Changed appleid, then changed back and now apps don't update

I recently changed my appleid to a new email address, resulting in me not being able to update any of my apps from the previous appleid, (and trust me i tried everything), but now i switch it back to the old appleid(after hours of problem solving) but now the old apps ask for my old appleid but when i try to update them nothing happens, i enter my password then nothing happens. litterally goes back the saying an update is availible but everytime i try to update the app it doesnt. Please help

Please provide more detail. How was your account changed? What changed? What errors do you get (if any) when trying to update an app? We are kind of going blind here with such vague description of your issue.

Have you signed out of your iTunes account on the device/computer that you are using and signed back in with the updated password ? That should 'refresh' the account on it, and you should be able to use the account's new password to download updates to its apps

I recently changed my MacBook Pro password, and now I don't remember it. Is there anyway to gain access to my mac without reinstalling or deleting everything that's on it? I don't have the disk that came with it either.

Hi. I recently changed my MacBook Pro password, and now I don't recall what it is. My hope is that I can somehow gain access without deleting everything currently on it. I do not have the MAC disk that it came with. Is there something I can do myself? Should I take it to the MAC store? Thanks in advance for your help.

It helps with this kind of question to state which system version you are using on the computer as the answer will vary.
Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274 - resetting password on regular and administrator accounts if you have the installer disc (OSX 10.1-10.6.8) or AppleID (OSX 10.7-10.8) [Of course Apple has changed this document since I asaved the link so it is no longer useful for newer system versions. ]

Installed iOS 8.2 and now apps will not update

Tap Update, the circle shows up momentarily and then the update icon shows back up

Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
Do not change your settings.

I changed my apple ID email and my apps won't update because it keeps using my old AppleID email

I only changed the email address so I could actually receive my email receipts etc.
I also changed it on my icloud account and deleted the old AppleID. It has changed on everything except when I go to update my apps it always pulls up my old AppleID. Even when I put in the password it says it is wrong. I have tried resetting it but it also states that my information on file is wrong.
Really not sure what to do here.

I didn't generate a new appleID. I changed the email on my apple ID so now it won't even recognize my old ID or password. I tried restting m\y password but it said my birthday didn't even match and I asked to send an email to reset the password on my old account but I have yet to receive an email. I get that i need to log into the old account, thats fine, the issue is that even doing that won't work and I didn't change the password on the old account so I don't know WHY it is not being accepted.

My ipod broke then my laptop and now I don't have my music is there a way to recover my music?

I would really like to recover my music is there a way to do that? If I plug in my old iPod into my new laptop will it recover my music?

It has always beenv ery basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Have you failed to do this?
If so, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

I changed my AppleID password this morning and now I can't load iTunes gift card numbers to download music. The system keeps taking me to the account screen to verify payment info. When I click on DONE, it takes me back to the password screen.

I changed my AppleID password this morning and now I can't load gift card numbers into iTunes to download music. The system takes me to the account settings screen to verify those and when I click on DONE, it takes me back to the password screen and I start over. This becomes an endless loop. What now.

Greetings Ron,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with gift card issues. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
If you can't redeem your iTunes Gift Card or code
Contact iTunes Store Support
If the code is completely scratched off or you still can't redeem your gift card, contact iTunes Support:
Go to the iTunes Store support page and choose your country.
From the menu on the left, choose Contact Support.
Click Contact iTunes Store Support.
Follow the instructions.
iTunes Store Support might ask you to send these things:
Image of the full front and back of your gift card
Sales receipt showing when your card was purchased
Serial number from your gift card
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Best,

TS3988 How do I change my iCloud account id on my iPhone? I changed my Apple ID and iCloud Id on my PC but I can not change it on my iPhone and now it won't back up.

How do I change my iCloud account information on my iPhone? I had to change my Apple ID and my iCloud ID on my PC but, I wasn't able to change it on my iPhone and now it won't back up.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

I turned of iMessage and now I want it back on and it's not working, I have changed my password and now I don't know what to do. Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? I have done this on both of my iPads and it hasn't let me go back on to iMessage on either of them.

I changed my apple ID password and now facetime cannot verify my e-mail address. I have tried changing my password back but still recieve the same pop up window telling me that the email could not be verified and to check my network but have wifi working

Please help. I changed my apple id password and now cannot use facetime and my icloud continues to prompt me for my password and I continue to give it but, I repeatedly am prompted for the password unless I cancel the icloud. I have tried changing my password back to the password I had before and this did not work. I have tried to use another e-mail address for facetime and had verified that e-mail address and this did not work. I do not know how to fix this problem. I have thought about changing my apple id but am not sure how I would be able to carry over the same credit card number to the new apple ID. I loved my Mac book Pro because I could facetime my boyfriend while I am working away and now I cannot. I am starting to hate Mac.

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

Switched networks, then back and now bonjour no longer works

I was testing my neighbors network then i switched back and now my 2 PCs can no longer connect to the printer through bonjour. I ran the bonjour printer utility and it sees the printer on both, but then as it is connecting it says "you do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer" ive tried everything i can think of, i cant get it to wok on either network, and it used to work on mine. Each time it sees it there but gives the same error. I even tried changing the network name and doing it all over agian like the first day i connected them. I can see my shared folders and access files both form the PCs and the Mac. Its only the printers. HELP!!!

Hi abstractls,
You may be having the same problem as me. If the Airport Express is NOT connected to the internet, the Macs will still work, but the PC print routines say "you do not have sufficient access to your computer to connect to the selected printer" or just "An unknown error occurred during printing". If you reconnect the internet, the problem goes away.
I suspect that the PC is not getting an IP address assigned to it by the Airport Express, and cannot cope without it, but the Mac is OK.
My problem is that I do not want to connect the Airport Express to the net, I just want it to share a printer between Macs and PC. Does anyone know of a fix for that problem? I have told the Airport Express to ignore the lack of an internet connection, but that just switches off the amber light...

I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud

I changed my Apple ID password and now I can't log into iCloud. In addition I am unable to sign out or exit the iCloud System Preference page and have to force a shut down using the power off button to get rid of it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

If the Preference Pane hangs, hit comand-option-escape and force quit System Preferences to avoid having to reboot.
In order to sign out you need the original password if you have set up 'Find My ....'. However you can't now change the password back to the original one (as you are not allowed to re-use a password).In this situation only Support can help you.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.
