I updated my appleid and email but my purchases disappeared?

I recently updated my apple id and email via these instructions for managing my account: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
But now all my previous purchases have disappeared as if it were a new account (but it isn't, i just "updated" the details) and my iCloud backup data seems to be missing as well. I also cannot login to my previous id/email (it acts as if the account doesn't exist) to try retrieve my data.
The new account tries to purchase apps I've already purchased before I updated the id/email.
What the?

Hi creepylurky321,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you may need to update the Apple ID being used for the iTunes & App Store, as described in the article linked below.
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
After changing your Apple ID, refer to these steps to make sure that each store or service is using your current, renamed Apple ID. In some cases, you don't need to provide your current Apple ID until the next time you're asked to sign in to the store or service. But you should consider updating immediately any services that you use to share information or communicate with others—such as iCloud, iTunes, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Find My iPhone, and Messages.
App Store
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, sign in with your current Apple ID.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID, tap your previous Apple ID and tap Sign Out. Then enter your current Apple ID to sign in.

    I have updated my username and password, but the system keeps asking for my password for an old email for which I have no password.. How can I fix this?

    Are you signed into this old ID ("email") in System Preferences>iCloud, System Preferences>Internet Accounts (Mail,Contacts,Calendars), or in Mail>Accounts, Calendar>Accounts or Contacts>Accounts?

  • TS1702 I have an iPad 1. I went to do an update on GarageBand and iBooks but it will not update. How do I return it to the original version?

    I have an iPad 1. I went to do an update on GarageBand and iBooks but it will not update. How do I return it to the original version?

    Well, to paraphrase the old line, "What're you gonna believe, that email or your own lying eyes?"
    The first thing I'd recommend trying is to power down your iPad (press & hold Sleep/Wake until the red OFF slider appears, then slide it to shut down), and then boot it back up and try again. You're resetting a bunch of state signals by doing that and this simple action (the first of a series recommended by Apple in your Users Guide) will quite often clear up these sorts of problems.

  • TS3274 My ipad will receive texts and emails but it won't send - the send button doesn't light up?

    My iPad is about 1.5 years old.  It just started this business of not sending. My ipad will receive texts and emails but it won't send - the send button doesn't light up? It has been updated. to 6.1 IOS.
    Anyone have an idea what to do for this?

    I would think this might be the case but I am trying to texting friends and family members with iphones.
    I am really stymied.

  • I have updates for iMovie and iPhoto but when i try to update them i'm told To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." even though i bought it and it is on my iMac!

    I have updates for iMovie and iPhoto but when I try to update them through App Store I'm told that "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." even though I bought it and it is on my iMac! Any suggestions on what I need to do?

    Hi...
    Delete both apps using this utility >  Download AppCleaner for Mac - Uninstall your apps easily. MacUpdate.com
    That will delete the apps and all associated files.
    Then re download the apps. That will download the most recent version updates included.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect to your computer & click on the "Update your device using iTunes".
    iPad Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • HT202152 I have tried updating my apps and software but it says my startup disk or hard disk is full. I deleted a lot of files and apps but they won't be erased from the trash. Please help

    I have tried updating my apps and software but it says my startup disk or hard disk is full. I deleted a lot of files and apps but they won't be erased from the trash. Please help.

    For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
              iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    In Photos:
              File ▹ Show Recently Deleted ▹ Delete All
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as  Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
    Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install the app in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    For ODS:
    security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
    For GP:
    security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password.
    The application window will open behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will eventually show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • I recently updated my OS and all of my contacts disappeared.

    I recently updated my OS and all of my contacts disappeared.  I plugged my phone back in to restore from the backup. When I did this, my phone starting syncing again and restored the new backup and set that as the backup...no contacts or text messages...please tell me there is a way to correct this.

    Where you synced your music there is a tab that says Apps. When you click your device on the left in itunes and it tells you the serial and phone number, just aboved hit the apps tab and choose to sync them again.

  • IPad / AppleID and email issues

    Within the last week when powering up my iPad a box popped up saying AppleID changed to another email. It did not give me an option to deny it. Now often I get a AppleID login box pop up which I didn't before AND my emails will not send.  I tried changing AppleID back to original email but now says it's the rescue email.  I do still have my confirmation email when I first created the AppleID showing my now rescue email was my original ID.  Any ideas to fix this?

    My advice, never create multiple Apple IDs. You are not using the same account. You have created a new Apple ID which is a new account. You can only update apps with the same Apple ID with which it was bought. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. So now you have apps mixed together on your Mac bought with two different Apple IDs.

  • I have changed the user-id e-mail address. Bought a new MacBookPro, updated my Appleid and some purchased apps do not appear.

    I have changed my AppleId's e-mail address and thus the Appleid user name. I bought a new MacBookPro and updated my Appleid info. The problem is that it does not list all the Apps bought. I have only one iphone connected to it. My daughter has an ipad and had purchased a lot of apps using the old user-id. She had the ipad linked to another computer. However, the ipad does not switch on and from Apple Support they told me that it would be better if I restore it using a Mac. So my question is: if I restore it using the Mac, how would all these apps be synced since they do not appear on my iTunes on the Mac? Shouldn't all the apps appear since I have bought them?
    I would appreciate a reply.
    Kind Regards,
    Dimitra

    I have the same issue. The new address is fine when I use iTunes and on my iCloud account, but my iPhone has my old e-mail address and when I try to change it won't accept my new or old password to be able to do so.
