IPhone 6 plus not getting right iTunes account when updating apps

New iPhone 6 plus. I have iTunes store and app store logged in to the right iTunes accounT. However, when I try to update apps it is asking me to sign into a different iTunes account I don't have the pasword for and don't want to use (my Mac book used to be my sisters...my phone is trying to log in to her iTunes when I update apps). Any idea how I can make it pick up the right account?

Whose account downloaded those apps ? If you copied from them your sister's computer and she downloaded them onto that computer then they will be tied to her account - you will need to delete the apps from your phone (which will delete their content) and redownload them on your account for you to be able to download future updates on them on your account

Getting message Can not connect to iTunes Store when updating apps

I'm getting the message can not connect to iTunes Store when trying to update apps. I have tried troubleshooting in every way possible. Help please

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.
In the meantime ...........

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Hello Lozza63
Check out the article below to see what could be blocking you from selecting None as a form of payment.
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

HT1386 I just updated my iTunes and now all of a sudden my iPhone is not syncing into iTunes. When I plug my iPhone into my computer, a thing pops up on my iPhone saying "Do you trust this computer" and I press "Trust" but it still doesn't do anything.

Why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?

why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?

p.s. not updating to iOS6 yet

I'm sorry Allan, I should have clarified, your answer is improbable (well the first part atleast).
The apps I have had since the first week of purchase of my iphone back in 2011, I have not added any apps until 2 months before the last software update. This starting happening when the new software was implemented but I have not updated to iOS6 yet. Unless this person was able to hack into my account & transfer them to their account, I do not see how that is possible.
Prior to seeing this other AppleID, I have a popup to prompt me for my AppleID each time I download content. Each time I would see mine and enter my password.

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.

Why does this stupid Apple TV not recognize my itunes account when I put in my ID and password??? I've had nothing but problems with it.

Why does this stupid Apple TV not recognize my itunes account??

if you mean home sharing then
home sharing is not set on the appletv but on the itunes program on the computer which lib one wish to share
the home share password need not be the appleID password as homeshare is also meant to share your media with others on your LAN network whom you may not wish to know your appleID password
so home sharing password is set seperately in ituens on your computer

Can not get my itunes account verified.

Since updating my itunes account last April, I have not been able to get through the verification process. I click the "verify" to send a verification email, but it never gets to my email. I was with Apple's support for 45 minutes Sunday night. They say the emails were sent and did not bounce back, so I should contact my mail provider. I have checked my spam folder and even called my mail provider's support. They say nothing of the sort has come from Apple. I'm getting rather frustrated over all this. Has anyone had this experience and can anyone help? I can't download anything from Apple for my computer or iphone. Is there some special source for this email from Apple that is not recognized at my end? Thank you for any help.

We're not Apple, but you can contact iTunes Support: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

My iPhone 'Cannot connect to iTunes store' when updating apps?

On my iPhone, when i need to update my apps i enter my email & password and it comes up saying 'Cannot connect to iTunes store'. How do i fix this? It's not my phone, i've tried on my sisters touch & dad's iPhone also.. same result. And when I log on to iTunes on my computer, everything is fine.

I had a go at that.. and it comes up saying i dont even have any updates to download.. but i do on my iPhone. It's annoying. Even if i do download the apps on my computer and sync, how are my sisters supposed to update my app on their ipods/iphones?

How get around "Cannot connect with iTunes Store" when updating apps?

I have several Apps with updates indicated. When I select App Store, it goes to the updates but when I try to update, I get "Cannot connect with iTunes Store." But otherwise I can get to the iTunes Store itself. Where does "Report problem" appear? Not on my Touch (which is updated).

Try it from the computer that you sync with, then sync the updated apps over to the iPod.

Getting a weird message when updating apps

I am getting the following message when I am try to update my wife's iPhone 4 (ATT) apps from the phone itself:
"This discounter price is only available to customers who own a previous version of this item. T purchase this item at full price, click Buy."
Any ideas?

You'll get that message if you have a different iTunes account synced to your phone from the one used to originally purchase these apps. On your phone: Settings>Store...what Apple ID is shown? Now, go to your iTunes library, right-click on one of the apps involved, what account does it show was used to originally obtain that app? Do the accounts match?

"Cannot connect to the iTunes Store" when updating apps

This error confounds me ... in iTunes, I check for app updates. The update list populates. Usually asks me for my password first but updates. Then when I click to download all updates, I get this message
"You have already purchased this item. You have already purchased this item but it has not been downloaded. To download it, select Check for Available Downloads from the Store menu" Done that no luck. Sometimes I can update the apps by checking for updates on my iPhone or iPad and they update, then disappear from the update list when I sync. But for apps I purchased but are currently not installed on a device, no luck.

Just posted this reply to a similar question here. Hope it helps:
What worked for me was unplugging my router and then plugging it back in after a few seconds. It was one of the recommendations listed in the Apple troubleshooting forum:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
I've had my iPhone 4 for almost a year and just today I started getting that "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" message when I tried updating a few of my apps. I tried shutting off my phone, I verified that I had the latest iOS, and I toggled the on/off button in my wireless settings on the phone, but none of that worked. I didn't want to reset my phone or sync it to iTunes so I googled it and came across the link above. I didn't think that my router was the problem because my internet was working just fine on my iPhone and the signal strength was good. But as soon as I unplugged my router and plugged it back in, I tried updating my apps again and sure enough, as soon as I entered my password, the apps began updating immediately. Really weird. Maybe this will work for some of you.
Another issue I've had is when I'm somewhere that doesn't have WiFi, it won't allow me to update or download apps that are over a certain size. Sometimes it'll give me the message that I need to connect to WiFi because the app is over certain MBs in size, and sometimes it won't say anything at all and it just won't download. But as soon as I connect to WiFi, it will.

How do you change the iTunes ID when updating apps? 3 people use the same iPad with different iTune IDs.

When trying to update apps on iPad2, someone elses iTunes ID is already showing when it asks for a password. (all in the family)
How do I change to my iTunes ID? I checked settings & it is correct there.

Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID - tap on the ID to sign out of that one. Then tap Sign in to sign in with another ID.
If you have problems switching the ID's you may want to restart the iPad before you sign in with the new ID.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Doesn't it get confusing using 3 ID's on one iPad?

Re-Downloading Paid Apps for Free only works if using the SAME Apple ID that made the Original Purchase.

Problems with Live update not getting over 96 Kb when updating help pl

All apps are tied to the Apple id that was used to purchased and download. So when there is an update you will have to use that apple id and password.
