Ok, I have changed the names of my iPads to each be different- but no matter what I do, the Apple ID comes up the old email address on the old iPad and will not let me update Apps, purchase , etc,

I have used your info to give my two iPads different names. My problem is that my old iPad still has the old email in the Apple ID pop up so it will not let me sign in. I checked my info in the manage my account page and there is my email as primary, which allows me to sign in for apps, etc on the newiPad air, but when I try to update or buy an App on the old iPad, the old email is in the pop up and will not let me sign in.
How do I change the email in the old iPad to match the new iPad????
The Old email is on my manage my account page as a verified ALTERNATE email.

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
Have you created a new account or updated your existing account ? All content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so if you have created a new account then all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account.
If you've updated your existing account then try tapping on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and log out of it and then log back in with the updated id so as to 'refresh' the account on it.

  • I changed my Appleid online yesterday because the old one was based on an email address that is no longer active. My phone still shows the old Appleid and will not let me access APP store etc. How can I get the phone to accept the new ID?

    I channged my Appleid at appleid.com and now the phone stills shows my old id and will not let apps that require id/password prompts work.

    Just scroll to the bottom of the screen in the store, log out and then login with the new ID.
    As long as you changed it from the manage account option at https://appleid.apple.com/ (ie. replaced the primary email address with a new one), then all your old purchases should be fine.

  • HT1296 My email address has changed. I have successfully amended it on my computer in Apple iTunes but my iphone 4s and my iPad still show the old email address when requesting the password and will not let me update Apps. Please can anyone advise me what

    My email provider has changed and I have a new one.
    I amended this on my computer under my Apple iTunes account without any difficulty and it was authenticated. However, I still have the original email appearing on my iphone 4s and ipad2 and I cannot update that information. Neither can I use my usual password to update my Apps.  Please can anyone assist me with simple instructions on how to change these important passwords?  Thankyou in anticipation for reading and hopefully considering a solution.

    Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately.  I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old  AppleID as they will not be recognised.  Any suggestions for this please?

  • HT5622 When I try to update my apps in the App Store it says sign in required and will not let me update then

    When I try to update my apps it says sign in required and will not let me update them

    I suspect you have apps that need updating that were purchased from more than one account
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • I have 2 iPhones sharing an apple ID (mine and my partner). we have just created separate ID's now that family sharing is available. but the partner's ID wouldn't let her update apps purchased on my ID! Help Please

    I have 2 iPhones sharing an apple ID (mine and my partner). we have just created separate ID's now that family sharing is available. but the partner's ID wouldn't let her update apps purchased on my ID! Help Please

    This is happening to me also but only with certain apps. The message I get with the apps that won't update is "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID. This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled".

  • My MacBook Pro has Mac OSX 10.5.8 and will not let me update any further. Why?

    I have a MacBook Pro that I purchased in 2009 (It doesn't have a SD card slot, but is an aluminum body). Right now it's using Mac OS X 10.5.8 and will not let me update any further, which means that I cannot install any new versions of iTunes or some other programs. How can I fix this?

    You can't upgrade beyond 10.5.8, that is the final step for Leopard.
    You can purchase Snow Leopard (10.6.x) from Apple (but you should have 2G of Ram installed, and sufficient hard drive space). Your Mac is fully capable of running Snow Leopard and will probably already meet the specs I mentioned.

  • HT1212 my iphone is frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter my passcode, I have held the home button and power button for up to 1 minute and plugged it up to itunes because its locked it wont work? i need help

    i have connected it to itunes like i was told to do and it wont do anything because its locked with a passcode and its frozen on the lock screen and will not let me enter myt passcode and after a while it just shuts off, it has been doing this for almost 48 hours. I was told to hold the home button and power button to shut it down and that I could then restart it and it would work... Nothing has helped, What can I try???

    Reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
    If that does not resolve, restore the device via iTunes on the computer.
    If all else fails, take the device to Apple (or whomever provides support in your country) for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • HT204266 Will not let me update apps

    My iPad shows I need to update 6 apps, when I select it to update it says cannot connect to app store.. But I can get online to get new apps to download if I want.. But will not let me update???

    Have you tried closing the app in the Task Bar?
    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
    2. Hold the App Store app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close the App Store
    4. Re-launch and try again

  • Will not let me update apps or add any and says account is disabled

    I had to change id due to my old account kept coming up disabled and now it keeps switching between accounts and it wont let me update any apps or add any. I previously had more apps but deleted them due to not enough storage for an ios update and now cant update or add any apps

    Creating a new account because the old one was disabled was the wrong thing to do. It means that all content purchased with the old account can never be updated, because content is tied forever to the account that was used to purchase or download it. The correct solution was to find out why the old account was disabled and correct the problem.

  • I changed my Apple ID that using an invalid email address to a new one and I am trying to update iCloud account on iPhone5 with iOS 7.1.2, and I am not able to delete iCloud account without the old password.

    I changed my Apple ID that using an invalid email address and I am trying to update iCloud account with my new Apple ID on iPhone 5 with iOS 7.1.2. I am not able to delete iCloud account without the old password. Is there a way to update the Apple ID of my iCloud account?

    Many people are having probalems with this right now.  The only solution I've seen that seems to consistently work is the one posted by Brackers28 here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23020591#23020591.  This only works if you still have access to your old email account.  If you don't, you'll have to have Apple help you reset the password for your old account so you can turn off Find My iPhone and sign into your account with your correct ID.

  • I have updated my Apple ID and password. My iPad however will not let me update the email. Why ?

    Having updated my Apple ID and password I find I am unable to update the iCloud and Apple ID on the iPad. Why is this not possible ?

    What happens when you try ? If you've updated the primary email address on your account then log out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version, and similarly for iCloud : Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and log back in with the updated version.

  • My iphone4/ ipad 1 will not let me update my apps after i changed my account to @me, My iphone4/ ipad 1 will not let me update my apps after i changed my account to @me

    I have an iphone 4 that I upgraded to ios5 and switched my user name to an @me.com user name. Now my phone doesn't let me update my apps, it says that my pass is incorrect, I've tried to reset my password and it's not going to my email, and the security question says that is incorrect! plz help

    Stop trying to put the same password in as the mobile me account and go into the Apps section of your library in itunes and right click an application, select get info and see what the email address is where it says account.
    Your apple id for the itunes store is likely a different address like a gmail or a hotmail.
    Look up the apple id by going to the find out link that is  on this webpage: http://appleid.apple.com

    You'll need to give us more precise information than just "not letting me" before anyone can offer suggestions. Post back with full details, including error messages if you're encountering any, and then someone here can probably provide advice.
    Regards.

  • Java hijacks the flash update page and will not let me update flash

    when I use the update page for flash, it quickly passes from that page to the update page for java.com. I am unable to update flash, or even visit the update checker page.

    First, please update Firefox [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
    Then visit http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=JZEFT to download and install Flash. Don't accept any other programs or applications the installer tries to bundle (McAfee, etc.)
