrong Apple ID in App Store Sign-in Box

    When I try to update applications (in the current case, iPhoto), the Apple ID shown in the sign-in box is not mine but my wife's. She has her own computers and does not operate on mine. I have checked my App Store account details and my correct Apple ID is listed as it should be. I have tried to change the Apple ID in the sign-in box but it is not allowed. My correct Apple ID is shown in the Apple Store log-in and the Apple Support log-in boxes and I have no trouble logging in to these two sites. How can I rectify this situation with the App Store log-in Apple ID to enable application updates to be obtained? I am operating on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.

    Hi Niel,
                Thank you for your suggested solution. It worked perfectly and you were spot-on with your assessment of my problem.
    Best regards,
    Rob.

  • App store sign in dialogue not responding

    Since upgrading my iMac to Mavericks I have received various upgrade notifications and successfully upgraded several apps.
    However my Pages app is under a different apple id and is listed as having an upgrade ready, but when I try to sign into the App store with that id the sign in dialogue box just sits there with the activity icon circling and nothing happens.
    I can sign in with that id to iTunes and store.apple.com/au etc, and have changed my password and contact email successfully, but I can't use the id to sign in to the App store, the dialogue box just sits there doing nothing.
    I've tried shutting down, logging off, closing iTunes and App store, etc. This has been going on for over a week.
    Could someone suggest a solution to this problem?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved. If possible, restore it from a backup that predates the problem.
    *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, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • App Store Sign In - Unknown Error - also no 3G at all.

    I have just got an iPhone 5 - whenever I try to log in to the App Store, I carefully put in the correct password and I get a message which states "Could not sign in - An unknown error has occured".
    I also can't seem to get any 3G access at all.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Tom,
    Thanks for that, but actually you can open a video clip with FCP "Open with ... FCP", have ben doing that for years, as well as import and dragging etc.
    Still nor resolved issue, FCP opens, appears in
    the tool bar, but no canvas, library etc etc, very weird.
    Have uninstalled, re-installed, same problem. And have a stack of work to do.
    **** it.

  • App Store sign up not allowed without a postcode HELP PLEASE

    Just bought an Apple 4s.  Have been trying all week to sign up to the app store but it keeps asking me for a postcode.
    I have entered the EXACT address that is listed for my AppleID but it will not accept it WITHOUT a postcode.
    We do not have postcodes in rural Ireland. How do others get around this aggravating problem please?
    Thanks

    First, you've confirmed that your iPhone is set to the correct region and is not actually pointing to another country's iTunes Store? Go here to confirm:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
    If you find that it is set to the correct region, log out of your iTunes Store account, restart your iPhone, and try setting up your account again. If you continue to have problems, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.
