  • When I try to buy or update an app on my ipad, a window comes up asking me for a password using SOMEONE ELSE'S apple ID which prevents me from buying the app. How can I get my ipad toprompt for a password using my own apple ID, like it does w/ itunes

    When I try to buy or update apps, myipad asks me for a password using SOMEONE ELSE'S apple ID, which prevents me from buying/updating apps. But when I am buying songs on itunes, the ipad asks me for my password using MY OWN apple ID and everything works fine. HOW DO I GET MY IPAD TO REQUEST MY PASSWORD USING MY OWN apple ID WHEN I AM BUYING OR UPDATING APPS?

    The apps you are trying to update were purchased with (and therfore permanently linked to) someone elses Apple ID. If you do not know the password then you need to delete the app and redownload/purchase it with your Apple ID.

  • Somebody stole my iphone :| .. and i used someone else's apple ID i also have find my iphone but i don't have an apple ID (i use someone else's) So how can I get my phone back?? If i go to the apple store...can they find it for me without hesitation?

    IT WAS AN IPHONE4s

    Apple can't find it for you.  You have to go to icloud.com on a computer and sign into the iCloud account that was used on the phone, then see if you can track it as described here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442.  If you don't know the password for your iCloud account you won't be able to sign in to track it.
    If it was stolen, contact the police and your carrier, and change your passwords.

  • How do I update apps that are linked to someone else's apple account?

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble updating previously installed apps as they were installed using someone else's apple account. I have since changed the account settings to my own apple account, but anything that was put on before the changes can't be updated as it asks for the old apple I.D. and password.
    Please help
    Thanks

  • I need to update my phone, but my computer broke, and do not have a new one. I have an Itunes account, can I use someone else computer to go through with the update?  Is there a chance of loosing all my data, ie: music/photos?

And if all else fails can i go to the apple store and have them update my phone?

    Update to what? The 3G you want to update? You have ios3 or 4 on that 3G?
    Go to a friend, authorize that pc.

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

  • How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

    How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • ITunes i have downloaded some movies.  i have an apple tv set up under a different account.  how can i stream the movies from my pc to someone else's apple tv?

    i have a windows based pc and on iTunes i have downloaded some movies.  i have an apple tv set up under a different account.  how can i stream the movies from my pc to someone else's apple tv?

    If you wish to use home sharing then you need to setup the Apple TV under your ID.

  • Why does App Store update ask me for someone else's Apple ID?

    I have 14 Apps that have updates available.  I was able to update a few using my Apple ID.  However, the rest all pop up with a message asking for someone else's Apple ID and Password when I click on Update.
    I know this person but all the apps were downloaded using my Apple ID so I do not understand why it is asking me for his password and showing me his Apple ID.
    I have tried signing off and back on but still get the same results.  This is fairly new problem.  I used to be able to use my own Apple ID to upgrade the apps on my phone.  But not anymore.  I do not have this person's password so I am unable to complete the update.
    Any ideas on how to change this behavior?
    Thanks
    Pvtbear

    Those apps were apparently purchased on the other person's Apple ID or were transferred to your computer from the other person's computer. Those apps are not registered against your Apple ID. Either you use the Apple ID and password of this other person or you purchase the apps using your Apple ID.
    It's simple enough to check your Purchases page in the App Store to see if these apps are listed for you.

    How would i use someone else's iPhone to find my iPhone? what App to I need to run to search for my iPhone

    Settings>general>resets>erase all content and settings.
    That will put it back to its out of the box state. Set it up with your own apple Id.

  • TS3048 my wireless mouse is not working at all. I have changed the batteries and still nothing, not even a flashing green light. I am using someone else's computer to ask these questions as I now can't use mine. Help!!!

    my wireless mouse is not working at all. I have changed the batteries and still nothing, not even a flashing green light. I am using someone else's computer to ask these questions as I now can't use mine. Help!!!

    I just had the same problem. And I found the solution, on Youtube.
    The problem is that these ******** at apple designed the battery compartement, the distance between metal contacts too big.
    That means the batteries plus or minus poles are not touching the corresponding contacts in the mouses battery compartement.
    Most likely the battery doesn't get pushed up to touch the plus contacts.
    I used a fingernail to push the battery up and tadaa, the green LED came on.
    The guy in the Youtube video just put some folded aluminium foil under the minus poles for bridging the gap.
    See here, "How to fix the Apple Magic Mouse!":

  • When updating apps - someone else's Apple ID appears?

    When I try to update my apps someone else's Apple ID appears? Obviously I do not know password, have reset the phone, and gone in to settings and it's only my id that's there- how can I get rid of this other Apple ID?
    Thanks in advance

    That only happens if the apps were purchased using another ID. All apps are forever tied to the ID used to originally obtain them. The only fix is to delete this content, then re-purchase using your ID.
