My wife and I have separate email accounts and separate iTune accounts on my iMac. Having Apple ID issues. My wife's ID pops up when I try to update apps or purchase music

I have a 4s, my wife has a 4. I have an iMac and we both have our own email addresses and separate Apple IDs. Lately, whenever I try to update an app, my wife's Apple ID pops up and no matter what I try - new passwords, turning phone on&off, ect., nothing changes. I find this iCloud to be confusing and have not signed up for it, but it little popups keep referring to it. I want my iRelated stuff to be mine and hers to be hers. Help! Thank you

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, whether you are using this ID for app purchases or not. If you are seeing your wife's Apple ID when you update apps, you must have one or more apps on your phone that were purchased with her ID. The only way to stop the prompt for your older ID is to delete these apps from your phone and not transfer them back when you sync your phone with iTunes.

My Iphone has family emails that appear randomly when I try to update apps or generally have to log into my account. It comes up as my sister in laws address. She was once connected to our account when she got her phone at first. How can I remove?

My Iphone has family emails that appear randomly when I try to update apps or generally have to log into my account. It comes up as my sister in laws address. She was once connected to our account when she got her phone at first. How can I remove? There are only two other email address's associated with my account and hers was never one of them! I do have a cloud set up on my phone. I thought this issue had gone away when I canged my passwords, but I just registered a new phone yesterday and its happening again!
Can anyone help me?

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, whether you are currently using this ID for purchases or not. If you are being prompted for your sister-in-law's Apple ID when updating it means that there must be one or more apps on your phone that was purchased using her Apple ID. (When she synced with your computer it may have transferred this app to your library. It was subsequently synced to your phone.) The only way to stop the prompt for her ID is to delete these apps from your phone and your iTunes library and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

Apple appears to be having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Wait for them to fix it.

I have iTunes, latest version, open in Windows XP and get an error 45048 message when I try to update apps thru the store. How can I fix this? I have reinstalled iTunes twice but problem continues.

Try contacting iTunes via email to check if there is an issue with the account. go to apple.com/support/itunes
Click on iTunes Store account and billing and select inquiries. On the right side click on "email us".
Before doing that trying viewing your account information first. Open the iTunes on you mac, look at the menu and select store and select view my account. Try removing the card (this is only applicable if you don't have a pending charges with iTunes) and hit done. Sign out, quit iTunes and sign back in and try updating the apps again.

I have a known good apple id and password but when I try to update apps i am told incorrect password or id

I have a known good apple id and password, but when I try to update apps I am told incorrect apple id or password through the iTunes store

Probably because the Apps in question were originally downloaded using a different Apple-id.

My Apple ID was changed. Yet when I try to update apps I am asked to enter the password for the old IG which will not work and no matter what I do. When I attempt to update apps it still askes for the wrong ID data.

My Apple ID was changed. It works fine on my IPad mini, my MAc and in Itunes Store, Yet when I try to update apps on my IPAD 1 I am asked to enter a password for the old ID user name which appears in the pop up window. When It still askes for the wrong ID data. I have uodated it in settings, and I have logged ontht the account to verify that it still works properly and it does. I reboot the IPAD and then attempt to update apps again but it still asked for the Old ID password and still shows the old ID username. The dame thing refuses to recognize my new Apple ID data. This is making my older IPAD unuseable.

You cannot change your Apple ID. You can get a new one if you want, but all of your Apps and media are linked to yoru old Apple ID. And no, Apple won't transfer your old ID purchases to yoru new ID.

When I try to update apps on my iPad, it asks me for my mothers password and displays her apple ID. How do I change it to ask for my apple id and password??? I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id.

I am signed into the store and iCloud with my apple id. I am not signed into ITunes, the store on the ipad, or icloud under her name. WIERD???

There is no featured tab in my iTunes store. . . and everywhere it shows me signed in. I had downloaded an app for my mother on HER ipad, and that is the only app I have done for her. It shows up on my phone, and now I cannot update any of my apps. I uninstalled that app on my phone, but when I want to update ones I have installed on my phone with my appleid, she keeps showing up.

The Mrs. and I are receiving "The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time. Please try again later." message whenever we try to update apps or purchase new apps. This is on two separate iPhone4's running 4.3.3

I haven't updated the iOS this week because I'm still working on resolving a separate issue, syncing playlists back to iTunes from the iPhone after a Snow Leopard restore.
FWIW-- The Mac Store on my MacBook also returns a similar error message when I try to update pixelmator and evernote. I get "The iTunes Store is unable to process purchases at this time. Credit card processing is temporarily unavailable. You may continue to browse the store. Please try to make your purchase later."
After that error in the Mac Store, I immediately get the following error message: "We Could Not Complete Your Request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)"

Hi. I am a new apple user. I just switched and I find it really nice. I am having a hard time changing the apple id of my refurbished iPhone 3gs. I already have an apple id and when I try to update apps on my phone it keeps on asking old users password. .

Hi. I am having problems when I try to update my refurbished iphone to my macbook. It keeps on asking for old password of the previous owner. I created a new account here but it's all the same when i try to update. I need help. been trying to update since yesterday. will appreciate your replies.TIA

Hi.
I had a similar problem myself. This is what helped me.
I went to the App store app, scrolled to the bottom, logged out of the account, re logged in with my Apple ID. Then went back to app updates. Once I put in my ID password all was fine.

HT204053 I let my friend put his ipod on my itunes. I got a new iphone 5 and when i try to update apps,i put in my current apple id and then it asks for his apple id password, which i dont know and i want to get rid of his.

When i try to update my apps, it asks me to put in my password for apple id. I put in my password but then it asks for my friends password for his itunes, because i let him sync his ipod on my itunes. How do i remove his account off my itunes where i dont have to put in his password.

Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

I added apps by syncing with a Mac. It was under my husband's ACCT. When I tried to update apps on my iPad, it was his account. How do I change this? It only happens when I try to update apps

Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
If they were purchased from your husbands account, then they will have to update using that account.

Help! I no longer have the email address for my itunes account and cannot verify Apple ID

I am trying to log into my itunes account and it tells me I need to verify my account by logging into my email. My AppleID is an old email account that I can no longer access. I want to log in to itunes to update my email account on file, but when I try to log in it says I need to verify my account. I'm stuck. Does this mean I can no longer access the money I have on my itunes account since it doesn't let me sign in without verifying?
Frustrating!

i am having the same prob spent almost 2hours in apple store in kingston and they made me email apple support in the end who told me to sort it online when it didnt work in the first place i phoned up and was told they would email me back and still waiting for issue to be resolved i swear dell is bloody easier at least you can talk to someone v.unhappy especially the amount of money these products cost they should know better tut tut

I have had to create a new iTunes account. However, there are updates that were not performed while under the old account. So now when I try to update apps, it's asking for the login of the old account, which I do not have.

I have had to open a new account, however, there were App updates that did not get installed before I opened the new account. Therefore, when I try to do the updates, it's is asking for the sign-in and password for the old account, which I do not have this information.

All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.
Delete these apps and download them with the new Apple ID.

I have an old apple id that conflicts with my newer apple id, and when I try to update apps. sometimes the old apple id pops up and wants the password. I don't know password

How do I delete an old Apple ID without losing the itunes music and apps I downloaded with it? I want all my itunes music and apps. under my new Apple ID. How do you consolidate old and new itunes and apps on a new iphone?

I have the same problem and signing out in settings doesn't seem to work. Somewhere, the old id is "hard coded" in the ipad because I used it when I purchased the app, I guess. The only thing that has worked for me is to delete the app and get it again with my current id - great for the free ones, not so great for the ones I paid for.

On my ipad when i try to update apps my apple id now has a different email address which is not listed on my account?

on my ipad when i try update my apps my apple id email is changed from my icloud to my ymail. all though i have never used or registed with my ymail email i only have my icloud email listed in my account

Sounds like you may have originally been connected to the store, with your Ymail apple ID, and would need to change it back to this, in order to update.

My wife and I have separate email accounts and separate iTune accounts on my iMac. Having Apple ID issues. My wife's ID pops up when I try to update apps or purchase music
