I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.
All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. -
App purchased by different 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.
<Email Edited by Host>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.

HT4009 How do you get refund on misuse of apple id in "in app purchases" with kids games?
These in app purchases within games are too easy for kids to get caught up in the occassion. In my case my 10 year old daughter made an error of judment having remembered my apple id from long ago she got sucked into the buy extra points with money. Am I just not up with the play on things and what is acceptable now but the way they advertise the BUY part is wrong! They make it look part of the game, no dollar signs... How do I get credited for this misuse of apple ID? Yes I have changed passwords and stopped in app purchases now!

Hi,
I was looking into purchasing 2 apple tvs and was wondering if they can be setup with different apple ids. I need to have mine setup with my id and be able to hook my devices to it , but have the one in a bedroom hooked to a different apple id and have my friend's devices stream to that one and not mine. Is this possible?Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order that your Apple TV only streamed from your iTunes Library and your friends to your friends, you would both have to have different homesharing ID's.
So far as devices go, any device on a network can stream over AirPlay to an Apple TV, to ensure each of you couldn't stream to the others device you can enable a password via the Apple TV which would then need entering when you used a device for AirPlay.
Shouldn't be a problem to do what you want to do. -
Re-associating previously purchased iTunes apps, etc with different Apple ID?
, I want to get a brand new Apple ID to replace my current MobileMe address which I will convert to iCloud just for transition purposes and until my contacts update to my new email. I want to be able to ultimately eliminate my old .mac and .me address altogether and never see it again (divorce situation - see previous post)
Anyway, a snag, of course, is all my iTunes purchases. I want to benefit from iCloud wireless syncing but all my apps (Mac AppStore too) are tied to my current .me AppleID which can't be simply changed.
Since all the apps, music, etc, reside on my computer (which has to have the long & short name changed too) - would the following work:
1. Backup iPhone 4 and iPad 2
2. Create a new username on my computer (the name I intend to have as my only name once all is smoothly transferred)
3. Create new iCloud account with new .me address
4. Configure iPhone 4 and iPad to associate with new .me address (where exactly?)
5. Signed in as new username, Open a new iTunes library on my computer and import everything (apps, music, shows, etc) then consolidate it to be housed only in the new username
***also load to affiliate with new computer username (where?) the last iPhone 4 and iPad 2 backups
6. Re-sync (wired) iPhone and iPad to new library.
Will my apps, etc then be "in the cloud" and associated with my new .me address so I can wirelessly sync them as if I never changed my name??
What specific steps should I take and in what order should they be?
And if this doesn't work, any ideas that will? Same question then for Mac app store purchases.
I just want MY iDentity and not have to see my married name all over my iPhone, iPad and iMac, everyday. [email protected] rather than [email protected]
THANK YOU!Please try each of the following steps you haven't already taken, until the issue is resolved. After each step, relaunch the App Store and try again.
1. Follow the instructions in the Apple Support article linked below:
Mac App Store: Cannot update App Store purchases or updates do not seem available
2. If any App Store purchases were made under a different Apple ID, or if the bundled iLife applications were accepted under a different ID, sign in to the App Store with that ID to update.
3. Alternatively, delete the probem applications and re-download them with the ID you're using now. If you haven't already purchased them with that ID, you'll have to do that first, because purchases can't be transferred from one account to another.
4. Select the Purchased tab in the App Store window. If you see an item in the list marked "You have 3 apps to accept," click Accept.
5. Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/adoption.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window may open with a file selected. If it does, delete the selected file. You may be prompted for your login password.
Then repeat step 4.
6. Select
Store ▹ View My Account
from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. If you're trying to update any hidden purchases, unhide them.
7. Launch iTunes and select
Store ▹ Authorize This Computer
from the menu bar.
8. If you've moved any App Store apps out of the applications folder, or into a subfolder, put them back. Never move or copy those applications.
9. Contact Account and Billing Support on this page:
Apple - Mac App Store - Contact Support -
Please help me cancel my recurring in app purchase at for NEJM iPad edition.
Go to expresslane.apple.com and there you can talk to a live chat advisor or send them a detailed email with the order number and total and they will assist you.

Sign up with different apple ID to update an app
I want to update an application from the app store, but when I clicked the "update", i'm asked to sign in with an apple ID that was used to make the first purchase of the app. anyone knows what does that mean?since I never make any purchase with different apple ID. i just changed the country as i moved to The U.S. two weeks ago (the former country/region was Indonesia). Does it cause a problem?thanks a lot
Yeah but I always use the same apple ID since the first time I made a purchase. I just changed my country from Indonesia to United States.
So what should I do? I've tried to change the country to Indonesia but the result was the same. I still could not update any app in my mac.
thanks -
Why can't I use my Apple gift card for app purchases?
Why can't I use my Apple gift card for app purchases? The Apple store sells iTunes gift cards, but I can't buy one with the remaining balance on my gift card.... Why won't you let me buy what I want to buy?
Terrible policy.....No idea.
Have you tried?
What happened?
Have you called and asked? -
I need to update my apps in the App Store, but when i try to update, the Sign Up Apple ID pop up box came out with different Apple ID. How can I change it to mine? My iTunes Store already log in with my own Apple ID.
Just now you said the other Apple ID stored inside it, is that mean all my data back up in that the other ID?

Dear support @Apple,
I have tried to log in App Store with my Apple ID 3 times but never possible.
I have tried to change password 2 times.
It was successful.But soon after change of my password, I could not log in App store.
It says always incorrect user name or password. But I input correct ! Because just I successfully changed my password through secret question.
Third time when I tried to change password, the page did not open!
So I checked my connection by netstat , and I trace the IP address ; 17.154.66.17 this is apple IP, but when I trace , it did not show the route. I will copy

What it means??
Please help !!
To post this question, I tried thierd time to change password, and before I tried to log in to App store, I logged in this community, and I could !
Then I could finally log in App store also.
But still I feel something is wrong with my connection.
Why the trace route does not show to the apple site ?This is a user to user forum. Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here.
