Iphone app store asks for old apple id when i try to update apps
I recently reset my apple id. However when I try to update apps in my iphone it asks for my old apple id info. When I enter this in it states that the info is incorrect and needs to be reset. However when I download new apps the app store asks for my recently updated apple id info. When I have tried to delete the apps that need to be updated and buy them again, I was charged for the app. As a result I cannot update any apps. How can I fix this?
You changed it wrong. You should have done it this way:

App upgrade asks for old Apple ID
Apple made me change my Apple I'd and I put that into my iPhone 5, but it still shows my old I'd when I try to upgrade my apps. Any ideas?
Apps you purchased either fora fee or for free are forever tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.
To update apps you will have to sign in using the Apple ID that you used when you first bought the app.
For free apps, you can delete the app on your phone. Then make sure you are signed in with your new Apple ID. Finally download the free apps again, using your new ID.
You can also do this for apps you paid for but you will have to pay for them again. -

TS5223 Iphone asks for old apple id when trying to erase iphone
Hi i need to erase my old phone as i have a new one. When i go to erase it, it asks for an old apple id which i havent used in years! I have been using a different id for years.
I do not know the password to this account any more and when i click 'forgot my
Password' it must send the reset option to an old email address which i do not have anymore. It does not let me choose an email address to send it to and im not recieving anything. Also the security question which asks me my date of birth doesnt work for me either.
Why!
Why cant it just be simple to erase my old phone. I have never even used this old account with this iphone.
It may have done this since i restored my
Iphone ready for the new phone?
Please help!Had apple support help me with this:
On your computer, go to appleid.apple.com, and sign in using your current apple ID.
Once signed in, change the primary email address to the one your phone is asking you for (ie. your old apple ID), enter the password you want to use for iCloud.
Go to your iPhone --> Settings --> iCloud. Now you can enter the password for the old apple ID. Delete the account.
Go back to your laptop, change the primary email address back to the current one. Now you'll be able to enter your current apple ID and password on your device -- should be good as new! -
Why is the Mac App Store loading the wrong Apple ID when I try to redownload my copy of Lion?
Pretext:
I purchased my MacBook Pro 17" Back in March of 2011 from MicroCenter in Madison Heights, MI. Later I purchase OS X Lion 10.7 from the Mac App Store on July 23rd, 2011 under my Account along with a couple of other programs. I know it is under my account because, I have redownloaded the OS X Lion Installer twice before (10.7.1 and 10.7.2), making my own bootable copies on USB drives as emergency copies.
Now my Apple ID has never changed, the password is still the same as when I set it up back when I signed up for my iTunes Music Store account, the only thing changed is my payment options (reissued debit cards, and a bank switch). The account has always been mine alone, never part of any family account or anything of the sort. Outside of that, nothing has ever been editted on my accounts.
Last month my father decides to finally update from his 2002 Power Mac G4 (QuickSilver) to a new MacBook Pro a month ago. I show him how to make a bootable USB stick so he can always have an immediate backup installer. Both him and I are on AT&T which likes to cap bandwidth so remote installs are an insane proposition. He makes his own bootable USB stick of 10.7.3., and in an effort to save bandwidth I borrow it and make a duplicate.
Now I did boot from the copy of the USB stick, but never installed, I just wanted to make sure it loaded just in case. Anyway, I quit of out the installer return to my usual start up disk (OCZ Vertex 3 120GB) and continue on. Eventually I download the 10.7.3 update through the System Update. All is well and fine. Couple weeks later, I decide to make another fully bootable USB stick, go to redownload from the App Store (new AT&T billing cycle) and now it is asking me for my father’s Apple ID and Password. It refuses to take my Apple ID and password and tells me there is an error and tells me to try again shortly.
So I turn on the Mac App Store Debug Menu, clear cookies, and reset the app. I try to redownload again, but his Apple ID is still on my machine. He has never used this machine, not once. How do I fix this?
Any help would be appreciated.http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact.html?form=account

My Apple ID was changed. It works fine on my IPad mini, my MAc and in Itunes Store, Yet when I try to update apps on my IPAD 1 I am asked to enter a password for the old ID user name which appears in the pop up window. When It still askes for the wrong ID data. I have uodated it in settings, and I have logged ontht the account to verify that it still works properly and it does. I reboot the IPAD and then attempt to update apps again but it still asked for the Old ID password and still shows the old ID username. The dame thing refuses to recognize my new Apple ID data. This is making my older IPAD unuseable.
You cannot change your Apple ID. You can get a new one if you want, but all of your Apps and media are linked to yoru old Apple ID. And no, Apple won't transfer your old ID purchases to yoru new ID.

When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID. How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password??? I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id. I am not signed into ITunes, the store on the ipad, or icloud under her name. WIERD???
There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.

Swapped acc. now apps ect. ask for old info.
Changed my acc and signed out of my old one but when i go to update apps or download apps ect. It shows my old acc and ask for my old password... please help :/
If you've logged in with your new account then you should be able to buy new content with it - does your new id show at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on it ? If not then tap on it and log out of it.
But only your old account will be able to redownload and/or download updates to its app, and make in-app purchases in those apps. If you can't remember the account id then do you have any of its downloads on your computer's iTunes library so that you can select one of them and do 'get-info' (control-I) to look up the id (it should show on the General tab) ? If not then you could try http://iforgot.apple.com -
trying to update apps in the app store. My old apple id comes up. I've already signed in and out off itunes and the app store several times with the current id. still everytime i try to update the apps the old id comes up
Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them originally. It will always ask you for your old ID if they were purchased using that ID. The only way to stop this would be to delete them from your phone and your iTunes library, then repurchase them using your current ID.

App store still requesting old Apple ID after Apple ID was changed - cannot update apps
A few months ago, my apple account was hacked. I had to change my Apple ID. That's fine, and all of the iTunes stuff is fine. The App store is a different problem. When I go to update my apps, it asks for the old Apple ID, which now is invalid. How can a convert the Apple ID associate with the App Store to my new Apple ID? I have way too many apps to start over, nor am I willing to purchase them again.
I would contact iTunes. Only they can take care of your pboem since apps are permentetly locked to the account that purchased them.

I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/
Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps. The App store asks for my password and then marks all the Apps as being updated. Often only one or none actually update. Usually I get a message saying "Unable to download application" and "<app> could not be downloaded at this time - Done or Retry".
It's not an iTunes login / password issue because sometimes one or two of the Apps will download and the others stall with the blank progress bar. The internet connection is working fine in all other respects.
Sometimes, many restarts later the downloads will complete. Is this a known bug? Is Apple working on it? Any fixes?My iPhone3GS running iOS5 has recently been reluctant to upgrade Apps.
