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.

    To elaborate further, in those restrictions you can specify exactly what types of actions you would like to restrict.
    I think you'll find this accomplishes your objective.

    This is a user forum. You aren't talking to Apple here.
    Return your iPhone for a refund. There is no way to remove the Activation Lock. Apple won't get involved.

  • Hello  I upgraed my iphone to ios 7 but its dosent work like app stor dosent install any brogram or update programs and its slow and stuck plz help me

    Hello
    I upgraed my iphone to ios 7 but its dosent work like app stor dosent install any brogram or update programs and its slow and stuck plz help me

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

  • Why does iOS repeatedly ask for my password when submitting an App Store review?

    I tap Write a Review, it asks for my password.
    I write my review and submit, it asks for my password. And again. And again. And again.
    Once before, and four times in a row to submit it. Why?
    My passwords are generated for me, and I change them regularly, so sometimes I get them wrong while typing them in. If I've taken the time to go write a review and then I get my password wrong one of the four times I'm asked for it, I just get an error saying my password was incorrect and the whole review I've written ust disappears and I'm back on the app overview; I have to go write it all over again and then go through the gauntlet of repeated password entry once again...
    This has been happening on iOS 6, and still on iOS 7. (This is the App Store app in iOS on an iPhone, just to be clear; not the Mac App Store or the iTunes Store on OS X. I haven't tried either of those, so I may or may not have the same problem there.)

    Entered incorrectly?
    Can go to Appleid.Apple.com and select Manage Apple ID - try to sign in, if you are unable to then what is being entered is incorrect.
    Reset Password is the next option.
    If you are able to sign in then first on your Computer in iTunes go to Store and Select Sign Out - Then Sign back in.
    iOS device - Settings - iTunes & App Store - View Apple ID - Sign out / Sign in
    That should work for you - however when downloading/purchasing Apps you will most always be prompted to sign in.
    And to the comment
    [Yesterday I had problems on my desktop but the laptop worked fine.]
    Something was being entered incorrectly, passwords do not effect OS's.
    Hope the information with Appleid.apple.com helps you out.
    If still having trouble no worries contact AppleCare Account Security via Expresslane.apple.com
    Just be ready to answer your security questions correctly.

    Hello kingd0m
    If you have a rescue email address setup, then you can get that reset through an email as well. If this is not an option then you will need to contact iTunes Store support for further assistance.

  • I am trying to restore my old IPod but I don't know the password and it won't connect to Itunes

    I have been trying to unlock my old Ipod but I can't figure out the password and when I connect to Itunes it doesn't allow me to connect because I don't know the password. I have tried their solutions but they aren't working either.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:

    To restore from backup see:

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • Can i stopping it asking for my password when downloading from app store?

    Hi all
    wondering if anybody could help me please
    i brought a iphone 4s at the weekend and every time i download a app from the app store i have to put my password in, if i download an app then click on another to download i have to put it in again, as my password has to be more than 8 letters long its getting a bit annoying having to keep putting it in every app i download and was wondering if there is a way to set it up so that i dont have to put the password in for every download i make please ?
    thanks in advance

    Unless you changed it in Settings>General>Restrictions, you have 15 minutes after entering your password during which, if you buy other things, you will not be required to enter it again. Outside of 15 minutes, you will always be required to enter it. That is a security feature that is not user changeable.

  • Wireless Router asking for different password when trying to change settings

    I have an "old" wireless router Linksys BEFW11S4 V2.
    I am trying to change settings using the web interface.
    I can get in using the "admin" password but as soon as I try to change anything (such as SSID, security, etc) and click "Apply", it asks me for a password.  This time, the "admin" password doesn't work and I get to a red screen saying I entered a wrong password.  I reseted my router and came back to the default but still, I get the same thing.
    ...any clues anyone?
    Thanks.

    Try upgrading the firmware from ftp.linksys.com/pub/network ..also after upgrade ...reset the router & reconfigure it ... See if it works ...
