Purchasing related apps after i change qccount email

When I discontinued using a email address that I had been using as my Apple ID I mistakingly thought that I would need to change the address used for my Apple ID. I thought that was the address the Apple Store and iTunes would use to communicate with me. I have been able to get most of my applications swithed to the new ID but I have one group of related apps that will not recognize the new ID. When I try to purchase another related apps it tells me that I would have to purchase the original app through the current ID to be able to purchase additional apps in that related group.
Any ideas?

OK I think I have the answer
Work, in order to give me a functioning machine, installs Apple apps using its own Apple ID. It means they can write an image to my disk instead of painstakingly installing a box o' apps. makes perfect sense.
I then add my own preferred apps, and those I bought myself through the apple store using MY Apple ID.
Thus I can update "My" apps but can't update the apps installed by our IT department, because the system wants the appleID from the installer/disk image they were installed from.
Thus I can upgrade to Yosemite but not install the related apps like pages/Keynote, etc. since it asks for the IT department's Apple ID and not mine, regardless of the apple ID I have entered in the System prefs.
This happens with the following Apple apps::
Pages
Numbers
Keynote
iMovie
iPhoto
So: here's my solution.
After you have the entire system updated etc, and you have isolated the apps that won't update for this specific reason, delete one of those apps, install it from scratch from the apple store, wait for it to download and install, open it once to make sure it works, then move to the next one. Painstaking I know but it worked...

Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.

Are you adding or changing your credit card details on your iTunes account ? If you have then each time that you do so a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the card details are correct and valid and that it's registered to exactly the same name and address as on your iTunes account - it should disappear off your account within a few days or so.

After my company changed the e-mail address, I had to change my Apple-ID. How do I update my purchased Apps after the change?

The renamed Apple ID does not update all the Apps but comes up with the old AppleID, but that ID is not there anymore and neither the old or the new password is working
On the FAQ pages I just find a long list of Apps, stores tc. that I have to update, but no explanation on how to do that.
I do not want to buy all the apps again just because I had to change the e-mail address and because of that the AppleID.
It is ok to remove the free ones and load them again, but the paid one?
How is Apple handling such things?

OK, after reading other and similar threads too, I found a solution myself.
Thought to share it.
On my iPhone, after the change was made at the AppleID site, I had to logoff from the old AppleID and then to relogon with the new/changed one. After that I could update all apps again

Updating apps after a change in Apple ID

This question may well be addressed elsewhere, but it may help to have it here with a solution.
I recently changed the email of my Apple ID. The change caused several problems and one with App store.
Updating apps (e.g. Keynote) bought before the change, I found that the Apple ID proposed when I did so was the old one, which was, of course, no longer valid. It's greyed out in the window so you can't change it.
I began to think I wasn't going to be able to update at all. But then I found a post related to something else but which helped out here.
So the solution is to first trash the application and then click on "Buy" in the App store. You then get a window in which you can type the right Apple ID and connect to the store. You reclick "Buy" and because the app figures in the list you bought previously, the App store graciously lets you download the updated app for free.

I cannot see my apps after the change of my account's nationality.

My account was in US once. After I change it to another country, my downloaded apps cannot be shown in iCloud even if I download them again in the new country. It has been very inconvenient.
Can anyone help me? thanks a lot.

Thank you for the information, I feel guilty now since I have recently advised someone that isn't possible, however:
Judging by the wording you use, you did this in iTunes on a Mac/PC. Have you also changed your country on your iOS device settings.

Can not access my iCload, after I changed ID email?

I have an issue with the original email I used for an apple ID. I changed the ID main email, and I can not access my iCload account, or change the email ref on it.

To change the iCloud ID on your device you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.
When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Make sure that the exact billing address on your banking statement is the same as what is on your itunes store account.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646?viewlocale=en_US
Also, if you owe itunes store funds, it will give the error message as well. If you do owe, you have to provide an itunes store gift card to cover the balance before placing the CC back on file.

IOS 5 Update - Not possible to recover Purchased apps after having changed the country of origin

All
I am currently struggling to restore my apps that I have purchased on my iPhone 4. I can see my purchase history but here is the problem: The majority of the apps were purchased when my iTunes account was still linked to my German bank account/Region. I have changed the region and payment details when in relocated to the UK. The question is now how can I restore my apps made while my account was linked to my German details? I already tried to restore my payment information and region but no luck so far.
Can anybody assist me with this problem? Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

@shadow221, unfortunately that method only retured my previously backedup photos and nothing else. After attempting restoring it back to a few Backups with failed attempts, I just gave up.
Some users mentioned doing a complete restore to factory setting and do a backup but it just screwed with my ipod and no music back. So i just let it be. I reloaded my old tracks from iTunes, my Apps, unfortunately iTunes doesnt give me any option to reload any of my videos FML.
I did the above and wasted a good day and a half of my life reloading (on my pc) 300 songs, now I only have 1,200+ more to download to match my previous library contents. Thanks Apple.
PS: i called Apple a week before the iOS 5 release and an associate explained that it will NOT delete my library if I do the update---thanks much for the warning!!!

I continue to receive email alerts advising that my Apple ID was used to purchase an app. I changed my password but the alerts continue to come. Purchases are initiated from various different countries. My credit card has never been charged. How cano

ALerts advising purchases were mde using my Apple IDcontinue to come to my email. I changed my password but theycontinue to come.Hoes can I stop his.

It is possible that these emails are phishing attempts. Do NOT click any link in the email. The phishers are very clever in that they seem to follow Apple Graphic Design Standards to near perfection. A sure way to tell is to examine any link the email contains for its target URL. If it does not point to the apple.com domain - NOT just contain the word "apple"in it 'somewhere - but point to the Apple web presence - it is most certainly phishing. If you determine that it is phishing, you can and should FORWARD the email to [email protected] > then DELETE with Prejudice.

Unable to download app after I changed incorrect credit card information

So I wanted to make an in-app purchase, but then as I was about to buy it, I realized some of my credit card info was wrong, so I changed it. Afterwards, there was an error, but I got an email telling me I downloaded the app to the previous card info, but when I tried to make the purchase again, it wouldn't download...
Do I have to wait...or...?

Since you said you already purchased it try redownloading it by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise contact iTunes.

Lost IPod app after computer change

I downloaded an app onto my 5th gen IPod nano from the itunes store and soon after i lost the app, and my computer had wiped itself some time in between (the comper crashing had nothing to do with the app).Now when i tried to re-download the app from itunes, it says i have already purchased it, and it should be in my downloads, but it isnt. Is there any way of re-downloading this app without having to purchase it again.

Hello Boredgingo,
How did you download an App to your 5th generation nano? Apps are only compatible on iPod Touches, iPhones, and iPads running a compatible version of iOS.
Are you talking about a click wheel game you bought? If so, you'll need to repurchase it since it was a one time download only.

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

Can't update apps after name change.

I just recently changed my iTunes name. I made sure I logged in with it on my computer and did so with no problem. Now I also updated that info on my iPhone 4. I can buy apps with no problem whatsoever, however when I try to update my apps from the app store via iPhone, it keeps asking for the password to my old username and not my new one. Even of I did enter the password for it, it says that it is incorrect. How can I get my phone to recognize my new username for updates. Remember, there is no problem when buying the apps. It asks for the pass to the correct name.

You will have to call 1-800-MY-APPLE for a resolution. Apple will be able to consolidate the two accounts, but it can only be done over the phone. It's under the [FAQ|http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37] section for Apple ID's.

I can't update apps after IOS change

Somebody out there has the same problem????? I can't download new apps

If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
You may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode
