How do I figure which Apple ID I used to download iMovie? It won't let me update iMovie and I really need to use it.

The issue is likely that you didn't accept the iLife apps that came free on your new Mac into your iTunes/Mac App Store account when you first got the Mac. So currently there is no Apple ID that will help you update these apps.
Do you find these iLife apps in a section for you to accept them when you open the MAS, sign into your account and open the Purchases pane?

    how can i see which Apple ID was used to download an app, cause i cant remember, thanx

    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 find which Apple ID is associated with music in my iTunes? When I sync with my iPad and iPhone it tells me I have music, apps etc from more than five IDs. I am asked for PW for a number of now extinct accounts.

    Go to Settings/icloud. The Apple ID at the top of the screen is the only one you need to be concerned about. That one MUST be a working ID, and you must know the password for it, or you will be unable to use the phone if it ever crashes, you want to update it, or you want to sell it.

  • How do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

    how do I switch my apple Id I use in the iTunes store to the one I have on iCloud?

    You can simply sign out and sign in with the different ID. However, if you have any protected media - movies, or songs purchased before they stopped protecting them - you will not be able to play them, so in that case you are rather stuck.
    You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs. Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream; use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
    There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

  • 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.

  • 2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

  • Our family has multiple apple ids and we are setting up a new apple tv. Does it matter which apple id we use if we have home sharing enabled?

    I have an apple id from my mobile me account; I also have the apple id from my itunes account (with which I purchase content for my powerbook); and my husband has an apple id for itunes which he purchases content for his itunes library on his PC.
    Does it matter which apple id we use to set up our new apple tv?
    what issues are caused by my multiple apple ids?

    You cannot merge apple ids, but you can sign out of the apple id and sign in under the other one either on your phone or your mac. On your phone, go to settings, itunes and appstore, tap your apple id, tap sign out, then go back to home screen, then back into itunes an appstore and sign in with the apple id you want to use.

  • I had to create a new Apple ID but it won't let me update apps because my old account keeps showing up how do I stop that

    I had to create a new Apple ID but it won't let me update apps it keeps showing my old account how do I stop that from happening

    Apps are always associated with the AppleID that purchased them, you cannot use another AppleID with them,
    So in order to update them you must use the credentials that were used to purchase them.
    You can chnge the details (Name and Primary email) for an AppleID instead of creating a new one.

  • I don't know which Apple ID I used to register my Ipod Nano. I had to restore my Computer and now I can't connect my iPod to iTunes again. I have my serial number and ECID

    Hi, I don't know which Apple ID I used to register my Ipod Nano. I had to restore my Computer and now I can't connect my iPod to iTunes again. I have my serial number and ECID. I'm using Windows, BTW, sorry!

    Search your email for the word Logic (and set the search to All) and you should find the receipt (so long as you didn't delete it)
    Other than that.. simply contact Apple directly and ask.. Make sure you have your transaction details ready for them as they will need it...

  • How can i know which index will be used when executing the query ?

    1 ) I have query in which i have 3-4 tables but there multiple index on one column .
    so how can i know which index will be used when executing the query ?
    2) I have a query which ia taking too much time . how can i know which table is taking too much time ?
    3) Please Provide me some document of EXplain plan ?

    Hi Jimmy,
    Consider the below example
    /* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
    CREATE TABLE FIRST AS
    SELECT * FROM all_objects;
    UPDATE FIRST
    SET object_name = 'TEST'
    WHERE owner != 'SCOTT';
    CREATE INDEX idx_first ON FIRST(object_name);
    SELECT *
    FROM FIRST
    WHERE object_name = 'TEST';
    It has not used index
    Execution Plan
    Plan hash value: 2265626682
    | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
    | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
    |* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| FIRST | 58678 | 7334K| 163 (4)| 00:00:02 |
    /* Formatted on 2011/02/04 21:59 (Formatter Plus v4.8.8) */
    SELECT *
    FROM FIRST
    WHERE object_name = 'emp';
    This has used the index
    Execution Plan
    Plan hash value: 1184810458
    | Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
    | 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
    | 1 | TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID| FIRST | 1 | 128 | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
    |* 2 | INDEX RANGE SCAN | IDX_FIRST | 1 | | 1 (0)| 00:00:01 |
    From this we can come to the conclusion that, whether to use one index or not by oracle
    would also depend on the data which is present in the table. This has to be this way as
    we see in the bind peeking, if oracle sticks to only one plan, say only use the full table
    scan, it would be a performance hit when it searches for the second query ie where object_name
    ='emp';
    2.
    If we have a query like below.
    select * from emp
    where upper(ename) = upper(:p_ename);
    Evenif we have the index on ename column, oracle wouldn't be able to use the index, as there is a function in the predicate column. If you need oracle to use the index, we need to create a function based index as below.
    Create index idx_ename on emp(upper(ename));
    Regards,
    Cool
