The App Store says I have updates for I-Photo and Garage Band. When I try to update I get the following message: You have updates available for other accounts To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." Both apps came with my computer and as far as I know I only have one Apple account. Any thoughts? Thanks.
KarenThanks for you reply. I'm 99% positive that I'm using the user id and password that I used to set up my computer. That's why I'm stumped. I read the solution someone else suggested (type your user name without @gmail and create a new password. When I tried it, I was asked for my birthday. It didn't recognize it. I know I got my birthday correct. Oh well...

HT201274 Will erase all content and settings on ipad affect basic icons?
I want to erase all personal information from my ipad 4, will erase all content and settings work. Will my ipad be reset to factory settings.
If you do that your device restores to factory settings. However, if you just want to remove settings, then just Erase All Settings. It's much faster.

I need to erase all the content and settings from old iPhone 4s. Will doing so affect content on new iPhone 6 which is using the same iCloud account and Apple ID?
No, it will not affect the iPhone 6 content if you wipe the old iPhone 4s.

I keep resetting my password and it continues to say incorrect each time I try to update or purchase apps
I have had that problem. I had an apple I'd as we'll not associated with my email. Once I put it on there I had to buy the apps again. Very upset that I have to pay for app om my iPhone and then turn around and buy the same app for iPad or IPod. This issue with it not accepting my password no matter how many times I change it is very frustrating. Took my password to ask the question but it won't to buy an app! Maybe I will just save my money.

I changed my password on Hotmail [Outlook] but my iphone continually asks me to re enter the password as it is not correct, I deleted the account and re-entered all information but it still keeps saying password is incorrect - sometimes message do come through without a problem but then it starts again saying password incorrect
It's not a problem with the phone. The phone doesn't care what our password is. The serve is rejecting your password, not the phone. Talk to your email provider.

How do I erase all the content and settings on my 8GB ipod touch without the password or the original computer? This is very frustrating and I think I have it in the DFU mode. I can't seem to figure out how to completely restore this ipod touch. Please help.
Did you get a message in iTunes that said iTunes found an iPod in recovery mode? If not then you might have not gotten the iPod in recovery mode. Try using this program to get the iPod in recovery mode:

I wish to reset my ipad (as advised by the Apple Store) to attempt to resolve an issue with a non-responsive part of the screen.. However, when I select General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set). I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad has not reset. How do I get past this? I am now at the point where I have to wait 60 mins before I can enter another random passcode. I just want the ipad to clear down, erase everything so I can start again.
The other option is to force iPad into Recovery Mode.
