How do I resolve the App Store using another apple id within my family

First time post - please forgive any errors.
I've upgraded to an iPhone 6 from a 4S. I used iTunes on my home computer to perform the backup and restore. It worked great. I can purchase new apps and the correct apple id is shown. The problem is when updating existing apps. The app store requests that I enter my password but the apple id displayed is from my wife's device. I've shut the phone off/on. I've signed out of my apple id and signed back in. Her apple id continues to display. I don't know how to make it use mine - which shows up settings->iTunes and App store.
Thanks in advance for your help.

There is no changing apple id for said app, as you downloaded an app with your wife's apple id, or sync an app that your wife downloaded.
You will need her credentials to update the app, or delete and reinstall with your apple id.

    How do I purchase apps from the app store using coupons?

    Coupons as in iTunes Store Gift Cards? If you go to the iTunes store tab, there should be an option to "Redeem" in the Quick Links section on the right side of the home screen. Enter the code there to redeem the credit, and then download whatever you wish from the store.

    How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?

    The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.

    I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
    Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
    So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
    I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this?
    Thanks

    Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

    I have 0,3€ credits. How can remove them so that I can change to the app store of another country? I need to change to the Chinese app store as the apps I am looking for can be only found there. Thanks for all answer in advance!

    Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to zero your account balance. Note that if you're not in China, you won't be able to use the Chinese App Store.

    I installed OS X DP4 (11A494a) over Snow Leopard, and now I want to install the App Store's OS X 10.7 Lion over Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A494a). However, the App store tells me this: http://d.pr/UsZx

    Make a clone of the entire volume using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. After you have installed the new OS, simply migrate everything you need.

  • Already bought iWork. How do I get the App Store to recognize App purchases that I've made over the past few years?

    I know I'm not the only person experiencing this issue, but I can't find who else has a solution. Essentially, I've been buying Mac Apps over the past few years and using them frequently. Now the App Store exists. Awesome. But how do I get the App Store to understand that I have all those past purchases and serial numbers? I'd love to download the Apps through the App Store because it's a better system of downloading and updating apps, but that convenience isn't worth the extra $300-400 I'd spend re-downloading all those apps.
    Does anyone have any advice or experience with a work around to this?
    Thanks in advance.

    As Carolyn has told you, you cannot opt Apple apps that you have acquired from some other distribution stream into the MAS stream. Period. It does not work that way. It will not be working that way. And many folks have come here wanting it to work that way over the last seven months or so that the MAS has existed.
    If your End User License Agreement does not allow you to install the apps that you have on your new Mac, then the only way to get it today for the new Mac is to buy it from the MAS. The MAS apps use a different type of DRM and there are no serial numbers involved, they are tied to your Apple ID. If you are not ready at this time to purchase apps from the MAS then I would remove the apps from any older Macs and install them on the new Mac to transfer your EULA there. Then when a major paid upgrade becomes available in the future opt that app into the MAS by buying it through the MAS. That should be the only way to get the app in the future, Apple no longer is issuing boxed apps, just currently selling off any of the surviving stock.

  • HT1386 I have synced app from ipad to laptop.  How do I open the app or use it?

    I have synced apps from ipad to laptop. How dow I open the app and use it ?

    iOS apps will only run under iOS.  They cannot be opened, run or used on any other operating system, so they cannot be used on your laptop.  The sync and transfer of purchases apps is merely to keep a copy of the app as backup on your laptop.  While you can re-download any app you have from your iTunes/App Store account, that will only get your the latest release version.  If you want to keep older or previous releases around as backup, then your only copies will be the ones you've copied over to your laptop for safekeeping.

    Hello gmen3,
    Do you have at last iOS version 2.0 or later?  If so, make sure the App store hasn't been disabled from under the Restrictions setting.  To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions. You might also want to make sure it wasn't move to a folder or to another page.
