Keep getting prompted for different iTunes accounts

When attempting to update the apps on my 4S, iTunes alternately asks me for the password for two different iTunes accounts: the original one I created for my boyfriend's iPod, then the one I set up for use with my iPhone. How can I keep it from doing this?
Now, I will admit, I have no idea how the phone was set up at the Apple store. I was getting irritable standing in line and dealing with AT&T so my boyfriend finished the purchasing and set up of the phone with the associate. I have reason to believe that the original set up was with his Apple ID, but I thought I seperated our accounts and changed everything (including creating my own Apple ID/iTunes account). I can always download apps under the iTunes account I created. But, when I use the App Store app to update my apps, sometimes I prompted to enter the password for my boyfriend's iTunes account andother times I have to enter the password for mine.
Wassup with that?

You have aps from both your accounts on the iPhone.
Delete the apps purchased on your boyfriends account from your iPhone.

  • Help: New owner of my iPhone getting prompted for my iTunes account.

    My wife is now using my old computer and iPhone 3g.
    1. In iTunes on the PC, she is logged in.
    2. iTunes says she has one app to upgrade.
    3. Clicking upgrade, iTunes then shows her account name and says there are no apps to upgrade.
    4. Go back to iTunes home page and it says she has one app to upgrade.
    5. My account is actually the account with 1 app to upgrade.
    1. On the iPhone, under settings she is listed as the current account.
    2. Try to buy an app from the app store and she gets prompted for my App store account.
    Has anyone seen this before? I'm at a loss as to how the two accounts are intermingled like this. Everywhere I look she is listed as the active account. But as soon as an upgrade or purchase is attempted it goes back to my account.
    Thank you in advance,
    Gary

    You can do this on your iPad or iPhone - please see Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support (which is written from the point of view of the new owner).

  • Family sharing - kids get prompt for their iTunes account password for each purchase they make

    so I have Family Sharing setup for my wife and kids.
    My kids all have their own iCloud setup and the App/iTunes store is also logged in as themselves. (They don't have any CC info entered.)
    My problem here is that when my 5 year old wants to download/purchase anything she gets a prompt for her AppleID password.. why is that when I'm the one who has to approve all purchases/download before anyways? This system doesn't seem to be "that" kid friendly when they have to enter a complex password every time they want to download/purchase anything.
    Am I missing something? Is there a setting somewhere to disable or save password prompts for the App/iTunes store?

    Have a look here...

  • I keep getting updates for my itunes for 11.0.2 but it errors out.

    I keep getting updates for my itunes for 11.0.2 but it errors out every time.  Can you help.

    You don't have to update to iOS 6.0.1. A few iOS 6 users have reported problems, but most have not. However, for my iPad 2 I'm waiting until iOS 6.1 is released. iOS 6 doesn't add that much for the iPad 2, and it subtracts YouTube and Google Maps apps.

  • Why do I keep getting emails saying my iTunes account will be disable in 48 hours if I do not validate my account?  or that I have to verify the email associated with my iTune acccount?

    why do I keep getting emails saying my iTunes account will be disable in 48 hours if I do not validate my account?  or that I have to verify the email associated with my iTune acccount?

    Because someone's trying to mislead you into giving them your iTunes Store login information. Forward all such emails to [email protected] and then delete them.
    If there's an actual problem with your iTunes Store account, you'll be told at the time you try to purchase or download something.

  • Why is my iPod touch repeatedly asking for different iTunes account passwords?

    Does anyone know why my iPod Touch keeps asking for 5 different iTunes account passwords? Also, in the iTunes app it says I have 651 songs preparing to download, and I didnt tell it to download them. Does anyone know why this keeps happening? It only began after I reset my iPod.

    I have this problem too. I'm trying to restore an iPod and it asks me for account numbers. Is there Anyway to get around it? Cause it does not seem fair if I can have and listen to it on my iTunes but not my iPod. The one account is from a girl who litteraly went mentally insane, I'm not going to be asking for her password EvER. And the other is An ex friend and I don't even know who the third account is! This is really not fair and sooooo annoying. It won't put on alll my other music without these passwords. There has to be a fix for this. I can't even use my iPod and get music on it!

  • Keep getting prompt for serial number on Trial Acrobat XI Pro

    The other day I purchased the upgrade to Acrobat XI Pro for US $199. After downloading and installing, the activation failed because my Acrobat Pro 9 serial number turned out to be Beta, and therefore not eligible for the upgrade.
    So I uninstalled XI Pro, ran Adobe Uninstaller Tool, rebooted, then downloaded/installed Acrobat XI Pro Trial. But when I try to run Trial version, it keeps prompting me with the same Serial Number Upgrade dialog box that I got with the upgrade that didn't accept my Pro 9 serial number because it was Beta.
    How do I prevent XI Pro Trial from prompting for Upgrade Serial Number so I can use Trial before buying? I have never been able to run the Trial version, and am getting desperate because I need to try that before I purchase.
              Thanks in advance!!         ~Carol

    The prompt I receive is "left over" from the XI Pro UPGRADE version. There's a dropdown box where you choose the version you're upgrading from (Win Pro 9), then add the serial number, which is either approved or declined - in my case, declined because my Pro 9 was a Beta version (which I didn't know).
    It's that Upgrade version dialog that keeps popping up when I try to get into the Trial version, forcing me to choose from the same list of versions as I did when trying to get into the Upgrade version.
    If that dialog box left over from the Upgrade installation pops up with the Trial install, how do I know it won't also pop up if/when I purchase the Full version? I really want to get this all cleared up and working correctly (i.e., actually using the Trial version) before risking more trouble by introducing another element. No amount of Windows uninstalling plus Adobe Uninstaller Tool for all Acrobat products (plus, of course, rebooting) has overcome this.
    And, just to be clear: I've never been able to "activate" the Trial version of Pro XI, so it's not like it's looking at this as a second install of Trial.
    Meanwhile, I've again uninstalled all versions of Acrobat and reinstalled my Pro 9 to continue working on a project. But I know if I reinstall XI Pro Trial, that same dialog box from the Upgrade (forcing me to choose a version + serial number I'm upgrading from) will pop up, as I've been through that before.
    The whole thing could have been avoided if only Adobe had forced me to enter the serial number for my Pro 9 BEFORE paying for, downloading and installing the XI Pro Upgrade.
    Thanks for bearing with me on this. The one bright spot is that my refund for the Upgrade is being processed.          ~Carol

    Just upgraded to iPhone 5 - now when i am asked to upgrade and App it askes me alternatley for my old mobile me acconut details and then the new iCloud user name and password - how do i change deatils to just one login?

    You cannot merge apple id's. remember that before creating any new ones in the future.
    You have two choices. Live with it, or repurchase the apps under the id you intend to keep using.

  • Trying to update apps on iPhone, ask for different iTunes account password

    I've been using the same appleid since day one. I have a icloud email as back up, but never changed account info except address.  When attempting to update apps on my iPhone, I click on UPDATE button. depending on the app, I will be ask to signin to iTunes Store using my wife's appleid.
    Why? This is my iPhone.  We are on the same AT&T account.  We are at the same address.
    But there is no reason for her info to be on my phone.

    1.  Therefore, I would expect to select from one of 287 million other users who downloaded "at the time they were downloaded from the iTunes Store, whether the downloading was done on the same device or not."
    2.  Release of iTunes user ID is not a security issue?  Release of any info is considered a security issue by most individuals and corporations.
    3.  My iphone, my iTunes Id is used when making purchase.  I'm not confused.
    4.  Its called Phishing
    5.  Been there, done that.  Next idea, short of complete "Reset"?

  • HT201089 I don't want my 5 year old child to get prompted for her iTunes password when she clicks on install or buy.

    II'd like her to get a prompt to Ask Permission only. Most children can't remember complex passwords. Kids don't have any CC info so I don't see the need for a password prompt every time. It should be an option at least, since I'm sure some young kids will press install/buy on everything and spam the parents with requests!

    This is not a feature request site. Use Apple Feedback instead.

  • TS3899 Do you keep getting prompted for your Apple ID password?

    When I fill it in corredtly, it tells me that it is incorrect. When I fill in my "security questions" it tells me these are incorrect. I change my password. I try to change my security questions. It tells me these are incorrect and then prompts me to change my password (again) and so on ad infinitum. Any ideas how to get out of this cycle other than smash my appliances?

    Call Apple Care and ask to speak to someone in account security.

  • TS1389 What if I keep getting prompted to authorize my computer (only for 3 songs), but my computer is already authorized?

    I purchased a whole CD from iTunes and can play all but 3 songs.  I keep getting prompted to authorize my account to play these 3 songs.  But when I enter my apple ID and password, I get a message that says my computer is already authorized.  It keeps cycling around and won't let me play the 3 songs. Anyone else ever have this problem or find an answer?

    As Niel says...
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
    You may also find it helpful while downloading to select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
