Can you no longer sign out of the App Store with one ID and then sign in with another?

i can no longer sign out of an Apple ID on the App Store and then sign in with another. I did this in order to share games with my sons. Is this no longer possible? When I try it now I get a message saying he will have to wait 90 days before he can use his ID again.

The page that I linked to, associating a device and the 90 days, has been around for a few years (at least 3), but from what some people have posted on here the association doesn't always kick in.
Are the apps that you might want to sync in the computer's iTunes library that you sync his iPad to, or have you got copies of them somewhere so that you can add them to it and then sync them instead of redownloading ? If they were bought on a different computer, and are still on that computer, then you should be able to copy them over to his iPad's computer - by default an iTunes library is stored under :
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista: \Users\username\Music\iTunes
Windows 7 and Windows 8: \Users\username\My Music\iTunes
There should be a 'Mobile Applications' or similarly named directory under it - copy the apps to a flash drive, if not already done so then authorise your account on his iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer menu option) and then add them via File > Add To Library menu option

    Download them to iTunes abd then sync the apps. Make an appointment with Apple and see what the problem is.

  • How can you find your password to use the App Store on an iPhone?

    My friend has forgotten her password for the App Store.
    Her account is her email address.
    How can she either get her password or create a new one in order to use the App Store?

    I think I tried this last night but will attempt it again.
    I was tired after talking with an AT&T technical representative about a voicemail issue.
    I hope her voicemail is still accessible today.
    I asked the AT&T person to remove the voicemail password.

  • How do I sign out of the App Store so that I can sign back in with the correct apple ID?

    I needed to change my apple ID, which I did through Apple support today. Now I need to get out of the default old ID to update my apps. How do I do that? The correct ID is showing in the settings section.  Thanks!

    Then it seems like you may have set up a new Apple ID. You didn't change the Email address associated with the old Apple ID. Purchased content is always tied to the ID that was used to buy that content. If the old ID is still coming up, you will have to continue to use that ID and password in order to update those apps.
    Did you try using the old password with that ID? How did you change your ID today.... what support are to referring to that you changed the ID from/with?

  • I just purchased the IPad 2 and now when I purchase apps from the App store it says waiting and then dissapears. I have checked for updates and all apps are undated as well as my ios 5. I have turned off the power and reset the system and still nothing.

    The free apps and the ones I try to purchase will not download. I have updated all my app and the ios 5 have the most recent updates. I have turned off the system and reset the system and it will still not download the apps. When I purchase an app it ask for password. I put the password in and it say waiting and then the app dissapears. At this point I don't know what to do?

    1. Sign out of old ID
    2. Reboot
    3. Sign in with new ID

  • Logged out of the app store and can't log back in!

    Hi all,
    Earlier this evening I logged out of my app store account on my iPhone and now I can't log back in. It says "Could Not Sign In" - "An unknown error has occurred".
    I tried logging in with my other two Apple accounts and it still says the same thing! I've made sure the password was correct and I have not enabled any restrictions.
    Your help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for your reply, I did a hard reset instead (holding down the on/off button + home button until the Apple icon appeared). I checked the iTunes and app store in settings and my account was signed back in.
    So I proceeded to sign out of the app store again and sign in with a different account. Same problem occurred.
    So I did a normal restart and tried to sign in again, the problem persists.
    I have just done a hard reset and now my account has been signed out with no way of signing back in.
    Help... please...
    *Note that everytime I did a restart I closed the app in the 'background' to ensure it starts fresh

  • How do i log out off the app store as it has the wrong email and I can't do my updates as i don't know the password

    How do i log out off the app store as it has the wrong email and I can't do my updates as i don't know the password

    Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, tap on the Apple ID, and choose 'Sign Out'.
    However, logging out of the iTunes & App Store won't change the Apple ID you need to use to update an app.  It only affects what Apple ID you're using to download a new app.
    Apps always have to be updated using the Apple ID that was used to download it originally.  Go to iforgot.apple.com to reset that password.  If you cannot do so, then contact Apple Account Security, or delete the app and redownload it using an Apple ID and Password that you know.

    1. Make sure software is up to date
    2. Make sure FaceTime is enabled; Settings>FaceTime
    3. Make sure Date and Time is correctly set; Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    4. Make sure Push Notification is enabled
    5. Make sure phone number or email address is correct
    6. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) until you see the Apple Logo

    I have full membership to CC and have been using it for 4 months. Randomly Photoshop stopped opening jpgs, so I uninstalled and re-installed. Photoshop then stopped working all together. I signed out of the app manager and when I signed back in all my info was gone and only "TRIAL VERSIONS" of CC apps were available. I paid for this software. I need to be able to download it again.

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

  • I cannot sign into App Store. "unknown error" and then "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"

    I cannot sign in to the App Store.
    I changed countries a few months ago and updated all my account info and everything was working fine, until recently, while trying to upgrade my softwear to Mavericks, which I cannot do. My apple Username and password work fine on iTunes and on my iPhone. I can also access all my account info when I sign in through the website. It just will not work for the App Store on my Mac Pro.
    When I click "Welcome" under Quick Links it asks me to sign in. I sign in with my Apple Username and Password and then it DOES NOTHING
    When I click on "Free Upgrade" and then "Install" on the mavericks software, it asks me to sign in again. This time it says "unknown error" and then it says "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
    I''m completely blocked. I cannot procede without being able to update my software.
    Please help me.

    You could try this.
    Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    I have forgotten my security questions and can't buy anything of iTunes or the App Store what do I do?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
