I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot download apps from app store

I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot download apps from app store, even with ios 6. A message "This app is incompatible with this iphone" appeared. What should I do?

Hi there joannelim5288!
I have found an article that can help you to troubleshoot this issue with your iPhone. The article can be found here:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Specifically, the first three steps listed in the article, and outlined here below, might be the most helpful to you:
1. Update your device software
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
2. Check for app updates
Ensure that your apps are up to date:
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All.
When prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. App Store will then download and install the application updates.
Note: Some applications may require a Wi-Fi connection to update.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If none of your user-installed apps will launch, there could be an issue with Apple ID authorization. Download and install a free (or paid) app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information. You could also remove an app from your iOS device and download it again from the App Store or sync the app from your computer.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

  • HT1918 i changed my credit card on my apple id and now i cannot download previous purchases?

    i changed my credit card on my apple id and now i cannot download previous purchases?
    the songs appear on lightgray color on my itunes but i cannot play or download them again.

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    If you can't log into Settings>iTunes and App stores with your new ID them mean there is a problem. Try restting the password and try to sign in again.

    Can you sign in with the new ID on your computer?

  • I changed my apple id and now I can't update my apps or download new ones.  I've changed the ID in my iphone settings, but when I go in the apps store my old ID shows up.  If I change my settings back to the old ID my password doesn't work.  HELP!

    So I changed my Apple ID.  Now on my Iphone I can't update things from the apps store or download new stuff.  I went into settings and changed my ID there, but in the apps store it still shows up as my old ID.  The apps store won't let me log on with the new one, as my old still shows up, and if I go back into settings and change it back to the old ID the password I had before no longer works.  This ***** Apple.  You just ruined my Iphone!!!  My phone went from being cool to being junk since I am not unable to download or update apps...the coolest part of my phone.  Someone help???  Please tell me how I can enjoy my phone and apps again...

    Thank you for the response, but I ended up temporarily resetting my Apple ID... It was a pain, but it worked in the end.

  • How to I contact Apple about a support issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I changed my Apple ID and now I cannot access my game center account that I had previously. It created a new one for me with my new apple ID instead of keeping the old one.

    I want to submit an issue with Game Center--itself, directly. I had an account set up that I used to play online games. I changed my appleID and then I no longer could access my game center account. I, apparently, had a new game center account created for me (which is friends with my old account) and now I cannot access my original game center account.
    If I can't get access to email apple directly (which seems ridiculously difficult to do), then someone please tell me how to FIX the issue.
    Thank you

    Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
    Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.

  • TS4268 I changed my apple ID and now I cannot access iMessage, it keeps asking me to log into my old Apple ID

    I changed my apple ID and it reset properly on all apps/software but the only thing it is not working with is Imessage. when i turn off imessage and turn it back on it asks me to log into my old apple ID, I have tried changing the password and adding the new apple ID but it is not working

    You logged out of your old Apple ID with iMessage at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive followed by logging in there with your new Apple ID?

  • Cant login with apple id and pass. Cant download anything from App Store !

    Hi when i try to download app from App Store it shows me login screen I fill all of them as true, but it says "Unknown Error. " and "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)  "     I can't install any app. Help me

    1. In the lower right corner of the App Store window is a round button with the image of a flag. Clicking that button takes you to a page where you can choose your country by flag. You may have to scroll to the bottom of the window to see the button. The country must match your billing address on record.
    2. Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I changed my apple id, and now I can't update my apps that were purchased/downloaded from my old apple id....HELP!!

    I am getting frustrated because I can't update my apps that were downloaded under the old apple id.  Any thoughts on how to fix this?  I have already tried signing back in under my old apple id and it says that that id is no longer in use.

    Applications are connected to the Apple ID that they were purchased/downloaded with. If you updated your ID, you should be able still sign in with that ID, if you are logged into that ID on the phone. However, if you created a new Apple ID, then you would not be able to use that ID to update the apps.

  • I purchased Keynote '09 and now can't download it from app store

    I purchased iWorks 09 and I was workign without problems, tow days ago I reinstalled the entire computer, and Keynote is not in my purchased items and is asking me to pay it again. I didn't have probnlems with Pages and Numbers, but I am blocked with Keynote, I dont want to pay for the app again.
    any suggestions?

    I would quit the app, since you see it's open, and close all the other apps, then go to settings and reset network settings. The iPad will reboot. Then when it's back again, do a search for "Netflix" which will show you the location of the app (in the search results)
    From my search, you'll see I have it located in a folder I created ...

    Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...sign back in with the ID you want to use.
    Note: Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to originally obtain them. They cannot be updated using any other Apple ID other than the one they were originally obtained with.

  • I changed My apple ID and now my iCloud is not working

    I recently changed my Apple ID and now iCloud does not recognize it and keeps asking for my old password which does not work. How do I switch all of my accounts to this new Apple ID?

    Did you change the email address associated with an existing account, or did you create an entirely new account?

    Hi Jamjoint,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    It sounds like your Apple ID is used for both the iTunes & App Stores and iCloud. If you edited that Apple ID before signing out of the iCloud on your devices, it may be necessary to edit the Apple ID back to the original email account so that you can sign out of iCloud. Once signed out, you can edit the Apple ID back to the new email account and sign back in. Please use the attached article for further information.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe
