My AppStore id is my apple id n password which is good when purchasing. But when I am updating from update option it ask for a password. The user id I see there is not mine, it's different. How do I change that to my apple Id? Please help me resolve this issue. I have tried resetting it but nothing... Either I'm doing something wrong or....

I believe the issue is with the Apple ID that was used to purchase the App. If you download an App that was purchased under a different Appple ID then all updates will also be linked to the original purchaser's Apple ID. Your Apple ID is the the same ID as your iTunes, iCloud, etc. Some folks use different ID for the different Apple sites. No need for that One ID for all Apple Sites, and if someone else buys an App using their ID and they(you) download that App onto your device and that App requires an update it will ask for the purchasers Apple ID. This happens a lot when folks sell their iPad or give it to someone else and leave some purchased(free) Apps on the iOS device. You cannot change the original ID the App was purchased under. A suggestion would be if someone else has an App that you like but do not want to pay for use their ID or in the future have them gift the App to you.

itunes accounts are not the same as icloud accounts. It's okay to use the same ID for the itunes account on different devices owned by different users. That way you share purchased items. But for icloud, each user should have their own account if they want their own data, otherwise data is shared among all users.

Just downloaded iBooks on my iPad and its not accepting my security answers how can I change that

Delete the data for the guest network on the iPhone, iPad, etc.
Log on to the "Guest" network
On the home screen, tap Settings, tap Wireless, tap on the name of your wireless network, tap Forget This Network.
Now log onto the network that you want to use, and the iPhone / iPad will connect to that network automatically in the future.

Two users share one Apple ID, on two phones. can they be separated without losing phone backups? IE creating a new ID for one of the users?

my in-laws share one apple id for two separate iPhones. They would like to create a new ID for one of the users but maintain his current backup. can this be done?

If you want to create a new account make sure you sign out of everything via the settings. (ICloud, iTunes, facetime, messages, etc) APPS: since the apps were downloaded with a different apple ID, you will always need to use the password for the apple ID that downloaded that particular APP when it needs to be updated. Unless it is free, you can simply delete it and download it under the new apple ID. As for the music, you can keep it on the IOS device, but if it's accidentally deleted, you'd have to sign back into the original account and download from the cloud. (But, you risk getting the 90 day lockout. )

Janieburmy,
You can always deauthorize all your machines from your store account page — just log in and view your account settings and there's a button to deauth all your machines. Which just means for the other machines, it will ask you for your store ID / password the next time you play a purchased song.
So, let's try the filter experiment.
On the start menu, click on "run". in the space it provides enter "regedit" without the quotes. This will open the registry editor.
Find the heading HKEYLOCALMACHINE. Click on it.
Find the heading SYSTEM inside it. Click on it.
Find the heading CurrentControlSet. Click
Find the heading Control. Click
Find the heading Class. Click
Find the heading that begins {4D36E965- Click
Go up to the Registry menu and select "Export Registry File... command. Make sure the "Selected Branch" radio button is checked and save that off somewhere that you can find it.
Delete the key named LowerFilter.
Select the key named UpperFilter, right click, select "modify". Then edit the text in the dialog to just say "GEARAspiWDM" followed by hitting the return key, the return after the word is important.
Then reboot, and see what iTunes does.
To get the system back to its previous state. Run Regedit again and use the Registry menu -> Import Registry File... command and select the file that you saved off in the first section.
I'm particularly interested in getting rid of the "AFS2K" driver in the chain — that's a old driver from a company that hasn't existed in years.
To answer your last question, why am I doing this?... I'm paying off a karmic debt. And someday we'll start that Tequila for Toonz paypal account and then I'll be set.

I used to have a duplicate apple id which I thought was gone but is now blocking me from updating apps, How do I get rid of it since I no longer have a password for it?

I used to have duplicate apple ids and I thought they got merged into one. a few weeks ago the old one showed up in my Apps screen on my new iphone5 and is keeping me from updating all my apps and adding new ones. I can't reset the password for it because it doesn't exist anymore. Resetting my current apple ID has no effect on this old Apple ID and it continues to block my APPs application. Anybody out there have a solution? I have reset my phone more times than I can count to no avail.

App updates will always prompt with the Apple ID used to puchase those apps. You also CANNOT merge Apple IDs. What you can do:
1) Delete those apps purchased w/ your previous Apple ID asking to be updated and purchase/download it with your current Apple ID.
2) Contact Apple support to help you reset the password of your previous Apple ID then rename it with another email address of yours (active and shouldn't be another Apple ID) so you'll be able to do future app updates.
3) Leave those apps not updated and just continue w/ your current Apple ID for your purchases.

So my friend recently got an iphone. his texts come in as an imessage. mine send as texts. how do i change that so i am sending an imessage?

how do i change his contact so we are both sending and receiving iMessages? he previously did not have an iphone, so what do i need to change in his contact so we are both sensing imessages? and i have already tried changing his number from a 'mobile' to an 'iphone' on his contact.

When your phone receives a message from your friend and shows iMessage, the conversation should change to iMessage unless your friend's iPhone suddenly becomes unavalable which can happen if they are traveling or something similar. If I understand your information correctly, your phone shows iMessage when you receive a message from your friend, but then switches back to Text (green) when you send a message on the same conversation thread. Your friend's iPhone should certainly mirror what your phone shows as a message will only be sent as iMessage or SMS/MMS, but not both. If this is the case, I would first try power cycling both devices and toggling iMessage off then back on in Settings > Message. I would then recommend deleting the conversation on both devices and start a new conversation and see what happens. I hope this helps, if not, post a reply.

HT2736 My friend gifted me an app. I've entered my Apple I.D. password about 20 times and it won't download my app. It jut keeps asking for my password. I've restarted my iPod twice. Help please?

How can I claim my app when I can't get past entering my password?

Hello RmcGarrett,
If you are having issues with the Apple ID accepting the password, try resetting the password.

Trying to get into the app store and it asks for my password. The problem is that it is showing an Apple ID I don't use ghosted in. I can't figure out how to use my correct ID.

Trying to get into the App Store to update some apss. It asks for my password but the problem is that it is showing ghosted an Apple ID I don't use. Can't figure out how to fix it.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test.

MPlayerX isn't itself the problem; it was downloaded from a source that packaged adware with it. Click here and follow the instructions, or if desired, run Adware Medic.

I'm afraid that you may be confusing two different 'passwords' - there's your Apple ID (the user name and password that you used to get into these forums) and then there's your computer user name and password - usually two seperate user names and passwords.
If you want to change your password for your user account on your computer, go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane. Then you can select your user name and change your password there. Changing a user name is a bit complex and I don't think you want to try that!

I have a apple ID and a cloud id both different how do I change them

i have a apple ID and a cloud id both different how do I change them to be the same

As you may know, they don't have to be the same on your device. Also, you can't merge IDs. If you wanted to change iCloud IDs, you would have to create a new iCloud account using the other ID, then migrate your iCloud data to the new account. You would not, however, be able to move your existing iCloud email account to the new account.
Alternatively, if you wanted to use the iCloud ID for the other services, you could do that too. However, any existing purchases from the iTunes & App Store would still be tied to the existing ID. Furthermore, if you have already downloaded previous purchases or enabled automatic downloads with the existing iTunes ID, there is a 90 day way period before you can download previous purchases with the new ID.
I can give you the specific steps to do either one if you still want to abandon of the IDs and start using the other one for everything.

I have updated from Snow Leopard to Lion with Safari Version 5.0.5. Now I can not update to Safari 5.1. There is no update in the Software Updater, and on the apple-download page, I only found a Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard. When executing it, there is an error message, that it is for 10.6 only.
It seems that I should have first updated Safari, and then only to Lion, which I didn't. Any idea how I can fix this now without having to rollback to Snow Leopard, update Safari and then go back to Lion?

Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc9005d/n/Safari.pkg.zip
The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link, it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.
