How do I change ownership of apps?

How do I change the ownership or Apple ID of apps I have purchased off the AppStore?
Some of my apps were purchased using an Apple ID similar to [email protected]  When  iCloud was launched I signed up for it and now have a Apple ID like [email protected]
I want to change ownership of apps from the gmail account to the iCloud account.  I don't want to have to sign in and and out of the AppStore on my iPhone, iPad and Mac to update apps.
Any help on this matter will be appreciated.

Thanks for that link.  Yes, it does clearly state Apple wont allow merging of Apple ID content.  Apple should reconsider this standpoint. Hopefully they will in the future.  Its only a matter of changing a record on their AppStore database.
Its about 40/60 for the apps I have under my Gmail ID and my iCloud ID.  I will keep with iCloud and login into my Gmail ID when I've got lots of apps to update.
Its a pain, but not the end of the world.  It must be frustrating for people with lots of apps on lots of devices.
I am fairly new to Apple, however I feel the whole product ethos is much better than the Windows/PC approach.  I can't stand the fact I have to have a Microsoft email address just login into Windows 8.  I wish I had moved over to Apple years ago.

  • How do I change ownership on iTunes Match from one account to another?

    I purchased iTunes Match using one account but use another as my account for iCloud and my iPhone. How do I change ownership of my Match account?

    I don't think you can.  Purchases made with an account are tied permanently to that account.  This is the reason why it is not a good idea to have more than one iTunes account unlesss you really need to keep them separate.

    How does one change ownership of an event?
    We are running OCS 9.0.4.2 on redhat enterprise linux 3.0
    I have a calendar entry which I got from:
    mySess.fetchEventsByRange(Api.CSDK_FLAG_STREAM_NOT_MIME | Api.CSDK_FLAG_FETCH_EXCLUDE_DAILYNOTES |
    Api.CSDK_FLAG_FETCH_EXCLUDE_DAYEVENTS, hand, in_start, in_end, eventProp, result);
    BEGIN:VEVENT

    DTSTART:20050801T120000Z
    DTEND:20050801T220000Z
    END:VEVENT
    So now I'm trying to save the event under the new owner using this:
    mySess.storeEvents(Api.CSDK_FLAG_STORE_MODIFY,event,result);
    where event reads as follows:
    BEGIN:VCALENDAR

    DTEND:20050805T220000Z
    END:VEVENT
    END:VCALENDAR
    And i've run mySess.setIdentity to change to the old owner and new owner with no success?
    Please how does one change the owner of an event?

    The Calendar Sdk doesn't allow you to change the ownership of an event. (ORGANIZER value).

  • How do I change the Web App Root

    During installation I made a mistake of choosing the compiled output directory as the Wen App Root, whereas it seems that it actually wanted the source directory. Consequently whenever I try to open a source jsp file I get
    Unable to create this part due to an internal error. Reason for the failure:
    The NitroX editor can only be used with the pages located in the Web Application Root directory.
    The Web Application Root directory is the directory containing the WEB-INF folder.
    The text editor is being used instead.
    How do I change the Web App Root directory, I can't find a menu or preference that shows the current value or an ability to establish a new location.

    Does this mean then that you are forced to have a WEB-INF folder sitting beside JSPs you want to edit with NitroX?
    e.g. If my project directory structure looks like this:
    project-root
    |-- dist
    |      |- WEB-INF
    |      |- a.jsp
    |      |- b.jsp
    |-- web
            |- a.jsp
            |- b.jsp[/code:1:daa10af002]
    i.e. I keep my JSP source code in /web but when I run my Ant build the JSPs are copied to the dist directory.
    If I try to edit the files in /web using NitroX I get the error mentioned above. Does this mean I have to make /web the Web App Root directory and thus have to have a WEB-INF folder inside it?
    Cheers,

  • I would like to give my mackbook pro to my daughter.  How do I change ownership from me to her?

    I would like to give my mackbook pro to my daughter.  How do I change the ownership to her?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First of all, did your MacBook come with DVDs? If it came with DVDs, just erase the disk and reinstall OS X:
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 and hold the C key while your Mac is starting to start from the DVD.
    2. Go to Utilities menu > Disk Utility, select the hard disk at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. When the installation finishes, hold the trackpad while your computer is starting to eject the DVD, and turn off the Mac.
    Finally, open http://supportprofile.apple.com, log in with your Apple ID and unregister the MacBook, so she will be able to register the MacBook to her Apple ID.
    If it didn't come with DVDs, do the same but holding Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting. Note that OS X and iLife apps are registered to your Apple ID, so she won't be able to reinstall them or update any of the iLife applications

  • How can i change the Director App Icon for Windows?

    How can i change the icon for my App for Windows? Director can do this from the Publish Settings. The Custom icon for app doesn't work. I select a .ico file for windows and Director can't attach this to the app.
    There is anothe way to do that simple like in Mac with the Contest folder?
    Regards
    Gino Delgado

    You can also try my RiEditor here: http://www.director-online.com/dougwiki/index.php?title=Resource_and_Icon_Editor
    However, to answer your original question directly, I suspect there's something wrong with your .ico file as the feature in the publish settings works just fine, last I tried.

  • How can I change ownership on locked folder? (error 120)

    I had to create a new user after my previous (file vault) sparse image became corrupt. Fortunately I had backup and I'm getting things back to normal with a new user name.
    But several of the folders and files on my secondary internal drive are now locked as read only. The owner is the old name (of the corrupted user folder).
    How can I unlock the folders to change ownership and permissions to my current user name? I am logged in as an administrator. Whenever I try I get an error code 120.
    G5 dual 1.8   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Solved it. Checked the "ignore ownership" box on the secondary drive and I can unlock the folders. Works for now.

  • How do I change a downloaded app from Russian version to English version

    How can I change my Russian version of Kaspersky Internet security to English?

    Just so you know, there are no functional Antivirus suites for iPad or iPhone.  Mainly because they are not needed, but also because the way the system is designed it prevents the Antivirus from doing what its supposed to do because it cannot scan any files outside its own protected file area.
    Basically whatever you downloaded is unlikely to be a real Antivirus or Security Suite.

  • How do I change ownership of an iPad?

    Hi guys,  help me save an iPad !!
    This is a tough one because I do not have access to the previous owner's ID password.   Talking about a 4th gen iPad, 32GB, iOS 8.3 with a badly shattered front glass.     My 5-year old grandson did this.   Done this sort of work before (old MacBook, inverter board), so I got the parts and instructions from ifixit.com and ready get to work on replacing the glass.   But ...., I needed to make sure we can use it fully.   It kept asking for the ID password.  I have already erased it with restore/iTunes connection after trying the other fixes in the book..    Of course, now I need the ID pw to activate it.      It's unusable now.
    This is a divorce situation in a family member.    Go figure.     We are trying to get her to give us the pw or, remove the iPad from her "list of devices" in her iCloud account as specified by Apple instructions.      She has refused to help with this, though the iPad is her son's which I got for him for Christmas sometime ago.   We are still trying to get her cooperation on this.
    OK, that's the sad story of a good, but dead,  iPad. 
    ???  Question:    Is there any way to change ownership of this iPad without its ID pw ???       Well, I said it was a tough one !
    Hope and Thanks,   Mark

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    Unfortunately it is impossible to change ownership of this device without having access to the previous owner's account.

  • How do I change ownership of an I Phone

    I recently moved in with my daughter and she gave me her I phone 4 G, because she got a new phone.  I cannot update the I phone 4  in I tunes because it wants the Serial # of the phone and it keep s coming up and saying " Veronica's I phone"  How do I change this.
    Dottie

    Open iTunes and connect the iPhone.  When it appears in the sidebar select the name field and press RETURN to activate.  Change the name to whatever you prefer.
    This does not change any settings on the phone.  It will change iTunes record of the device name used.  You will need to provide your iTunes with all the information it needs to maintain your data.  Be aware that if you sync the phone on your computer then everything currently on the phone that you don't have on your computer will be removed.  You will have to configure what you want synced to the phone.
    I suggest you get the manual: IPhone user guide.

  • HT4623 I am trying to update my apps with a new user ID - I have changed it in settings but how to I change it in apps store - it keeps asking me for a password for my old user id?

    I am trying to update my apps using a new user ID.  I have changed it and I can't get it to change in the App Store.  It keeps asking me for a password for my old ID??

    YOu can't update your apps with the new apple id.   All apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchased it, you will need to enter your password from you old id to update.
