I used to have a apple id but when i got my macbook i changed it. Then i downloaded OS X and updates in my app store will not let me change my apple id back to my new one it just still uses my old one. What do i do?

Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID.

On your iPad tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should give you a payments link on your account's page. Or on your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should also be a payment link.

If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information?

You need to first install the OS your Mac came on the bundled gray disks. Assuming it's Snow Leopard, you could then login into the App Store using your same Apple ID and password to download and install Lion.
If your Mac is a bit older and came with Leopard, 10.5.x, you can bypass that and install Snow Leopard from your retail disk. The only software you'd need to install separately from the gray disks would be the optional software, such as the iLife suite and other titles not included on the retail SL disk.

The app store will not take my security code on the back of my credit card

The app store will not take my security code on the back of the credit card

When there is a mismatch between the iTunes Store's records and your credit card company's records, you will receive an error message stating that your credit card's security code isn't valid or that your zip code does not match your bank's records. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646

Select None for payment method > iTunes Store: Changing account information

Yes, you can redeem an iTunes gift card for current purchases.

How do I accept/purchase/download ilife programs after restoring Lion on a new Macbook Air using a new apple ID. App store will not let me do anything but accept; and it won't accept the apps with the new apple id

I wanted to restore my new Macbook Air (over the web).. using a new apple ID instead of the old one I originally used when I bought the computer from the apple store a month ago. By doing that, everything worked, but the iLife programs that originally came with it shows in the app store as "ACCEPT". When I try to accept them... it says they are assigned to another ID.. you must repurchase them for this ID.
I have no problem if I have to repurchase. I just can't find anywhere to do that. No matter what I do, I can only "ACCEPT".. which as I said earlier - don't work.
Thanks for any help

I have 2 Apple ID's but the app store will not let me update iPhoto with either

I have a MacBook pro 2011. For some reason i have ended up with 2 Apple ID's i must have forgotten something or i changed my account name from when i first set up the machine. Some apps allow me to upgrade with one but not the other. I have upgraded to Yosemite via a clean install at the Apple store. I have loaded back on my back up but iPhoto isn't there and it has asked me to upgrade via the App store. Unfortunately neither Apple ID's will let me upgrade.
The Message on screen is:
Upgrade unavailable with this Apple ID
This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled
Do i head back to the Apple store and talk with them or is there something i can do at home?
Thanks in advance of any help

I think you're confusing RAM memory with hard drive memory storage...the two aren't the same.
Although you're being told you need 2GB of RAM to run Mountain Lion....I would consider 4GB the minimum. You should be able to upgrade the RAM in your iMac to 4GB for well under $100.

My app store will not let me get apps. When I enter my ID information, it says "This Apple ID cannot be used for the iTunes Store. Please enter another Apple ID." it worked this morning. What do I do?

I tried it this morning to download Twitter and it worked just fine. I also was able to download other apps before school. Now I'm trying to download a few Christmas apps and it won't work at all. I tried other apps thinking maybe it was just the certain app and none of them are able to be downloaded. I cannot figure out what to do. I have restarted my phone, changed my password, logged out and back into my account and nothing is working. What do I need to do to get it to work?

I went into settings, iTunes & App Store and tapped on my appleID, then signed out. I went back into the App Store on my phone and tried to download the app and then signed in again, and it worked!
Apple is looking into the issue> as I was told by the tech support!

HT1338 I have iphoto '09 but want to buy iphoto '11, I can't upgrade and the app store will not let me buy it saying I already have it?

Can someone help me? I want to be able to use the stream option from my iphone

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Before purchasing iPhoto '11, you have to uninstall iPhoto '09. Open Finder, select Applications in the sidebar and delete iPhoto, emptying Trash. Then, open App Store and purchase iPhoto '11. Before opening iPhoto '11, I recommend you to create a backup of your iPhoto library (on Pictures folder) on another folder

I have 1.7 g of space left on my Ipad but the app store will not let me download garage band on to my iPad with is only 808mb can some one tell why this is happening. Thanks

Loads of space but not letting me download garage band on to my iPad and comes up with pop up saying not anough space on the iPad

When the app is downloaded it will expand as all app downloads do. You are downloading a "compressed installer" in a manner of speaking. When the app expands it will be larger than the space that you have left on the device.
App downloads on a computer work the same way,

I have the newest version, but when I started it it goes down after a few seconds (half minute) and I can't do anything anymore, not even close it. What happens?

That is all, no more details possible. I tried also uninstall Firefox and install the newest version again, but it did not help. I even have to stop Firefox with the Taskmanager.
As a result I am noew using Google Chrome (and that is not a good solution I think).
So it is not a normal crash and I do not have an ID.
The previous version worked well with me.

You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.
