Apps aren't recognizing new account name

I recently updated my iTunes account with a new email and a new account name. I followed the instructions from Apple and went to Settings->Store and logged in there with the new account and then I re-synced the phone. But when I try and update my Apps, it still shows the old account name and asks for its password. When I try and log in using the old password it says: "Account disabled for security reasons" When I use the new password, it says the same. Help!

Click here and reset the password for your old account, even though you know what it is. Each application contains the old account name inside it; to change that, contact customer service and ask to redownload the applications from the new account.

My hotmail account was hacked, so the mail that I use to sign in in itunes also, it's the same. But if I create a new account how can I transfer the money and the apps purchased to the new account ?

I really need help ! I had around 30 $ in my account !

Don't create a new iTunes account.
Just update everything with new info/change password/ security questions.

My daughters iPod touch won't sync, says apps aren't recognized, nothing syncs though

iPod touch won't sync at all. Only message is that some apps aren't recognized. If I reset, will it sync? Or will she have a blank iPod because the "apps aren't recognized"?

Use the communities search box in the upper right of this page and searc for: "the apps can't be determined". Use the quote makes and make sure the wording matches what the error message says.
You will then find the previous discussions with the same error. I do not remember the solution.

HT2204 I have just changed from sympatico to videotron. Creating a new account name to download an app; no problem. BUT, I can't get the system to change to the new ISP in order to do updates through the app store. Suggestions appreciated.;glenel@video

Sorry about the long title, but that's the info I need

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the phone. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

Safari App missing when creating new accounts

When I create new Standard acccounts, the Apple default Apps show up in the dock, except for Safari which is a gray question mark. If I go to the application folder I can start Safari with no issues. Why is Safari not appearing on the dock for new accounts? I've tried created several new accounts and there is the same issue. Any ideas?

Sounds like a screwed up LaunchServices database. Easiest thing to do is OPTION-drag the ? icon off the dock and then drag the Safari icon back into the same place. If you want to reset the LS database, run this command in the Terminal.app (all one line) and restart.

Transfering app purchases to a new account

I have a MobileMe account and have done for a while, but the iOS appstore, my iPhone, my iPad and any purchased music are still using an iTunes account setup with my old Googlemail account (which, after sitting collecting dust for nearly two years, I want to finally close down). I know that if I transfer all my devices over to the MobileMe account that I'll be able to retain my purchased music (sans purchase history), but I have nearly 15GB worth of iOS applications that I have downloaded with the old iTunes account.
Can I transfer iOS applications to a new account without having to buy them again? I can prove that both accounts belong to me, could I request to re-download the applications again free of charge, or would that be out of the question?
Thanks for any help

You can change your apple ID (itunes > itunes store > account > edit account info) but this will change it for your parents also.
So, you can take all your purchases with you, but if your folks have also purchased things, and if they want to purchase stuff in the future, this won't work.
There is one option: iTunes supports multiple libraries. You could use one library for the content that you've bought with your parents account, and another profile for your own account. You WON'T be able to have the content from both accounts on the same ipod / touch / iphone, etc
For multiple library support, look here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=637185
So, in answer to your question, you won't lose your content, you just won't be able to use it at the same time with any new content on a new user account.

Changing from old account to new account but want to keep apps and data.

Is it possible to sync my data from my iPod to the same iPod but using a different account.
For example, account number 1 has my current data; I now have account number 2. I want to switch my apps and related data to the same iPod under the new account name. How can I make the switch?

I have a similiar issue but with a slight difference. My account originally was an AOL account and I had a few songs purchased under that account but since have switched to an apple account. Since then I have upgraded from a "mini" to a 3rd gen iTouch and also have several computers authorized. My issue is that I have "lost" 31 songs when I synch my iTouch to iTunes (the original songs purchased on the AOL account). When I synch I get an error message that I am "not authorized to them on this computer, and to authorize the computer...". This computer is authorized. Help!

How to transfer old icloud id stuff to new account id?

Hi all!!
Ok I have a friend who has an iPhone 6 and his wife an iPad (old iPad using large usb cable) and they have an
iMac (no DVD drive) and they use the same iCloud id's on both devises now the part to do 2 separate iCloud id's
I can do no problem BUT the part I'm not sure how to do is to transfer Contacts, Calendar, Photos, music,
apps etc…. from the old iCloud id to the new one without loosing anything. This change will be done on the iPad side
So what to do?? I didn't tell them yet that it was gona be easy to do because I have no idea what's involved to do this
transfer so I need help to do this step by step (no geek language please). They have OSX 10.10 on iMac and iOS 8.2
on both devices.
THANKS ALL!!!

Technical part is as easy as it gets, you just sign out of icloud and when prompted you keep what you are allowed to keep. Stuff that you will not have a choice is really minor, but if you want to - you can backup that stuff by emailing photostream pictures or documents in the cloud. Once sign out - sign back in to new id.
Legal part is however different - while you are allowed to keep all those applications, music on ipad, it belongs to old apple id still. Legally, so when it is time to update app you need to enter password for old account or delete an app and redownload for new account. If it is not free you have to pay again. Normally though families do not mind doing updates under the same id, as long as icloud and imessage/facetime are separate.

Changed account name and old music files no longer can play

I changed my account name to an e-mail address that I currently use. since I moved the old one I could no longer access any longer. Well they have a feature to do that so I took it so it would be easier to remember the account and password. thing is since I changed none of the songs that I purchased with the old account name can be played any longer. they need to be Reauthorized.
No biggie right just type in the old account name and password and I'll be on my way. Wrong :P
According to the music store the old account does not exist. Well of course not that is because I changed it. I check to see my account history under the NEW account and it has all the files I ever downloaded since I first installed iTunes! If this is the case why on earth can I not play the files purchased under my old account under the new accounts name! did I make a mistake by not deauthroizing my computer before changing account? because it is not mentioned in the instructions to do so! Grrr... normally I'd just say oh well but it's most of my iTunes library!
Pleas help!

Problem Resolved!
I was sent back an e-mail stating that I did not make a second account but changed my account name from (accounts will be withheld for security) one to the other. Problem?
Files downloaded from the other account name would not work with the one that I was currently using.
Issues further complicating the matter. My computer recently was having Power supply issues and I reformated my computer several times. Not realizing that this left iTunes Music store saying that I had 5 computers authorized on my account because I had not deauthorized any of the computers each time. Couldn't really, windows crashed out and I couldn't get to it. So when I got everything ironed out on my computer. I couldn't play any of my songs becaus I had reached maximum authorizations! even Deauthorizing and reauthorizing didn't work.
Solution:: Login to your (working) account and go to your account summary. Click on the button that says "Deauthorize ALL computers" This will wipe all computers that you had associated with your account to play your songs. Not that big of deal because all you have to do is log back in. (BIG deal to ppl that don't know your password, which they shouldn't be playing yoru songs anyway!)
Once I resetted my authorization on all computers and logged back in everything was fine.
Now I think the tech that sent me the e-mail did do one thing for me. He must have enabled my old account I used to have and linked it to my current one. Because instead of my old account saying it does not exist it says it works now! yet I still login to and access my account with my new e-mail account!
So even though I would like to say everything was within my power to do myself the whole time. That is not the case. The tech did help me associate the two accounts from withing iTunes. So I can now listen to my songs at anytime I want and not be told I have 5+ computers when I only own 2 LOL

Changed user account name and moved to OSX Yosemite. Apps still work, but cannot download new apps or updates.

I recently moved to a new MacBook Air with a physically larger hard drive. I had a coworker move over all of my software and data, and everything seems to be playing nicely. All of the current apps I have in place like Photoshop and Illustrator are working just fine.
Unfortunately when I try to download other apps in Creative Cloud it just shows Download Error. I tried reinstalling Creative Cloud, which did nothing.
I should note that when I moved to the larger machine I changed user account names. Whenever I try to use FileSync, it says it is looking for a folder in the old user account folder. This occurs even after trying to change where that folder is in the Preferences.
Additionally I have updated from Mavericks to Yosemite. I do not know what effect that had.
Any insight how to restore my ability to get downloads and updates? Or perhaps how to fix my FileSync?

I think I have it resolved by uninstalling everything and running the cleaner per these instructions: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

Im switching email accounts on my itunes account am the computer isnt recognizing purchases made from my other account on the new one (apps). How can I sign in with my new account and get the purchases apps on both accounts?

This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that?

My iCloud account name was inputted incorrectly when my iPhone was set up. I made a new iCloud account but my phone still automatically loads the old and unusable iCloud account. How can I update my phone to load the new and correct account?

My iCloud account name was inputted incorrectly during initial phone set up. I created another iCloud account name but it is still the old and wrong iCloud account that automatically loads whenever I access the iCloud tab on my phone. How do I replace it my new and correct account name?

She won't after the change.
Note you can use the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > here to share purchased music, apps and books.
Other than that each of you should use your own Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game Center, etc.
