How can i update apps purchased on an old apple id

Ok, so for about 4 years I have been using my husbands apple id on my Mac and iPhone...now with Family Sharing I'm trying to switch both my Mac and iPhone over to my apple id.  The problem is that the apps that were bought with my husbands id will not update on either of my devices.  What's up, I thought the Family Sharing meant that I could download purchased apps from his account.  Ideas?

You should have simply updated your AppleID rather than creating a new one.
They won't play on my new computer, because they're not authorized to. But that old ID is connected to an email address that doesn't even exist anymore? I have no idea what the password was.

  • How can I authorize songs purchased with an old Apple ID?

    Apparently I have some songs in my iTunes library that I purchased with an old Apple ID. They won't play on my new computer, because they're not authorized to. But that old ID is connected to an email address that doesn't even exist anymore? I have no idea what the password was. How can I authorize my new computer to play these old songs? Or do I just need to kiss those songs goodbye?

    No.
    Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

  • HT2731 How can I update apps when the screen just goes blank?

    How can I update apps on my iPad my screen is just blank. My phone updates fine.

    There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app on their iPads - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
    Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list (potentially going through the A to Z list on the left-hand side of the screen, and similarly tapping the 'iPad Apps' button at the top left of the screen and selecting 'iPhone Apps') to find those with updates and individually update them.

  • I just purchased an iMac.  How can I use apps purchased on my iPhone and iPad on my new laptop?

    I just purchased an iMac.  How can I use apps purchased on my iPhone and iPad on my new laptop?

    1) Congratulations on purchaing an iMac. But an iMac is not considered a laptop.
    2) Apps you bought for you iPhone and iPad can interchange with each other, but can NOT run on an Imac or a MacBook.
    You will have to buy the same title again from the Mac App Store. When you do, you can run them on your iMac and your MacBook.

  • Cant update apps. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it. i can download apps,music with present mac note book but not apps. how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it  . i can download apps and music.  how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

    You need to delete and redownload them to do that. This may require repurchasing paid ones.

    You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).

  • How can I adjust the brightness of my old Apple 24" LED Display?

    How can I adjust the brightness of my old Apple 24" LED Display?

    Jacob,
    Thank you for the quick response. I opened both the TIFF and the EPS in Illustrator. I used the Eyedropper tool to get the CMYK values of the color of the text part in the TIFF, then I went back to the EPS and selected the text and input the CMYK values in the color tab. I know it's not precise, but it's close enough. Could I have done this better?
    Yes, I have access to Photoshop but I haven't tried using it with vector files. I am really new to graphic design and I need all the help I can get. Thank you!

  • How can I sign out or remove the old apple ID in app store's updates?

    I created a new apple id and signed in the app store. When I update my apps, it requires me to sign in with my old apple id, and I cannot sign out my old id. How can I sign out or remove the old id in app store's updates?

    Delete those applications and then download them from the new Apple ID. This may require repurchasing them.
