Can't update apps that were set up under a different email address that was closed some time ago.

The specific APPS at this time are Pages, Keynote and numbers but I would be suprised if others will have this problem in the future.  And I can't update them on the new Apple ID.   And when I supidly did the forgot my password thing with the old system they probally sent the message to an email address that no longer exists.  If anyone could help it would be appsheated.

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 another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

Call Apple Care and ask for the Account Security Team. They can assist you with your issue.

  • How can I authorize my computer to play songs that were initially downloaded under a different email address and computer

    How can I authorize my computer to play songs that were initially downloaded under a different Apple ID (email address) on a different computer?

    You need to either authorize it from that Apple ID or delete those songs and buy them from your current one.

  • Can't update apps.  Ipad asking for password to old email address

    I I'd updated my email address several months ago.  The App Store app worked fine.  Now all of a sudden it's asking me to log in using the old email address and wants the old password.  In settings for both the App Store and iTunes are correct.  I can sign out and sign in from the settings menu but cannot update my apps through the App Store app itself.  This just started today.  How do I fix this?

    IIf you got the app with your old email you can not change it, you need to update it with your old one. If you get any app with one email you can only use one email. Even if you log into your new email from itunes( scroll under and click on the email and sign out and log in with new email) it still won't let you do it with your other email. Sorry. You can not use different emails for some things.      You can go to settings-iTunes and AppStore- update apps( it means it will automatically update apps) it does work, but uses a lot of battery usage. I hve had it on for a long time but I don't mind.   hope this helped.

  • On my ipad when i try to update apps my apple id now has a different email address which is not listed on my account?

    on my ipad when i try update my apps my apple id email is changed from my icloud to my ymail. all though i have never used or registed with my ymail email i only have my icloud email listed in my account

    Sounds like you may have originally been connected to the store, with your Ymail apple ID, and would need to change it back to this, in order to update.

    I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email.  I have since assigned two different emails.  How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

    By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
    If so, you can change it.
    1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
    2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
    3. Log in with a different ID.

  • HT4623 How do I delete from the apps store an updated app that was downloaded? Prior to iso7.2.0 once the app was downloaded it was automatically deleted from the updated section in the App Store.

    How do I delete from the apps store an updated app that was downloaded and shows open? Prior to iso7.2.0 once the app was downloaded it was automatically deleted from the App Store.

    You don't.
    The update section will continue to show recently updated apps due to the ability to auto download updates.
    It effects nothing, just ignore them.

  • Cannot update apps.  It keeps asking for an old email address and password and I can't seem to get rid of it.

    I have everything running fine on my laptop with my new email address and password, but after using the sync feature, it still won't update the old apps on my iPad without using the old email.

    That is how it is supposed to work. Apps and purchased content are always tied to the Apple ID that you bought it with. You will have to continue to use the old ID and password in order to update those apps.
    You can sign in and out of the accounts in Settings>Store>Apple ID as needed.

  • Can't see app that was purchased on my ipad 2

    I purchased a free app and I can't see it on my ipad 2.  I have synced it and have also removed it and then reinstalled it from my PC.  During re-installation, I see it loading.  After it is done installing, it vanishes.  Can anyone help with this problem? 
    I was thinking about restoring the ipad to factory settings but am afaird on losing data from other apps since my son has sevral games apps which he is playing and have gone a long way.  If I back it up and restore, will the data from the games be lost?
    Thanks,

    These are the general things that you can try to get your apps to work again. But the first thing you can try is to download any free app - that seems to reset something. See if your apps will work after that.  If not try these things listed.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    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.
    Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If none of these things work, you may have to delete the app and install it again. To delete the app, tap and hold down on the app icon until it wiggles. Then tap the X that appears on the icon to delete it. Restart your iPad as described above and download the app again.

  • Can't delete app. that was added via web from ipod touch

    hey,
    I am having a problem getting rid of an app that I add to my touch via the web. It came from the itunes store but wasn't synced thru my itune on my computer.I can't get rid of it even thru itunes, because it isn't on my app list just shows on my third home screen. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get rid of it?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you try to touch the app icon on your screen until it starts to shake and shows the little cross? Hit the cross to delete it from your ipod and press the home button to stop the shaking of the icons again.

  • On my itunes there are many songs that will not play due to being purchased under a different email address and password from the one I have now how can i get these songs to play?

    I have many songs in my itunes library that were purchased by me that did not convert to my new email address when I moved. How can I get them to play?

    You have to use the same old Apple ID and password.
    NOTE: All content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.

  • Updating apps asks for apple id password for old email address

    I clicked on update all for my apps and am asked to sign in to itunes store using the apple id password for an old email address.

    Then sign in with that Apple ID. Whether your email changed or not is irrelevant. The Apple ID "name" (often the email address you originally used to sign up) should not change.
