HT5622 I am trying to update the apps on my MacBook with my Apple ID, the one I created long ago when I got my first iPhone. Although when I first got my new MacBook I created a new apple ID with a email address I hardly ever use, and a password I can't r

Yes, well I ignoratly created a second Apple ID when first setting up my MacBook, and when I go to the "My Purchases" in my Mac App Store, and it shows the apps I've uninstalled, and the apps that are available to update. When I tap on the update icon/text I get a drop down notice, telling me that I have other apps that can be updated using the Apple ID I used to purchase the *apps* in Mac App Store. As far as I am aware I have only used ONE Apple ID to purchase Mac Apps, iPhone Apps, and iTunes. I have tried MANY, MANY times to find my second Apple ID. I've gone through and used every email address I making sure non of them were my second Apple Id's . SO is there anyway that I can update my apps using my main apple ID?
Best Regards,
Anna Grace Y.

What are the names of the apps?
So you are saying that you only ever used the old Apple ID to buy content on the iPhone and the Mac? You never used the new Apple ID to buy content for the Mac?

My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If I try to add the email address that I now use (and which is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it.

My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID" I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?

What are you having problems with ?
This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id.

HT4314 I remember my Game Center nickname but not the email address I used to create it. I have tried every email address I could have used and none are correct - is there no way to find out the info from Apple? Seriously?? Because that's crazy.

Because it isn't my Apple ID. Each of our iThings has a different Game Center account and only one uses our real ID. Thanks, though.

I have successfully created a new Apple Id. But when I am trying to update my apps on my iPhone5C, the old Apple Id is appearing. Please let me know how to update?

You should be able to log out of an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and you can then log in with your new account.
Any content that you downloaded with your old account will remain tied to that old account, so only that account can potentially redownload them and/or download updates to its apps. You should be able to reset the password on an iTunes account via http://iforgot.apple.com e.g. by answering the account's security questions.

I am trying to update my apps but my Apple id is an old one that isn't active, How do I delete the old apple id and use the new id which is my current email address

I am trying to update my apps and get new apps but my apple ID listed is an old inactive email address. How do I change it to my new email address? The new email address is in settings and is on my apple account. The only place the old one shows up is in the apps store - installing and updating. What do I do?

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them whether you are using the Apple ID for new purchases or not. All future updates will require the password for this original Apple ID. This can't be changed. The only way to stop this would be to delete these apps from your phone and iTunes library and repurchase them using your current ID.

Why does my phone come up with my old email address when I am trying to update my apps. I can log into my itunes with my new email

My phone shows my old email address when i am trying to update my apps how do i get it to use my new one. I can log in to my apple account and itunes ect with new one

All iPhone apps are digitally signed using the Apple ID they were purchased with. You CANNOT change this. You either enter the password for the original Apple ID, or you delete the App and download a new copy using the new Apple ID. Free apps that do not have lots of in-app content (like your Solitare High Score) are not a problem. Paid apps and free apps with lots of built-up/earned content can be very annoying as you have to re-pay for the app and/or build-up/earn that content again.

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?

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.

Hi, I'm trying to update some apps in my iPhone, and the Id that appears is not my correct ID. How can I change? But this happens only to update de apps, to bye new apps, de ID is correct.

Hi, I'm trying to update my apps, but the e-mail that appear there to update, is note my apple ID. But when I'm going to buy some app, the e-mail is correct. The problem is when I'm going to update the apps. How can I change?

I get it with my original ID, I never changed my ID. And when I'm getting new apps, it's normal, the problem appear when I'm going to update the apps that I already have. The other e-mail that appears is another e-mail of mine, but I don't have any ID in apple with this e-mail.

Because all apps are FOREVER tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, & they can only be updated using that ID.

Sorry, you can't. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID, nor can they be transferred to another Apple ID. You will have to update them using the ID used to originally obtain them.

Have you the latest version of iTunes installed on your computers? Sometimes it is a matter of agreeing to the (new) terms and conditions. If all else fails, uninstall iTunes and then re-install it.
