The App Store won't recognise verified Apple ID
A friend has a problem on her iPad as she appears to have two Apple IDs.
On the iPad and under Settings, the iTunes & App Store shows her Apple ID as an iCloud email address. If she taps that ID to view the ID information it asks her for a password, which is accepted, and it goes into the Account window which again displays her Apple ID as the iCloud address. Tapping that again gives her an Apple ID Summary, and the opportunity to click an appleid.apple.com link to change security questions and other Apple ID details. Clicking on that link takes her to a login page on the Apple website where she can sign in successfully with her iCloud ID and password.
She then sees confirmation of her name, her Apple ID and Primary Email Address (the iCloud ID/address) which is ticked as Verified. She also sees an Alternate Email Address (a gmail.com rescue address which she set up last month) which is also marked as Verified.
So far so good.
The problem arises when she goes into the App Store on the iPad and tries to do anything (update or purchase an app). The Store gives the gmail.com address as her ID and asks for a password for that (which she does not have). Why doesn't the store have her iCloud address as her ID - as would appear to be the case from the other information given above?
Is there a simple way to have the Store use her iCloud ID?
Hello Andrewspackman,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your description it sounds like your friend has two Apple IDs, one using her iCloud email address and one with the gmail.com address. The following article gives options and steps to use one or the other or both for various iCloud and iTunes activities.
Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support

I have Numbers vers 2.3. The app store won't sell me vera 3.2 - it says it's installed. How can I buy it? Thanks
Hi Exaluman,
If you had Numbers 2.3, it may be that an automatic update has installed Numbers 3.2 on your machine. App Store will detect that installation.
Wayne Contello has written a User Tip for working with the old and new versions of iWork.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6991
The trick is to drag icons for both versions to your Dock. Right click or control click on each and Options > Keep in Dock. That puts you in charge of which version you launch.
Here is a screen shot of both Numbers icons on my Dock.
Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09) on the left with a three column graph.
Numbers 3.2 on the right with a four column graph.
Both versions will run happily together. Just be sure which version is opening your document.
Instead of double clicking the document, run whichever version of Numbers/Pages/Keynote suits and use File > Open.
Regards,
Ian. -

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPhone forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

The App Store won't load on iPhone 4 (v.4.3.3),
The App Store won't load on iPhone 4 (v.4.3.3), it actually opens and shows as if it's trying to load the applications but no result, it's not the internet problem, because Safari opens normal. Any solutions? Is there a way to update only App Store?
Many thanks in advanceWell i actually did restart the phone, and the App Store worked for some time, then suddenly stopped, and recently there seems to be a new problem, it doesn't connect properly to the wi-fi, though the laptop has perfect conncetion, i guess there is something wrong with the connection on the iPhone itself after all.

Help please! I have been using Mountain Lion for a few weeks but Finder, System Prefferences and the App Store won't load and/or keep crashing even after reinstalling the OS. How do to fix it?
Model Identifier: MacBookPro8,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.7 GHz
Number of Processors: 1
Total Number of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Boot ROM Version: MBP81.0047.B27
SMC Version (system): 1.68f99You need to check to make sure you are actually connected to the network. Tap Settings > WiFi >and then tap the blue ">" next to the network name with checkmark. You should see a complete set of IP address but if the router didn't issue you an IP address properly, you will see your touch IP address start with 169.x. If this is the case, you are connected to the internal network but not to the web.
First thing to do (while you are on that screen) is tap "Forget Network". Then turn WiFi off. Turn it back on and, if needed, tap Other and re-enter your network information. If you continue to have problems, check with your IT department on Monday.
In the meantime, your laptop and iTunes can be used to purchase apps and music. Syncing them with your touch is a great way to get them installed while you are waiting for the answer on your WiFi problem. -
since updating my apps don't work anymore, the app store won't connect, I tried deleting apps and reinstalling, no go. The phone is just a phone now.
Try accessing the Store through the Music App first then use the other app.
