Change Account to Update App

In the Purchaced  tab, I have one app (Evernote) that has the Update button displayed.  When I click on it, a message pops saying "You have updates available for another accounts".  Problem is I only have one account.
Is there a way to figure out what account the app store thinks purchaced the app?
TIA

I found a sollution posted by Peter Jarvis that worked for me.
Select the app in applications folder, right click, select "Move to Trash".
Launch App Store
Select updates in the App Store
Select purchases.
* App should now show "INSTALL"
Select INSTALL
* App is downloaded and installed
Empty TRASH
If this does not work, put the current app back and contact apple.

  • I have two apple accounts, but can only access one. I did all the steps to recover the older account's password but nothing worked. I need to access the older account to update apps. Also would there be a way to just combine both accounts?

    Were you able to reset the account's password ? If not then how did you try to get it reset e.g. http://iforgot.apple.com (which would have sent it to the rescue email address if you have one on that account) ? You can also try contacting iTunes Support in your country to get it reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    And no, accounts can't be merged nor content transferred between accounts.

  • My friend gave me ipod touch with all his accounts, i created new accounts but when i went on the appstore and tried to update apps installed by him,i was asked his account's password! i dont know his password.how can i use my account to update apps?

    You can't.  Apps and really all content purchased/downloaded through one Apple ID is forever tied to that Apple ID.  In the case of Apps they will always request that Apple ID to update as they are licensed to that Apple ID.
    In reality, the Apps were licensed to that Apple ID by the developer.  And cannot simply be given away to you for you to use.
    He should have wiped the iPod clean so you could set it up for your use without any of his accounts or purchased content as you are not really licensed to any of those Apps.
    Your friend should have followed this support document before giving the iPod to you:

  • My mom, hoping to save some money, signed into her account on my computer to download an app (I forget which one) to save on a disk to add to her computer. Now I'm getting reminders saying to sign into her account to update apps that she has. How to stop?

    My mom, hoping to save some money, signed into her account on my computer to download an app (I forget which one) to save on a disk to add to her computer. Now I'm getting reminders saying to sign into her account to update apps that she has. Can this be stopped? If so, how?

    Try uninstalling the app using this utility > Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
    That will uninstall the app and all the associated files but you still may see the reminder.
    Keep in mind, you can only update apps from the Apple ID they were purchased from.

  • How to access an old account to update apps purchased with that account?

    How to access an old account to update apps purchased with that account?
    I cannot update purchased apps in iphone/itunes because I cannot enter the password for the old account. It does not exist anymore anyway.

    Restore from your backup of old computer.
    You can redownload past purchases.
    -> iTunes: Download past purchases

    mac app store tells me to log into <edited by host> account to update apps(that I don't own) but that is not my account and I never heard of this email. Is there a fix for this?

    Everyone here - please take a look at this thread ( the last two posts by WZZZ and Thomas Reed):
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15205291#15205291
    It appears that a) Hotmail has 19 domains functioning as distributors for malware and b) someone is distributing pirated software. Although it does not appear to be related to the recent trojan, my suggestion: stay away from both.
    Edit: so why does everyone here appear to have pirated software (and doing it through it App Store)?????

  • Change account to update Xcode?

    I have been using my apple ID, my only apple ID forever. All my apps are purchased with this ID. Now as I was updating my apps in the Mac App Store I noticed that Xcode had a new version that didn't show in the updates pane. I have the 4.3.2 version installed and on the store there's a 4.3.3 version available. The buy/Download button does show "Update" in the title, but when I try to update I get this message: "You have updates available for other accounts – To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." I only have one account, I couldn't have used another.  Anyone had the same problem? Is this a store bug?

  • IPhone 6 plus not getting right iTunes account when updating apps

    New iPhone 6 plus. I have iTunes store and app store logged in to the right iTunes accounT. However, when I try to update apps it is asking me to sign into a different iTunes account I don't have the pasword for and don't want to use (my Mac book used to be my sisters...my phone is trying to log in to her iTunes when I update apps). Any idea how I can make it pick up the right account?

    Whose account downloaded those apps ? If you copied from them your sister's computer and she downloaded them onto that computer then they will be tied to her account - you will need to delete the apps from your phone (which will delete their content) and redownload them on your account for you to be able to download future updates on them on your account

  • Preventing old unwanted account from updating apps...

    Before I joined mobile me I used my old email address to setup an Apple ID account for my iPod. Over time I bought apps for the iPod. Since mobile me came out I had to make a new account with my new mobile me email address as it wouldn't accept my old hotmail address. Subsequently I know have two Apple accounts and never use the hotmail-addressed one for my iPod as I now have 3 separate libraries under my mobile me-assigned account for my iPod, iPhone and iPad. HOWEVER, as logic states whenever there is an update for anything bought or installed from my old hotmail-addressed account, it flags itself as an update which I cannot get rid of unless I sign out of my current Apple ID account and into my old hotmail one, update them and then sign back out and into my current Apple ID. VERY VERY annoying.
    Is the only solution to delete all apps from my old account (if that is possible) and fill the fields with false info to cut all links and ties; as I know you cannot delete an Apple account?
    Anything would help......it's really getting on my t*ts having to update things twice esepcailly with the number of stuid updates there seem to be nowadays with apps!
    Thanks!

    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.  They will always have to be updated from that account.
    Why did you start a new account?  You could have changed the e-mail address associated with your old account.
    You can delete the apps and buy them from your new account if you like.

  • Want to change account name for App Store

    I have changed the iTune store account name and want to update for App Store, so that I can updates applications. How to change the account name on the App Store? I changed in the Setting but it doesn't affect in the App Store. Thanks for your help.

    I think you need to login to a different iTunes account from within iTunes, then sync your iPhone/iPod Touch. It should then have your other store account as the default.

  • Can't update apps using itunes 11.03

    I updated to itunes 11.03.
    They changed how you update apps.  Instead of clicking the app button on left and getting updates, there is a tab; but, when you hit update the update apps just sit there and won't go away.
    Anyone else have this problem.

    I have the same problem with my iOS devices. When I sync to remove or update apps it get stuck on step 3 determining apps to sync and then nothing happens.
    Before updating itunes, it was working fine.
    I am now using iTunes 11.0.4.4 on a Windows XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 2.
    Please help and make the necessary actions.

  • How do you update apps that where purchased using different iTunes accounts?  I get a cannot connect to iTunes message and it won't accept the password even after you change it.

    Both my iPad and iPhone have the same problem.  I have purchased apps with three different accounts. I understand I will need to use the original acct to do the update but every time it asks for the password I put it in and get a message that I cannot connect to iTunes store. I have even had the password reset and it still will not connect on the upgrade.  But I can sign in with that account and purchase new apps i am loading a free one now just to make sure. So what is that about?  Please do not tell me I have to also use the original password!  We have reset them so many times that there is no way to remember the original one used at time of purchase a year and 1/2 ago.  Please help. I have also upgraded to the iCloud thinking this would solve the problem but it still exists.

    I use only one Apple ID and only one ID. I did have to change the password at one point but I had no issues at all with updating apps after I changed the password.
    If you can download new apps with the ID that you changed the password for, I would think that you will be able to update apps associated with that ID as well.
    Did you try restarting the iPad after signing out of the one account and then sign in to the other account/accounts?

    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    If they were purchased from your husbands account, then they will have to update using that account.
