IPhone 4 Won't Update Apps After Email Change

I changed my Apple ID email online.  Then I went into the store settings and signed in with the new one.  Worked.  Then I went to the app store and it still shows my old Email address when I try to update things.  Can't change it there.  If I go to the app store>catergories>scroll the bottom, I can see my NEW email address there, but not in the update area.  I've synced it in iTunes, I've turned the iPhone off and on a number of times now.  I can't update any apps or buy things from the app store because my old email address shows up in ONE PLACE and ONE PLACE ONLY...  the update apps area.  How can I fix this so I can use the app store once again?
Thanks!!! 

I have the same annoying problem.. When my old id-adress came up, i tried to write in the password.. And im positive that i wrote in the correct one, but i won't go through.. So I try to reset that password by getting it on my email.. But I never get a emal.. And now, after trying for a million times, the apps that i tryed to update, no longer shows ???
This is so annoying!!
Please someone help us!
I did try to reset my primary apple-id adress, but it won't change. It says that the adress is already in use..
I fon't grt this?
When you change your apple-id all of your stuff, apps and everything should come along, so that you can update them or whatever as normal even if the apple-id is changed..
This is ********. It shouldn't be this hard !!

  • Iphone 5 won't update apps after iOS 6.1

    I recently downloaded the new ios 6.1 software and now I can't update any apps. The screen is blank but the app still tells me I need to update my apps. I tried turning the phone off and back on and that didn't work. Resetting it also didn't work. I plugged it into the computer hoping I could fix it that way but no luck. Any suggestions?

    I have the very same issue. There are updates but it's not showing them. If you go to appstore and search for the installed apps it will then show which one to update. For ex I just had the badge indicating that I had three updates but the screen was blank. Searched for Facebook, as I had updated for an iPad earlier, and it indicated that it should be updated. Same thing with Tweetbot. I'm still trying to figure out what is the third one.

  • TS1368 Verizon iPhone 4 won't update apps

    For about two weeks now, my Verizon iPhone 4 (ios 5.1.1)  won't update apps from the update feature.  I can make purchases and otherwise access my account, but although the red icon appears to tell me that there are updates available, I receive the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" when I open the apps app.  I have no trouble updating the apps manually (by searching for the app and choosing "install" I am prompted to update.)  But I can't update automatically by using the updates icon on the App Store menu.
    I have a 4th gen iPod and iPad 3 as well, and they have no trouble updating normally on the same network; nor does my computer.  I can't find any reference to anyone else having this problem; can anyone help?
    FYI, I have already tried every solution I've seen posted on this site to no avail.  They only seem to address the issue of not being able to access the iTunes store at all; I ONLY have this issue with the update function -- purchases and manual updates work fine.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately, the app that is problematic is the App Store app, which is undeletable. Nothing else is giving me a problem.
    I did eventually find a thread discussing this problem, and all the solutions are work-arounds, such as update from iTunes on my computer and then sync to my phone.  This does work, but it's a bit of a pain to have to do that in order to update.  I'd really like to just do it automatically from the device, the way it was intended to work.

  • Updating apps after a change in Apple ID

    This question may well be addressed elsewhere, but it may help to have it here with a solution.
    I recently changed the email of my Apple ID. The change caused several problems and one with App store.
    Updating apps (e.g. Keynote) bought before the change, I found that the Apple ID proposed when I did so was the old one, which was, of course, no longer valid. It's greyed out in the window so you can't change it.
    I began to think I wasn't going to be able to update at all. But then I found a post related to something else but which helped out here.
    So the solution is to first trash the application and then click on "Buy" in the App store. You then get a window in which you can type the right Apple ID and connect to the store. You reclick "Buy" and because the app figures in the list you bought previously, the App store graciously lets you download the updated app for free. 

    OK I think I have the answer
    Work, in order to give me a functioning machine, installs Apple apps using its own Apple ID. It means they can write an image to my disk instead of painstakingly installing a box o' apps. makes perfect sense.
    I then add my own preferred apps, and those I bought myself through the apple store using MY Apple ID.
    Thus I can update "My" apps but can't update the apps installed by our IT department, because the system wants the appleID from the installer/disk image they were installed from.
    Thus I can upgrade to Yosemite but not install the related apps like pages/Keynote, etc. since it asks for the IT department's Apple ID and not mine, regardless of the apple ID I have entered in the System prefs.
    This happens with the following Apple apps::
    Pages
    Numbers
    Keynote
    iMovie
    iPhoto
    So: here's my solution.
    After you have the entire system updated etc, and you have isolated the apps that won't update for this specific reason, delete one of those apps, install it from scratch from the apple store, wait for it to download and install, open it once to make sure it works, then move to the next one. Painstaking I know but it worked...

  • IPad won't update apps after upgrading to ios8 ?

    Hello,
    I have been having touble with my apps getting updated.  This seemed to have started after I downloaded the ios 8 on my iPad.  I didn't have the problem before. I had 15 updates its now down to 8 but I have been waiting for the past 4 days for it to complete.  It keep stalling/pausing and I have to restart it.  I have tried to turn the iPad off and on.  I don't want to have to uninstall the apps and redo all of them.  Is there something wrong with my it because of the iOS 8 update?  Is there a recommendation or a resolution to solve the issue.  Thank you

  • My iPhone 5 won't update Apps

    Ever since I updated to the iOS 8, my phone just refuses to update my apps. I have restarted my phone, signed in and out of Apple ID, turned my wifi on and off, and nothing is working. Is there another way to fix this? Or is this going on in Apple's side?
    Thanks!

    Did you ever resolve the issue?  I have the same problem.

  • Can't update apps after name change.

    I just recently changed my iTunes name. I made sure I logged in with it on my computer and did so with no problem. Now I also updated that info on my iPhone 4. I can buy apps with no problem whatsoever, however when I try to update my apps from the app store via iPhone, it keeps asking for the password to my old username and not my new one. Even of I did enter the password for it, it says that it is incorrect. How can I get my phone to recognize my new username for updates. Remember, there is no problem when buying the apps. It asks for the pass to the correct name.

    You will have to call 1-800-MY-APPLE for a resolution. Apple will be able to consolidate the two accounts, but it can only be done over the phone. It's under the [FAQ|http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37] section for Apple ID's.

  • I can't update apps after IOS change

    Somebody out there has the same problem????? I can't download new apps

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode

  • IPhone 4 won't update email or send texts

    My iPhone 4 won't update my email, send texts or show my call log.  Restarting hasn't helped

    Update (for anyone else who has had this problem):
    A few days ago, my iPhone decided to get its act together and fixed itself.
    I had seen some indications out there in researching this that if you just give it time, it will correct itself.
    Low and behold, after checking in on it every couple days, it finally started downloading and updating correctly.
    I don't know that I can really offer anything to do or not do.
    All I did was just not worry about downloading new apps, or updating the current ones.
    Didn't sync with iTunes/Outlook, and just used the phone in the condition it was in.
    After several days, it went back to normal.
    I have several educated guesses on what may have caused it, but nothing at all definitive.
    Anyhow, there you are: apparently the solution is to do nothing, and let the iPhone sort out its own problems.

  • My iPhone 5 won't update/install apps !! Any idea why ?

    I own an iPhone 5, an iPhone 4s and an iPad 2.
    They are all not jailbroken and are all running on ios 6.0.1
    While my iPhone 4s and iPad 2 have no problem updating existing apps or installing new apps, my iPhone 5 won't update/install apps all !!
    To be fair, about 2 week ago, all my iPhone 5 update/install won't work but after a day or two, they started downloading.
    But now, my iPhone 5 updates and installations have been stalled for a week.
    What is happening ? Can anybody please help ? Thanks.

    Okay fixed it:
    First of all make a backup and sync your iPhone in iTunes.
    Next reinstall your iPhone using DFU mode:
    (FIND HOW 2 GET IN DFU MODE ON GOOGLE, APPLE DO NOT ALLOW TO PUT IN LINKS HERE :-( )
    Then choose to put your latest backup back on your iPhone.
    And voila you should see you now can recieve updates from App Store.
    (It worked for me)

  • Apps on iPhone 5 won't update with ios8

    My apps on iPhone 5 won't update after installation of ios8.

    Hi davieg502, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that it can be frustrating when your iTunes or App Stores do not function the way you would expect, especially with application updates. In this situation I would recommend the steps located in the attached article to start the troubleshooting process. 
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time. 
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Cheers, 
    Joe

  • After updating to iOS 6.1.2, neither my iPhone or iPad will update apps thru App Store. Any suggestions?

    After updating to iOS 6.1.2, neither my iPhone or iPad will update apps thru App Store. Any suggestions?

    What happens when you try?
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s

    Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s
    I can no longer update apps on my iPhone 4s after the IOS 8 update. The IOS 8 update took a very long time to complete, maybe 12 hours, and afterwards, it worked but updating packages were very slow. Package updates have since been problematic and about 4 days ago, it stopped being able to update any packages. I click on them to update and they never make any progress. I have 2.8 Gbytes free and I keep deleting more and more packages, pictures, etc. It seems like, from the amount of stuff that I have deleted, I should have more than 2.8 Gbytes free.
    Is anyone else having this kind of problem?

    16GB iPhone4: Go to Settings, scroll down to iTunes & App Stores and touch. At the top of the next page it shows: Apple ID. Touch this. Select Sign Out. Your Apple ID will go away. Re-enter Apple ID and password. Try App Store again.
       Other solutions were to go to Settings:General:Date&Time and turn off auto-update, then change date to next year. This didn't work for me, nor a lot of other users on the forums. It took reading a lot of threads to find the log-out, log-in solution. Even on the official Apple Website all I saw was: Make sure your connection is working, battery is charged, desktop is plugged in when you try to sync. OK I exaggerate, but with all the users posting this problem, you'd think they'd post their solutions when they work with a Tech Help call.

  • HT1222 iPhone 5s won't turn on after this update. Battery was at 98%, tried holding sleep & home button while plugged in, no good. Any ideas?

    iPhone 5s won't turn on after this update. Battery was at 98%, tried holding sleep & home button while plugged in, no good. Any ideas?

    P.S. I just noticed; when I hold the power and home button at the same time while it's plugged in as if I was going to restart it, my computer acts as if I'd plugged it in again (it makes the USB notification sound, itunes opens up again, I get the same "your iphone is in recovery mode" message, etc.), but that's the only response I've been able to get from pressing anything on the iphone. thanks again.
