It's not letting me update apps.

When I first got my iPhone, I was using my dads iTunes account. Then I created my own account. But now I can't update apps that I got while on my dads account. I click to update it and it asks for his account password, not mine. How do I fix this?

Those applications legally belong to your dad, and are permanently tied to his Apple account. All you can do is sign in using his ID, or purchase your own copy under your own ID.

HT204266 Will not let me update apps

My iPad shows I need to update 6 apps, when I select it to update it says cannot connect to app store.. But I can get online to get new apps to download if I want.. But will not let me update???

Have you tried closing the app in the Task Bar?
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
2. Hold the App Store app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close the App Store
4. Re-launch and try again

Ok, I have changed the names of my iPads to each be different- but no matter what I do, the Apple ID comes up the old email address on the old iPad and will not let me update Apps, purchase , etc,

I have used your info to give my two iPads different names. My problem is that my old iPad still has the old email in the Apple ID pop up so it will not let me sign in. I checked my info in the manage my account page and there is my email as primary, which allows me to sign in for apps, etc on the newiPad air, but when I try to update or buy an App on the old iPad, the old email is in the pop up and will not let me sign in.
How do I change the email in the old iPad to match the new iPad????
The Old email is on my manage my account page as a verified ALTERNATE email.

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Have you created a new account or updated your existing account ? All content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so if you have created a new account then all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account.
If you've updated your existing account then try tapping on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and log out of it and then log back in with the updated id so as to 'refresh' the account on it.

Will not let me update apps or add any and says account is disabled

I had to change id due to my old account kept coming up disabled and now it keeps switching between accounts and it wont let me update any apps or add any. I previously had more apps but deleted them due to not enough storage for an ios update and now cant update or add any apps

Creating a new account because the old one was disabled was the wrong thing to do. It means that all content purchased with the old account can never be updated, because content is tied forever to the account that was used to purchase or download it. The correct solution was to find out why the old account was disabled and correct the problem.

HT1296 My email address has changed. I have successfully amended it on my computer in Apple iTunes but my iphone 4s and my iPad still show the old email address when requesting the password and will not let me update Apps. Please can anyone advise me what

My email provider has changed and I have a new one.
I amended this on my computer under my Apple iTunes account without any difficulty and it was authenticated. However, I still have the original email appearing on my iphone 4s and ipad2 and I cannot update that information. Neither can I use my usual password to update my Apps. Please can anyone assist me with simple instructions on how to change these important passwords? Thankyou in anticipation for reading and hopefully considering a solution.

Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately. I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old AppleID as they will not be recognised. Any suggestions for this please?

Will not let me update apps!?!

I can download apps no problem but when it comes to updating i get a window that pops up and says "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" It just started doing it a couple of weeks ago. I put the new update on today hoping it would help but no go.

It just started doing it a couple of weeks ago.
And in those couple of weeks have you attempted to contact iTunes Support to find out why your Apple ID has been disabled? If it's for security reasons, wouldn't you be worried that there may be some security issue involving your account, you might need to investigate?
Maybe someone has gained access to your account and been downloading apps etc. all courtesy of yourself...
Why would you leave it so long before trying to find out what's happened?

HT5622 When I try to update my apps in the App Store it says sign in required and will not let me update then

When I try to update my apps it says sign in required and will not let me update them

I suspect you have apps that need updating that were purchased from more than one account
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Yep, it does matter. You won't be able to update or get anything until this is fixed. Contact iTunes support to see what's wrong:

My iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this

my iphone 5 wont let me update apps keeps popping up with old apple id how do i fix this??

All apps downloaded/purchased are tied to the apple ID used to download/purchase them.
If you change your Apple ID and do not wish to use the old apple ID and password to update them, you have to delete them and redownload or buy them under the new apple ID.

I have 2 iPhones sharing an apple ID (mine and my partner). we have just created separate ID's now that family sharing is available. but the partner's ID wouldn't let her update apps purchased on my ID! Help Please

This is happening to me also but only with certain apps. The message I get with the apps that won't update is "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID. This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled".

I have an ipod 3g with version 4.2.1 but will not let me update that

I have an ipod 3g with version 4.2.1 but will not let me update that, I get a sign with the legend "This version of the iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version."
but when I want to download apps actualize asks me to ios 5

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
