How to update an app purchased with a different account?

Im trying to update iPhoto & iMovie which came with my macbook pro, but everytime I try it says "Sign in to iliketrenchcoats@****.com.au to update applications for that account." But the problem is I CANT! That account doesn't exist. My apple ID is iliketrenchcoats@****.com I can't just unistall it and re install it because It wont let me & I am afraid even if the Appstore did I would have to pay money to re install it. PLEASE HELP

I can't explain how you did it, but you appear to have registered your iLife apps to a faulty version of your Apple ID. (BTW, it's best not to post email addresses in your comments!)
I suggest calling Apple Care for your country and ask for help unregistering your Mac and the bundled iLife apps from the faulty email so you can start over and use the correct Apple ID.

HT201079 Buy app with acct X, then setup acct Y as shared and swithc a device to use acct Y. No you cannot update app because it was "purchased with a different account" even though they are shared

Prior to Family Share we had devices sharing a common account for purchases
We setup Family share an switch the App Store account on some devices to those shared accounts
Now when we try to update existing apps it refuses stating that they were purchased with a different account
Well yes they were, but it is a shared account.
Do we really need to un-install all apps, loosing any data, then reinstall using the shared account ?
If so I think Family share is a non-starter.

How to turn your computer into a Virtual (Personal)Router.
Our hotel the Grand Oasis Cancun provided internet for only 36 hours and you could only use it on one device which comes to my next option as using your Laptop as a Personal Router to broadcast WiFi to any devices near your computer. Our room was on the Second level of the Pyramid at Grand Oasis and I was able to access it while at the VIP lounge below our room. Before our supposedly free internet service ended.
I attempted using the hotel next door since I was getting a good signal from the Omni Hotel. They offered complimentary 24hr internet access using your browser as a way to track your use. Once you find the signal of the Omni it will open your browser I used Google Chrome, after it opens you go threw a few simple steps and your ready.
I learned that after the 24 hours are up all you have to do is disconnect from their network, just run Ccleaner(free program) then find the Signal of the hotel and you will be given another 24 hours. What Ccleaner(<--download there) does is clears anything attached to your browser ie cookies temp files etc. it cleans your browser history giving you a way of not paying for the hotel fee of internet and giving you free WiFi. this is only if you are next to the Omni hotel :).
What you need to download to turn your computer into a hotspot need to say is this little easy to use program Virtual Router. Once it has download test at your home to make sure it works with you devices. This will work with Tablets, Phones and other computers that cant find the Omni WiFi signal. Your welcome. To use it, is simple. Open program>make a password>select WiFi and start VR.

How to back up phone with apps purchased with multiple iTunes accounts

It's a long story, but my iPhone has apps that were purchased through multiple iTunes account.
Is it possible to create a backup of my phone that accounts for all of these apps? Last time I tried backup in iTunes, it only backed up the apps purchased with that particular iTunes account, but not others.
Should something happen to my iPhone and I need to restore/clone my phone, I want all my apps -- regardless of whose iTunes account was used to purchase them -- to be restored.
Any quick and easy way for this?

The backup does not include any apps. It only includes the list and arrangement of apps; which are then reloaded when you sync after restoring.

Has anyone solved the problem with updating apps initially purchased with a different account?

Just wondering if there was any hope that this bug would be fixed... Specifically, you cannot change the AppleID associated with an app...so when you try and update an app (even a free one), you can't if it was purchased using a different apple id from your current apple id. I have 54 apps that cannot be updated!

No. It was designed to work that way.

How to re download apps purchased using 2 different debit cards?

I purchased apps using one debit card initially and then downloaded apps using another debit card. But the appstore only shows the apps that i had downloaded using the latest card.How do i download all the apps that i had purchased using my apple account?

Hello Illaass, thanks for the response.. I have been using the same apple account since i got my ipod. I havent changed it at all. But the first debit card i used expired and i had to get a new one,which had a different number. I have downloaded more than 30 paid apps and only some of them are listed on the account. Does the store of a particular country have anything to do with this? I downloaded a few apps when i was in UK and a few from India. Both were from different app stores. But when i try to download apps, mainly games from the store, which i had previously purchased, the store asks me to buy again. Just cant figure out a way to sort this out.

How can I pay for storage with a different account then iCloud

Hi,
I used to live in Hong Kong, so my iCloud ID is under HK.
Recently I moved to Canada, so I made an account for the Canadian App Store, and only have a credit card on that account.
I wanted to buy 20GB on iCloud, but it's showing me the rates in HKD. How can I get it to pay with the CA account in CA rates? If this involves switching iClout account, how do I do it and how can I transfer the back up?
Also is it possible to pay using debit? I would much prefer to pay with debit.
Thanks in advance!

No really true Erasing All Contents and Setting will delete all content for the iPod, inclucing items he purchased but he will be able to redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How do you do home share with in different accounts on the same computer?

How do you homeshare within different log in accounts (and itunes accounts) within one computer?

Simply connect them. One computer with one iTunes can manage multiple devices. They're tracked by S/N but you might wish to assign them unique names so that you can track them yourself.
The only minor issue is app updating and purchases while on the computer. It's necessary to log out and back in to the "correct" ID. Much easier to do these things from the iPods.

How do i approve my kids app purchases with family share

how do i approve my kids app purchases with family share on my iphone?

Hello andrewmarkp,
With Family Sharing, you can approve purchases with the Ask To Buy feature. The following article provides helpful information:
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
Approving purchases with Ask to Buy
You can turn on Ask to Buy to require approval for purchases initiated by any family member who is under 18 years old.*
iOS 8
Tap Settings > iCloud > Family, and tap your family member's name.
Turn on Ask to Buy.
OS X Yosemite
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
Click Manage Family and select your family member's name.
Select Ask to Buy.
Ask to Buy is enabled by default for any children under 13 years old, and can be enabled during the setup process for any children 13-17 years old.* You can't turn on Ask to Buy for adults.
If you don't wish to be billed for purchases initiated by a specific adult family member, you can remove that family member from the family group.
*Ages may vary by country or region.
Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group and are recommended for full functionality. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing. Content can be hidden by family members; hidden content is not available for download. Content downloaded from family members or acquired via redemption codes is not subject to Ask to Buy.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

How do I transfer app purchases on my iPhone to my itunes library on a Windows machine?

I'm on Windows 8.1 and using iTunes 11.1.5.
I was just going to update my phone from iTunes and I got a messege saying (paraphrased), "There are apps on this phone that aren't in your iTunes library. You should transfer all app purchases to your iTunes library before continuing." I decided to just download without updating, but now I'm wondering, how do I transfer app purchases to my computer?
Supposedly (according to mac users who I've seen post this in this community) they get a dialog when they plug their phone in asking them if they want to transfer their app purchases or if they want to synch their phone. I only get the option to synch my phone. So, how can I transfer my app purchases into my iTunes library? (I know how to back the phone up, I don't think that's the same thing).
Thanks!

The iTunes source list is where you select things like your Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, AudioBooks in your iTunes library, and where your iTunes playlists for music is located.
Selecting your iPhone under Devices in the iTunes source list is how you make your various selections for syncing content with iTunes on your computer.

MY wife has an Iphone 4 and I have a 5. To date we have used one apple account to manage music purchases/library. I updated ny phone to the new OS version and all her texting is showing up on my phone. I understand if i create an apple account for her I will not see her texts. Recently we bought a Mac and created a new apple account for her. How do I synched her phone with new apple account and get access to the music library under my account on the new MAC laptop before I update her phone to the new OS?
Going forward if I purchase music under my apple id and want her to have it on her device, how can I acheive that?

You can continue to share an Apple ID for purchases.
Sign her in to her new account here:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (Keep on Phone if you want to transfer contacts, calendars, etc...) then sign in with her new ID
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign out then in with new
Use the same Apple ID here:
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID
