HT1311 apple id for apps

my brother hooked my phone up to his computer and now it asks me to sign into his apple id when i try to download an app, how do i change it to mine? i have already signed out and back in but it wil not work

If this is happening when you update apps, you must have one or more apps on your phone that were purchased with his ID. You'll have to delete them from your phone to avoid getting this prompt as apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.

  • Apple ID for app updates does not match new Apple ID cannot get updates

    Can someone tell me how to get the Apple ID for app updates to match new changed Apple ID?
    I can get new apps with new ID but not updates....old ID shows up and will not accept password.

    Your advice is to change my Apple ID again?
    No I gave you a link to try to get a new password to work with the old Apple ID.
    And are you saying that I will not be able to access any updates for apps that were acquired under the original Apple ID and password?
    I am saying that the only way to update apps acquired with the old Apple ID is with the old Apple ID. You cannot update them with a new Apple ID.

    Greetings chaimba216,
    After reviewing your post, I located an article that can help with resetting your iCloud password:
    iCloud: Change your iCloud password
    Your iCloud password protects the privacy of the information (such as your email) stored in iCloud. Your password also protects your ability to locate or remotely erase your device using Find My iPhone. You should regularly change your iCloud password to protect your information. Your iCloud password is the password for the Apple IDyou use to sign in to iCloud.
    Important: If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud as you do with other Apple services such as the Apple Online Store, iTunes Store, App Store, or to purchase products in iPhoto or Aperture, changing your iCloud password also changes your password for these services. Make sure you sign in to those locations using your new password.
    Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your Apple ID password.
    For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple ID: Changing your password.
    After changing your iCloud password, make sure you update it on all your devices and in any email apps you use to get your iCloud email.
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
    On a Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
    On a Windows computer: Open iCloud for Windows.
    In your email apps: Check the help provided for the email apps you’re using.
    If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode.)
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • How do I change my apple ID for apps update?

    My apple ID for apps update differs from my usual apple ID. How do I match them so that I can update the apps (refuses my password)

    I am using the apple ID that I want but my iphone asks me for the old apple ID's password to update the apps and I don't know what to enter since what I enter, prompts a message that says that my password is less than a year old and I need a new one. I don't want the iphone ID but the iTune ID instead

  • Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

    Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

    Free means Free....
    As both Johnathan and Demo have indicated, if it says Free there is no charge associated with it. If you upgrade to a "Pro" version, or if you do in-app purchases, then it is no longer free....but when you initially install the app, you do not pay anything if it says "Free".
    And "Yeah? I'll show you" does not help us to understand what you are talking about. If you want help, then provide specifics and we will help you to figure out your misunderstanding.

  • How to change apple id for app updates

    The user id that displays on my ipod is correct on the settings menu but when I try to update my apps, the apple id that displays (and wants a password) is one that I no longer use.  How can I change the apple id for this one function to my current correct one?  I've tried poking around all the settings and can't find where to change it.  Once it is changed, I can then use my regular password.   Thanks!

    Hi jabsykes,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may have downloaded or purchased applications from two different Apple IDs. To update those applications, you will need to sign in to the Apple ID that downloaded the applications initially. Please use the attached article for instructions on how to sign out and sing in to different Apple IDs on your iOS device.
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

  • Can I have 1 Apple ID for apps and 1 Apple ID for iCloud

    I would like to have 1 Apple ID for purchasing apps and 1 Apple ID for iCloud. Is that possible? If I need to use the iCloud ID for apps, will it get rid of my old apps?

    Yes you can.  Changing your ID won't get rid of any of your previous purchases.  You just won't be able to redownload them from iCloud.  (They are permanently tied to the ID you used to purchase them and you can't switch IDs and redownload under the new ID for 90 days - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627).  So be sure to transfer them to your iTunes library by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  That way you can sync them back at any time without worrying about having to redownload them.

  • Wrong apple id for apps

    The Apple Id that I am using for the i-Tunes store is properly reflected in the phone as an email address.  When I try to update apps on the phone, I am prompted to enter a password.  I noticed on the login screen that the Apple ID has been truncated to only include the name prior to the "@sbcglobal.net."  I enter the password anyway and it does not recognize the Apple ID or password.  What setting is changed so that the ID uses the full e-mail address for app updates?  I have attempted to sign out and log back in but the username for apps does not change. 

    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

  • HT204053 can i use one apple id for apps store 2 devises and icloud every device own id

    Can i use one AppleID for apps store on 2 devises and for iCloud every device owne ID

    To clarify, we share an iPad (original iOS 5.1.1).
    When I use it, I would like to use my individual AppleID that I use for store purchases so I get MY iMessages on both my phone and the iPad.
    It seems to work when I use the iCloud Apple ID (meaning iMessages come through on both units) but when I try to set them both up using my store Apple ID, it doesn't work.
    Help?!?!

  • How can I change Apple ID for App Store?

    I changed my Apple ID, Itunes on my Itouch recognizes it, but the app store does not. How can I change AppleID for App Store? When I try to update my apps it asks for the password for my old Apple ID which does not exist anymore.

    Thank you for the reply. I've done that twice and have no problem getting into the ITunes store. Problem is that I have 12 apps that want to be updated. I go to App Store and slect to "update all" and first thing it does is bring up my old AppleID (no place to change it) and asks for the password for that Apple ID.
    I tried doing a sync to my computer in case that would work, but no help. I wonder if I will have to do a complete reset just to fix this???

  • Transfer Apple ID for apps on iPad without losing game data

    I have 2 ipads. My wife mom passed away so my wife took over iPad. The ipad has my apple id. Then the 2nd iPad belongs to my dad and he passed away year ago. I have took over with my apple id. the problem is there are handful of apps will not update because some of apps asking for my brother and pvz2 asking my nephew id. My son is playing multiple apps for example minion rush, dragon vale and plants vs zombie. I have purchased the apps on first iPad. But the major of the data is much bigger and advanced on the 2nd iPad. If i have already taken over both iPad with my id how come i cannot find setting to switch id. This isn't easy. Im new to mac so ipad is completely different than the mac, is there way to save the data. I cannot use iTunes because it only backs up data I own on the 2nd ipad. I am leary on 3rd party software for example i-explore.  need to take over my id so the app can update. There was some articles about how to turn off document and data. however the settings have changed since I have updated iOS on both to 8.3. ugh

    Apps are always associated with the Apple ID that was used to download or purchase them. This cannot be changed.

  • Using a different apple ID for apps

    I have a really tricky question -
    Somehow I managed to use an old Apple ID to purchase apps, but then forgot the password for that ID.  The email address I used to sign up is now no longer valid. And for some reason my date of birth information is incorrect!  . So there's no way of retrieving that information to reset my password. I have another valid Apple ID which works perfectly for Store purchases, but none of my Apps have been purchased using this other ID.   So I have an IPad and cannot update any Apps at all.  I do also have a MacBook and IPhone 4 too - can they be used to overrride the IPad?
    my question is, how can I change or remove the old Apple ID from my iPad and instead get the new one to be used as the default option?  I've tried all the usual routes via Iforgot etc, - that doesn't work as it keeps asking for date of birth or offers to send a reset password link to an email address which no longer exists.....no one at the store can help either.
    Apple only offer to shut my ITunes account. Not an option.  There must be a way around this!  really grateful for any advice.

    I am having a similar problem. I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a 5S. I set up my new phone with a different Apple ID than the one I used on the old phone. I originally bypassed setting up iCloud and everything worked fine until I upgraded to the 8.0.2 OS. Suddenly, I was being asked for a password to an Apple ID that I don't remember setting up. I am pretty sure that I set up an iCloud account with this ID but have forgotten the password. Also, whenever I go through the process of trying to change the password my birth date is not recognized which means according to this ID I don't exist. The Apple ID I set up for the new phone works for the Apple Store and I am able to download upgrades and apps. However, whenever I reboot my phone I am prompted for the password I don't recognize to sign into iCloud. Then, when I hit cancel a message appears saying that "photos for the iCloud account "iCloud" cannot be accessed. Review your account information in Settings."  When I press on Settings I receive the prompt again for the password. The ID I don't recognize is an @iCloud.com which suggests I must have tried to set up an iCloud account with a different ID and have forgotten the password.

  • How to reset the apple Id for apps?

    My daughter just give me her iPad but some apps still tie to her apple ID. Every time for getting the updates, it ask me for password with her apple ID. Can I change them to my apple ID?

    You can't, all content from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it - so if those apps were downloaded by your daughter then only her account can download updates to them. If you delete and buy/download them with your account then you will be able to download any future updates with your account
