HT204053 how do I change my apple ID username in the app store?

On my iphone, how do I change the apple ID that naturally pops up when I try to update my apps?

If you get a new email address, you can change your Apple ID from your old address to your new address. For more information, follow the steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40

HT204053 How do you change your region when iTunes and the App Store keep changing it

I live in china but I'm from Canada and my iTunes is linked to Canada. Twice so far this year I have had my iTunes, App Store, and iBooks all convert to the Chinese sites. I am trying to put it back to Canada but for some reason it won't change. My region is still Canada so I'm not quite sure what is going on. Can anyone help?

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases. The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID. As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

How do I make my apple id connected to the app store?

I got my sister's ipod touch. I have gone to settings and logged off her apple id account, and logged onto mine. Now, when I went to update my apps in the app store, they asked for the password to my sister's apple id. How do I make my apple id connected to the app store?

- 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.

Preparing a 2nd Hand Mac for use -
You need to erase the HDD, reinstall the version of OS X that shipped from the factory on the Mac and then set it up as new with your own Apple ID.

How do you change your user name associated with the app store on the iphone 3G. When attempting to update, it is using an old email address that has since been changed at the apple site. The problem is that my phone does not seem to recognize this.

I have exausted my ideas, and turn to the forum, prior to paying for something that may be a 2second simple fix. Please help if you can. Let me know if you need more info to understand my dilema.
Thanks.

I need to change my e-mail address in the app store, how does that work??

On apple website, seraching on support, the article HT1918 explains.
Log into your apple ID and edit your personal information, where email can be changed as well. All applications as itunes stores, apple store and icloud use this same apple ID, so be aware of this.
I hope I was helpful !

Does VUDU come on Apple TV? If not, how do you recommend that Apple at it to the iTunes Store?

IS VUDU available on Apple TV?
If not, how do you recommend that Apple add it to the iTunes Store?

It is not listed in Apple's list of Apple TV apps…
https://www.apple.com/appletv/whats-on/
You would need to do something to an Apple TV that will get this post deleted, see if you can guess what that is.
You could just buy a device that actually supports the services you need…
https://www.roku.com - it is a channel that can be added to a Roku.
http://www.vudu.com/setup_roku.html
Other media boxes also support Vudu (Chromecast, Xbox, Playstation, Android, WDTV… basically everyone who isn't Apple).
If you think Apple will add Vudu as an Apple TV channel ask them via the feedback form. Just bear in mind that Vudu directly competes with iTunes video sales & rentals.

HT204266 How can I remove my credit card information from the app store?

How can I remove my credit card information from the app store? I would like to have an account without the credit card information.
I would like to put in my credit card only when I am ready to purchase.

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your phone then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.

How do you login to another itunes acct on the app store?

How do you sign out of an acct on the app store?

Sign out on your computer. Click on your account name at the top right of the iTunes store window (under the search bar). Then click "Sign out" in the dialog box that appears.
"When you sync your iPhone or iPod touch with your computer, the account last used to access the iTunes Store from the computer is synced to the mobile device for use in the iTunes Store from the device as well. This same account is used for the App Store as well. This account will be used on the device for both stores until you sign in from your computer to the iTunes Store with a different account, and then resync your mobile device with the computer."

How/where can i download iwork in its entirety the app store talks about iwork but i cant locate it

How/where can i download iwork in its entirety the app store talks about iwork but i cant locate it

iWork is Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
Buy all three from the M.A.S. and it is all yours, cheaper and installable on all Macs that share the same Apple I.D.. However I have heard, but can't confirm, that that doesn't quite have everything the DVD version had.

How do I remove an old username from the app store when using the update function

How do I remove an old username from the app store when using the update function.
I purchased my Mac used. The former owners username prepopulates when I try to perform the updated function on the app store. It does not allow me to use a different user name. I have created my own username and password. I have even been able to purchase items from the app store, it's just when I use the update function it does populate with my username. Any help is appreciated.

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
