If I am updating an app do I need to remove the old one first?

IIf I am updating an app on my IPad, do I need to remove the old one first eg books or Linkedin?

NO, the update is applied to the existing app. No need to delete the old one.

I created a new ID for my Iphone, because the old ID was an email address I no longer have. Also, the phone wouldn't recognize the password I have always used. Now the problem is when I try to update my apps, it automatically wants to use the old ID.

Now the problem is when I try to update my apps, it automatically wants to use the old ID. I've set the new ID for the phone, but it defaults to the old one when asking for a password to update apps.

That's because all apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, & can only be updated using that ID.
To use your new ID with these apps, you'll have to delete them, then repurchase. Or, contact iTunes support, explain the situation, & ask that they add these apps to the download queue of your new ID.

Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.
Go to https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and re-set th password for the old one.
Then, log into the app store with it and update the apps purchased with that ID.

iTunes needs QuickTime to work.
I think you will be all set if you install QuickTime standalone, not regular

Download the isntall file to your hard drive - don't install it over the internet.
If you are running anything Norton, turn that completely off before installing.

I am trying to update my apps but my Apple id is an old one that isn't active, How do I delete the old apple id and use the new id which is my current email address

I am trying to update my apps and get new apps but my apple ID listed is an old inactive email address. How do I change it to my new email address? The new email address is in settings and is on my apple account. The only place the old one shows up is in the apps store - installing and updating. What do I do?

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them whether you are using the Apple ID for new purchases or not. All future updates will require the password for this original Apple ID. This can't be changed. The only way to stop this would be to delete these apps from your phone and iTunes library and repurchase them using your current ID.

I changed my email on my i tunes account and every time i try to updates an app it takes me back to the old email .what should i do to have the same email

i chamged my account on i tunes ,and i had a new email ,and it working fine when i purchase and when i log in to i tunes ,but everytime i need to press on update button it takes me to the old e mail and account ,what should i do.

Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.
How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.

HT204053 how to update new icloud account in iphone5 and delete the old one not belong to me

i got an old iphone 5 from my brother, and it been setting with somebody icloud account before , and it just recently losing all contact due to icloud account on the phone, how can i delete the old icloud account from the phone as it need password

After you change the account settings as I described below hold your finger on any app until they all wriggle, then tap the "-" on each purchased with her Apple ID. Press the HOME button when done. Then go to the App Store and buy or download the apps you want.

I have just updated my mac mini and am considering selling the old one.

My question is:
My old Mini came with Leopard 10.5.2 and I want to set it up with a clean install of Snow Leopard 10.6.3 from a retail disk and update from there to 10.6.8, so that I can sell it.
Can anyone tell me if I can reinstall the application bundles that came with the mini (iLife etc) from the original grey disks after re-installing Snow Leopard or do I have to install Leopard and upgrade to Snow Leopard afterwards.
Any info much appreciated.
Mark.

Suppose that would be better, I was thinking that I need to keep my SL Disk for my Macbook which I don't have a restore disk for, however as I have both time machine and a bootable back up and a bootable USB SL Drive for it, I don't really need the SL Disk any more.
Allows me to spend more time on the new one getting it how I wan't it.
Many thanks.
Mark.

HT204053 I have changed my apple ID and I changed it via computer. When I just went to update my apps, my phone is still showing the old apple ID so I can't log in to update. How do I change the apple ID from my iphone?

I have successfully changed my apple id via computer. Now, how do I change it on my actual phone? I have the 5.1.1 iphone 3G.

I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices.

After update to new Pages 5 I now have 2 Pages Apps how to uninstall the old one?

I have Mavericks, went to see what Apps were on the list to update, and amonst those were iLife and iWork apps that I already had. I updated everything on the list. I had a folder with the latest iWork apps in my Apps section that are still there, however, Ihave Brand new iWork Apps showing up separately in the Finder/Apps area. I wish to either uninstall or remove the old version and am not sure whether to use on of my Apps like App Delete to remove the old one, or click on to the old one, and just delete the old app. Thanks for Advice on this. I believe thousands , if not millions of people must have the same question.

This is a very good article which everyone should read. It talks about the quandry people are having with the new iWork applications compared to what you had with the old.

I want to sign in using apple id password and altho i have changed my email address on the settings, the old one comes up on the box on the ipad when trying to update all the apps. so putting password in no longer works, as its the address. how fix ?

Signing in using the apple id password to update and purchase stuff thru apple store, gives the old email and am unable to get into the apps store, etc...to change, update and purchase stuff. when using password it won't work, as the email is wrong, yet in the box doesn't appear a place to change the email. would have thought as it changed, days ago - it would change to the updated email.
how do i access the stuff ? thanks

How did you fix this??

While updating my apps on my iphone and it keeps showing one apple id & ask me to enter pwd.
(I think the apple id belongs to the Shopkeeper , he helped to download the apps while am purchasing the phone).
I have already updated my apple id from the settings and still not working.
Guys pls Help!!!

You have to delete the app from the shop keeper.
It's illegal to have apps not belong to you or your family.

I had an unauthorized purchase on my old apple ID so I created a new one since the old one had been deactivated and now I cannot update any of my apps, I have read that the apps will be tied to the old account but I do not want to delete/lose their data

I had an unauthorized purchase on my old apple ID so I created a new one since the old one had been deactivated and now I cannot update any of my apps, I have read that the apps will be tied to the old account but since the old one was deactivated I cant update them and I do not want to delete/lose their data, re download, and start all over again. Is there anyway to go around this issue?
thanks

Ask Apple to re-enable it. I had an unauthorized purchase last October. They disabled my account until the problem was solved. However, I asked them to reopen it, and they just asked me to provide some security information (billing address, a recent purchase you made, etc.), and then they re-enabled it.

HT5625 I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time.

I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time. I changed my apple ID when I got a new e mail address a few months ago .

Any apps you have installed from the old AppleID will always be tied to that AppleID. You have no choice but to enter the password for the old AppleID if you want to update apps downloaded using that ID.
The only way to stop being asked for the password for the old AppleID is to remove all apps from the device that were downloaded using that old AppleID.
You'd then need to re-download (and re-purchase) any apps you want to keep using under the new AppleID.
Apps cannot be transferred between AppleIDs.

If I am updating an app do I need to remove the old one first?
