HT1918 I have updated my email address. Now I can't download the apps I have bought with the previous (no longer in use) email. What is going on?

I have updated my email address.
The system does not link my previous account (previous email) to my edited email. Therefore I am not able to update apps and have no acces to the apps I have bought in the past.
Can someone please explain how do I access the apps I have already bought?

I started the process in iTunes.
Apple give us the option to edit our email.
As I am no longer using "old email" I have decided to edit and update my information with "new email" (APPLE ID > Edit).
Affter I did it the system simply does not recognize all purchases I have made with "old email".
Apple response:
Luiz I noticed that your account "new email" was formerly named "old email".
If your computer is not currently authorized to play this account's purchases, when you double-click an item you purchased before you renamed the account, the authorization dialog may show the old account name. If this happens, you will need to remove the old account name "old email" from the account name field, type the new account name "new email", and click Authorize. This authorizes your computer to play the account's purchases.
Luiz: "I just cannot see any of the old purchased items". My computer is authorized.

    What happens when you try... What Troubleshooting Steps have you tried...?
    Are you using the Same Apple ID that Purchased / Downloaded these Apps..?

  • I have just updated my iphone4 and now I can't download any apps, its saying I need a valid US address?? any how much appreciated.

    Any helpful suggestions to explain why I can't download any apps will be appreciated.
    Its saying I need a valid US address I live in Australia? dont know why its asking that.

    You can only access the Store of that country your account is registered for. Did you buy the apps using the same account? If you have a billing address registered in Australia, you can't buy in the US Store.
    Can you update the apps in iTunes on your computer?
    Did you log into your iTunes account and check your info?

    Hello there, Gwald.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers some great recommendations for troubleshooting your issue:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Specific to iPad are the following:
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

    Iphone 4 I updated to iOS 7 and now I can't download no apps? What do I do to fix this problem?

    If you'll take a look around, almost every 5-10 minutes someone is posting on this subject. I'm personally having the same problem. Everyone (including seniors) is saying that it's just a waiting game. The servers are overloaded, and it because there are millions of people just like us, trying to do the same thing we're doing right now.
    Rest easy....I'm coming to terms with it myself. No sense in freaking out. We're either fudged, or not fudged.

  • I have created my apple id.Now when I m downloading any app it is asking my credit card details again forget that I hv made multiple payments while trying to download the app but the app is not getting downloaded.It is sowing the msg cant connect to itune

    I have created my apple Id.Now when i m downloading any app it is asking my credit card details.I have made multiple payments while trying to download the app.But the app is not getting downloaded,it is showing the message cannot connect to the i tune store.What should i do to download the applications.

    Ok, first of all don't keep purchasing the application, and if you've purchased it multiple times, contact iTunes billing department immediately.  They SHOULD only send one actual confirmation in and the rest of the "pending" charges will drop off (how long that takes is up to your credit card company, not iTunes), but you should be sure.
    Second, sometimes when they are uploading a lot of new stuff at certain times it can cause the store to screw up, or any number of other reasons could be a factor why you can't connect to the iTunes store, be it on their end or on your end even.  Wait a little bit and try again via "Check for available downloads" or via your "Purchased" option on the iTunes store main page.
    IF the app you purchased isn't there and you are sure your credit card was charged, then you will need to contact iTunes to find out why you can't download the app.

  • I got an update message for iOS 7 but can't download as it keeps shutting down and the wheel goes so slow that you can hardly see it moving and says it will take 5-6 hours to download approx. 64 megabytes

    Which way are you trying to update - iTunes or WiFi in the iPad settings? Try switching from one method to the other method. If you don't have a computer and need to use WiFi, try closing all apps and then reboot your iPad and try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of all of the apps in the recents tray. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar when you are done.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    It wouldn't hurt to reboot your router either by unplugging it from power for about 30 seconds, plug it back in, let it fully start up and then try to update again.

  • I have 2 iPads, I can only download some apps to one device not the other one?

    I have 2 iPads, but can only download some apps to one and not the other?. How can I get the same app on both iPads?
    Thanks

    1. Make sure iPad is using the latest software
    2. Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On
    3. Make sure Time Zone is correct
    4. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • HT1311 trying to update apps in the app store. My old apple id comes up. I've already signed in and out off itunes and the app store several times with the current id.  still everytime i try to update the apps the old id comes up

    trying to update apps in the app store. My old apple id comes up. I've already signed in and out off itunes and the app store several times with the current id.  still everytime i try to update the apps the old id comes up

    Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them originally.  It will always ask you for your old ID if they were purchased using that ID.  The only way to stop this would be to delete them from your phone and your iTunes library, then repurchase them using your current ID.

  • I changed my id because I changed my email address, now I can't sing into iCloud because it is still using old address which is no longer recognized. How do I fix this?

    I Changed my emal address so it would reflect my Apple ID . iCloud won't let me use my Apple ID it keeps going back to old email address. I put in password but it dosn't recognize the account because it no longer exist.  How do I change my iCloud I'd so it is the correct Apple ID ?

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • Changed my email address now I can't log on to my iTunes or icloud from my phone

    I was successful at changing my email address for my Apple ID on my ipad but can't get the issue resolved on my phone

    When you say change my email address for my Apple ID what exactly do you mean?
    Did you create a new Apple ID Account?
    What ID was used to set the Find my iPhone
    Look here
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    you may need to call them
    You can have as many Apple ID;'s as you want but they all have the following points to consider.
    Your apple ID  primary email address
    Your date of birth
    your 3 security questions
    your alternate email address
    your rescue email address
    It is really important to keep a record of all of the above.
    Also 4 and 5 work best with unique emails per account
    The other problem is that if you have set Find my... on any kit, using the old Apple Id then it becomes harder to do.
    It is do-able, I spent 3 hrs on the fone over 3 days getting it done on an ipad and iphone

  • Can I change my iCloud email address and keep all of my music, apps, files and mail in the cloud and on all of my devices?

         Ok, so here's the deal. I want to change my iCloud email address. Ultimately I want to keep the same Apple ID and simply edit the part before the '@icloud.com'. If this is not possible, can I make a new Apple ID and transfer all of music, apps, files, and mail to the new Apple ID and all of my other devices?
                        Thanks in advance, Scotty P.

    You cannot change your iCloud email address but you can setup a new alias: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a
    You cannot transfer purchases from one AppleID to another.
