How to download an app *not* from icloud that has been downloaded before with a different account?

Greetings,
If an app has been downloaded before even with an account other than the one I am signed in with, it shows the cloud icon and asks me for the password of the other account.
How do I download it with the account I am currently logged in with?
Thanks

"I'm using the one on the computer, not the device."
Well I said this is happening on an iPad. Reread what is happening from the beginning of the thread, and tell me if the instructions are correct for the iPad. Are you prompted for passwords from a different account that previously downloaded the app on the iPad?
Again
The app is Google Search.
It is free.
(I am always promoted for passwords for both free and paid apps.)
The device is an iPad. That is why I posted this is the iPad discussion.
I am logged in with my account, let's call it A. It shows account A next to Apple ID in the lower left of the Featured page.
When I search for Google Search, and click the cloud download icon next next to the Google Search app, it prompts me for the password to a different account. Let's call it B.
In the app store it shows a cloud download icon next to every app that has ever been downloaded on this iPad, regardless of whether it is account A, B, C, etc
Have you tried logging in with a different account to test this?

    You can redownload them at no cost again via iCloud.  See this article for more information.

    Not on iCloud itself - what you need is 'iTunes Match' which seeks to find versions in the Store of songs you already have, and failing that allows you to upload your own copies. This will cost you $24.99 per year; it does not count towards your 5GB free iCloud space. Limit 25,000 songs (purchased songs do not count towards this limit). You will need iTunes 10.5.1 or later on your Mac or PC and iOS 5.0.1 or later on your iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), or iPad.
    Please see this page: http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/
    Also note that some people have found that when using this facility with songs which contain strong language, iTunes Match is substituting a cleaned-up version.

  • Does an adobe reader read the Adobe acrobat document that has been downloaded from a web site

    I am having trouble opening anything that has been downloaded into a adobe acrobat document . I am wondering if I am suppose to have an Adobe reader to read it and why is it not  being read because it is not a supported file type or because  the file was damaged sent as an email attachment  and wasn't correctly decoded. I am not very computer illiterate and don't understand what I need to be able to get a embroidery designed sent to my computer and be able to open it up.?

    Hi Adpdfacct808,
    PDF is the document standard that you are trying to read. If you have Acrobat installed then you can open the pdf with Acrobat to read it.
    What error do you get when you try to open the document?

  • TV show that has been downloaded but Apple TV streams it anyway.

    When I go to watch a TV show that has been downloaded to my iTunes library, Apple TV streams it, instead of playing off my iTunes downloaded file. Is this how it works? I expect that if I download a purchase, that Apple TV would instantly play the local file, and not bother with streaming. Is this something I can correct with a preference config or some digital voodoo?

    Speednet always clocks me at 20-23Mbps, just checked it. ALL my internet functions seem to work well. Apple TV has no problems streaming, Netflix, Hulu, or iTunes radio. I can play any of my iTunes music library with the Apple TV remote. I have also watched two streaming episodes from Apple TV. Additonally, some DVD's that I had ripped to iTunes will play from my iTunes library on Apple TV. My only problem seems to be purchased TV. They show up in iTunes, they show up on Apple TV, both in the TV shows>Purchased pathway, and in the Computers>my iTunes library>TV shows pathway. They just don't seem to play when try the computer>iTunes route.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Since upgrading to 7.0.3 (iPhone 5 64gb, with iTunes Match enabled) all of my music wiped off my phone.  Downloading it again, most of the artwork has been mixed up with other artists, and I'm no longer able to stream or download over 3G? Any ideas?

    Since upgrading to 7.0.3 (iPhone 5, 64gb, with iTunes Match enabled) almost all of my music has vanished from my phone (weirdly some hasn't).
    Downloading it again, most of the artwork has been mixed up with other artists, and I'm no longer able to stream or download over 3G (all tracks greyed out), though my network settings etc are all set correctly.
    Lastly since upgrading to iOS 7.0.1 (and beyond) Genuis has become effectively useless: it continually asks me to connect to wi-fi, and if I do it creates playlists mostly composed of tracks by the same artists or those very obviously linked to them- previously it created brilliant, nuanced playlists.
    Are these things connected, and how do I fix them?

    I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
    The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
    The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
    Just about time to dump apple I think!

  • How can I import XDCAM footage from files that have been taken off the card?

    Hi,
    I am trying to log and transfer footage that has been taken off SxS cards and put onto an external hard drive. I've downloaded the Sony plug-ins for my computer, but still can't import anything in Log and Transfer. Can anyone help?

    Was THE ENTIRE CARD backed up?  Everything?  The full card structure?  If not, then FCP won't see it...it'll say the directory structure is invalid.  IN that case you might need to use the XDCAM TRANSFER UTILITY...separate app that can transcode the footage to QT FCP can use.
