Apple ID Password using old ID in App Store
I just updated to iOS 5.1 on both my gen1 iPad and iPhone 4S and updated to iTunes 10.6 [40] on my Mac.
Now both my phone and my iPad are saying that a bunch of apps need to be updated.
So, when I go to "update all" in the App Store App, it asks for the password from my old Apple ID without allowing me to change my Apple ID User Name.
To fix this, on both my phone and iPad, I went to Settings/Store/Apple ID and signed out and signed back in.
I went back to the App Store App and it was still asking for my old Apple ID Password.
I then signed out in Settings/Store/Apple ID and turned it off and then on again. It still didn't work.
I Then went to appleID.apple.com and checked on both IDs. Everything is current and as we all know, [for some reason] Apple IDs can't be deleted. [Even though it would solve about a million man hours a year for users]
I don't want to use my old Apple ID anymore to keep all of my systems integrated. Which means using it is not an option for me.
Any Suggestions?
finally figured it out!!!

My apple id password will not work in app store after I reset it. Has anyone had this problem
My apple id password will not work in app store after I reset it. It says the new password, verified by apple, is the wrong one when I purchase things in the store. Has anyone had this problem?
OK. Did you have a question? Do you use the "Contact Us" link at the bottom right hand corner of this page?

Required to enter apple id password for every update in app store
I just updated my macbook pro to Mavericks. After the install and reboot, I went to install updates and it is requiring me to enter my apple id and password for every update. This behavior is new. Why is App Store.app reading the password from my keychain?
Oops. Why is it not reading from the keychain.

I want to make it so tht I don't have to type this long password everytime I want to download a new app or update te apps, how do you do tht?
You can't. Password is required & the only time not required is within 15 minutes of use. Password is no longer required for App updates.

I have changed my apple id recently and the changes have been reflected on my iPad for both the apps store and the iCloud, however, my iphone still insist on using my old apple id for the iCloud while the app store is fine. how can i correct the problem?
ThanksHi Baem_leeds
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you change your Apple ID you will need to sign in with the new information or password the next time you use an Apple service or feature that uses Apple ID. If you have multiple devices that use features and services that require an Apple ID, you will need to sign in again on each device.
The links below will provide additional information:

Why is my Apple ID not working in iTunes or App Store on my iPhone? When I try to buy apps or music it asks for Apple ID so I enter my info and nothing happens. When I go to settings/iTunes App Store my Apple ID is not there. When I enter my ID and password it does not save or link to account. I do not have this problem with iPad ID is stored and can be used in App Store and iTunes. I have just upgraded to 5c and it's still a problem.

When fist setting up your new iphone you will be asked to log in with an apple id and password. If this did not happen you can then do as you suggested going to settings to itunes and app store and add your apple id login. This apple id login must have already been created for the iphone to accept it. If this apple id is already created but is not being accepted by your iphone you then should shut down your iphone and restart the device.
Good luck. -
i used to have an app store and lost it and i created a new one and i can not update the iphoto app on my macbook pro because it was updated with the old account, is there a solution for this problem?
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID. -
Dear support @Apple,
I have tried to log in App Store with my Apple ID 3 times but never possible.
I have tried to change password 2 times.
It was successful.But soon after change of my password, I could not log in App store.
It says always incorrect user name or password. But I input correct ! Because just I successfully changed my password through secret question.
Third time when I tried to change password, the page did not open!
So I checked my connection by netstat , and I trace the IP address ; 17.154.66.17 this is apple IP, but when I trace , it did not show the route. I will copy

Please help !!
To post this question, I tried thierd time to change password, and before I tried to log in to App store, I logged in this community, and I could !
Then I could finally log in App store also.
But still I feel something is wrong with my connection.
Why the trace route does not show to the apple site ?This is a user to user forum. Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here.

Hi maikeru1,
If you have your apps synced to iTunes, you can use a similar process to that outlined in the following article (the Get Info command) to show what Apple ID it was purchased under:

HT2534 how do i use itunes and the app store without any credit card or gift card?
i just got my iphone and i used to use itunes all the time before when downloading all songs were completly free, how do i use itunes and the app store to find free stuff to download without having to add a credit card or gift card with my account?
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
