HT1311 The wrong account pops up for password while updating apps

I have a problem with updating my apps. Well, i created a new account and am currently using it in both itunes and my device to download apps but when i want to upate my apps, my other account pops up for password but i can't use it. Anyway i want my new accout to pop up when updating, what can i do?

You have to log into the account that purchased an app to update an app. You you have apps that need updating that ere purchased from more than one account you have to update them individually until and the remaining apps that need updates were purchased from one account.

  • IOS 6 keeps asking for password to update apps when it shouldn't.  Is it my phone?

    Isn't updating apps supposed to not require an iTunes password anymore in iOS 6?  I thought that was the case, but my iPhone 4 keeps asking for one when there is an update available.  Does anybody know what to do besides restoring?  Anyone else having similar issues?

    I have a hunch that, for me, the issue is because I have two different accounts synced.  I have my parent's account for the App Store and my personal account linked to iCloud and all those services.  I've noticed that when I update apps, I would sometimes have to log out of one and into the other because one app might be on one account and not the other.  I'll get around to moving everything to one account sooner or later, but it isn't an immediate issue to me.  Just a minor inconvenience.

  • I forgot my icloud id and password. i want to delete the id. i forgot the password. if i try to delete the account its asking for password. i cannot find how to delete the account. Please anyone can help me out???

    You aren't going to be able to delete it without the correct password.  If it's your ID, you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625.  If it isn't your ID, you will have to get the password for the person who owns the ID.  There's no way around this and no one else can help.

  • When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

    When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

    Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
    I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
    Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
    I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
    Thanks

  • New iPhone 6 asks for my girlfriends password to update apps, even though the phone is connected to my itunes account?

    My phone is hooked up to my iTunes account, but when i go to update apps, it asks for my girlfriends iTunes password? I only go the phone today, but havent had this trouble before with iPhone 4 or 5.
    Can anyone enlighten me as to whats going on? - Thanks

    If that's the case you may have to disable wifi syncing in her user account using her iTuens library.  I'm really not sure though.  If someone does, hopefully they'll jump in here.  The problem with chaning libraries is that when you do, iTunes will delete any iTunes media on the phone and replace it with the media in the iTunes library you sync with so hopefully this won't be necessary.

  • Whenever i want to update my apps the iTunes box pops up for you to sign in but the account it's asking me to sign into isn't mine and i do not know how to sign in using my account

    The email that iTunes wants me to sign into is my mums which is weird because my mum has never touched my ipod so i don't why iTunes is asking me to sign into her account.
    I've tried finding ways to change it but i can't seam to.
    Another thing is that when i download an app, iTunes manages to get the email right and the box pops up with my email account and not my mums.
    Please help me change this because i cannot update my apps.
    Many thanks

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    To change the login
    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
    You may have apps purchased with her account that need updating.

  • When I synced my iphone to our computer, it took on my husbands apple id account and now it asks for his password to update apps.  How do I get mine back?

    When I synced my iphone to our computer, it took on my husbands apple id account and now it asks for his password to update apps.  How do I get mine back?

    Yes, you can delete them from your phone by tapping the icon until it jiggles, then tap the black x.  You can verify that your Apple ID is still correct for future purchased by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID (at the bottom).  If it's wrong, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using your ID.  Then you should be good to go.

  • I uploaded my Itunes cards to the wrong account. I am trying to by an in app upgrade, but the app was purcahsed on a different account. How do I transfer the money to the different account?

    I uploaded my Itunes cards to the wrong account. I am trying to by an in app upgrade, but the app was purcahsed on a different account. How do I transfer the money to the different account?

    If you have not spent any of the money from the card, go here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. They may be able to restore the money to the card so you can redeem it through the correct account. If any of the money has been spent, then there will almost certainly be nothing the iTunes Store will be able to do for you.
    Regards.

  • BT Cloud activated on the wrong account

    I assume you have two accounts registered under the one MyBt account. This is yet another reason why BT Cloud needs a separate username and password.

    I have 4 email accounts in apple Mail.  My mail is sending from the wrong account.  even on "reply" it sends from a different account.  I have 3 gmail accounts and one exchange server account. I choose which account to send from and it still sends from the same gmail account.  Help.

    I HAD two accounts because of this problem.  I completely removed the problem account from the Apple Mail client.  Guess what is happening??  That's right - Mail is still sending from the other account that no longer exists on my computer, and I have absolutely no idea how this is happening.  This is incredibly frustrating.  When a recipient chooses to reply to my message, quite often I won't get it now because it is going to the other account that has now been deleted from my system.  COME ON APPLE!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS???
