HT4623 I am trying to update my apps with a new user ID - I have changed it in settings but how to I change it in apps store - it keeps asking me for a password for my old user id?

I am trying to update my apps using a new user ID. I have changed it and I can't get it to change in the App Store. It keeps asking me for a password for my old ID??

YOu can't update your apps with the new apple id. All apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchased it, you will need to enter your password from you old id to update.

While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

I am trying to update to Firefox 3.6.8. I currently have 2.0.0.14 on my Mac wit OS 10.5.8. It keeps giving me the error "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient priviliges for some of the items". What do i need to do?

I am able to open and use 3.6.8 but it wont over write the 2.0.0.14 version.

1. Download a new copy of the Firefox program
2. Firefox 3.6.27: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
3. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
4. Install the new version that you have downloaded.

I'm trying to update my iPhone with the new update. Using Macbook Pro, Lion software. It keeps saying "connection error timed out". What's my problem?

Trying to get the update. Appreciate assistance!

Disable any antivirus and firewall software installed on your computer. They can interfere with the update process.

My I phone as for a password for and old ID i had.

Hi.
I have an I phone, but every time it ask for my password due to a new version of whatsapp or other application for example it asks for the password of an old user I had in my previous job attached to a company name that was eliminated. I need it to ask for my password under the new ID I have (not the old one). How can I change in the phone or anywhere else the ID I am currently using so it recognizes me to be able to update things.
I do appreciate your help.
Erwin

You need to either update those applications from the original Apple ID or delete and redownload them while signed into another one. If doing so would require repurchasing them and the old account’s inaccessible, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

My Apple ID was changed. Yet when I try to update apps I am asked to enter the password for the old IG which will not work and no matter what I do. When I attempt to update apps it still askes for the wrong ID data.

My Apple ID was changed. It works fine on my IPad mini, my MAc and in Itunes Store, Yet when I try to update apps on my IPAD 1 I am asked to enter a password for the old ID user name which appears in the pop up window. When It still askes for the wrong ID data. I have uodated it in settings, and I have logged ontht the account to verify that it still works properly and it does. I reboot the IPAD and then attempt to update apps again but it still asked for the Old ID password and still shows the old ID username. The dame thing refuses to recognize my new Apple ID data. This is making my older IPAD unuseable.

You cannot change your Apple ID. You can get a new one if you want, but all of your Apps and media are linked to yoru old Apple ID. And no, Apple won't transfer your old ID purchases to yoru new ID.

I wanted to update 6 apps. but iTunes asked for the password of my old Apple ID. Now, I can't get into iTunes., I wanted to update 6 apps. but iTunes asked for the password of my old Apple ID. Now, I can't get into iTunes.

When I opened my App Store today, I found 6 apps needing update. I clicked “Update All” and there popped “Sign in to iTunes Store” and asked me to enter the Apple ID password for <my account>. I entered my password for the Apple ID but it said “Your Apple ID or password is incorrect.” Since I entered incorrect passwords many times, I had to reset my password two times already. I want to update the apps on my phone. But, I can’t , and this is tiring, exhausting, and frustrating. My questions: (1) Why is iTunes asking for a password for an old account when I changed that already? (2) What to do now - Do I sign out of iTunes, delete the account and create a new one?

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
Is the old account a completely different iTunes account, or is it just a previous primary email address on the same account ? If it's a different account then all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so only that old account will be able to download updates to its apps.
If it's the same account, just a previous primary email address, then what id shows at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone ? You could try tapping on that and log out of it and then log back in with the updated version and see what id then shows for updates.

I changed my user name and password in Itunes, when I use my phone or Ipad, it askes for the password for the old username password it says it's invalid. I try to delete the Icloud account but it won't let me- Help

I changed my username and Password in Itunes on my computer. Now when I use my Iphone, Ipad, it asks for the password for the old username. when I type the password for that old user name, it says it's invalid. I figured I needed to delete the old Icloud account from my Iphone and Ipad, but they ask for the old password for the Old username. I type it in and it says invalid. As of now, I can't use Icloud or Itunes on either the Ipad or Iphone.... Help!
<Edited by Host>

If the old ID ("username") is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. 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 iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished 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. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I changed my Apple ID online and in my iphone, but when I go to the app store and try to install apps it asks for the password to my old ID. How do I get this to stop?

Just like the description above. Changed my Apple ID online and in the phone, but when I go to the App Store it asks for the password to the old ID. Then when I put the password in it says that it's incorrect.

Go to settings>store and make sure the new apple ID is logged in at the bottom of the page.
If not, log out of the old one and sign in with the new one.

I had backed my iPhone4 up to my Mac. My phone got stolen in Ethiopia. Back in Norway I buy the 4S. After synchronizing I'm asked for my password on an old ID when I want to update my Apps! Solution?

My iPhone 4S comes up with a request for a password for an old AppleID when I want to update my Apps? Any suggestion what I should do?

when you open the app store scroll down to the bottom it will display the apple id currently in use, change it to your normal apple id email

Why when i try to update an app whith my new e-mail, it asks for the password of the old e-mail?

I recently changed my e-mail because I moved to U.S.A. so I could have the U.S.A. store. When I try to update some apps with my new e-mail, it asks me the password of the old e-mail, ahd that e-mail doesn't work because its not from U.S.A.

Apps are tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase them and you will always need to use that ID and password in order to update them.
Saying that you do get to update them on your new details makes no sense at all.

I changed my apple id, but the cloud is not recognizing the new id. It keeps asking for the password for my old apple id, but when I enter it, it tells me it's incorrect.

I wanted to use a different e-mail account for my apple id. I had no trouble changing it, but now when I try to use apps on my phone, they don't work (and they don't sync with the corresponding apps on my other apple devices). It keeps asking me for the password for my old ID. I have tried entering both (old and new, IDs and passwords) to no avail. I went to the store where I bought the phone (ATT) and they tell me that this is a common problem. Can I fix this myself or do I have to go to a store, which is a hassle?

Did you change the name of the AppleID like described here?
