Can't update apps from old apple id

I updated my apple id e-mail and now I can't update an app associated with the old e-mail.  The old password won't work and when I have it send an e-mail to reset my password I never get the e-mail.

Did you update the email used in the old Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? If you made a new Apple ID, that was not a good idea. Content is for ever tied to the ID that bought it. Only that I can be used to redownload content and to update the content. Apple does not tranfer content from one Apple ID to another nor does Apple merge Apple IDs. You will need to continue to use the old ID to update the content or abandon it all as is.

  • Help...ipad2, did ios5 upgrade yesterday which made me change apple id for an email account instead of my usual one word username. Now can't update apps because old apple id still pops up asking for also previous pwd.!!

    Apple ID big mess...one misspelled username, one "old" username that won't accept pwd and new id that will not pop up for use in app udates or itunes!!!!!! HELP!?

    You need to sort out which iTunes account is valid (use iTunes on computer and login with the correct acct/password), as all of your Apps should still be associated with that account.  If you are referring to the iCloud account that you set up at the install of iOS5, you can still have have a separate iTunes account that's different than what you use for iCloud.  However, Apple recommends that you use your iTunes account login for both if you want to later use music streaming/iTunes Match.  If you decide to have different iCloud/iTunes accounts on the same device, go to Setting>Store and then enter your old iTunes account email and password there. If your iCloud username is messed up, you can delete the account from the device under settings>icloud; you can then set up a new one or select that you want to use your iTunes account.

  • Charged my email(user name) and now we can't update apps from the original email is there a way to link?

    apps from old email user name will not update. Anyone know how to link this

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad and whether you can then update the older apps. 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.

  • Can't Update Apps from the Appstore

    I have all the latest OS updates for my macbook pro and it seems like I can't update my apps that I have downloaded from the appstore.  I have logged into the appstore and iTunes and also have made sure the information in the account are correct and up to date.  When I open the appstore I click on updates and it says, "All Apps Are Up to Date" but when I click on "Purchased," it clearly shows that there are updates available.  When I click on update it says that I need to be signed in in-order to update the apps.  I AM signed into the appstore and iTunes.  What is going on here?  I tried emailing support for Apple and they couldn't even help me.  I know there are people having the same issues.  Can someone point me to the right direction or have any advices to fix this issue?  Its very annoying unistalling an app and to reinstall just to update it.  Thank you in advance.

    I had just posted a thread regarding a similar issue, except it's attempting to "load" all of my apps again. This includes loading old apps that were previously deleted off my iphone. It's annoying. I can't even access these apps to delete them. This renders my phone useless...

  • Can I use Apps from another apple ID?

    I bought my son an IPOD touch last christmas and didnt set up a new apple id. He is using my apple id as he was too young for an email at the time.
    Now he wants his own apple id as he wants to send messages etc. Can I set him up with a new apple id and be able to transfer his purchased apps and music onto this new apple id?
    Hope this makes sense

    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into his new account.
    Also  go to settings>Messages>Send and Receive and Settings>FaceTime, and Settings>iCloud sign out of yur account and into the new one.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them. They can't be transfered to another account
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Can't update apps with correct Apple ID!

    For months now, I have been unable to update my apps either on my computer or on my iPhone. Attempting to update apps, whether all at once or individually, on my iPhone results in the error "Cannot access iTunes store." However, I am able to download new apps just fine through the store. In the Apps section of iTunes on my computer, it says "43 updates available" in the bottom right. When I click that, it says "No updates are currently available. To check for updates with another Apple ID, sign in with that Apple ID." I know the apps need to be updated because 1) it tells me so on my phone and 2) the version numbers have been superceded. I don't have another Apple ID. Besides that, I checked "Get Info" on every single app and every one of them was downloaded with the Apple ID that I am signed into iTunes with on both my computer and my phone. I have signed in and out of my account multiple times on both my computer and my iPhone. I have rebooted both. Today I did a reset and restore on my iPhone using my latest backup, from earlier in the day. I put my apps back onto my iPhone. Nothing has changed.
    I don't know what else to do! Can anyone help?
    Here is all the info on my gadgets and systems:
    MacBook Pro running MacOS X 10.6.8
    iTunes 10.6.3
    iPhone 4 software 5.1.1
    Verizon Wireless

    Update:
    I just re-downloaded all of my free apps through the iTunes Store on my computer. It behaved as if I had never downloaded the app before. The apps all synced up just fine with my iPhone and have disappeared from my Updates list in the AppStore on my phone. The count of my apps needing updates has gone down in iTunes as well. But I still can't update the apps I haven't downloaded again. I don't want to repurchase my paid apps, many of which I use every day!

  • Can't Update apps because wrong Apple ID appears on phone

    I have a 5s. Shortly after getting it, I synced it to the MacBook that my husband and I share. Ever since then, his Apple ID appears when I try to update my apps from the app store on my phone. My apple ID is what is entered in my settings, and my apple ID is what shows up if I purchase an app. However, his ID shows up when I go to update.
    This happened a few years ago when he had a 3 and I had a 4. We didn't actually do anything to fix it. We just re-synced my phone, and suddenly my apple ID was back where it belonged instead of his showing up in my app store. That is not the case this time. I can't figure out how to get rid of his ID from my app store.
    Also, I seem to remember that when you would sync your phone, the apps would automatically update during a sync. That no longer happens. Am I crazy? I swear they used to update during sync. Anyway, if they can't get updated when I sync, how am I supposed to update them if I can't remove his ID from my app store? Please help!!!!!!!

    I had a similar problem on my iPhone and the problem turned out to be that I had restrictions set to not allow account changes. Once I unset this option (settings-General-restrictions), I could change my apple ID. Could something similar be happening to you?

  • I can't install apps from my apple store, need help

    Hi All, I have an iphone 3GS. I used to download free as well as purchased apps from the app store. For some reason I am not able to do that anymore. For example when I try to open my facebook app, it keeps on not opening it, last time it did that to me, I deleted it reinstalled it, but now I am stuck because I can not install anything from the app store. Pls help what it does it: I click on the app store, it will allow me to pick the app I want to install (e.g. facebook, then it gives me the option to download, i.e. 'Free' but the free is with a plus sign i.e. "+Free"  then when I click on it, the "Install" appears but partially like "insta..." then am stuck can't install or do anything, anyone with idea on how to resolve this?
    P.S. I have not upgraded to IOS 4
    I have tried to restart my phone so many times,
    I have logged out and re-logged into the app store on my iphone.
    thanks much

    Log out of the Apple ID on your iPhone.
    Reset your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Log back into to your Apple ID with the current password.

  • How can i link purchases from old apple id to new apple id?

    How can i change old apple id and purchases to new apple id?

    You can't do that yourself; if desired, you can click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they will, but they probably won't.

  • Just updated to Mavericks and now I can't update apps using my Apple ID

    A few days ago I updated my 2012 Macbook Pro to Mavericks. Today I tried to update my apps but instead of asking for the password of my Apple ID, it asked for my dad's ID. The ID section was greyed out. The apps were all downloaded using my Apple ID. This didn't happen before I updated my Macbook.

    To update you must log into the Apple ID that was used to set up the computer - if yu have account issues contact the App store support - link in on the right of the App store window
