ITunes password fails for app updates

My itunes password works for new app downloads and on computer, but fails when I try to update all apps, have triple checked the password for all and it is the same, any ideas?

Hello,
I believe the reason for your problem is that the apps were originally bought by your husband(The app is registered with his account). He therefore needs to update them for you. Then if you sync your ipod you can get the most updated app. If it is a free app you could just download it using your own itunes account so you could update the app yourself.

    Should you be in the Canadian App Store? Is that your store? Of not - or of you need to see what store you are in.

    Tap your ID
    Tap View Apple ID
    Enter your password
    Go to country/region in the popup window to change the store

  • Cellular Data for iTunes Match but not for app updates

    In iOS7 we can now have App updates downloaded automatically. Great. But if I want to use cellular data to stream songs from my iTunes Match library in iCloud when I'm on the road, but don't want to waste cellular data on App updates how can I do this?  It appears that enabling cellular data for iTunes Match also requires using cellular data for any of the four auto download features as well in Settings>iTunes & App Store. Am I seeing this correctly and is there a way to fix this?  I don't want to use cellular data for app updates, just for iTunes Match streaming.  Any help would be great.

    This looks like the same problem I've come across. From what I have been told, they are not separate, ie if you enable use cellular data to stream songs from iTunes Match you also have to download updated apps if you have it set to automatically download them.
    I think this should definitely be separated.
    The other thing you could do it go to another streaming music provider and then turn cellular downloads off. That's what I'm looking at doing.

  • HT1311 Changed my apple ID for iTunes, but did not work for app updates.

    I followed the directions on my phone and successfully changed my apple ID for iTunes. But when I to update apps, the old ID still shows. How can I change my Apple ID so I can update my existing apps?

    Correct! The apps I had previously were downloaded using my husband's apple ID. We are now separated, and I would like to download updates under my OWN apple ID. I followed the instructions for changing my AppleID on my phone, and it works with iTunes downloads. Yet the old AppleID continues to show up for App updates/downloads. Can I change the apple ID for App updates? Or must I delete all the apps on my phone that were downloaded under HIS apple ID and then redownload them under my own ID?

    Thanks. I just figured it out. Siri was not enabled. As soon as Siri was back on, the mike reappeared. But thanks for your help.

    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.

  • How do I change my apple ID for apps update?

    My apple ID for apps update differs from my usual apple ID. How do I match them so that I can update the apps (refuses my password)

    I am using the apple ID that I want but my iphone asks me for the old apple ID's password to update the apps and I don't know what to enter since what I enter, prompts a message that says that my password is less than a year old and I need a new one. I don't want the iphone ID but the iTune ID instead

  • Apple ID for app updates does not match new Apple ID cannot get updates

    Can someone tell me how to get the Apple ID for app updates to match new changed Apple ID?
    I can get new apps with new ID but not updates....old ID shows up and will not accept password.

    Your advice is to change my Apple ID again?
    No I gave you a link to try to get a new password to work with the old Apple ID.
    And are you saying that I will not be able to access any updates for apps that were acquired under the original Apple ID and password?
    I am saying that the only way to update apps acquired with the old Apple ID is with the old Apple ID. You cannot update them with a new Apple ID.

  • How can I tell itunes to install iPhone App updates automatically?

    ITunes 12 can download app updates. Right now I have to connect my iPhone, go the installed apps and click on (for each updated app) "update" to change it to "will update" and then click "sync". How can I tell iTunes to automatically update any updated app currently on the iPhone?

    I know they need to be converted, but the problem is, 2000 of the 5000 have already been converted. now it's trying to convert them again. but there is no reason for that. i want to know how to convert the other files that weren't converted yet, without having to re-convert the ones that were already done.
    I would move the ones that were done to a separate folder, but I don't know exactly what ones were done. In iTunes, they are the first 2000 or so in the list, but on my hard drive they are not in the same order.
    Does anyone else know if there's a way to do this?

  • Can I use my iTunes password to buy apps with another person's iPad ?

    Can I use my iTunes password to buy apps with another person's iPad ?

    You can re-download apps (re-downloading) - but if you do you will then tie that device or computer to your iTunes account for 90 days (so it's best not to do so on somebody else's device) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

    Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own.  When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on.  No more stops.

  • How do I turn off password protection for apps and keep them from downloading on all my apple devices

    How do I turn off password protection for apps on my Iphone4 and keep them from loading on all other devices?

    What do you mean by "password protection for apps"?
    To keep apps from downloading on a device automatically, go to Settings> Store> and turn off the things you don't want downloaded automatically.

  • ITunes refuses to check for App updates! Any idea why?

    I'm having what seems to be a strange problem. I have iTunes 11.0.1, with apps I have downloaded on my machine. Regardless of an iPad, iPod or iPhone attached, clicking on the "Check for Updates" button will NOT work. At all. I get app update alerts on my devices when they are not connected, but never on my Mac, running 10.6.8.
    Does anyone have an explanation for this?
    And before you give simpleton answers, I don't have "Pregnancy tracker" in my apps, the computer is authorized for my AppleID, and it is irrelevant whether an iDevice is connected. The iTunes app simply refuses to check when I click the button.

    The "check for update" button isn't for your apps.  It's for your iOS version.
    If you want to update apps, select the "apps" entry in your library, and you'll see the "# updates available" button, if you have updates.

  • Password works for apps but not software update

    Can't update my I pad with the latest software update I keep getting incorrect password but i can update apps with it

    Hi, Jerryfromnewhill. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    There could be a couple reasons for this issue and I will do my best to help.  Check to make sure that Find My iPhone is disabled, once this is done process the update.  If the issue persist, this could be related to a restrictions passcode.  I have included two troubleshooting articles that explain these features and how to disable them.
