How to update (free) IOS apps after changing Apple ID

So I inherited my daughter's phone when she upgraded and I switched everything over to my Apple ID (iCloud, App Store, iTunes, etc.)
Now, it refuses to update apps -- even free ones like facebook, instagram, twitter -- unless I provide the password to HER Apple ID (presumably because she downloaded them under her ID.
Apart from deleting and re-installing, is there a way to do this?
Thanks,  Hugh.

Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to purchase/download them.   And will always require it to update, there's no way to get around that.
For free Apps, you can delete them, and re-download them with your Apple ID with out any issues.    Purchased Apps will need to be bought and payed for with your Apple ID.

  • Can you update an iOs app and change its platform offering from iPad/iPhone to just iPad?

    When building a new app with Adobe DPS to update an existing app, can you update an iOs app and change its platform offering from iPad/iPhone to just iPad?

    Vinod is correct in that you can build a new app that's iPad-only, but if you try to submit it as an update to the existing app, Neil is correct--Apple will reject it because it's considered a downgrade. You either need to stick to the universal app and do something like create a single iPhone folio that refers users to the iPad, or you need to submit it as a new app.

  • How to retrieve messages on iMessage after changing apple ID?

    I had to delete the email account that was associated with my Apple ID, so I changed my Apple ID, but all my previous messages on iMessage disappeared.  Is there a way I can access these from my Apple account?  I was receiving messages on an iPad.

    If you created a new apple id then its not the same account.
    If all you did was change an email address associated with it, then thats different. You should be able to access messages as before.

    Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
    If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
    you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.

  • HT201272 Cannot download pervious purchased app after change country my AppleID registered..

    Cannot download pervious purchased app after change country my AppleID registered..
    How could I get app updates without change country back to origional country where I purchased app.?
    I have purchased lots apps on 2 country by same AppleID.
    It does not make sense to change the country setting.
    Due to in some country, iTunes online store only offer music/movies but NO TV show.
    So I change registered country of my AppleID to US store.
    Now I could purchased HD/1080p movies/TV shows, but cannot get app updates on iTunes which I purchased on pervious country.

    You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...

  • HT4623 How to update iPad iOS 5.1.1

    How to update iPad iOS 5.1.1??

    If you need serious updating you might be in the market for a new ipad. If you do that, you can sell your ipad, though you won't get much $ for it these days. However, if you have a very Senior citizen in your life you might set it up for them with family pictures, music they loved years ago, some books, and get them online. These also help memory. Someone out there might find it a priceless gift.
    Also, the Apple online only Certified refurbished Store has deals on refurbished ipads. Each comes with a brand new front and back cover, a brand new battery, a full one year warranty including 90 days of free phone support, and it comes in a white box like a new ipad with the cables. We have two and they have been great. Shipping is free. I suggest if you buy refurb, you only buy it on the Apple website. 
    These sites listed below might help you get some older versions of apps.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT4972 hello friends i have a problem in my ipod touch it has 4.2.1 version of software but it doesnot supports any aps so how to update the ios please anybody help me..

    hello friends i have a problem in my ipod touch 3g it has 4.2.1 version of software but it doesnot supports any apps so how to update the ios 5 or more than this please anybody help me..i am in trouble.

    I suspect you really have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
    Otherwise connect to yor computer and update via iTunes. Yo need iTunes 10 or later on the computer.
    To more easily find compatilbe apps for 4.2.1
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • How to updating plugin.xml when it changed in 12C?

    After Importing the Plug-in Archive and Deploying it on Management Service with 12C, I need to make a change with plugin.xml in Plug-in Archive. Here it's the change,
    --- Old one:
    <PluginAttributes Type="MP" ReleaseStatus="Test"/>
    --- Change to:
    <PluginAttributes Type="MP" DisplayName="MySQL Database" Category="Databases"/>
    So I un-deployed Plug-in from Management Serbice, and used command "emcli import_update" to update the brand new OPAR file successfully, and the deployed again. But it seems the new plugin.xml didn't work at all, neither from UI nor the plugin.xml located under Management Server folder. I am sure it should work cause after I changed the Target Type and etc. in all related files to made a new plug-in, it works well.
    So how to updating plugin.xml when it changed in 12C? (It seems there is no option with MRS.)
    Thanks in advance!
    Best wishes,
    Satine

    Hey Caroy,
    Thank you for your help.
    It seems there is no entrance within page "Setup->Extensibility->Self Update" to delete a plugin. Would you please tell me more specific position?
    I will upgrade the version of plugin and try again to see if it works.
    Thanks,
    Satine

    I don't understand why I can't download for free the apps designed by Apple, such as Pages and Numbers, which are free with iOS 7. Can anyone help me?

    The apps are free with iOS 7 if you purchased a new device after September 2013. The apps do not come free just because you are running iOS 7 now. Did you purchase or receive a new iPad recently?
    If you did, are you using the same Apple ID to get the apps that you used to activate the iPad? If you are, sign out of your ID, restart your iPad, sign in again and go back to the App Syore and see if the apps show up as free.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad and go back to the settings and sign in again.

  • How to update to iOS 5 on iPad

    I would like to update my iPad to iOS 5. How do I do that?

    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
    Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes (on iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
    Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    An iPad 1 will update to iOS 5.1.1, and an iPad 2 and 3 to iOS 6.1 - they are the only versions that are 'signed' by Apple for them.

  • HT4972 I have an Ipod touch version 4.2.1 and the instructions do not detail how to update to iOS 5. Can you help with me step by step instructions.

    I have an Ipod touch version 4.2.1 and the instructions do not detail how to update to iOS 5. Can you help me with step by step instructions.

    iOS 4.2.1 suggests that you may have 2nd generation Touch, which cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1
    Check http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353  for help in identifying your model. A quicker method may be to check the back casing. If your iPod has Model No.A 1288 etched into it, then it's a 2nd gen Touch. 
    Assuming that you are using the latest version of iTunes (today, that is 10.6.3), to check if your iPod can be updated, connect it to your iTunes and look on the Device/Summary pane. Select Check for Updates. If there is one, you will see a message telling you that and how to install it. However, if you see a message saying that your iPod is up-to-date, then it cannot be updated.
