Can't upgrade apps on my computer

I am trying to upgrade applications, specifically Safari and iPhoto, on my new iMac using Mountain Lion. I have recently changed my original apple ID to my email address, the same as my new iCloud account. Everything seems to work okay, except when I get a message that updates are available for my computer and I need to sign in in order to download them. The window comes up with my old ID and won't allow me to change it to my new ID. My new ID and password are recorded correctly on my Manage My Account page at apple.com and my new ID is shown at the top of the iTunes Store page. Everything looks okay, except I can't authorize the upgrades.
What is the solution?
Thanks!

An Apple ID is tied to a specific account. Everything purchased under that ID is tied to that account and only that account. When you get a new Apple ID all the apps purchased under the old ID can only be updated if you log into the App Store with the old ID. Any new apps purchased under the new ID can only be updated using the new ID.
To get apps transferred over in your case can only be done by Apple. You will need to contact them for help:

You don't mention which operating system you have so it's difficult to provide an answer since the mac and Windows stores the files differently.
The other thing you can do is just re-download the apps from the iTunes Store. Just login to the iTunes Store on the other computer using the same Apple ID. On the right-hand side of the iTunes Store page you will see a 'Purchased' link. Clicking on that will take you to a page that will list your past purchases which you can re-download to the new computer.

How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac. You should be able to set a password for it. Save it. Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer, I suppose, back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity. As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
This handy article from Apple explains how
How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine and go for it. You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups of your stuff.

Problem now resolved as I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6. Seems App Store doesn't like anything previous to 10.6.

Since my macbook pro is an intel core duo but not a core 2 duo, I cannot upgrade to Yosemite. So... what OS X can I upgrade to with this computer?

Intel Core Duo is a 32-bit processor, so the latest Mac OS X version you can install is Mac OS X Snow Leopard -> http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
You are running Mac OS X 10.6.8, so you are already running the most recent Mac OS X version for your computer.

How can I delete apps from my computer?

How can I delete apps from my computer and subsequently have this filter to my ipad, iphones?

If you are syncing through iTunes to manage content on your iPad and iPhones (not using iCloud), you can "filter" what goes on each device in iTunes.
To do this, select the device in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES). Over to the right, go to the Apps tab. On that screen, select the apps you want on the device. Apply the change.
So each device can have a different set of apps, from your overall library in iTunes that has everything. There is no need to delete the app from your iTunes library in order for it to be delete from a device.
But if you DO want to delete an app from your iTunes library, select Apps in the iTunes sidebar (under LIBRARY). Over to the right, find and select the app you want to delete. Right (or Control) click on the app and select Delete.

HT5622 Maybe someone can help me, it would be greatly appriciated. The first Apple ID I created was fine,until I entered a credit card with a low balance. Now I can't upgrade apps, or even d/l free apps.

Contact iTunes store support and pay what you owe.

Can I download Apps to my computer and then transfer to an IPOD touch 4th generation?

I'm thinking about purchasing an IPOD Touch, 8 GB 4th Generation. I have Internet acces via Time Warner Roadrunner and my Dell Computer has Windows 7 Professional as an operating system. My questions are:
(1) If I purchase this IPOD will I be able to download Apps without any problems?
(2) Is there a way to transfer these Apps from my computer to the IPOD?
(3) Are there any good Apps for keeping track of foods (calorie content), weight, etc.?
(4) Can I check my hotmail account for emails in my car or anywhere I may be?
(5) I know many Apps are free; however, what are the prices for different music?
(6) What kind of accessories would anyone recommend for this IPOD?
Any other information that might be helpful to me would be appreciated?

(1) If I purchase this IPOD will I be able to download Apps without any problems?
Yes, AS LONG AS you are connected to a working Wi-Fi network that is connected to the Internet.
(2) Is there a way to transfer these Apps from my computer to the IPOD?
Yes. See here: Syncing and arranging apps from the App Store
(3) Are there any good Apps for keeping track of foods (calorie content), weight, etc.?
Yes. Search the App Store or do some research via Google regarding google calorie tracking apps.
(4) Can I check my hotmail account for emails in my car or anywhere I may be?
You can only check for email when your iPod is connected to a working Wi-Fi network. It does not use a cellular data connection like an iPhone or 3G/4G iPad can.
(5) I know many Apps are free; however, what are the prices for different music?
Songs prices vary. Any where from free to a couple of dollars. You'll have to just look around the Music Store to get a better feel for the pricing model.
(6) What kind of accessories would anyone recommend for this IPOD?
Definitely a case of some sort that will protect it from scratches or further damage if dropped. That's about all I will offer though.
Any other information that might be helpful to me would be appreciated?
8 GB isn't that much storage space especially after you consider that some of that is taken up by iOS and take into consideration how storage capacity is reported. You'll only have about roughly 6.5 GB of free space to use. So if possible, I would purchase the version with the next highest capacity at 32 GB.

How can i transfer apps from one computer to another?

My i-pod touch was on one computer and i would like to change my apps from that computer to another.

The simplest solution is to copy the iTunes folder from the other computer to the new one. This will transfer everything including music, apps, etc. The folder is /Home/Music/iTunes/.

How can I change my apple ID from the APP store so I can update my app? my computer is stuck with an old email and won't let me change it..

Hello, Im trying to upgrade Imovie and whatever app are about to update in the future, the problem is the my Imac is stuck with an old email on the APP store. I try to change it and nothing happen, when I put my apple ID it send me to change the password and what Im trying to do is to put my new email in the system so would be able to update my computer. You know when you press the update button a little box drop with your email and all you have to put is your password thats where my old email is stuck pls someone help me with that little problem i'll appreciate it... thanks

An Apple ID isn't necessarily "linked" with your email other than for recovery reasons. So, as long as you know the Apple ID password, an old email isn't catastrophic. Apple ID != e-mail.
Now, if it's really bugging you and you really want to change it, if you log in to http://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address, this should update your Apple ID. There will be a couple hoops involved with this (i.e. verification of email change by sending email to rescue/alternate email. Alternate email can't be the same as the new primary. The new primary can't have ever been used as/with an Apple ID. etc...).

Can't upgrade app from AIR 1 to AIR 2 because pubid is blank

We've upgraded our Flex SDK 3.1 + AIR 1 application to Flex SDK 4.1 + AIR 2, using the same build script that automates the use of ADT to build the AIRI/AIR files using the same PFX file.
The installer, however, does not attempt to upgrade the previous application but instead install a new application. From the installer logs, I can see the problem is that the pub id is blank for the AIR 2-generated installer.
Original installer:
[2010-08-02:11:19:51] app id <appid>
[2010-08-02:11:19:51] pub id <GUID>.1
Updated installer:
[2010-08-02:11:21:46] app id <appid>
[2010-08-02:11:21:46] pub id <BLANK>
Any idea why this might be happening? Does the pub id have to be specified explicitly as part of the AIR 2 SDK?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Richard

You do in fact need to specify your publisherID explicity when you update to 1.5.3 or higher
http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/air/1_5_3/releasenotes_developers.html#newfe at
If you have an existing AIR application, then you should take the following steps to make this transition:
Determine your application's current publisher ID. In an installed application, this is found in the META-INF/AIR/publisherid file.
Add a <publisherID></publisherID> element in your descriptor, and copy your publisher ID into it.
Update your application's namespace to 1.5.3.
The value you want in the <publisherID> tag is what you describe as "<GUID>.1" from your logs (although it isn't actually a guid). You want the whole value including the ".1"; it should be 42 character long in total. Once you make that change the new app should be able to update the old one
