Only when updating apps, my user ID is wrong  for iphone 4   How do I change it?

ONLY when updating apps on my iphone 4 is the user ID incorrect; all other areas list the correct user ID.  I have tried several things, but can't get it to let me change the user ID.  Help!

You must have purchased these apps under another ID. The only resolution, if you don't know the password to that ID, is to delete and re-download/purchase the apps. They are forever tied to the original ID and cannot be transferred.

  • 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

    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.

  • How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

    How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

    Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
    Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
    You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
    Hope that helps...
    If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.

  • I purchased a used macbook and the other persons apple id information is still on this for example apple updates it wont allow me to update apps unless i am logged in with his email. how do i change that

    i got a used macbook and the other persons apple id is still connected to the macbook. for example i cant update apps unless i have his passwod but i dont wanna pay for apps such as iphoto and more. is there anything i can do? this is a macbook 13 inch late 2008 model

    You're going to have to purchase those apps for yourself. The seller shouldn't have left anything he had purchased on the computer when he sold it to you.

  • HT1212 I did the 10s7 update and now I recieve all my text back after I send them and My wifes text she recieves goes to my phone.When updating it said my phone was now using her appleid how can we change that

    I did an update to the 1os7 and now I recieve my wifes text that she reiceves and the text I send out comes right back to me as the recipent..How do I fix this.When updating it said I was using my wifes apple ID

    Thanks too all the people who responded. . . . (noone)
    Got it sorted though. Seems that Apple has issues with multiple apple id's.
    Seems i had to somehow remember and use the original id i had when i first bought my 1st iPhone. . . .
    Even after that it was extremely hard to get my apps back on my PC.
    If anyone else has the same problem. . . .email Apple. Cya.

  • I am trying to update Apps and it is showing an old email address how can I change to my new email address?

    I am trying to update my apps and I need to change it to my new email how do I do that?

    - 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 want to up date my apps but its got the wrong email on it how do I change it

    I want to do my up dates on my I phone but got my partners email on it how do I change it

    Your question is unclear...
    Do you purchase these Apps using your Apple ID or are they your partners Apps...
    It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

  • For iPhone 4s, how do I change the sound when I get a new email?

    I have attempted to change the alert for new emails in Settings, under Sounds and Vibration Patterns, New Mail.   When I choose a new alert sound, it selects it and displays it next to New Mail.   However when I receive a new email, the old sound (Tri tone) plays though it is not selected.   Suggestions?

    Go into Notifications, Mail, check each of your mail accounts and see what sound is set there. You can set an individual sound for each account. While they should have picked up the default in Sounds, it is possible you need to change it in each of your accounts.
    See if this helps.

  • My ipad2 says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when updating apps

    My iPad2 says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when updating apps.  Connects properly when buying apps or music - only problem is when updating.   I have tried all the suggestions that I have found:  soft reset, ensuring that restrictions, changing my apple account password, turning on automatic downloads.
    Any ideas?  Thanks much.

    Same here. I have an iPad2, IOS5 WiFi and the iPad can not connect to iTunes store from Videos and Itunes App.
    App Sore is OK, and Safari also where connection is ok.
    My computer, Windows 7/64 connects via iTunes utility ok.
    I upgraded to IOS5 the same day as I got the iPad2, and I am not sure if it worked before.
    Any solutions to this problem ?
    It looks like that many other users have similar problem.

  • I can't update apps. Tells me not available for this apple ID as it was bought by a different user or item refunded or cancelled?

    Unable to update apps.  Tells me not availabe for this Apple ID as it was bought by a different user or item was refunded or cancelled?

    Demo, thanks for the response.
    Unfortunately none of your suffestions work.
    The AppleID has only been set to one country.  Several purchases are not visibile when I look at the purchases made with the AppleID.
    I get exactly the same error regardless of where I try and download the update from (from within ITunes (10.9.2), from the upgrade pane or from the software description pane.
    @leinaday; yes a fix is most certainly required.
    Issue started 07-May-2014 despite successful upgrades of the apps in question in the past.

  • I switched phones with my wife.  I went into "Settings" and "Store" to change the applid to mine but the phone still has my wife's applid when updating apps.  How do I get my phone to default to my applid?

    I SWITCHED PHONES WITH MY WIFE.   I WENT INTO SETTINGS AND STORE TO CHANGE THE APPLID BUT IT STILL USES MY WIFE'S APPLID WHEN UPDATING APPS.   HOW DO I GET THE APP STORE TO DEFAULT TO MY APPLID?

    Any apps that are on the iPhone which were bought / downloaded via your wife's account are tied to her account - so only her account can download updates to those apps. If you remove all her apps and just put yours on then you should be ok.

  • How do i change what apple id i want to use when updating apps?

    When updating apps, it shows my boyfriends apple id (we share a plan and both just got 4S). Every thing else shows my apple id. I want to use my own accont to update apps. How do I get rid of his apple id on my phone?

    You cannot.
    Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.  You will always have to update them using the same account.

  • Itouch freezes when updating apps

    Why does my itouch freeze up when updating apps? How do I fix this?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings.iTunes and App store and sign out and sing back in
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
