Despite updating apps, still asking for updates?
Hi guys
Hope you can help with this. I have some apps that I updated recently but for some reason when I go to the App Store on my touch, it keeps asking me to update them again. Can anyone suggest something to make this stop? It even acknowledges that it's already installed when I click on any of the updates. I have the latest update.
Thanks
Steve.
I'm seeing the same thing, and it hasn't gone away for over a week now. In fact, if I keep hitting the Updates button, it alternates among saying "all apps up to date" and showing differing lists of apps to update - and sometimes it shows older versions than what I'm running to update to!!
I've tried synching, restarting it, nothing seems to clear it up.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Any ideas?

Updating apps still asks for former appleID??
I recently received an iphone4 as a gift from a friend who updated to the 5. I've associated my appleID w the phone, have my backup assistant on w all my contacts and everything, but when I go to update my apps it still asks for the password to her appleID. I've deleted her account completely from every area on the phone, but this still happens. Does anyone have any info on how to remedy this situation?
thank you all!
ShaunApps have an Apple ID associated with them - namely, the Apple ID of the original purchaser (or downloader, in the case of free apps). Those apps remain the property of that person who holds that Apple ID. Generally speaking, other people cannot use those apps without some type of action, because of ownership issues.
So it sounds like when you received the iPhone 4, you might not have started with a completely clean slate. Starting with a clean slate would involve doing a Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings before doing anything else. It would also involve making sure the iPhone was logged in to FaceTime, iMessage, did not have an Apple ID assoicated with the iTunes Store, and, after the erasing, never had any contact with the former owner's iTunes. -
Mail.app still asks for passwords, i tried everything !
each time I launch mail, it asks me for my passwords (3 for pop accounts + 1 for smtp). I tried to delete the preferences, I tried to delete the accounts and re-create them, I tried "SOS trousseau d'acces", I put the file login.keychain on the desktop, system.keychain too, I tried disk utilility to repair the authorizations, I reboot each time, NO WAY, it drives me crazy ! it looks like every change has no effect on the "trousseau d'acces".
You might try deleting the file located at:

If the quicklook daemon is crashing on it, Mail might be too. -
I have two apple id's and one I cannot remember the password so I made a new one but to update my apps it still asks for the old password... How do I update my apps?
All content and data is forever associated with the Apple ID you used to download it. You should have reset the password for the original I'd.

I am using a friend's iPod, whose account i signed out of, and signed in through my own. But whenever I'm trying to download an update or an app, it's still asking for the other account's password. Please help!!
That Apple ID is stored inside those applications. Leave them as is and ask your friend to do the updating.

Hey. I have recently made an update on my daughters iMac, particularly the update OS X 10.9.4, when finished, its still asking for update and the same update stills remarked as ready in the apple update menu and remarked as 1 to go at the App store app. Why doesn't stop asking for update when its done like 5 times or more? Thanks for taking your time!
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. -
I basically got this phone about 2 weeks ago and i cannot download or update anything . I would mind it asking for my sisters apple password but she doesn't know it so how do i take it off ? It will ask for mine then a few seconds later it will ask for hers . In my settings everything is signed in as me but i just don't get why it still ask for her apple id. I have logged out and reset all my settings and it still ask for her apple id. If i can figure out how do i get her password ?
Any apps that she downloaded onto the device are tied to her apple ID. They cannot be transferred to another account. To update those apps, you would either need her password, or you could delete the apps and download them using your own apple id.

I’m giving my ipad to my sister and I had the icloud account changed. I have added new ID and deleted the old one. However when updating and downloading apps, it still asks for password to the previous account. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks very much!
Maybe you should set it up as new device again:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Apps are tied to the Apple ID they were bought with and can not be shared with other devices that have a different Apple ID. -
When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account. Help!
When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account ID, it shows my dad's. How can I fix this so I can sign in?
It sounds like the apps were purchased using your dads account, so they will have to be updated using that account.

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps.

No. purchases are forever tied to the apple ID used to buy them. Delete them and buy your own copies. -
Iphone app store asks for old apple id when i try to update apps
I recently reset my apple id. However when I try to update apps in my iphone it asks for my old apple id info. When I enter this in it states that the info is incorrect and needs to be reset. However when I download new apps the app store asks for my recently updated apple id info. When I have tried to delete the apps that need to be updated and buy them again, I was charged for the app. As a result I cannot update any apps. How can I fix this?
You changed it wrong. You should have done it this way:

In AppStore.app for some reason when I try to update my apps, it asks for the wrong user account than the one that I am logged in with. This makes me unable to update my apps
You would have downloaded those apps with the wrong Apple ID then created a new Apple ID which is the on you are on now. This is acting as normal because all content downloaded from the iTunes and App Store is attached to the Apple ID it was downloaded with. To stop this you would delete the apps and redownload them with your current Apple ID you are signed in with.

When I update an app it asks for my password (as usual) but now there is no touch keyboard or other way to enter the password. This problem started, I think, after the latest OS update.What's going on?
I tried a reset and it did the trick.

I did the update to take out bugs etc; now when I try to open an app, it asks for my Itunes ID before it will open; this is a pain; has anyone else had this problem or knows how to correct this, assistance gratefully appreciated, thanks
Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.
