Apple Id for App updates

Hello,
I have a question - my ex boyfriend set up my Iphone when I got it so he used his Apple Id (he has a macbook) but since then we broke up and I hav ecreated my own Apple Id but all of a sudden, my phone is asking me of his Apple Id to update my apps... I have been to my settings and changed the Id in the Itunes Store/App Store section but that didn't change the fact that I still need to input his Apple Id password to be able to update my apps.
Anyone had the same issue / knows how to resolve this?
Thank you!

The apps are attached to the Apple ID used to download them. There is nothing you can do to change that. You could always delete the apps and re-download them with your Apple ID.
Hope that helps

  • Apple ID for app updates does not match new Apple ID cannot get updates

    Can someone tell me how to get the Apple ID for app updates to match new changed Apple ID?
    I can get new apps with new ID but not updates....old ID shows up and will not accept password.

    Your advice is to change my Apple ID again?
    No I gave you a link to try to get a new password to work with the old Apple ID.
    And are you saying that I will not be able to access any updates for apps that were acquired under the original Apple ID and password?
    I am saying that the only way to update apps acquired with the old Apple ID is with the old Apple ID. You cannot update them with a new Apple ID.

  • How do I change my apple ID for apps update?

    My apple ID for apps update differs from my usual apple ID. How do I match them so that I can update the apps (refuses my password)

    I am using the apple ID that I want but my iphone asks me for the old apple ID's password to update the apps and I don't know what to enter since what I enter, prompts a message that says that my password is less than a year old and I need a new one. I don't want the iphone ID but the iTune ID instead

  • How to change apple id for app updates

    The user id that displays on my ipod is correct on the settings menu but when I try to update my apps, the apple id that displays (and wants a password) is one that I no longer use.  How can I change the apple id for this one function to my current correct one?  I've tried poking around all the settings and can't find where to change it.  Once it is changed, I can then use my regular password.   Thanks!

    Hi jabsykes,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may have downloaded or purchased applications from two different Apple IDs. To update those applications, you will need to sign in to the Apple ID that downloaded the applications initially. Please use the attached article for instructions on how to sign out and sing in to different Apple IDs on your iOS device.

  • Changing default apple id for app update

    When I go into the app store and try to update all, it goes to a different apple id by default.  It says I'm logged into my ID but goes to a different one.  How do I fix this problem?

    Were those apps that have updates originally download by the account that is showing ? If there were then only that account will be able to download updates to those apps, all content from Apple is tied to the account that downloaded it. If they were downloaded by the account that you are logged in as then does that show at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app ?

  • Why my iPad requires apple id for app updates coming from iTunes?

    This also applies to my iPhone, but basically since the last time I changed my Apple ID password, everytime I use the sync-with-iTunes process to update app's that have been downloaded to iTunes first, the iPad and iPhone both ask for my Apple ID password. The Apple ID is correct, and I have checked all saved passwords in both devices are correct, but when I sync I still get asked for my Apple ID password which previously never happened, and so to my knowledge is not supposed to be happening.
    Any ideas?

    This is also happening to apps being installed through "Automatic Downloads" which is on for both devices.

  • HT201413 INCORRECT/OLD Apple ID for App updates in App Store!

    I am unable to update my Apps. Every time I  select "Update", I am asked to confirm the password for my OLD/PREVIOUS Apple ID which I no longer use. I have already updated all Settings with my new Apple ID, email and information weeks ago...this is the only item that asks for my old ID.

    Content acquired via iTunes is permanently tied to the Apple ID it was acquired with.
    Enter the correct password for the Apple ID that is being prompted.
    The only other option is to delete the content then re-acquire it with the current Apple ID>

  • How to revert my apple id for apps update

    I too have the same question......When I try to update iPhoto on my macbook pro via the App Store, despite being signed in to the app store with my Apple details, the apple id on the iPhoto update has an old email address which can't be changed, as it's greyed out. How do I update to current email address?

  • Removing Apple ID for App Updates

    I am renting an iPad from my college. When I connected it to my Mac I was able to put my apps, music, etc. I was able to get it assoiciated partially  with my iTunes account but, I cannot update apps. The other account is from the loaner departement I got the iPad from. I also made a in-app purchase but I did it on my iPhone because I could not do it on the iPad. Is their any way to get around the orginal iTunes account so I can update apps, and presubly unlock the in-app purched content? Thanks for the replies

    When you want to update apps, you have to use the ID that was used to purchases the apps. Purchases are always tied to the ID used to make the purchases. That means that you have to sign into the other ID in order to update those apps. Settings>iTunes & App Store. Tap your ID and sign out! then sign in with the other ID.
    What you do not want to do is download previously purchased apps with the other ID because then you will associate the pad with that ID and lock yourself out of your own ID for 90 days.
    Were you trying to make an in app purchase for one of the apps that you purchased with your ID?

  • HT1311 Changed my apple ID for iTunes, but did not work for app updates.

    I followed the directions on my phone and successfully changed my apple ID for iTunes. But when I to update apps, the old ID still shows. How can I change my Apple ID so I can update my existing apps?

    Correct! The apps I had previously were downloaded using my husband's apple ID. We are now separated, and I would like to download updates under my OWN apple ID. I followed the instructions for changing my AppleID on my phone, and it works with iTunes downloads. Yet the old AppleID continues to show up for App updates/downloads. Can I change the apple ID for App updates? Or must I delete all the apps on my phone that were downloaded under HIS apple ID and then redownload them under my own ID?

  • Wrong apple id for apps

    The Apple Id that I am using for the i-Tunes store is properly reflected in the phone as an email address.  When I try to update apps on the phone, I am prompted to enter a password.  I noticed on the login screen that the Apple ID has been truncated to only include the name prior to the "@sbcglobal.net."  I enter the password anyway and it does not recognize the Apple ID or password.  What setting is changed so that the ID uses the full e-mail address for app updates?  I have attempted to sign out and log back in but the username for apps does not change. 

    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

    Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own.  When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on.  No more stops.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.
