I updated my phone but it's asking for the wrong apple ID email. It is the same account, I just changed the email it is linked to.

In the iTunes & App Stores section of my Settings it is under the correct email address. For iCloud settings, though, it is under an email address that is so incredibly old I haven't used it in years. You can't change the Apple ID field in the iCloud settings. It is greyed out. How do I get it to change? It keeps alerting me constantly that it can't update because I'm not signed in.

Settings>iCloud>Delete Account.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Add Account>Sign in using the correct username and password.

    Again,  Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased and will always have to be updated using that account.
    Always, mean exactly that, always.
    If you want them to be on your account then you need to buy them using your account.

  • When I click on my iPad App Store Updates, the wrong apple ID is showing up. When I go under settings the correct one is displayed under the app store.

    When I click on my iPad App Store Updates, the wrong apple ID is showing up. When I go under settings the correct one is displayed under the app store.

    Does the wrong Apple ID show up with a particular App or all Apps?
    Apps are linked to the ID they were purchased with, so if you have Apps purchased with different IDs you may need to logout with one then log in with another to update the second one.
    We've also seen were "free" Apps are downloaded from the Internet, but they are not really free but instead were just hacked by a different user so need to be updated with that account.  That can prevent updates.  If so, it's best to delete the bogus app and get a good copy from the App Store.

  • Bought new iPad Air, but it keeps asking for my old Apple ID to complete the synch process

    I've just purchased an iPad Air. I had changed my Apple ID some time ago. I've updated my old iPad 2 with the new Apple ID and deleted the old Apple ID from the iCloud function. Now that I'm trying to synch the two, the iPad Air first asks me for my iCloud Sign In and that seems to work with the new Apple ID, but then in the next screen, after the ToCs, it asks me to choose a back up. I choose today's backup. The problem comes in the next screen when it says Enter the Apple ID password for [old Apple ID] to use for store purchases.  What do I do? Is there somewhere that I've missed signing off the old Apple ID? Please help. Thank you!

    Well, as it turns out, there's no need to delete your old Apps. Unfortunately, i did that, but accidentally left one or two with the old ID. What happens is that you just Skip the step. It then tells you that some things couldn't be restored. I've now restored it to yesterday's backup and there's not much that's not there - there are some PDF docs missing that I had sent to kindle app and that's annoying. And yes agree that one shouldn't even bother changing Apple ID ever!! What a hassle!
    Wish I had know that before.
    Thanks all!

  • I've been trying to update my apps but it keeps asking me to update my billing info. I retyped everything from my card and it keeps saying my security code is invalid.  Any suggestions?

    I've been trying to update my apps but it keeps asking for my billing info so i retype everything and it keeps saying my security code is invalid when i know its not.  It is same card they had on file before and the same security code but now it wont take it and i cant update anything. HELP!

    If you're positive the information is correct, ask the issuing bank why the transaction is being rejected.
    You're getting this error because the store can not authorize the card with your bank.

  • HT201209 I have an Apple ID balance but it keeps asking for a credit card.

    I have an iTunes gift card balance but it keeps asking for a credit card

    Unless you set up a special iTunes account that is only good for free apps, you need a valid payment method. To get that special iTunes account see:

  • I have $10 in my account but it is asking for my credit card info when I try to buy an app?

    I have $10 in my account but it is asking for my credit card info when I try to buy an app?

    If the cost of the app is close to $10 - there could sales tax or VAT added onto the purchase as well. Here in Pennsylvania the state sales tax is 7% in the county in which I live. The app would have to cost less than $9.35 or I would exceed the $10 balance in the account.
    It may also be a way of simply identifying that you are who you claim to be - a verification process if you will. Apple is currently increasing security measures in the app store and iTunes.

  • My sister gave me her old Iphone 4 but and i logged out of her apple accounted and logged into mine but sadly whenever i try to update or download a app ot asks for my password then it ask for hers why is that ?

    I basically got this phone about 2 weeks ago and i cannot download or update anything . I would mind it asking for my sisters apple password but she doesn't know it so how do i take it off ? It will ask for mine then a few seconds later it will ask for hers . In my settings everything is signed in as me but i just don't get why it still ask for her apple id. I have logged out and reset all my settings and it still ask for her apple id. If i can figure out how do i get her password ?

    Any apps that she downloaded onto the device are tied to her apple ID.  They cannot be transferred to another account.  To update those apps, you would either need her password, or you could delete the apps and download them using your own apple id.

  • Ok I want to update my phone but I try to put my password and it say it's not it but it is it, what can I do to fix it

    Ok I want to update my phone but I try to put my password and it say it's not it but it is it, what can I do to fix it

    By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are using a new computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
    http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
    Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
    1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under iTunes>Preferences(under the edit menu if using Windows)>Devices in itunes.
    2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Address Book & iCal or Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
    3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, DO NOT SYNC at this point.
    4. Store>Authorize this computer.
    5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
    6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
    7. Right click again and select backup.
    8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
    9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
    You should be good to go.

    The PIN is what you use to unlock your phone.   Start reading here — if you've forgotten what code you've set to unlock your phone, there is a reset sequence.

  • I want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized?

    i want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized? also how can i update the software?

    This is a tedious solution, which is stupid!  And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization.  I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
    And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

    Make a backup of your stuff (from the phone. apps/photos/music/blabla). Update your phone. The phone will restore the backup automatically.

  • I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don't remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone.

    How i said on the question. I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don’t remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone. I have the phone box and the bill. I sent you an email with my problem and attachments with the box informations, the bill and the reset request. What to do? You said to me:
    Your request comes from an unrecognized email domain. Apple accepts email requests only from email domains for Apple-authorized carriers.
    Please re-submit your request using your official carrier domain.
    but this email is authorized, what to do??
