How to update a free app downloaded on a different apple id

I got the Twitter app on one Apple id, then set up family sharing with another. i am now signed into that other account, but I can't update the app. I tried deleting it to redownload, but the App Store won't let me redownload it.

When you get MBP C and start it up for the first time you will be given the option to transfer data or not. You can transfer data from another Mac or from a backup such as Time Machine. The former requires that you be able to connect the two computers directly together either by Ethernet cable or by having both connected to a local Ethernet network. You can use wireless, but it's very slow compared to Ethernet, so I don't recommend wireless.
If you expect to perform the transfer from a Time Machine backup, then be sure to perform a backup of MBP B just before using it to transfer data to the new MBP C.
This same process can be used from MB A provided it is running Snow Leopard or later.
Also, see Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.

Error: This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again.

I am trying to update iphoto but I have been receiving the error message "This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again." All other IDs I have had NO LONGER work or aren't activated. I deleted the current verison of iphoto, but it still won't work, so now I have no iphoto whatsoever...any ideas? my current ID is my ONLY ID I have.

Apple Closed all other accounts and the logins DO NOT WORK!
Apple would only have closed an account if you called Apple and formally requested that be done. Otherwise, the account is still there.
I was able to delete my old apps and redownload them onto my computer which switch the Apple ID it was under, but I am not having the same luck with iPhoto.
Those would have been free apps that you "bought" again using your new Apple ID. iPhoto is a paid app and Apple will not transfer it to a different Apple ID.

How do i update applications that were downloaded with a different apple id

how do i update applications that were downloaded with a different apple id

You can't. The iLife apps get tied in with not only the Apple ID, but the Mac that they were accepted on.The Mac App Store will always remeber that the iLife apps have been accepted once before already on this Mac and will only offer to update them with the Apple ID into whose account they were accepted.

App Store error: "This update is for an app downloaded with a different apple id"

When trying to update PopClip, I get the following two errors:
"This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again"
After clicking OK, I receive the next error:
"There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)"
This app was not downloaded using a different Apple ID. I have been able to update other apps successfully.
Any ideas?

Hi julia151,
I would first use this article to make sure any extra Apple IDs were not accidentally created when signing up for one of Apple's services:
Apple ID: Finding your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625
If you can't locate one, try using this article to delete and redownload your app:

How do you update an apps on iPad when it says "this update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. I have tried both mine and my husbands ID and it still won't work?

I have tried to update an apps on my mini iPad but it says this update is for an app downloaded with a diffrent Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again. I have tried both mine and my husbands ID and it still does not work.

We'll you can either do as Niel suggested, delete it and download it again with one of the two Apple ID's, or if you want to be sure that one of the two you actually bought the app, look in the purchased tab of the App Store when you are signed into your ID and see if the app shows up in there and if not, then sign into your husband's ID and see if the app shows up with his ID.
After you you figure out who actually bought the app, use that ID to update it. If it still doesn't work, try signing out of that ID, restart the iPad, sign in again and try to update again.

"This update is for an app downloaded with a different Apple ID. Sign in with that Apple ID and try again." But i've only ever had one apple i.d ever .... HELP!

I bought this computer brand new from the Apple Store and when i brought it home a few apps needed to be updated. when i tried it kept telling me that another Apple I.d was used. Ive only had one Apple I.d EVER.

What are the apps that needed updating? What app is asking for a different Apple ID?
SInce it's new, I would return it. It's starting to sound used.
BTW, your MBP isn't running on iOS 7.

When im trying to download a free App an error appears and sais that my previously purchase was declined.how is related a free app with a paying one?

Because that's the way you setup your account. Whether the app is free or not is irelevent, apparently the payment method you selected when originally setting up your account is no longer valid, hence your account is not longer valid. Either fix your selected payment method or setup a new app store account without a credit card:

HT3702 Itunes charged for free app download (Update).

Itunes charged for free app download (Update). No clue why this happened. Can anyone tell me what could be the problem?

If you mean the temporary store holding charge, as described on the page that you posted from, then that is only temporary, it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.
That 'charge' is made each time that you change your card details to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account.
If you mean a 'proper' charge, and it appears on your purchase history and on your credit card, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

HT204088 how do i get free apps without putting in itunes card, or credit card

wondering how i can get free apps without putting in itunes card or credit card, wont let me do this....

Is it a new account ? If it is then unless you use the instructions on this page when creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store - you should be able to remove your card's details after entering them.
If you don't have a credit card then you will need to create a new account, and this time use the instructions on that HT2534 page when creating it. If you want to use the same email address then you will need to replace it on that account first e.g. by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, or via http://appleid.apple.com

History of free App Downloads?

Is there anyway to find out the history of the free app downloads? I know you could go to the market, however that doesn't update frequently, and am concerned my child is downloading unacceptable content and deleting it frequently.
I understand I am able to go to parental controls, however that isn't an option at this point.

I don't know of any way to capture that information after the fact. However, it is possible that the administrators of the market keep a record of downloads. Presuming that your child uses a device with the Android operating system, please launch the Android App Market on your child's phone, press the Menu hard key on the bottom of the handset, then select "Help". You should see a "Contact us with your questions" option. Select it and choose your preferred communication method.

HT1727 I inherited my iPhone & I don't know how to update the 45 apps already on it

I inherited my iPhone from my husband so most of the apps are under his old Apple ID/business email account but his email account is no longer accessable since he has recently retired and no longer can use his business account. I don't know how to update the 45 apps that he purchased that are still on my phone.

Hi barbsapplesupport!
Here is a link that can tell you about updating your apps on your iPhone:
Download and install app updates - App Store - iPhone Basics - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/kb/TI133
It is likely that these apps were purchased under his Apple ID, so in order to update them, you will need to enter his Apple ID and password when prompted. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
