Cannot update Apps since loading new IOS

I have an iPad (not the newest gen. but the one before) and since I upgraded to the latest IOS, I am unable to update my apps.
I used to have an apple ID that was linked to my AOL account. Then I started using a different Apple ID and before the update, all my apps updated properly and without problem. Since the update, when I try to update my apps (of which there are many) it asks me to enter the password for my Apple ID that is linked to my AOL account (ie.the old account) - which I can't remember. I have tried resetting my password. I tried resetting it by sending myself an email, but for some reaon the email never gets through to my AOL account. I have tried resetting it by going to answer the security passowrd - but it seems that my birthday is not the one that is logged against that Apple ID (I know it sounds weird, but I promise that it is really mine). So I can't reset the password.
And everything in my iPad is set to the new Apple ID.
How do I get the apps to update??? I have read that perhaps I have to delete all the apps and reupload them? I sincerely hope that is not the only or correct answer. It would take me ages!
Thanks for any help.

  • Cannot update apps via iTunes after iOS 8 install

    After updating my iPhone 4S to iOS 8.0.2, iTunes (ver 11.4, under OS 10.6.8) will no longer do a backup nor any direct usb cord App updates. I could download all the updates to my Mac and they showed up in the connected iphone App list.  Although the bottom banner showed nearly 5 GB of free space, as soon as I selected one of the App update button (which changed to "will update" the bottom banner change to read "not enough free space."  Then, I tried asking it to deleting an App and it came up with the usual "do you really want to" warning. After clicking yes, it basically did nothing.  I also tried doing a manual backup of the iPhone which just resulted in a very quick "scanning" status message, then nothing. I rechecked my Apple IDs, device authorizations, and restriction settings and they all seem OK. Finally, I shut down and restarted both the Mac and the iPhone then tried it all again with same results. Direct Cell or WiFi App updates on the
    iPhone work fine, but, I prefer doing them via the Mac so all are locally saved, plus, I do not have to do double downloads for my wifes iphone.

    If i click for example on the update button in app store, there is just this ''downloading circle'' and shows loading.. and loading.. and loading and just nothing happens. Also the sympol of the updating app gets grey and there stands ''waiting''.
    If i try to download an App, there is the same on the install/download button and there shows up a grey symbol of the app and nothing else happens.
    No error message or something else. Just shows that it ''loads'' and nothing happens.

  • Cannot update apps or download new apps

    3 days ago my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2) stopped updating apps and allowing me to download new apps. I rebooted the device and attempted several times to stop the updating but it appears they just keep spooling with no success. I logged of and logged back in the App Store. Suggestions?

    Hello rwtjhr2012,
    I know this article is about apps crashing, but it is relevant with troubleshooting the apps that you have purchased. Make sure that you are up to date on iOS.

  • Cannot upgrade apps or load new apps on my ipad2

    This is an recent problem, never had it before. My ipod doesn't have this problem so there's no problem with my connecting. When i connect my ipad to my pc and itunes then there is no problem either. But i find it annoying to have to use my pc every time that there is an update or if i want to buy a new app. Who can help me? I use ios 5.1

    I thought that might be the issue but I wasn't certain. For whatever reason, this seems to be occurring more frequently that it used to.
    Two thoughts ... if you have a stalled download in iTunes - maybe a song or a podcast that did not finish downloading, complete that download or delete the download - and then try the apps again. Only one thing can download at a time and anything that might have stuck in iTunes could be causing the problem.
    the other thing that I will suggest is sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again. Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap your ID and sign out.
    Restsrt 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.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in - sign in and try again.

  • HT203433 I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone.  When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account.  Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id.  What do I need

    I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone.  When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account.  Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id.  What do I need to do?

    You can write into support and ask for help reenabling the account through this link here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    Since the applications were purchased on the older account, you will need to log into that account to update them. The newer account will not recognize the purchases because they are not a part of the purchase history for the specific account.

  • Cannot update Apps on iPhone only Mac & iPad. I have new ID on latter. Cannot figure out how to change on iPhone.

    I cannot update apps on my iPhone. It has my old Apple ID. Fine on Mac & iPad they accept my new ID (automatically). Tried syncing iPhone with Mac. Didn't  work.

    To change the Apple ID on the iPhone go to Setttings > iTunes & App Store > then tap the Apple ID at the top and sign out.

  • Have personal Apple ID account which allows me to download apple apps but when I go to update the apps Apple ID pops up thats not mine and cannot log in to update apps.  Brand new IPAD never any other user

    Is the AppleID listed in Settings --> Store and Settings --> iCloud the same?
    If it is a totally different ID and not a slight variation of yours, I would definitely take it back to the store. You may have bought a returned item that had been setup previously.

  • I did an updated yesterday to the new IOS 7.0.4 on my 4s. Now my facebook app is really small when I open it. I tried to re install it a few times I also checked for updates to the app. Can't figure it out.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • I cannot update apps because i do not have iOS what should i do?

    I cannot update apps because i do not have iOS what should i do?

    You are confusing iCloud storage (the storage plan you purchased) with the space on your iPhone.   To update over the air you need space on your iPhone.  The 13Gb are available storage space in iCloud.  The available space on your iPhone is shown in settings, general, usage.
    As modular says, the solution is to update by connecting your iPhone to the computer you normally sync with.

  • 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

  • TS1394 how can i get upgrade the ios x v 10.5.8? I purchased an iphone 5 but cannot connect with my macbook 5. I cannot update itune 11 as my ios is not up to date

    how can i get upgrade the ios x v 10.5.8? I purchased an iphone 5 but cannot connect with my macbook 5. I cannot update itune 11 as my ios is not up to date

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    OS 10.6 Snow Leopard is once again available from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
    To use iCloud you have to upgrade all the way to Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard.

  • I try to update apps since last software update, but prompts for old itunes PW

    I try to update apps since last software update, but prompts for old itunes PW,
    Ive signed out of Itunes, Icloud, Ive rebooted the phone several times and it still prompts for a passwork from 2 yrs ago. I bought this phone some time ago used. I have never had a problem ontil I updated the software a month ago....
    Please help
    Mike

    That means you have an app or apps, on your phone, obtained with your old Apple ID. All apps are forever tied to the ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any ID other than the ID used to obtain them.

  • Everytime I update my ipod - loading new songs - my Album art doesn't show

    I don't know if this has been happening to other ppl, but ever since I updated my ipod to newer version of OS4, my album art doesn't show up when it locks to home screen. When I go into music - it shows that the album art is there, but when I lock my ipod, the album art doesn't show up. But when I turn off and on again, it works again. It's just really annoying to always turn off my ipod and on again. And also I've noticed that after updating my ipod (loading new songs) it seems really slow - but when I turn if off and on again - it works normally.
    I Don't have lots of songs or movies - I have used a little over half of the space. It's just that these things only happened right after I updated my OS to newer iOS4!
    Can either someone make a better iOS4 or something?

    Try deleting the songs from your iPod, then in your iTunes library delete the album art and reload the album art back to the songs and put them back on your iPod.
