Welcome to the Apple community.
If your daughters Apple ID is displayed when trying to update apps, that would indicate that the app was originally purchased from her account, in which case you cannot update somebody else's app.

Please help! My iPad mini has two different apple ids. My Apple ID in the general settings part and my family's id in the App Store. I need to fix it so that it's just one Apple ID and one password.

The Apple ID for future purchases is in Settings>Store>Apple ID. However, apps have to be updated using the Apple ID used to originally purchase them. This can't be changed. If the App store is asking you to provide a password for a different Apple ID when you are updating apps, it's because this ID was used to purchase it originally.

Try going into your account details on iTunes, change your info there, then sync your devices.

How do i change the wrong apple id in my app store on my phone

My phone wasn't working right, so I took it to the sprint store to get a new one using my insurance and they gave me a new one. the only weird thing is that when I go to update my apps it asks me to long on to someone else's email. I have gone into my settings and made sure that my apple id was correct but it still pops up when I go to update o even buy apps. I don't know who's email this is. The only thing I can think of, is that its someone from the sprint stores apple id, because they connected my phone to their computer and backed it up and then put it on my computer. All I know it that I'm frustrated and I just want to update my apps.

Pretty sure that Sprint, Verizon, T-Mo and AT&T all use some returns as replacements for customers.
Not everything they use for replacement is an actual Apple refurb.

Expert help needed: why does my apple id show in app store....

when I never signed into the app store before... and... it's not even my system...
OK...story...
On my clients iMac who is running os 10.5.8 and wishes to uprgade to 10.8, I did the following:
-installed 10.6 from my image of the 10.6 installer disc on my utility firewire hd
-after upgrade, I ran software update and installed the 10.6.8 combo update
-after reboot went to app store(1st time it has been used) and attempted to purchase & upgrade the OS to 10.8 and noticed in the Store menu that my apple Id was there???
um….
how did it get there??? So what I then did was:
-have my client enter his apple id & paswd and sign in
-when he attempted to purchase then download, a warning appeared - (not exact) 'downloads for the acct <myappleid> are waiting to be downloaded, please complete the downloads before…(wish I made a screen shot)
The only way around this was to sign back into my apple id and allow mountain lion to download and install.
Anyways…
I had him sign into the app store on another mac and mountain liion was not in his list of purchases, but that didn't surprise me.
What is completely a mystery is why my apple id made it's way into his app store when it was never there before, I mean the system was at 10.5. prior...I'm baffeled
This is the second time this has happened, 1st time it was when bringing a a client of mine from 10.5.8 to 10.7 with the same steps as above….
Does anyone have a clue??

I would guess that your Apple ID is in the pirated version of Snow Leopard 10.6 that you are installing on their computers to allow them to update to Mountain Lion.

Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

How can I edit my apple ID in the app store the enable update some applications because it not my own that is showing

How can I edit my apple ID in the app store the enable update some applications because it not my own that is showing

It sounds like some apps were purchased using another Apple ID.
ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them. Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password. Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

HT204053 I rfor ntly changed my email address and apple id- when accessing app store from my iphone the old id (email address) still apears on the log in screen - cant change and access app store

I recently changed my email address and also my apple id to match- this is all working OK and I can access store ,apple account etc - however when I get notifications on my i phone to update apps via app store the log in screen still show my old apple id -email address which is no longer valid. when I enter my password I am denied access - there is no comand on my i phone to change the log in id for the app store ( there is for changing password or forgotten password only) does anyone have the solution for me please - many thanks, fijijohn

when I get notifications on my i phone to update apps via app store the log in screen still show my old apple id
That's because apps are forever tied permanently to the Apple ID that bought them, even if they were free. That is the only ID that can ever update them.
Unfortunately you went about this the wrong way. Rather than making a new Apple ID with the new email address, you should have just changed the name and email address associated with the old ID. Now you are kind of screwed because it's too late to use the new email on the old ID since you used it to create a new Apple ID. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another and Apple doesn't merge IDs.
You can try to resurrect the old Apple ID with a new email address and maintain two Apple IDs, or decide which ID and it's content you wish to abandon.

Cannot get progress to show in app store download of Mountain Lion

Having to re-download Mountain Lion on my mid 2009 MBP from overseas. The ML app shows "downloading" in dock with progress bar under it (and just a hint of blue for hours now), but in the App Store on the Purchases tab it just shows the Mountain Lion app with a gray "Download" button. I want to see the progress of the download since I'm overseas and it could take a couple days. If I click on the "Download" button it goes clear for a minute but goes back to the gray "Download". I've tried closing and re-opening App Store, restarting the computer and I've also tried doing it all in Safe Mode. No difference. I can't be sure something is actually happening without a progress meter. Any ideas out there?

There may be no apparent "progress bar" in the App Store. It may be a bug associated with this particular download. Unfortunately I am not in a position to determine if this is related to you being overseas or not.
To determine if it is actually downloading use Launchpad. You should see a fairly obvious new icon with an associated progress bar. Make sure you check every Launchpad page by swiping left / right.
The downloaded file will also be in your Applications folder. When it finishes, it looks like this (Mavericks icons are shown; Mountain Lion is similar):
Check your Downloads folder. Before it finishes downloading, it will have a "progress bar" at the bottom. While it is downloading it looks like this:
If it's paused, click the icon to restart it.
Once it completes the icon will appear in Applications and Launchpad, it's just easier to find in Launchpad.
Launchpad equivalents:
When it's finished it looks like this:
If it really is not downloading read Mac App Store: How to resume interrupted downloads
Open the Mac App Store.
From the Store menu, choose Sign In.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases to get to your Purchases Page.
Click the Resume button next to the app name.
If that doesn't work, "sign out" of the App Store, and sign back in again.
If that doesn't work, try restarting your Mac.
If that doesn't work, write back.
