I've changed AppleID and now can't update Apps. Help!

I've seen lots of discussion on similar lines but don't seem to find any solutions. To be clear, all I've done is follow instructions from Apple regarding how to change AppleID. I did this as old email account was about to become obsolete. Which also means I can't just change back. When I now try to update Apps, the password popup has the old AppleID hardwired. If I sign out and in with new AppleID this does not change. I don't recall any warning from Apple that changing my AppleID would create this problem. I am now dead scared that it is being treated like a new account which will also cause me problems with music downloads etc. From the amount of similar complaints online I would not seem to be the only victim here. Does anyone have a clear answer to this?

On your iDevice, make sure you first log out then log back in with the updated AppleID.
Settings > Store, tap the account name then Sign out and Sign in.
The AppleID used to purchase the item is embedded into the item at time of purchase.
If you have simply updated your AppleID, just use the current password when the old AppleID shows up. You don't need to (and cannot) change the AppleID to the new AppleID.

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

Just upgraded and now can not update contacts

I upgraded to the new iPhone software last night and now can not edit contacts. Help!

Hi icsailor,
This sounds like a known issue reported here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
# Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
# Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
Hopefully this helps!

Downloaded latest IOS update and now can't open apps or mail attachments. Help?

Just downloaded the latest IOS update on my iPad and now can no longer access app's or attachments in my mail box.
I am receiving my e-mail but cannot access the internet, Google etc
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

The ID for updating apps has changed and I can't update apps

I went to update apps and when the pop up came up there was a different ID there and I can't update.

You can logout of the account via Settings > Store and touching the account id on the right-hand side, and then logging in with the correct it - you can also do it via the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store tab.

HT4623 Can't update apps help

can't update apps. Just spins

Yes, it is official. iPad 1 hasn't been eligible for an update in 2 years.
It will run any applications that are compatible with iOS 5.
The selection is definitely thinning out as developers cater to the newer versions of iOS.
You can check the iTunes store to see if the apps you are interested in support iOS 5 but IMO, it most likely isn't worth buying an iPad 1 unless you have a very limited simplistic use for it.

Changed user name and now can't sign in -HELP!

I just wanted to change my user name, so I went to accounts and just changed that, not the password or anything else...I restarted my computer and now I can't sign in with the new OR the old...what can I do?

I followed these steps:
Resetting the original administrator account password
Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account (of several) needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, the original administrator user may reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above.
Start up from a Mac OS X Install CD (one whose version is closest the the version of Mac OS X installed). You should first disable Open Firmware password protection, if it is enabled. Hold the C key as the computer starts.
Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger). Tip: If you don't see this menu or menu choice, you're probably not started from the CD yet.
Select your Mac OS X hard disk volume.
Set the user name of your original administrator account.
Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually a reference to the root user. Do not confuse it with a normal administrator account.
Enter a new password.
Click Save.

TS1741 Changed password and now can't rent movies

I had to change my apple password on my iPad and now my husband is having problems viewing a movie on Apple TV. How do I put new info in regarding payment for this movie.

One option is to backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option (which stores the data in /Users/Deleted Users/ as a disk image), recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and into the recreated account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, and restore the data.

I recently changed apple ids on my iphone and now can not update or download any apps

I recently had an issue with my apple id and icould.
I deleted my original apple id and made a new one with my new email address.
I updated my phone with the info but now cannot update any apps on my phone and I cannot download any new apps?
HELP!!!!
Thank you! : )

Ok...that kind of makes sense to me. I logged out and logged back in and am trying to update the apps that were downloaded under the old name.
Why is it not allowing me to download any new apps though under the new name?

Changed file names, now can't update files

Help!!!! I switched the names of my files this morning to the domain name that I've purchased. Doing so, however, appears to prevent me from updating my pages. Now, when I click on Modify>Library>Update Page, I get a message that reads, "Error Acessing file... file not found (error code -43)" .
I *think* the problem is with the template name. The 60 pages that I first designed were built on the original template name, "2000." All of these pages continue to say "Templates/2000_template.dwt" at the top of the pages, as this snippet shows:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
.
I'm guessing that, because I have changed the name of the template (as well as the file it's stored in), the child pages will not recognize the new template and subsequently not allow me to update the page.
How do I get out of this fix? I can't change the template name on each page, as it's in a noneditable region. Do I have to backstep and rename all of my files to the original (and now incorrect) name I was working off of?
Thanks to anyone who can help.

I think that what you may have done is either change the filename for your template outside of Dreamweaver or you have broken the link to the template.
I do rename some templates on my websites to keep things neat, as sometimes I "inherit" websites that are poorly constructed. I have two that are entirely tables-based and they are five-fingered boogers (the kind you can't just flick off easily). These tend to come complete with clients who don't want to pay to have their websites redesigned. No extra charge for that option.
You can try doing a Modify>Templates>Apply Template to page for all of your pages and it might help a lot to automate that: Open a page that needs to be attached to your template, Go to Commands>Start Recording, pull down Modify>Templates>Apply Template and choose the template, stop your recording then pull down Commands>Play recorded command for each page you need to reattach the renamed template to.
Another cause here is that you may have inadvertently changed the path to the template. If you do renaming and moving from within Dreamweaver the links to templates are not supposed to break -- but sometimes this does happen.

I renamed my AppleID and now my previously downloaded apps won't update

I changed my AppleID (like this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40) from an old-school plain username (golorengo) to my email address ([email protected]). I thought, according to the FAQ here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37, this would not be a problem ("Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address.").
However, since I did that, my previously downloaded apps on my iPhone won't update, presumably because they don't recognize the "new" ID. I cannot change my ID back, because Apple no longer allows IDs which are not emails, and my original ID was not an email address. Therefore I have no way to log in as my "old" account to update my apps.
Am I screwed? Do I have to redownload all my apps with this "new" account? Is the FAQ just totally lying to me? I have tried restarting, loging in and back out, etc. Nothing helps.
All the other similar questions I've found involve people who have created completely new AppleIDs or changed from email to email, such that they still have access to their old account. I (obviously) cannot log in with my original username and just update that way.
Please help; iTunes email support is not being helpful.
Thanks,
Loren

In case anyone comes across this thread, I thought I'd post the (probably unique) almost-conclusion to my saga.
My downfall was not realizing that I had somehow (I have no memory of doing so) created a new account when I got my iPhone (yes, this was stupid, but I didn't realize that the email address linked to my original account was not the same as the name on my original account, as they are required to be now) and then that account was hacked.
1. Original 2009 account on computer = golorengo linked to email address [email protected]
New account unknowingly created in 2011 = [email protected]
2. [email protected] is hacked and changed to [email protected]
This allows me to change golorengo to [email protected] I thought I was restoring my account from my computer, but instead I was signing in under my original 2009 golorengo account. Even though my apps say they were bought by [email protected], I still cannot update these apps, because they were bought by the 2011 [email protected] account, not the 2009 one.
I figured this all out myself after 3 weeks of back and forth through iTunes support with literally the dumbest (or most illiterate) person I've ever had the misfortune to email with. I STILL have not gotten access to my hacked account, despite the fact that I have given her the information with which to restore my account THREE separate times.
In summary: it is WAY too easy to accidentally create a new account, way too easy to get hacked, and way too easy to get screwed by DRM. And iTunes support is horrible.

Migrated to 9i and now can't "test" app module

I have a project that was migrated from 3.2 to 9.02. When I try to test an app module I get this error:
javax.naming.NoInitialContextException: Cannot instantiate class: oracle.jbo.server.xml.DefaultMomContextFactory. Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: oracle.jbo.server.xml.DefaultMomContextFactory
when running the "oracle.jbo.jbotester.MainFrame".
Ideas anyone?

belive it or not this worked for me:
“Go to Settings > General > Date and Time > Set Automatically > Off. Set the date one year ahead. Try to update the apps again or press the button from Passbook. If you get an error message, go back to the Settings app and change Date and Time > Set Automatically back to On. Then go back and try again.”
please note that when you go to app store when you change time to future go through passbook / and close the app then and then wehn you set time back to auto go back to app store through passbook and it will work then close it and then normal app store icon will work form now on
good luck

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
