I changed my apple id, but now in apps store when asked for password, it listed my original apple id which password will not work. How to get apps store to recognize changed apple id?

f you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the device by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

The app must have been purchased using your friends account. This means that the app belongs to your friend.
You need to buy your own copy.

Wrong email address on app store when asking for password

Hi.
I have the Iphone4 and today I was offered 4 updates for my apps. 3 downloaded but the Paypal update didn't. I then tried to update the Paypal app and the Iphone asked me to put my password in. I entered it but it said the password was wrong. I then noticed that the email address that was displayed wasn't mine, it was my house mate's.
When I go into settings and look at the app store settings I am logged in as me. I tried logging out and back in again but it still does it. If I download another app it just does it without asking for a password so I can't see if it's just Paypal.
Can anyone help me please? I'm really confused.
Thanks

Hi.
I just worked it out then came on here to update to say I no longer need help and you're right.
Basically he had the paypal app on his phone and backed them up on the pc. Then he synced my phone for me and accidentally put paypal on which was obviously his app.
Thanks for your help anyway.

If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

Have you tried turning your phone completely off and then back on? After trying that you might want to Reset your phone by depressing the Sleep Button and the Home Button at the same time for at least 15 Seconds. Then try your App Download again. If those efforts don't work there are additional threads about various App Download issues you will want to review.

If you dont have any other devices which you use your Apple-ID with (like an iPad, iPod, Mac etc) this will solve your issue (I've been there too):
If you have iOS 6:
1) Sign out from Settings > iTunes & App Store by taping the email adress at the top and choose Sign out.
2) Sign out from Settings > iCloud by taping the red "Delete account" button on the bottom of the page (will not delete you account only remove it from your iPhone i.e sign you out).
3) Sign back in again with your new email adress.
If you have iOS 7:
1) Sign out from Settings > iTunes & App Store.
2) Change your email adress back to the old email adress on your Apple-ID
3) Sign out from Settings > iCloud by taping the red "Delete account" button on the bottom of the page (will not delete you account only remove it from your iPhone i.e sign you out).
4) Change your email for you Apple ID back to the new email adress you want to have.
5) Sign back in from Settings > iCloud.
If you're promted for password to your old Apple ID when you update apps you need to follow the steps above and then restart your iPhone.
If the steps in this article is followed when chagning Apple ID this issue can be avoided Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID.

I need to switch the apple ID the app store is asking for, but it is grey and I can't click it.

I want to update an app on the App Store on my brand new MacBook Air, but unfortunately it is asking me to sign in to my old Apple ID.
I do have the password for it, but I don't want to use it anymore, that's why I changed to a new one. everything else on the computer seems to ask for my new Apple ID except when updating an App at the App Store.
I press "Update" and it makes a pop up asking me for my old Apple ID pass. But I cannot click the Apple ID to change it. I can only attempt the password of my old account.
If I go to the "Store" tab beside "Edit" and "Window", I can sign in and out of my new Apple ID just fine, but it has no effect on the issue.
Thats about all the info I can think to give, any suggestions?

Ok, I moved iMovie to the trash bin, and it made some progress. But when I looked to re-download it, it was 17$

Tried to update an app and it asked for the password to my sister's Apple ID. I then checked to see whose Apple ID was logged in, in settings and it said that I was logged in. How do I get the app store to ask for MY Apple ID, not my sister's?

Tried to update an app on my phone but when it asked me to give the password for my AppleID, it was asking for the password to my sister's AppleID. I went to setting and down to itunes&app store settings and checked which AppleID was logged in, but i found that it was my AppleID that was logged in, not my my sisters. I then tried logging out and logging back in again but the app store, regardless of this, still asks me for my sister's AppleID and I don't know her password...How do I get the app store to ask me for MY AppleID password, not my sister's?

If this app was bought by your sister with her Apple ID, only her ID can update the app.

My app store keeps asking for me to update my payment method as its about to expire so i enter my details and it keeps saying card declined , why is this ?

my iphone app store keeps asking me to update my payment method every time a go to download something from the store , it says my method is about to expire so when i re-enter my card information it keeps saying that my card is declined , why is this?

What sort of card are you trying to use ?
If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

When about to update apps in app store its asking for a different email password than mine?

How do i get the app store on my iphone 4s back to my information? A friend used my computer to update her phone and now its asking me for her password everytime i go to app store. I have tried everthing and made sure that im signed in when i sync. please help

When ever you purchase anything on the app store it is assigned to the apple id it was downloaded with, this means any updates on that app, also have to be updated with that apple id.
If you are using multiple apple ids, each app will need to be updated using that specific apple id that it was purchased (free or not) with.

App store keeps asking for old owner's password when I try to download updates, even though I am logged into my Apple account. It won't allow me to change ID to mine.

I bought a used iMac recently, and sometimes the app store asks for the user password of the previous owner (and displays former owner's ID). It won't allow me to change ID to mine, even though I am signed into store with my own account (and this is shown in dropdown menu). How can I make the store recognize my ID for downloads?

It is showing updates because your machine is tied to the original purchase and will remain so until you wipe the drive.
As you purchased it used and the seller obviously did not do what he was supposed to do and that is erase the hard drive and reinstall the original system, you will run in to far more difficult problems when you need to reinstall for whatever reason. The new licensing requirements are that any mac is sold with the original OS - any OS or app obtained at the app store is NOT transferable and the buyer needs to purchase their own license. That means you will not be able to reinstall the OS.
At some point, you will need to try to get either the original install disks (from the seller or Apple) and wipe your drive and reinstall. Then you can download your own licensed copy of Mavericks and any apps you want.

HT5621 I recently changed my Apple ID but my cloud backup keeps asking for password to my old Apple ID. If I go in and delete my cloud account and create a new one will I lose everything or does the cloud follow my new ID when I set it up?

I recently changed my Apple ID but I keep getting messages from my Cloud account asking for my password to my old Apple ID. If I go in and delete the current Cloud account that appears to still be associated with my old ID and set up new one with my current ID will I lose all the stuff in the Cloud?

Did you just change the address or did you create a new Apple ID.

App store (OSX) asking for wrong Apple ID

Hi all,
I work as an IT technician for a UK University. I have recently setup a new MacBook Pro for one of our users. As part of the setup I installed all the updates via system menu->software update. To do this I was prompted for my Apple ID which I entered and the updates proceeded to download and install.
However now the machin has been passed to it's user, and when they try and update they are prompted for my Apple ID, and cannot change the ID, we have even tried signing out in the App store and signing in as them, but they are still prompted for my Apple ID.
Is there a way to resolve this even if we have to re-download the updates.
Cheers.
Phill.

Well it's actually a MacBook Pro, not an iPad.......
But I was planning to try a re-install of OS, to see if that would fix it. Laptop is back with it's owner currently so she can back her data up first.
Since this was supplied with 10.9 pre-installed is there a way we can get a restore image ? Since 10.9 only seems to be available as an upgrade to 10.8 through the App store, or will 10.8 install on a current MacBook Pro ?
Cheers.
Phill.

Mac App Store keeps asking for my wife's account to update software but she no longer has an account on my iMac.

My wife used to have an account on my iMac and then she deleted her account when she no longer needed it. Now I cannot update three software packages in the Mac App Store. Software update keeps telling me updates are available but when I try to update them, I get a message that I need to sign on using my wife's account and apple id. I am the only user on my iMac and I am an administrator. Why can't I update the software? I do not want to have to add my wife's account back on my iMac and I should not have to.

Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.
