Incorrect apple id appears when updating apps can it be fixed?

The account name that I used when setting up my ipad 1  is not the same apple id as my account when I goto update an app. Yet when i goto my itunes and scroll down to the bottom where it says account name etc it shows the correct name there. I want to know how to be able to get rid of this apple id that appears with the wrong name. Your help would be deeply appreciated. Also could you be so kind as in to give me directions in laymens terms as I am new to this and its the iPad1 .

Go to settings and then to Store.
An apple ID is listed here. If it's the wrong one, simply tap and edit it.
Hope that helps.

  • How to remove Apple ID password when updating apps?

    This may be a stupid question but my iPhone asks me for a password for every App I update unless I click Update All then it will only request my apple id once.
    Anyway, how can I get rid of this?

    Thanks for the reply. I've managed to find it myself, settings - general - restrictions was turned on and it stated require password immediately.

  • "Unable to download application" appears when updating apps....????

    Anyone had this appear before?  Same message appearing on two ipads! HELP!!

    Hi,
    I've been struggling to find a solution to this for days but just finally stumbled across a fix which worked for me.
    If you are using your home wifi as your connection, go into the network settings and change the DNS to 8.8.8.8
    I wrote my original settings down first in case this didn't work so I could put them back, but it worked first time.
    Give it a go!

  • How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

    How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

    Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
    Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
    You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
    Hope that helps...
    If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.

  • Reg. Change apple id but keeps on appearing during update how can i sign out my old apple id

    When i press the update my old apple id appears when i put my password it states that it was disabled. I created a new apple id but my old appears everytime theres an update

    First of all , you can use the link iforgot.apple.com to get a reset of your old apple id acct.
    but if you wanna to use the new apple id for future , since the all which is already download from old id , the right of the app is stick at that apple id , so you must del it and download again using your new apple id .\
    Remember , if your app need to pay , i suggust you to reset the odl id.
    Enjoy

  • How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

    How do I delete an old Apple ID and still update apps purchased when I was using it?

    One, you cannot delete an Apple ID, all you can do is stop using it and let it fade away.
    Two, apps are permanently tied to an aPple ID and can never be transferred to another.  You must use that same ID to update an app, or delete the app and repurchase/download under another ID.

  • HT204053 how come there is another apple id appears when im about to update the applications that i have downloaded?

    how come there is another apple id appears when im about to update the applications that i have downloaded?

    When a stranger's Apple ID appears on your Mac in conjunction with an update for an app that you have never installed, you have a pirated app on your Mac. The pirated app is not the app calling for the update. This pirated app has been cracked with the MAS receipt from usually a free app, often Angry Birds or Twitter, acquired by the person whose Apple ID you see.
    You may not have realized that it was a pirated app when you installed it. You may have believed that it was a trail version or a "free" version.
    All MAS apps have a MAS receipt in their app bundle. Check any app acquired from the MAS. Right click on the app's icon in your Apps folder and choose Show package contents. In the Contents folder is a _MASReceipt folder and in that folder is the coded MAS receipt. It has the Apple ID of the MAS account that bought/acquired the app from the MAS. It is that receipt that the MAS uses to alert you that an app has an update. There would not be a notice of an update with someone else's Apple ID showing in the MAS on your Mac, if there was not an app with a receipt from this person's account somewhere on your Mac.
    Download the free app FindAnyFile (FAF);
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
    This app is easier to use and seems to be more powerful than Spotlight. Open FAF and in the box type _MASReceipt and press Find. It should come up with a list of every app on the Mac with a MAS receipt. Compare the apps with receipts in FAF's list with your purchased apps list in the Mac App Store. The odd app out should be the pirated app.

    If the thief enabled activation lock on the device, then there is nothing that can be done.  Only the password for the Apple ID that it is locked with can disable activation lock.

  • How do i change what apple id i want to use when updating apps?

    When updating apps, it shows my boyfriends apple id (we share a plan and both just got 4S). Every thing else shows my apple id. I want to use my own accont to update apps. How do I get rid of his apple id on my phone?

    You cannot.
    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.  You will always have to update them using the same account.

  • How do I Install or re-buy iPhoto for my Mac when the app can't lunch?

    How do I Install or re-buy iPhoto for my Mac when the app can't lunch?
    The App Store does not let me buy iPhoto from scratch nor update it. I used the original Applications Install DVD to re-install iPhoto, and the icon appeared but the app could not be used because iPhoto 2.1 is not compatible with the Mac operating system OS X (10.9.2)? I thried to update manually through apple support, and a notification of unauthorized licence did not let it happen.  What is this? What happened with my iPhoto? What can I do to solve this and safe my photos? I'm willing to pay for it, but even the app store say that it can't becuase it was suppousely bought through another account? Please help!

    Not launching is probablay not a software issue - it is probably a data issue
    No - iPhoto 2 version 2.1 is not compatible with Mavericks - or pretty much anything else - you need to purchase iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings.iTunes and App store and sign out and sing back in
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up

    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    You may have to restore your iPad using Recovery mode, but try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons when you see the logo. This takes about 10-15 seconds.
    IF the update will not complete or you see the connect to iTunes message on the screen, you have to restore your iPad.

  • When updating apps in iTunes there is no more description what's "new in this version"...

    Hi
    I regulary update my  collection of apps via iTunes on my Macbook Pro and then sync  back to my iPhone and iPad. When I check out the website of a specific app (https://itunes.apple.com/.../app/.../id) in a browser or in the update tab on my iPad/iPhone I can find a description of what's new in the current version of the app. This used to be also a helpful feature in iTunes but it's gon with iTunes 11. Strange but when updating apps in iTunes there is mostly no more description what's "new in this version"...

    I did download these. Tarascon Adult Emergency Medicine, Scanner 911, Angry Birds, Cut the rope, Epicurious, Home Away, Nike Running, etc...
    I occationally sync it with my computer. I wonder if I can delete them from there?

  • My ipad2 says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when updating apps

    My iPad2 says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when updating apps.  Connects properly when buying apps or music - only problem is when updating.   I have tried all the suggestions that I have found:  soft reset, ensuring that restrictions, changing my apple account password, turning on automatic downloads.
    Any ideas?  Thanks much.

    Same here. I have an iPad2, IOS5 WiFi and the iPad can not connect to iTunes store from Videos and Itunes App.
    App Sore is OK, and Safari also where connection is ok.
    My computer, Windows 7/64 connects via iTunes utility ok.
    I upgraded to IOS5 the same day as I got the iPad2, and I am not sure if it worked before.
    Any solutions to this problem ?
    It looks like that many other users have similar problem.
