Incorrect Apple ID on Itunes App Store on Iphone. How to fix?

Hi Guys,
I helped move a friends iphone to her new iphone but her app store purchases are coming up with my apple id instead of hers.
Whats happened is a I have an Iphone, i backed it up as i was moving to a 4 from a 3GS. Somehow in the settings that went across to the new phone my personal apple id had been associated to the app store. Yet when i checked the settings on the new phone after all data had been resotred after the backup.
Ive checked her apple id is coming up in these places.
Itunes and App Store
Messages
FaceTime
Would it be because i restored from my laptop and it was signed in on Itunes?

Being signed in when you restored the device is probably what caused it.
Settings / iTunes and App Stores / click on the appleID, a new menu will pop up. Choose sign out. You will be taken back to the settings page. Go back to the appleID, enter the ID and password.
You will (or should) also check the settings under iCloud, iMessage, and facetime to be sure you are signed in under your information.
Hope this helps.

My iPad won't accept my Apple ID on iTunes & App Store

I recently had a problem with signing in with my apple id on ipad. It started when I can't download applications from the app store properly. The device will ask for my password but once I've entered the password it will load for a moment and get that GET button again. So I now signed out my apple id on itunes as well as icloud. I've reset my password. Now, it won't accept my apple id and password. But it worked perfectly on my icloud account. Once I've entered my password and id it will just load for a bit. The sign in button will not be active. But then after several seconds it will appear again with no further notifications or error display.

Hi Go to itunes bottom of page sign out then sign back in that may help . Cheers Brian

Cannot access newly created Apple id on iTunes/App store

I just created an Apple id while setting up my new iPad. It setup the account with an iCloud address. When I tried logging into the App store with those account details, it asked me to review my account information since its a first-time user account.
Now, this is where the problem actually begins. I understand that I need to add my billing information when I press Review. But, the iPad gives an error saying 'Cannot connect to the iTunes Store'.
So, I tried signing in through iTunes on my computer where it asks me to review the account information again. On iTunes, it shows an error, 'We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection was reset. Make sure your network connection is active and try again.'
My internet connection is very much active. So I wonder what exactly is causing this problem. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

My ID is over 6 years old, and I can't do anything on the itunes store today. Can't download updates from the App store, can't buy songs, can't turn itunes match on or off, can't sign in or out. Over 12 hours of trying today. Something is messed up with the store.

I have 2 apple id's and the ipad and mbp id's do not match for the app store.. How to fix?

MBP(Snow Leopard) with apple ID 1
iPad synch's MBP to ID 1 since purchase 14 months ago.
Upgraded to IOS5 and now App store wants me to do iPad app update using Apple ID2
Question:
If I resynch the iPad with MBP(Snow Leopard) will things "reset" so I'm back to ID 1?
I'm about to trigger the upgrade to Lion and am not sure if I have already migrated to iCloud. Would this fix things?
In the end of the day I want to target everything on ID 1 as ID 2 is a .mac account that will go away next June.
Thanks

All purchases (and their updates) are forever tied to the ID used when they were bought. You cannot erase an ID, you simply stop using it. You will have to allow your son an exclusive account if he wants to use your computer. Can you log in under your ID now ... or do you have to use his? If the latter is the case, he has clearly changed your ID to one that is his.

ITune App Store lists iPhone apps only. Even though I have an iPad.

I have an iPad. Yet when I look for Apps in the iTunes Store. I get catagories with listings for iPhone Apps not iPad apps. My iPad is synced with this computer. I cannot find a preference anywhere to change this. Help please.

If you are using the App Store on your iPad then there should be 'iPad Apps' and 'iPhone apps' buttons at the top of the screen. If you are on your computer's iTunes then there should be iPhone and iPad buttons at the top of the App Store home page

Try downloading any free app.

How to manage a different i.d. for apple id, emails, itunes, app store

I have an ID for Apple, one for iCloud, several email accounts, one for iTunes, etc. Since I lost track of the

Every time I try to login with my Apple ID (on iTunes, App Store, ...), I obtain the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons". How can I resolve?

The problem is described in the question.

I reset the Apple ID and I change the password EVERY TIME I've to log in with my Apple ID.
I try to login, the message appears, I change the password and then I can log in.
But the next time (maybe the next day) I've to repeat the process.
Why?

ITunes - App Store - There are updates available that ain't available?

First of all, I'm starting to think that the iPhone ***** big time, but that's a whole other story...
So, here's my issue: Apparently there are updates to my applications available. So says iTunes and also the App Store app on the iPhone, both of them reporting the same number of apps available.
I'm quite sure that there was a button to "update all" on the iPhone on 2.0.1 and 2.0, but that seems to be missing? (but not the point anyway)
Then, in iTunes, the applications view tells me that there are updates available. When I click that link on the lower right that usually redirects to the update page, iTunes tells me that there are no updates available for my account?!
How can that be? Either there are or there ain't.
Is there a way to fix that problem? I would have updated the applications trough the iPhone, but as there are many (44) and I would have do update them one-by-one, I'd like to go an easier way...
I'm really patient, but I start to hate my iPhone. As it is now, it is just a ******* expensive piece of junk. :-((

I have fixed a similar issue in my iTunes. Here is my thoughts on why it happened and the fix.
I had recently added a second computer w/ iTunes with which my iPhone is now synching. I wanted to move my music library synching from work to home.
On the 1st PC (@ Work) I was synching:
Info, Contacts
Info, Calendar
Ringtones
Music
Podcasts
Video
Applications
On the 2nd PC (@ Home) I began synching:
Ringtones
Music
Video
Applications (this nicely caused all of my iPhone Applications to be copied to this PC, in case of a need for a restore from home)
After beginning synching on the 2nd PC (@ Home), I disabled synching on 1st PC of:
Ringtones
Music
Video
Applications (This apparently caused the issue)
The issue with phantom updates was showing up on the 1st PC (@ Work), but I was not synching Applications here. Apparently, I had updated some Applications from the 2nd PC (@ Home) and iTunes detected this and saw a need to show that my iTunes Applications needed updating. Something not in synch between iPhone - iTunes - App Store I believe.
The Fix:
On the 1st PC (@ Work) I enabled synching of Applications and then performed a synch. The phantom updates went away. I noted during the synch that my iPhone apparently updated some of the applications in my iTunes library.
I hope this helps or enlightens others having this difficulty.

HT204266 My apple ID for the App Store on my Iphone is incorrect. It is the email address of someone on my contact list and not me. How do I change the Apple ID Password on my Iphone to my Apple ID Password

When I go on the App Store App on my Iphone my Apple ID is not correct. It is the email address of someone on my contact list. How can I correct this and replace the incorrect Apple ID with my ID?

Go to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, click on the Apple ID. Sign out. Click again and sign in with your Apple ID.
Is it possible that this someone in your contact list had the phone and downloaded an app for you?

Can i create an apple account with an app store card, or do i Need an itunes card?

Can i create an apple account with an app store card, or do i Need an itunes card?

You need an iTunes card.
You can setup an account without a credit card if that helps.

I found this in the iTunes help menu.
Redeem an iTunes allowance, gift certificate, or Gift Card
If you received an iTunes Store allowance, gift certificate, iTunes Gift Card, or promotional code, you can use it to buy songs, videos, or audiobooks from the iTunes Store.
You need to set up an Apple ID for use with the iTunes Store before you can redeem anything in the iTunes Store. You don’t need to enter credit card information to redeem only the amount of a gift certificate or card.
Before redeeming anything, make sure you are signed into the iTunes Store (choose Store > Sign In, or select Sign In from the navigation bar at the top of the iTunes Store window):
I don't see any mention of App Store cards.
