App updates asking for different email addresses

This is so annoying, certain Apps that require updates are asking for further security details. I have now used two different email addresses and now another App needs updating and this also requires further security questions, the problem is each this happens it won't accept the previous email address
It appears each time this issue arises, you need to have a different email address. Can anyone help, it's driving me mad

My husband and I both have iphone 3gs. iTunes on one home PC, there are two apps that he cant update cuz it asks for my password on his phone w/ my email already filled in. On iTunes I clicked on the apps and then FILE>Get info and I see that it says I was the original person to get app. But it never did this until maybe the last 2 updates he did for the phone. He thinks its all my fault of coarse. Can someone please help?
p.s. If he tries to download a new app, there's no problem.

  • Use different names for different email addresses in mail

    Is it possible to somehow override the name that is in the 'full name' field under account settings in mail.app? I send mail from multiple different email addresses all through one enabled account, which is a mobile me account. I use gmail's outgoing smtp server to accomplish this.
    I don't want every email address that I send from to say my full name, but there is not an option to specify different names since it is all one account. Using Mail v3.6
    Any ideas?

    Thanks VK. Don't really want to do this though because if I have one mobileme account that multiple accounts forward to, I get push to my iphone for all. Other ideas?
    no. I don't think there is any other way to do it with Mail.

  • My friend connects his iphone to my itunes for music but now when tries to download an app it asks for my email and password, how to fix this?

    My friend connects his iphone to my computer because i have more music in my itunes library. when he disconnects it and tries to update or download new app it asks for my apple id and not his. Any way to fix this?

    Stop letting him sync his device to your computer.
    He has no legal right to any of the content on your computer.
    Tell this friend to sync his device to his computer, this will remove all content that had been synced from your computer and replace it with content from his computer.
    If he likes the media that you have, you can "gift" him some songs via iTunes or he can purchase it himself.

  • Apple App Store asks for different password when updating an app. Its an old apple ID i don't know the pass for.

    When I initially download an app on my iphone, I use my current apple ID. When I appstore tells me I have an update for an app, it asks me for a different apple ID, which I no longer use, nor know the password to.

    Go to Settings/Store and verify your apple id stored there. You can tap on it and sign out, allowing you to log in with your new apple id.

  • App updates asks for old apple Id?

    I changed my email and then updated my apple I'd.  Have access to apple store.
    Apps icon shows multiple updates, but when I try to update, it shows y old email address.  And asks for a password.
    How do I change this to e new apple I'd?
    Pat

    If what marion suggests does not work, then you will need to know the apple id password associated with the app when you bought it.  I believe (but may be wrong) that the buying id is associated with the app forever. ( that is to keep folks from giving apps to each other)

  • HT2589 App updates asking for apple id with wrong apple id

    My husband is trying to update an app on his ipad and it is not only asking for apple I'd password, but it brings up my apple Id. We checked in setting and t shows his apple id. How can he update without signing in especially with my id.

    You should be prompted for the password for the account that originally bought/downloaded the app. Have you tried typing in your account's password when trying to download the update - you shouldn't need to go into Settings and log out of his account and in with yours.
    If it was definitely bought/downloaded with his account, then depending upon what the app is and whether it has any content in, then you could try deleting it and re-downloading it from his account.

  • App updates ask for a different Apple ID

    iPhone 6, White, 64GB, AT&T
    iOS 8.1.3
    I backed up my phone yesterday before getting it replaced. I usually backup my phone on my elderly laptop but decided to use my girlfriends desktop instead. Once I got the new phone, I connected it to the desktop and authorized the computer to interact with the phone blah blah. Typed in my Apple ID information into the iTunes pop-up. Started restoring my phone and left it alone until it was complete. The next day, I went to update some apps through the App Store on the phone. It asked me to put in the password for an Apple ID but it listed my girlfriends ID. I went to the Features tab and verified that I was actually logged in with my Apple ID. I then went to Settings and checked iCloud and iTunes App Store and both listed my Apple ID.
    If it matters, the backup was performed while the phone was on the previous iOS version, then was upgraded to 8.1.3 after it was restored.
    What's the easiest way to fix this? Should I backup on the laptop and restore from there? I'd like to avoid that if possible. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    The apps that are requesting updates that are showing that they want your girlfriend's Apple ID are apps that were downloaded using your girlfriend's Apple ID.  In other words, that copy of the app knows that it is associated to her Apple ID.
    You'll have to either:
    A) Use her password to update the app, and continue to use her password to update them in the future.
    B) Delete that copy of the app, then download a fresh copy of the app using your Apple ID from the App Store.

  • Why when I try to update certain app it require an old email address and password I have not used for years and I do I get to update them on my new details

    Why when I try to update certain app it require an old email address and password I have not used for years and I do I get to update them on my new details

    Apps are tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them and you will always need to use that ID and password in order to update them.
    Saying that you do get to update them on your new details makes no sense at all.

  • App Store is asking for different account info

    I have an iPod Touch, 3rd gen (technically 2nd gen, I guess?) 8 GB.
    My brother and I have both of our iPods synced to one computer, but with different iTunes accounts.
    When I try to download certain apps, it shows my brother's email address, and asks for his password. When I submit his information, it asks me to update my billing information, saying "Your account has been accessed from a new computer or device, and you must verify your payment info before you can make purchases".
    It brings me to a screen to update my billing info, and my brother's information is already filled in.
    I have tried syncing my iPod to iTunes, making sure I was logged in to the iTunes store with my account. It is still asking for different account info. This is also happening with certain apps on my brother's iPod.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    The diffrent apps "know" from which account you purchased them.
    So you have got apps from your account and from your brothers account on your device.
    I've got a simliar use. One account for the german appstore and another for the us store.

    I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
    Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
    So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
    I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this?
    Thanks

    Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

  • Trying to update "Pages" from App Store. An old email address shows up and am unable to delete.

       I am able to purchase a new app from Apple App store using my current email address and password. I am not able to update a previously purchased app (for instance "Pages") that I purchased some time ago when I had a different email address. When I try to update Pages a "grey out"  edition of my old email address is sitting in the id box and I am not able to delete it or get it out of the box and use my newer (2 years) email address. I have even tried to update my current email address with a new password which has absolutely no effect when I try to update Pages. Anyboday have an idea on how to get the old email address out of the id box?

    Delete Pages and then download it from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing it.
