I am trying to update apps but different apple id is associated with updates than the id in general settings.How do i change id in itune store?

As I stated, you cannot change the Apple ID that an app asks for, it is forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase the app. You need to use the password for the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.
Apps are not transferrable.

  • 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.

    Go back to that article, ignore the instructions for updating it wirelessly, scroll down, and follow those for updating it from iTunes on a computer.

  • HT4623 I cannot update my iPhone 4.  I have reset and erased all content and my phoine still does not have a "software update" under the general settings.  What now?

    I cannot update my iPhone 4.  I have erased all content and reset the phone, however, there is still no "software update" under the general settings on my phone.  I keep trying to download the update through iTunes and it quits everytime without success.  Any suggestions?

    READ the entire article from which the question was posted.
    It clearly states that the "Update Software" option ONLY applies to iOS 5 and later.
    If there are issues with updating via iTunes, provide specific details of what is occurring so that we can offer relevant solutions.

    Hi iPheariPhoPad,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there’s an issue with Settings, the Notes app entry isn’t showing up as expected. Take a look at the article linked below and try restarting your iPhone 3GS.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If that doesn’t do it, try restoring your iPhone as shown in this article:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Take care,

  • HT4623 I don't have a update button n the general settings, how can I update my iPad thanks

    Hi there I'm trying to update my apps and it's saying I need ios5 and then I'm trying to up date it but my iPad hasn't got a update soft wear button in the general settings I can't do anything on it until it's up dateD but haven't got a clue what to do please help :)

    If you are using iOS 4 (or earlier) there is no Software Update in Settings. That feature was first added in iOS 5.
    To update you will have to connect your iPad to iTunes on a computer (preferably the one you sync with and backup to).
    See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
    If you have an iPad 2 you will be able to update to the latest iOS level which is 6.1.2

  • HT4623 I have an iPad 3.2 Model MB292X and it doesn't have Software Updates under the General Settings so how do I download latest ios software?

    I have an iPad 3.2 Model MB292X and it doesn't have "Software Updates" section under General Settings.  How do I update my ios settings?  Help!

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • My ipod touch 4th Gen doesn't give "System update" option in General settings, how can i fix it?

    My gf gave me her old ipod touch. the 4th gen one with the front facing camera, the version is 4.3.3 and I'm trying to update it, but when I go into "general" and right under the "about" option it should give me the "system update" option but it doesn't, is there a reason for that?

    That option won’t appear in iOS versions prior to 5.0; update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
    The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.6.

  • HT204266 How do you change country om iTunes Store app

    The country of the App Store has changed to USA it says I need to change it to the UK store but I don't know how to.

    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > tap your Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region
    If you find that it is set to the correct region, log out of your iTunes Store account, restart your iPhone, and sign into your account again.
    Regards.

  • I want to download apps but my apple id passwords keeps popping up and its annoying. How do i stop that?

    How do i stop the apple id password from popping up when i want to download apps ?

    You don't. That is how it works. It is a verification process. Would you like anyone that picked up your phone to be able to make purchases? I don't think so.

  • When I try to update to the iOS 4.3 it says cant connect to iTunes store. How do I fix this?How do I fix this?

    Was it can't connect to update server?
    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Do you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
