How do i change what Apple ID is used to update my apps?

When I first synced my iPod touch (4th gen.) to my computer, my sister uses this computer also, one of her past Apple ID's was the only way to update my apps and whatnot. Now I don't know how to change it to my Apple ID.

You don't.
Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.  You will always have to use that account to update the apps.

  • How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now

    How can I find what apple ID I used to register my iMac when I first booted up? I am being told that by using this ID I will be able to go on to the App store and down load iPhoto at no cost. Is this true? My iMac does not have iPhoto resident on it now and I only purchased my new iMac in December 2012
    Thanks....

    Launch Keychain Access and click on Login in the left hand pane and then on Passwords.  Next do search for Apple in the search field at the top and click on Apple ID Authenicication in the list that comes up.  That will give you the ID no. and password.

    Hi maikeru1,
    If you have your apps synced to iTunes, you can use a similar process to that outlined in the following article (the Get Info command) to show what Apple ID it was purchased under:

  • How do I change my Apple ID to use my @me email address instead of my old email address?

    Hi,
    I recently started to use iCloud and have therfore now got an @me email address. I have managed to make it my primary email address but it won't let me make it my Apple ID even though there is an option to make your primary email address one of the same.
    When I try it says "You cannot create an Apple ID using a MobileMe account. If this is your email address, it is also your Apple ID."
    I can log in to Apple using my @me email address but it displays my old, not in use any more, email address and it really annoys me.
    Does any one know how I can get it to use only my @me address and completely forget my old one?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    There is a lot of confusion about Apple ID and I think this has come about mainly becuase Apple introduced .Me Accounts. Prior to that there was only .Mac. My iCal and Contacts were syncing fine until I visited "Manage Your Apple ID" I was prompted to change my Apple ID and Primary Email Address. After doing so I lost the syncing between devises as my iCloud on my iPhone was set to my .Me account and my MacBook Pro to .Mac.
    Once you've changed your Apple ID and Primary Email Addressto .Mac you can't seemingly go back to .Me which I think is crazy. My work around has been to delete my iCloud Account on my iPhone and then set it up again using my .Mac Account. I now have to do the same on my MBP.
    A word of caution before making any changes always make sure your iCal and Contacts info. are backed-up!

  • Hi, I'm trying to update some apps in my iPhone, and the Id that appears is not my correct ID. How can I change? But this happens only to update de apps, to bye new apps, de ID is correct.

    Hi, I'm trying to update my apps, but the e-mail that appear there to update, is note my apple ID. But when I'm going to buy some app, the e-mail is correct. The problem is when I'm going to update the apps.   How can I change?

    I get it with my original ID, I never changed my ID.  And when I'm getting new apps, it's normal, the problem appear when I'm going to update the apps that I already have.  The other e-mail that appears is another e-mail of mine, but I don't have any ID in apple with this e-mail.  
    I tryed to restore my iphone, but the problem continue the same.

  • How do i change what apple id i want to use when updating apps?

    When updating apps, it shows my boyfriends apple id (we share a plan and both just got 4S). Every thing else shows my apple id. I want to use my own accont to update apps. How do I get rid of his apple id on my phone?

    You cannot.
    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.  You will always have to update them using the same account.

  • Find out what Apple ID was used to install an app

    I've passed an iPad on to my boss and it seems I've left an app on there that keeps asking for my personal Apple ID for update purposes. Of course he's only come to me with this question when he's gone to do an update because there's 20 apps in the queue for update. So I don't know which app it is that is calling for my details so I can delete and reinstall using his ID.
    Is there any way of determining what ID was used to install apps on a device? There are way too many apps now installed to delete and reinstall them all.

    Thanks to Meg and rbrylawski for their comments above.

    Actually, this is incorrect, as my second post above does answer the question.

  • How long can the same publisher ID be used to update an app

    I recently signed an update with ADL 1.5.3 using the original publisherID in the app descriptor and 1.5.3 in the namespace. It currently works fine, updating the original app as expected.
    The original app was signed using ADL 1.5.1 (or 1.5.2... can't remember). Now lets say 6 months (the grace period) elapses and the client wants to update the app again. I'll need to sign the app WITHOUT a migration signature since the grace period for the original certificate has passed. Will users of the original app be able to update without un-installing if publisherID is specified in the namespace?
    I think the answer is no, since that would mean that anyone could spoof anyone's app just by knowing the publisherID. However it's bad user experience to require the un/re-install, and also a pain to develop around (user settings migration from ELS, etc). Can't ADL have some kind of chainmigrate command, where in order to migrate a signature, one could line up certs back to the one that produced the original publisherID?

    Thanks Joe,
    We've rulled out possible errors. Actually the test was repeated from the beginning. All your checkpoints are passed.
    However, there is some new information that would hopefully help. When the new .air file is built, with the migration signature and everything, it actually doesn't get detected as a brand new application, but it fails to unpack:
    Starting app install of file:///Users/triphon/work/triphon_pdc.gugga.com_1666/xxx/head/xxx/air/build/xxxMigrated. air
    UI SWF load is complete
    UI initialized
    Unpackaging to /private/var/folders/DE/DEMJRl6mHJK+f9uulQA75k+++TM/TemporaryItems/FlashTmp0
    unpackaging is complete
    application is bound to side-by-side version 1.0
    application is bound to this version of the runtime
    app id xxxxxxxx
    pub id xxxxxxxx
    failed while unpackaging: [ErrorEvent type="error" bubbles=false cancelable=false eventPhase=2 text="Error #3003" errorID=3003]
    starting cleanup of temporary files
    application installer exiting
    Its totally amazing that the exact same simulation works great, in case we use two active certificates. But with the old build (AIR 1.5.0 namespace), it would get that error.
    Any thoughts would be really appreciated.
    Thanks again

  • HT3965 I got what appears to be a reconditioned (pre-owned) iPod Touch 4 for Christmas.  How can I change the Apple ID on tis device so I can use it with my iTunes Acct and Wi-Fi network?  Thanks.

    I received what appears to be a reconditioned iPod Touch 4th for Christmas.  How do I change the Apple ID on the device to my ID so I can use my iTunes account?  Thanks for any help/

    It would probably be best to attach the iPod to a computer and restore it. This way you'll know it's wiped clean. Then, when you start up the iPod it will ask you for your Apple ID.

  • How do I change the apple ID assigned to an ipad?

    I bought my wife a new iPad, so I am going to use her old one.  I need to change so my apple ID is associated with the old iPad, how is this done?  Thanks.

    That goes back to what I said in my first response. Unless I am misunderstanding you, those are apps that your son bought with his Apple ID, and you cannot update them with your ID. You have to use his Apple ID and password to update those apps. They will not transfer to your ID. If you sign into your own ID, you should be able to download new apps with it. - Free or paid.
    The iOS updates have nothing to do with the ID. If there was an update to the iOS, you would be able to update the iPad no matter which ID you are signed into. The pre installed apps cannot be updated individually. They are updated when the iOS is updated since they are in essence tied to the iOS. They cannot be deleted or re-installed.

    Hi Marg42,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
    My Apple ID
    https://appleid.apple.com
    iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
    Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
    This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:

  • How do I change the Apple ID account on an ipad?

    I was given a first generation iPad by my son.  I managed to change the iTunes account and generate an Apple ID.  However, when going to the applications store or updating the installed software it still asks for his passwork.
