Apps update issue - iTunes Store sign-in/Apple ID

Thanks in advance for your help.  My iPhone 5s is set to automatically update my apps.  This has been working fine.  Today, however there is a problem.  Today the App Store app is prompting me to manually update the apps, and the ID it is asking me for the password for is not mine - it's my wife's.
This is very strange, and I asked myself if I've made any changes to either mine or my wife's iphone settings recently.  I've only made one change, 2 days ago.  The change I made was on my wife's iphone 5s.  She was getting a message about not enough storage on her iCloud to complete a backup.  When I took a look, I saw that there were 2 devices on the account, her new phone ("this iPhone") and the previous phone we wiped and gave away.  So I deleted the old device since it was sucking up all her storage.
At first I didn't see how there could be a connection with my issue, but I've noted one thing which may not be coincidental.  In looking at my app update history, I can see that the last day any apps were auto updated was the same day and prior to I made the change to my wife's phone. Must be a connection?
Can someone help with a diagnosis, recommended next steps, etc?

When an app that is updating is asking for an alternate password or Apple id login, that is due to the fact that the login the app is asking for IS THE Login that was used when the app was first purchased/downloaded.
What one must do in this situation is to logout of your device with your current apple id login and then to log back in with the alternate apple id login . Once login in with the requested apple id you then will be able to update the cantankerous app.
Good luck!

    An alternative is to purchase an iTunes gift card that can be redeemed for apps in the Mac App Store.

    If you didn't setp your iTunes account, from the beginning, without a credit card, you'll have to either add a credit card to your account or redeem an iTunes gift card, regardless of whether the app is free or not.

  • Logging in to iTunes Store on my Apple TV

    I have just got round to updating my Apple TV and everytime I try to log in to my iTunes account, it says that either the Apple ID or Password is incorrect, although I can still log in on my PC.
    I have tried both of my iTunes accounts and neither will work. I've made sure I'm using all lower case, and made sure it's trying to connect to the correct countries store.
    What's interesting is YouTube doesn't work either, but when I go to look at TV Show Previews and Film Trailers, they work and play fine, it just won't let me sign in to my accounts.
    Any ideas?

    I was on the phone with Apple support this morning for 2 hours.
    If you have an @aol.com email address as your Apple ID, you cannot log onto the iTunes store on the Apple TV. The technician told me it's a bug they did not come across during testing and they're working now trying to resolve it. He said they're not sure if it's on the server side or if it's the v2 firmware.
    The technician tried to convert my account as shown in the link (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=307459) That did not work either. The solution for now is to go to https://myinfo.apple.com, log in and change your Apple ID name to something else besides an @aol.com address.
    He said it looks like we'll be getting a 2.0.1 update very soon to resolve the issue.

  • Where do I find earlier versions of Apps in the itunes store

    I have an ipod touch 2nd Generation, Software Version 4.2.1 with a storage capacity of 8 GB.
    Since I do not get any Software updates anymore, I can't download any Apps anymore.
    The App "VintApp" doesn't seem to exist in the Swiss App Store. How can I find earlier versions of an App on the iTunes store?

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
