My app store shows wrong id and it is greyed out so I cannot change it to install updates

I am trying to install updates from the App store.
However, when I try to sign in, the dialogue box shows an old and wrong email address as my apple id.
Since the email is greyed out, I cannot change it to the correct current one.
I have checked that I am at the right location etc, restarted several times but no success.
Please advise.
Thanks

Do you recognize the wrong ID, or is it unknown to you?

    I'm not exactly sure what you are seeing and what is happening, but try closing the App Store app, and then reset the iPad. See if that takes you out of that screen and allows you to navigate freely again.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the App Store app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • App store showing wrong apple id when trying to update but correct id in settings

    App store is showing the wrong apple id when trying to do an update but correct id in settings. How do I fix?

    I had the same problem. After syncing my phone, my husband's ID was popping up for app updates. Apparently they were downloaded through his account to begin with, so deleting them and redownloading fixed my problem.

  • Mac App Store Shows Wrong Firmware Update

    My Mac App Store on my Macbook Air shows an update for the following firmware:
    MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 2.9
    Obviously that shouldn't be there since I'm on a MacBook Air. The real issue other than that showing up in the list is that checking for updates times out on the server, sometimes with the timeout 1001 error, and I'm not able to get updates for any other apps, including iTunes.
    Does anyone know how to reset the app store so that it can figure out what kind of laptop I'm using? I tried looking for the com.apple.appstore... file that I saw in the forum somewhere but there was no such file under /Library/Preferences to remove.
    I did manually download that MacBook Pro 2.9 update and ran it to see if that would clear it, but it didn't. (And it wouldn't install, obviously, because it doesn't work on my system.)
    I did download iTunes 11 and installed it outside the App Store, which worked, and I also updated my MacBook firmware to the latest. And finally, I put on the 10.8.2 supplemental package manually, but none of this has fixed the app store.
    Anyone know what to do?

    Fixed my own problem after some searching. I deleted the software update file with this command:
    sudo find / -type f -name com.apple.SoftwareUpdate\* -exec rm -f {} \;
    Then after that it all worked fine, including removal of the MacBook Pro firmware update.

  • App Store shows wrong number of updates

    Every time I open the App Store on my iPhone 6 it shows 20 updates available. I touch the "updates" button, and all the updates disappear. Next time I come back it will do the same. Updated to 8.0.2 but no joy.  What's up with this?

    Turned out that the problem was that my old iPhone 4 was still registered with the same iTunes account. Once I went to appleid.apple.com and deauthorized the 4, I started to get the correct number of updates in the iPhone 6 App Store.

  • App store showing wrong apple ID

    So, when I try to "update all" in my App store, it shows Apple ID & asks for password, as usual. The problem is, the Apple ID that is showing, is wrong. When I go under settings to "view Apple ID", it is correct. Any advice on how to correct this? Uugh...

    There is nothing to Fix... They are Not your Apps... Get them using Your Apple ID if you want them.

  • I want to sign into the app store as another ID, but it is greyed out.

    Hey everyone,
    I want to update my apps but I am having an issue.
    When I click "update", this pops up
    But that is not the apple ID I am signed into the app store as, nor the account I want to use to update things.
    Why is it greyed out -- uneditable -- and how can I change that?
    Thanks!

    OK so I was having this issue too but for some reason it was happening on Evernote. The user email that was populating the Apple ID field was for a previous user on the computer that, as far as I know, doesn't use Evernote at all. It only happened recently and as far as I knew all his user information was removed from this machine once we got a new one in the office?
    Uninstalling and reinstalling worked but this behaviour seems very odd.

  • When Firefox starts options, 'show my windows and tabs' is greyed out??

    Tools, options, general - when firefox starts
    I wish to pick ' show my windows and tabs from last time' but this is greyed out??

    It sounds like you may have some other settings changed that prevent Firefox from restoring your tabs and windows. Here's what to check:
    #At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP) and then click Options
    #Select the Privacy panel and make sure Firefox will: is set to either Remember history or Use custom settings for history.
    #*If Firefox will: is set to Use custom settings for history then make sure that Permanent Private Browsing mode is not selected.
    #*If Firefox will: is set to Use custom settings for history and Clear history when Firefox closes is selected, then click the Settings button and make sure that Browsing History is not selected.
    #Click OK to close the Options window

  • Mail wont show message body and Reply is greyed out

    I've never seen an issue like this. When I double-click on any message in my Mail list, I get a new window all grey, with a strange title like "- -- Inbox". I also can't click on any message in the list and reply to it, as all the reply-tio buttons are greyed out.
    Help!

    How are you adding the account, in System Preferences>iCloud, or some other way.

  • When I attempt to use software Update, and am then prompted for my Apple ID and password, my apple ID is not complete and it is 'grayed out' so I cannot change it.

    When I attempt to use Software Update, then go to 'Update All', I am then prompted to enter the password for my Apple ID, however my Apple ID does not come up as complete, and it is 'grayed out' and I cannot change it, therefore it is impossible for me to update my software.  How can I change the Apple ID to the correct ID?

    You need to delete the application and then download it from the desired Apple ID.

  • I installed Facebook from the app store on my iPad and it kicks me out

    I have installed Facebook on my iPad and when I scroll down the page to look at posting it
    KIcks me out or if I share a photo it kicks me out
    Can anyone help

    Hello sandyfromcroydon,
    It seems you are unable to post photos using the Facebook app on your iPad. Have you checked your photo privacy settings at any point? Take a look at the following article which explains the privacy controls, and where you can find them:
    Understanding privacy and Location Services on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iOS 8 - Apple Support
    Privacy controls in iOS 8
    iOS 8 gives you control over which apps have access to information stored on your iOS device. For example, you can allow a social-networking app to use your camera, allowing you to take and upload pictures. You can also grant access to your contacts, so a messaging app can find any friends that are already using the same app.
    You can modify privacy settings at Settings > Privacy. You can select a type of data from this list to see which apps have asked for permission to use that data. An app won't appear on the list until it asks permission to use your data. You can add or remove permission from any app that has asked for access to data. An app can use your data only if you have given it your permission.
    If you allow third-party apps or websites to use your data or your current location, you're subject to their terms, privacy policies, and practices. You should review the terms, privacy policies, and practices of the apps and websites to understand how they use your location and other information. Information Apple collects will be treated in accordance with Apple's Privacy Policy.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

    The upgrade I'm interested is for OS X  v.10.8.5...
    ...The App Store page shows 2 different upgrades:   
    Mountain Lion  (10.8.5)  Software Upgrade,  and
    Yosemite FREE upgrade
    If the App Store is showing 10.8.5 as an update, what do you currently have installed? The final update to Mountain Lion was 10.8.5, and since the basic OS installation of Mountain Lion is no longer offered in the App Store, that would suggest you're currently at an earlier version of Mountain Lion - 10.8.x where x=less than 5. If that's the case, I'd suggest getting the 10.8.5 update. There is also a Supplemental Update for 10.8.5 and that may be what the App Store is offering.

    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?
