HT5622 Wrong Apple ID in App Store Login box, can't delete

Hi there, when I go to update my apps in the App Store, the wrong Apple ID is in the box, and it won't let me highlight it to delete and put my Apple ID in. Please help!

Where did you get the Mac? New or used?
Do you encounter this generally or for a specific app?

  • Wrong Apple ID in App Store on new iTouch

    I got the new iTouch 4th gen. for Christmas. A few years ago I had an older version of the iTouch and about 40 or so apps for it bought from my first account. I recently made a new apple ID for use with this iTouch. I've had no problems with it so far, all the apps and all my music synced with it, my new apple ID shows up in my settings and on the iTunes app. However, when I go to the app store application it tells me I have 38 updates for the applications I bought a long time ago. When I try to update these (free updates..) It wantes me to log in with my apple ID. However, it gives me a username that is my AOL email and I have never associated it with any apple products as far as i know. It won't let me change it to my real apple ID. When I go to iTunes on my computer it says there are no updates available, no matter which account I'm logged into.
    1. How do I change it so my real apple ID is used in the app store app?
    2. Why aren't the updates showing on iTunes?

    Go to Setting>Store and sign into the itunes account that purchased the app. Is your computer authorized for the iTunes account for which the updates are not showing? Also, are the non-showing app for the update showing in iTunes?

  • Wrong Apple ID in App Store Updates

    Hi all,
    I know a similar question has been asked but I am "bumping" this as it's very annoying at the least. We went from a 1 iphone house to a 3 iphone house. My husband's is a work iphone and so he uses a different apple ID for his phone. My settings in MY iphone are all correct for my itunes account, in fact, I've never even accidentally synched my phone to his account. But now all of the sudden for no reason HIS apple ID is showing up ONLY WHEN YOU LOG IN TO UPDATE YOUR APPS.
    This is very strange. I've only had my phone for 2 weeks, so I am thinking of calling support, but is there a fix? I've hard restarted the phone, synched to my computer (logged in to MY apple ID) and it is still happening.
    This is not acceptable. Plus DD is getting an itunes gift card for xmas so I will probably have yet ANOTHER apple ID to deal with I don't want to load it onto my account because I'll spend it : )
    Has anyone dealt with Apple on this issue?
    Thanks!

    This morning, I attempted to update 14 applications on my iPhone. When I selected "Update All" I was prompted for my password, not realizing a User ID other than mine was appearing. Of course I kept getting the message that my User ID was incorrect. As suggested below, I went to settings, then Store, and logged out, then logged in again using my Apple ID and password. Nonetheless, when I go to the App Store and attempt to update the apps, the other Apple ID continues to appear, not my own.
    I have never synced my phone on any other computer than my own, so that is not the reason this happening, and I have only used my own Apple ID to make purchases.
    Any other ideas or fixes?

  • Wrong Apple ID in App Store Sign-in Box

    When I try to update applications (in the current case, iPhoto), the Apple ID shown in the sign-in box is not mine but my wife's. She has her own computers and does not operate on mine. I have checked my App Store account details and my correct Apple ID is listed as it should be. I have tried to change the Apple ID in the sign-in box but it is not allowed. My correct Apple ID is shown in the Apple Store log-in and the Apple Support log-in boxes and I have no trouble logging in to these two sites. How can I rectify this situation with the App Store log-in Apple ID to enable application updates to be obtained? I am operating on Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.

    Hi Niel,
                Thank you for your suggested solution. It worked perfectly and you were spot-on with your assessment of my problem.
    Best regards,
    Rob.

  • Wrong Apple ID in App Store on iMac

    Hi there. I went to upgrade some apps and realized that the wrong Apple ID is there (my daughter's). It's greyed out so that I can't type my Apple ID over top. Is there a way for me to get rid of her ID so I can type mine in?
    Thanks!

    That's what's weird. This is my computer, and I have no idea why her ID is in there. I just want to access my apps and update my computer.
    Thanks for your quick replies.

  • I have wrong Apple ID in app store?

    My wife and I sync our phones to the same computer.  I log out of her account and log into my itunes but her apple ID comes up when I want to update my apps or buy?  I synced to my itunes.  I checked the settings for the store that has my ID in there?  What do I do?

    Some apps seem to have been purchased with your wife's ID. therefore, updates have to be done with hers, unless you purchase them with yours.

  • HT204053 Wrong Apple ID for App Store/iTunes shows on iPhone

    I've changed my Apple ID on all my devices to the same ID, but when I try to update apps or purchase new ones on my iPhone my old @me address keeps showing up rather than my new one. What do I do to fix that?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    However if the Apple ID you are going to change to is a new account and not simply a change of address, then you will be unable to update any of your older content on your mobile device.

  • Mac App Store login fails, but Apple ID/password is correct.

    OK, I just went to get an App, and login failed repeatedly (5 times). In between, I went to iTunes and opened up my account info, which required login, which worked. Same on iCloud on my browser.
    Now, I go back about 10 minutes later, and now suddenly the Mac App Store login works.
    Weird.

  • I downloaded pages from the app store and I can use it on my Mac login but it doesn't show up when my wife logs in to her account? Were using the same computer, just different logins.

    No. You need to buy it for your Apple ID and for the other. You will have problems with updates

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
