Cannot update apps downloaded with old Apple ID after changing ID

My wife and I used to share my Apple ID on all mobile devices (iPhone 4S, iPad 2) and Mac so we could share contacts, calendar, purchases (apps & music). My Apple ID was an inactive email address. When I bought my iPhone 6 I decided to change Apple ID to a current email address and she created her own Apple ID for her iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Figured we could still share data through Family Share. Changed Apple IDs on all devices to the current ones.
Now, she cannot update apps on her devices as she gets message that her apps were downloaded with another Apple ID. It asks for password for that Apple ID (my old ID), and the passwords for my previous Apple ID and my new password don't work. I tried deleting the apps off her devices and then installing again from the Mac we backup to, but that did not work.
Also, is there a way to share contacts and calendar through Family Share or some other way. We don't seem to be sharing any longer since making all these changes. Why did I make the changes? Because using the same Apple ID on all devices was causing me to get her text messages and vice versa, and other strange things after updating to iOS 8.
I have iPhone 6, she has 4S and iPad 2. Have a MacBook Pro circa mid-2010 running Yosemite, version 10.10.2. Mobile devices run iOS 8.1.3

It is a good thing you made 2 separate Apple ID.
I tried deleting the apps off her devices and then installing again from the Mac we backup to, but that did not work
It's normal it didn't work because you are reinstalling apps (that are on the Mac) that were purchased/obtained from your Apple ID. She needs to reinstall them through the App Store on her device, using her Apple ID.
share contacts and calendar through Family Share or some other way
Calendars can be shared through iCloud (A)(without Family Sharing), or using the following method (B) used for the contacts.
Contacts can neither be shared through iCloud or through Family Sharing.
To get them synced: Get all of your wife's contact on your iOS device. (you can send them to your iOS device through iMessage)
then go to your wife's iOS device: Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar.
From there, disable her iCloud contacts, then add YOUR iCloud account, and select only contacts (and calendar if you want the method (B)).
This should answer all your questions.
Cheers

Cannot update apps asks for old Apple ID

I recently had to use a different Apple ID ( I have 3) because one has an old email address I cannot access any longer. I updated on my desktop, IPad and IPhone but I see I have a lot of app updates I need to install but when I select the update for each app I get " Need to log in to the Apple Store" But the Apple ID that comes up is my OLD one. If I look on both my IPad and IPhone the Apple ID's are updated ( I did manually on both devices but in this case it always asks for my OLD PASSWORD to my OLD Apple ID.
How OD I fix this issue?

I have the same problem. Apple uses an email which I never used with any apple product.
It won't change the apple ID on my iPhone although everything just works fine on my mac...
In SETTINGS -> Itunes & App Store is the right Apple ID but as soon as I want to update my apps it says to sign in to iTunes Store with the wrong apple ID...

I am unable to download iPhoto version 9.5 and iMovie version10.0, with my apple ID due to remark, this update is for an app downloaded with different Apple ID,Sign in with that Apple ID and try again,but I don't have other ID

The Early 2011 MacBook Pro shipped with Snow Leopard, so these are not the Mac App Store versions of iLife, they are the boxed software versions.
If they are in an iWork '09 folder take them out and let them loose in the Apps folder. Then reindex your HDD.

You need to delete and redownload them to do that. This may require repurchasing paid ones.

I have an old apple id that conflicts with my newer apple id, and when I try to update apps. sometimes the old apple id pops up and wants the password. I don't know password

How do I delete an old Apple ID without losing the itunes music and apps I downloaded with it? I want all my itunes music and apps. under my new Apple ID. How do you consolidate old and new itunes and apps on a new iphone?

I have the same problem and signing out in settings doesn't seem to work. Somewhere, the old id is "hard coded" in the ipad because I used it when I purchased the app, I guess. The only thing that has worked for me is to delete the app and get it again with my current id - great for the free ones, not so great for the ones I paid for.

Apps bought with old apple id? I cant update app as ID is no longer in use?

I have an old apple account that alot of my apps were bought on. I didnt use this id for a couple of months and now it is no longer a registerd ID, even though I did not delete it
I have a new ID now but my problem is that when I try and update or buy extras for the games it brings up my old id and asks for password, and gets no further as its obviously no longer registerd...So annoying! I have tried using my current apple ID but it has to be the ID you used when purchasing.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance Nikki

Update app bought with old id

We have an expired emailadress, so we made a new apple id with the correct one.
We can now login with the new id, but cannot update older apps bought woth the old id.
It seems that we cannot change the id in the app.

This recent thread may give you some guidance.

How do I update apps under an old apple id email that doesn't exist anymore and have forgotten the password?

I want to update some apps on my iphone but can't because it's asking for an old apple id email that doesn't exist anymore and I have forgotten the password for it!
Help!!!

The apple id login is never deleted. The emaill address itself can be disabled or not in use any longer. The apple id login will still be available to you. If you will go to the website My Apple Id
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
and use the listed apple id login that your apps are asking for to update - once you have changed the password at the lsted website you then will be able to update using the old apple id once you have logged into the device using the old apple id and password.
Good luck.

Cannot update apps because of wrong Apple ID!

Hi,
I bought a new MacBook from Apple Store yesterday and updated to Yosemite. There are updates available for iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and GarageBand but I can't update them. The following error occurs:
"This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
I don't know how to deal with this. If the Apple ID is not mine!!! so how did I update the OS? It is just me that used the laptop and the only Apple ID that is used in this computer is mine, if the updates are not applicable for this Apple ID why does the Apple Store show them to me?!

Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
Step 1
A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
Step 2
If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
Step 3
If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
Step 4
From the App Store menu bar, select
Store ▹ View My Account
Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.

Cannot play music purchased under old apple id after new hard drive installed

Replaced crashed HD and used Time Machine to restore to 10.7.5. Had changed my Apple ID a while backe (couple months). Now music purchased with old ID will not play, asking me to authorize under old ID, have no idea what the password was and the email address is no longer valid, so...how do I rgain access to those albums purchased under old ID? It plays on my iphone fine.

You may still be able to reset the password to your old Apple ID via iforgot.apple.com.
The old tracks will continue to play on the iPhone as long as they are on it but you may find they get deleted if you try to sync with your library while it isn't authorized for your old ID.

Updating Apps bought with two apple accounts

Half the apps on my iphone are bought from an old hotmail account, and the other half are from a newer mobile me account... When I want to update all the apps, I have to sign in to both accounts (in iTunes) or it doesn't think I bought the apps!
Is there any way to migrate the apps so they are just under one email address? They are all on the same imac and the same iphone...

No, there is not. Apps (even free ones) are DRM-protected and linked to the account used to download them. You'd need to repurchase the apps to get them all on one account.
Actually, you should have kept your old AppleID. Note that the AppleID isn't used for email contact - it's just an account name, so it could be Fred or MyVeryOwnAccount. Apple does recommend using your email address for the AppleID - I think that's a bad idea because it results in exactly the problem you're having - confusion between AppleID and email address. You can change the email address associated with your account/AppleID at http://myinfo.apple.com, so there you could have kept your hotmail account as your ID, but associated the new MobileMe email with the account so your receipts went to the right place. At this point, you're pretty much stuck without re-buying half your apps. Sorry!

Updating apps bought with 2 Apple IDs

Hi everyone,
My cousin's iPhone 3GS running iOS5.0.1 has apps on it that have been purchased with 2 different Apple IDs.
Should it be possible to do updates to BOTH sets of apps in one operation by going to App Store > Updates and pressing Update All and then entering the password for each Apple ID. Currently when my cousin does this he gets a message saying "Cannot Connect to iTunes Store." The error is NOT due to either password being incorrect.
And one further question. One of the Apple IDs I mentioned above, when you go into the Account area in iTunes, has no purchase history whatsoever (well it does now that I have purchased one test app with the account). Yet this account has purchased both paid and free apps in the past (I know that free apps show in purchase history when things are working, not just paid ones). Can any action with an iTunes account cause its purchase history not to show, for example if you change the e-mail address associated with an iTunes account?
Thanks in advance,
Philip

Apps that need to be transfered: bingo blitz, dream fish, bingo bash.

All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and are not transferable.

Messenger not working with non-apple cells after changing password iOS password

I changed my password because apple decided to not accept my password simply trying to download an app and after i got home, i lost capabitilty of texting to non-iphones through the messenger app.
It absolutely lost the capability i had before simply by changing my password.
I tried relogging in in all my devices iphone, ipad, and macbook pro and though i can text fine on my iphone, i no longer can text outside of the apple world to android cell phone users.
How do i regain connectivity to the rest of the world instead of just apples?!
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
If the iCloud ID is the same one you use in Messages for the iMessages account then you need to change the password there and in all other devices.
As you tend to be unable to change all devices at the same time the link between the iPhone number and th Apple ID tends to get lost which then means any Text Forwarding linking also gets broken.
On the Mac Version Untick the Enable box for the iMessages account.
On the iPhone remove the Apple ID and place the iPhone in Airplane mode for a good two minutes.
Go back to the Messages settings after this and make sure the iPhone number Verifies.
When this is done turn th Enable box back On on the Mac version.
Untick the iPhone number as a Receive "ID". This may make the Start Conversation From drop down disappear.
Send an iMessages from the iPhone (it can only use it's number) to the Apple ID (Effectively the Mac)
Send a reply.
This will check that the iPhone (Number) can Send and Receive.
Now on the iPhone Add back the Apple ID to re-link them.
This should cause the Pop up to appear on the Mac.
If it does not Restart the Mac version.
This should Enable the unticked iPhone number in the Receive At list and make the Start Form drop down appear.
Now Reset the Text Forwarding.
