How do I download/update apps using my changed Apple ID?

I recently changed my Apple ID on my laptop and I had some difficulties with things on my iPod Touch 5g. Sometimes when I'm doing something my iPod asks fro my password for my old Apple ID. I just want to make it so my new ID will be properly connected on my iPod. So the problems that I'm having are downloading/updating apps on my iPod. I have like 6 apps to update so I try to update them and every time I try to update them it asks for my old Apple ID. How do I make it so I could update my apps without it asking for my password for my old ID?? Help!!!

To make having apps under two IDs as seamless as possible, go to Manage your Apple ID and change the password on the old ID to match the password on the new ID. Then it won't matter which ID is asking for a password, since it will be the same for both:
Apple - My Apple ID

I am trying to download an app using a new Apple ID. When I try and do this it still links the app to my old Apple ID and says I need to enter my old Apple ID password to download it from iCloud. Help anyone?

I'm trying to download an app off of the App Store and the little cloud pops up next to the app I wanna download because I used to have it when I had my old Apple ID. How do I get this off so I can get the app again using my current Apple ID?

Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

How can I download multiple apps without entering my Apple ID every single time?

How can I download multiple songs or apps without entering my Apple ID every single time?

It took me a moment to remember where this was!
1. Open the iTunes app on your Mac and Sign out of your account (Store menu.)
2. Without signing back in go to the iTunes App Store and buy a free app that you already have*.
3. A dialog box will pop up for you to sign into your account. When signing in, be sure to tick the box that says Remember password.
* You can choose any app that you wish, choosing one that you already have keeps you from buying any old app that you may not want.

HT5621 When I am trying to download an app, my friend's APPLE ID is popping up by default as he had used it first after purchase of the instrument. How to change this default ID to my ID?

All purchases are forever tied to the Apple ID that originally bought them and will require it to update in the case of Apps.
If you don't want to be using your friends Apple ID, I suggest the following:
Settings->General->Reset->Erase All Content and Settings.
Then set up the iPad with your Apple ID as new.
Alternatively you can just go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign Out, and then Sign in with your own.
But again Apps will still request your friend's Apple ID to update every time.

IPad App Store not downloading updated apps

I have an iPad 3 64GB that has been updated to iOS 8. In the last two days, the App Store will not download updated apps. It shows them with a red number, but when I click on Update, I get the circle with a square in the middle but then nothing proceeds. If I go to the individual app, it says "waiting…" but if I click it, it does not change to "paused" as it used to when waiting was shown.
My iPhone 5S is not having a problem, nor is iTunes on my computer.
Sometimes, if I sync the iPad with iTunes, the updated apps will copy over to the iPad, but not every time.
I have done a forced restart on the iPad and have also done a Reset All Settings under the General setting.
It appears that something has gone wrong with the App Store app. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix this short of restoring the iPad to new status and reinstalling everything?

Hi,
Try deleting the apps with the issue from iTunes, and then download and update them again.

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
Can I simply download it and not install?
What if the App gets updated before I download it?
Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
Thanks.

There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

How do I download Mac App store on my OS X 10.6.2?

How do I download Mac App store on my OS X 10.6.2. desktop? I am trying to upgrade my operating system?

You must upgrade to 10.6.6 but preferably 10.6.8 in order to have the App store,
You need to have a Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor.
Before you start upgrading, back up your files. If you are unsure how best to do this, the following link is hugely informative. Most commonly used backup methods: Apple Support Communities
Once you have upgraded, if your upgrade took you to 10.6.3 you will need to apply the Combo updater. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and follow with software updates to pick up the most recent security and iTunes updates.
At this point you should have Snow Leopard and the App Store. For the moment we will go no further,

Different account appeared when download & update apps.

How come everytime I download new apps it will show Apple account "A" but everytime when I update the apps it will show Apple account "B"?
Please help Thx..

It's probably happening because you have one or more apps that were purchased with Apple ID B. Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them regardless of the settings on your phone in Settings>Store. The only way to stop the prompt for ID B would be to delete the apps purchased with this ID from your phone.

Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.

How can I download/update my contacts between my MacBook address and my iPhone 5?

Hi,
Can anyone help me on this problem?
How can I download/update my contacts between my MacBook address and my iPhone 5? They don't sync with each other. Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Catwang!
You can use iTunes to sync the two devices. See the KB article, iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer and iTunes for Mac: sync contacts, calendar and other info.
If you want to use iCloud, your MacBook needs to use at least OS 10.7.4 or later. See Set up iCloud on all your Devices.
