How do I change apple ID for software update?

A technician set up my new computer and now, whenever there is a software update, the app store wants HIS apple ID, not mine.  How do I change that?
Mavericks

Well, the easiest would be to contact the tech and have him redo it the right way (he should know better).
The other way will be that you need to back up all your files because you need to wipe the drive. Restart or boot up using Internet Recovery - holding Command + Option + R until you see a spinning globe. It will take a while, but you will wind up with Apple's servers and a Utilities window. Use Disk Utility to wipe your drive. When finished, go back to the Utilities window and choose reinstall OS X - this will reinstall the original OS and not be tied to his apple ID. You can then update, etc.

    Settings-icloud-scroll to the bottom, select delete, if you want to keep the content select keep, otherwise it'll remove it. Then once it is done add the account information for the account you want on that phone.  Your apple ID in settings-store will remain the same and each device can still purchase/use content from that account.

  • How do I change Apple ID for iCloud account?

    I changed Apple ID online because my email address changed. How can I change Apple ID for iCloud?

    If you renamed your iCloud ID and need to change it on your device, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  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, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • HT5362 How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates? 'App Store' doesn't show in the list of notification apps. I want the background checks for updates, just not the notifications.

    How do I turn off notifications for Software Updates?
    In the 'Notifications' section of the 'System Preferences' app, there is no tab for managing the notifications of System Updates nor App Store.
    Hey--- I like auto-checking for updates, and hey--- I like auto-downloading them in the background.
    BUT I do not like being notified of updates in the middle of working! Especially when it's iTunes updates. Grrrr.
    Any chance this is easy and I just missed it?
    THANKS COMMUNITY!

    Settings > Notification Center > Mail > Select the mail account (if more than one) > Alert Sound > None

    Does apple charge for software updates on ipod (2nd generation)?

    Apple doesn't charge for iOS 4 or newer. To upgrade to 3.1.3(only necessary on the first generation models), there is a charge.

  • How to change apple id for app updates

    The user id that displays on my ipod is correct on the settings menu but when I try to update my apps, the apple id that displays (and wants a password) is one that I no longer use.  How can I change the apple id for this one function to my current correct one?  I've tried poking around all the settings and can't find where to change it.  Once it is changed, I can then use my regular password.   Thanks!

    Hi jabsykes,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may have downloaded or purchased applications from two different Apple IDs. To update those applications, you will need to sign in to the Apple ID that downloaded the applications initially. Please use the attached article for instructions on how to sign out and sing in to different Apple IDs on your iOS device.
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

  • How can I change Apple ID for App Store?

    I changed my Apple ID, Itunes on my Itouch recognizes it, but the app store does not. How can I change AppleID for App Store? When I try to update my apps it asks for the password for my old Apple ID which does not exist anymore.

    Thank you for the reply. I've done that twice and have no problem getting into the ITunes store. Problem is that I have 12 apps that want to be updated. I go to App Store and slect to "update all" and first thing it does is bring up my old AppleID (no place to change it) and asks for the password for that Apple ID.
    I tried doing a sync to my computer in case that would work, but no help. I wonder if I will have to do a complete reset just to fix this???

  • HT1386 how do you change apple ID for apps?

    how do I change my apple ID on my ipod?

    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
      - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account

  • Change deployment package for software updates

    Hi there
    Currently we have different deployment packages and software update groups based on year, product, etc.
    In the near future i'd like to rearange our software deployment process in configuration manager 2012:
    1x Deployment Package for all updates
    1x "Full" Software Update Groups with all updates in it. Additional to that we'll create a "Diff" Software Update Group at the Patchday and merge the updates later via edit membership in the "Full" Software Update Group.
    Are the following steps which i would perform correct?
    1. Select all updates which are deployed and not expired and not superseeded
    2. Create a new Software Update Group "Full"
    3. Select the new Software Update Group --> Download --> Create my new deployment package
    4. Deploy the new software update group to my collections
    5. Delete the obsolete software update groups / deployment package
    6. Delete the old updates source folders on our filer.
    I current don't know if the redownload process let the updates "forget" the old deployment package. With the above described steps i should get rid of all expired and superseeded updates.
    Thanks for any advice :-)
    Regards,
    Simon

    That is correct they only receive and install the updates they require, but don't confuse the metadata and deployments with the updates themselves. They will still receive the metadata and the policies for every update you deploy to them and that's where
    the problem lies. Each and every update assigned to a client (using a deployment) has it's own policy which of course must be downloaded by the client and stored in WMI causing the bloat. Note that I haven't experienced this first-hand but am relying on the
    accounts of others here in the forums but to me, if there is any chance of this being an issue, I would avoid it.
    For Update Groups, just a few categories is sufficient to break things up and I typically do three: workstations, server, office. These are often on different patching schedules anyway so it makes sense to have three separate ADRs for them anyway.
    For packages, I typically organize based on the calendar creating a new package every 3-6 months with the package containing all updates. There's really no need to divide the package up by product unless you have DPs dedicated to a specific product. Note
    that pre-R2, to change the package an ADR referenced you had to use PowerShell -- it's been added into the GUI in R2 though.

  • How do i change apple id for icloud

    My wife and I both have iphone 4s. All info is coming up on both phones(calendar, reminders, notes, etc.) We changed one phone with a different apple ID, but for icloud it keeps showing other ID (main acct ID). Hope you can help.

    If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How to revert my apple id for apps update

    I just upgrade to yosemite and when using my app store to upgrade already install apps it shows me a different apple id and i cannot input my apple id to proceed to apps upgrade!!

    I too have the same question......When I try to update iPhoto on my macbook pro via the App Store, despite being signed in to the app store with my Apple details, the apple id on the iPhoto update has an old email address which can't be changed, as it's greyed out. How do I update to current email address?

  • Requesting old Apple account for software updates on previously owned MacBook Pro

    I recently got a previously owned MacBook. When I go to App Store, Updates. and click "update" on one of the software packages, I get a message:
    You have updates available for other accounts. Sign in to Other.Person'[email protected] to update applications for that account.
    This is preventing me from updating the Final Cut Pro software on the computer.
    Suggestions?

    Delete it and then download it from your Apple ID.

  • Apple ID for app updates does not match new Apple ID cannot get updates

    Can someone tell me how to get the Apple ID for app updates to match new changed Apple ID?
    I can get new apps with new ID but not updates....old ID shows up and will not accept password.

    Your advice is to change my Apple ID again?
    No I gave you a link to try to get a new password to work with the old Apple ID.
    And are you saying that I will not be able to access any updates for apps that were acquired under the original Apple ID and password?
    I am saying that the only way to update apps acquired with the old Apple ID is with the old Apple ID. You cannot update them with a new Apple ID.
