ITunes & App Store in Mac show old e-mail when using "Tell a Friend"

Hi,
I have changed my e-mail address on my Apple Account a while ago. All seems to work and when i go to manage the account it shows my current e-mail.
But when i use "Tell a Friend" feature in the iTunes Store and in the App Sore in Mac is shows my old e-mail. Where can i update this please?
Thanks

Whilst browsing through the other questions...I found a solution that whilst seemingly unlikely...worked for me.

Quick summary:
Under parental controls, disable the app store option but enable the iTunes U option. Click okay. Wait for iTunes to load iTunes U. Once that's done, go back to parental controls and enable the app store option and voila! problem solved. Strange but true. =)

Itunes app store is not showing screen shots (windows 7)

Hi,
Over the last few weeks it seems the app store isn't showing screen shots when i click to see more info about the app. I've been looking at ipad apps, sometimes i get some screen shots but mostly i dont. I've read a thread about resetting the cache in preferences but this didn't work.
Its really harsh not being able to see screen shots before you purchase.
Any ideas!?
Thanks!!!!

Having the same issue as OP. iPad only apps don't show any screen shots in iTunes or on the Web, but i see them on iTunes Connect. Mac App Store applications are showing their screen shots just fine as are iPhone apps.
Does this have something to do with widescreen on iPad, retina display?? We used high quality screen shots for our applications, the best quality the developers guide mentions.
We double checked the Developers Reference Guide for specifications on screen shots and tried 3 of the suggested formats(JPEG, TIFF, PNG) with reso 1024x768 px but nothing has changed since thursday (june 23rd) last week.
0%       iPad applications show screen shots on the iTunes store for me as I write this.
100%   iPhone applications show screen shots.
100%   Mac App Store show screen shots...
Anyone have any more to add? suggestions?
I have already entered a bug report for this.
Here's a few things that have worked for others althought they have not worked for me. These are pulled from this community forum.

I tried doing
iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Reset cache
but that didn't work for me even with restarting iTunes afterward.
However, here's what did fix the problem. Launch
/Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences
Under the 'General' tab click both of the "Restore Defaults" buttons.
Changes take effect after re-launching iTunes.

iTunes uses the same Web Engine as Safari to display the store, so the Safari update could be the issue.
Try running Repair Permissions, it is in the Disk Utility software that is in your Utilities folder.

Itunes/app store reviews not showing up on iPhone 4

Is anybody else having trouble reading the reviews for the app store and itunes? I can see the number of starts and number of reviews, but when I try to read them my iPhone 4 doesn't show them. I am able to read some reviews, but for the most part it doesn't show them. I'm trying to find out if the problem is with my iPhone or the app store/itunes.

Same here. When try to read review it will kick me back to my phones home screen.

OS X Mavericks - iTunes/app store account not showing past purchases

Since upgrading to OS X Mavericks (the install crashed and corrupted my HD so had to do a clean install), the app store and itunes store past purchases are not showing, or in the case of the itunes store it shows that there are 331 purchases but the list is blank and there is no option to restore/download.

Hey there yvrbill,
It sounds like you are signed into your Apple ID in iTunes but when you try and download your previous purchases the list is empty.
I want to recommend signing out of the iTunes store, then restart your computer.
To sign in to or out of the iTunes Store:
In iTunes, choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).
From: Sign in or out of the iTunes Store

After restarting your computer try to download your previous purchases again.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities,
All the very best,
Sterling

HT201272 why is itunes app store still showing prices for previous purchases?

I have not had this problem until recently. prior to today, I could go into iTunes App Store and a show or movie I already own is available for download but now it shows the cost. I dare click on it for fear of being double billed. This is frustrating because iTunes just started allowing us to access our purchased content without connecting to the computer and downloading them as often as we wanted. Is this problem affecting others or just me?

I started having the same problem yesterday.
In fact, I just now downloaded a free app. With the app now on my PC, it still shows that it is "free" rather than "downloaded" on the iTunes app page. I moved the .jpa file out of the default folder, and refreshed the app page in iTunes. Similarly, it does not show a "download" option like it should. It makes re-downloading apps that I have paid for in the past difficult if there is not the "download" bar to indicate that I am entitled to the app.
It's probably related, but at one point last night I had a bunch of apps with available updates. I tried to go to the iTunes page on my PC to view the apps with updates. At that point I got a pop-up window stating that I did not have any updates available, and it has been zero ever since. I did not download the updates, nor did all of the apps disappear from the iTunes catalog.
I have an iPad 2 and recently got an iPod Touch. I want to re-download some non HD apps for the Touch that I ditched for HD versions on the iPad. I, too, do not want to be re-billed.

You need to sync the app to the iPod
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Is the app compatible with your model iPod and iOS?
Are any Restrictions set that would prevent installing the app on your iPod? Settings>General>Restrictions
Do any apps no sync to the iPod?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Have you successfully synced aps to this iPod from this iTunes library before?

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

App store doesn't show Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 as purchased and will resell it to me has anyone else noticed this?

The Apple app store doesn't show Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 as purchased and will resell it to me. I bought this computer (early 2011 macbook pro 17 in) new in oct 2011 it came with Lion installed has anyone else noticed this?

Barney,I did as you suggested and emailed app store support qutioning why the app store didn't recognize my OS LION software as purchased even though all of the iLife apps that came bundled with it are recognized as PURCHASED and here was the email response from robert@ the app store....< I understand that you are trying to re-install the OS X Lion as you had a Hard Drive crash but it is not showing as purchased from your Mac App Store purchase pane.
As the Mac OS X Lion was pre-installed to your computer , it will not be recognized as purchased in the Mac App Store, and because of that it is not available fro re-download for free. Also, computers that come preinstalled with Lion do not ship with the disk.
Dana, not worry as OS X Lion has a self recovery feature.

Mac App Store doesn't show OS X updates

Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion in July, the Mac App Store has stopped showing updates for OS X. It shows normal app updates like Evernote but it didn't notify me for the 10.8.1, the 10.8.2 and the recent Supplemental Update. This happens even after days that the updates are released. I discovered that there were updates available from news sites.
I contacted Apple Support but I was quite rudely shut up. The guy at the phone told me that "this is normal" and that Apple "is not obliged" to issue a notification for all the system updates. I told him that all my Mac-owners friends could download the updates from the App Store but he told me that "they were lying" to me. I was so aghast at his response that I didn't started laughing in his face as he probably deserved. I will find a way to get back to him via an official complaint to his superiors, that's for sure.
Can anyone help me with the Mac App Store issue, anyway? Currently I'm forced to download the updates manually from Apple's site.
Thanks in advance for the support!

It's possible you have a problem with your system. I've had this same issue with Lion. Eventually, I bit the bullet and did a scratch reinstallation which seemed to fix things. But there may have been less invasive solutions I just did not think of or find. So you might start with the following:
Boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
Download a utility such as Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner and use to clear out user, system, and font caches. Restart is immediately required.
Reinstall OS X.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
