How do i change my apple id to update apps

I changed my apple ID however when I try to update my Iphone apps, my old apple id pops up and it asks me to enter the password. It has not updated the apple ID therefore I cannot update apps. Help?

Your dialog shows you are on iOS 5.1.1, so tap Settings App > scroll down to Store, tap > tap Apple ID: > Sign Out > Sign In. Make sure you have Wi-Fi connection or your Cellular Data is ON.

How do I change my Apple ID to update apps on my macbook?

My sister gave me her MacBook Pro (she got a new one) and now I'm trying to update iMovie on the App Store, but everytime I do it it says 'Updates are available for other accounts' and it says 'sign into (my sisters apple ID) to update applications for that account.
I made a new Mac account, and I signed in at the start with my own Apple ID, so if anyone can tell me how to update the iMovie??

That's a known problem and there's not other fix than using your sister's Apple ID. It happens because, when you first set up the computer, OS X, iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand are registered to the Apple ID used to set up the computer, in your case, your sister's Apple ID.
Once you do that, you can only reinstall OS X and update iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand with that Apple ID, not a different one. Also, you can't transfer purchases from other Apple IDs, and you can't buy the applications again to have them registered to your Apple ID because the App Store detects that they came for free with your computer

On my iPhone 6 how do I change iPhone apple id for the app store. it is in someone elses name?

hello I need help,
on my iPhone 6 how do I change iPhone apple id for the app store. it is in someone elses name?

Why is it in someone else's name?
Did you get this iPhone from that someone else?
If so they should have released the iPhone form their account before giving it to you.
All purchases made with that account will be forever tied to it and will require it to update in the case of Apps.
If nothing has been purchased, you can go into Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID and sign out of their account there , and sign in with your own.

How can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?

how can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?

Before you make an apple ID with the new email, go to appleid.apple.com. login with your old email and password. change your old email to your new one. Now you can use your new email as your apple id, but beware if you go through the process of creating a new appleid with your new email address you will not be able to attach your old account to your new email.

How do I change my Apple ID in the App Store?

I have two Apple ID profiles; one Canadian and one US. I want to only use my US Apple ID. In my iPad iTunes & App Store settings I can see that I am signed in under my US Apple ID however when the App Store prompts me to update apps, it request the password for my Canadian Apple ID and I can not find any way to change this.
If these Apps were originally downloaded from my Canadian ID and changing the App Store to my US ID would require me to download all my apps again then I would be happy to. I would be willing to delete my Canadian Apple ID if the is what it takes but I don't know how to do that either.

You need to delete those applications and then download them from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid ones.

How do I change my apple id for updates

I have been able to change my apple id on my phone but when i go to update my apps it is still asking me to sign in under my old id. How can I change that?

Go to Settings/iTunes & App Store, sign out, and sign in with your updated Apple ID. This assumes that you just changed the Apple ID email address on your existing account. If you created a new Apple ID there is no way to do it; apps are forever associated with the account they were downloaded from.

How do you change the iTunes ID when updating apps? 3 people use the same iPad with different iTune IDs.

When trying to update apps on iPad2, someone elses iTunes ID is already showing when it asks for a password. (all in the family)
How do I change to my iTunes ID? I checked settings & it is correct there.

Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap on the ID to sign out of that one. Then tap Sign in to sign in with another ID.
If you have problems switching the ID's you may want to restart the iPad before you sign in with the new ID.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Doesn't it get confusing using 3 ID's on one iPad?

How can I change my apple ID from the APP store so I can update my app? my computer is stuck with an old email and won't let me change it..

Hello, Im trying to upgrade Imovie and whatever app are about to update in the future, the problem is the my Imac is stuck with an old email on the APP store. I try to change it and nothing happen, when I put my apple ID it send me to change the password and what Im trying to do is to put my new email in the system so would be able to update my computer. You know when you press the update button a little box drop with your email and all you have to put is your password thats where my old email is stuck pls someone help me with that little problem i'll appreciate it... thanks

An Apple ID isn't necessarily "linked" with your email other than for recovery reasons. So, as long as you know the Apple ID password, an old email isn't catastrophic. Apple ID != e-mail.
Now, if it's really bugging you and you really want to change it, if you log in to http://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address, this should update your Apple ID. There will be a couple hoops involved with this (i.e. verification of email change by sending email to rescue/alternate email. Alternate email can't be the same as the new primary. The new primary can't have ever been used as/with an Apple ID. etc...).

How do I change the apple ID that the app store is using?

I am suddenly unable to download or update any apps from my ipad2 because it is attempting to use an old apple id even though I have changed it in every setting that I can find on the iPad... I'm baffled, has anybody seen this before?

I am having a similar problem, except my ipad2 is using my wife's apple ID when I try to update my apps, even though my correct ID shows up everywhere I can find to check it. I have set my ipad2 back to factory twice and reloaded from ituneso and iCloud, but I still can't get rid of this issue. My wife has never used my iPad and did not change it. Both are cOnnected to wireless network at home. This seems to have started when apple started the iCloud servIce a few months ago. It also seems to have put some apps on my iPad that were on her iPad. I have spent ten hours trying to correct this and am ready to give up and consider that I will eventually have a $600.00 piece of worthless Chinese
Crap! I suppose I could spend money with apple to figure it out, but I believe they caused it and why should I pay them for something they caused? It's like dealing with Microsoft, not apple!

How do you change the apple id that your app store is using?

when i go into settings there is no app store in my settings and for some weird reason my app store is using my sisters apple id. can any one help me out?

There should be an iTunes and App Store setting in Settings. However, it the iTunes and App Store is hidden by Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) that setting does not appear.

Wrong Apple ID: How do I change the Apple ID prompt when Updating All Apps?

How can I change the (wrong) Apple ID from the password prompting dialogue when I am already signed in Apple Store with my own ID?
More details of my problem:
When I try the Apps' Update-All option in my iPod 4, the password dialogue prompts me with my girlfriend's Apple ID; YET, I AM signed in the Apple Store with MY own Apple ID.
I have already verified my ID under Settings/Store. I have also signed out, signing back in with my Apple ID, just in case. No problems there, for I DO sign in with my own ID ok. The problem is just the prompt dialogue for password, when I try to use the 'Update All' feature it prompts me for password with her ID, not mine.
If I go back to Apps and choose the Categories (or Top25) menu, at the bottom of the page, it shows me signed in (my Apple ID). If I try to update one Apps it will do ok. But if I try to Update All it will prompt me for password using her ID, waiting for me to type in HER password. I cannot change the Apple ID on that dialogue (static). If I use my password, it will return the "wrong password" dialogue.
How can I change the prompt for the Update All? What is going on here that I AM signed in but my iPod prompts me with her ID. My iPod is registered under my Apple ID. I have already tried the Hard reset by pressing Home and Power buttons simultaneously, to no avail. I am also using my own network to go Online. I am also with the latest OS in my iPod and my Mac's iTunes.
Thank you!
PS This problem is not occurring in my iPhone 4 (same account) nor my Macs.

Does not work for me. (My iPhone is not jailbroken.)
I downloaded a paid app "Imray Marine Rules and Signals v1.5" in the USA with my original account (Account1) then moved countries and needed to create a new Apple account (Account2). If I get 'Info' for the app, it is registered to Account1.
A new version 1.6 of the Imray app has now been released.
I have set up only Account1 on the iphone (settings - App Store) and both Account1 and Account2 in iTunes on my computer. My iphone always tells me there is 1 app to update. However, when I try to update this app on my iphone, I get asked for the password for Account2, then the download fails as it says I do not have a paid earlier version to update.
When I am logged into my computer iTunes as Account1 and try to update it on the computer iTunes, it says there are no apps to update (although my version of the app is definitely the old version).
When I search for the app in iTune Store, it tells me I have already downloaded version 1.6 of the app and the download button is grayed out.
If I temporarily delete the app from my iTunes then try to re-download, I am asked to purchase it again.
If I log into iTunes as Account2 then try to download it, I am asked to purchase it.
Any ideas? I feel I have tried every option and no success.

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
3. Other issues
If you see a lock screen when trying to boot from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information.
