Theres an old apple id stuck in my app store so I can't update

I have signed in and out of both itunes and the app store, and both indicate I am signed in with my current apple id, yet when I go to download updates from the app store it asks me for a password for an old apple id and I cannot modify the id field, so it is stuck in there.
Any thoughts?

That was the problem, thanks. I deleted those apps so now I don't get the request to update them, as they were downloaded by the previous owner.
Cheers.

There is an ad for a game stuck on my App Store and I can't make it go away

I have a new iPad and there is an ad for a game stuck on my App Store page. Does anyone know how I can clear it?

Double click the home button and swipe the App Store up to close it. Check to see if the add is gone. If it's still there it's reset time. Press and hold down both the home and power button for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. Now the add is gone.

Old inaccessible Apple ID stuck in Mac App Store

I have a hand-me-down Macbook Pro from my uncle, who used the computer before me himself. He has his own Apple ID and i have my own as well. My uncle had his ID used on the computer for Final Cut Pro X and Angry Birds, among other apps. I deleted all of the content that was based on his account from the computer when he gave it to me other than Final Cut Pro X. However for a long time now Angry Birds has been a part of his account and still shows up in my Mac App Store. For as long as I can remember, that little red badge with the 1 on it has been hanging on the Mac App Store logo for Angry Birds. It's a really long story, but the point is the email and the ID itself are as far as I know, inaccessible, the Apple ID is disabled with no hope of retreival, and that godforsaken Angry Birds 2.1.0 update is stuck there forever. I've tried deleting the Mac App Store's plists with the following commands in Terminal:
rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.storeagent
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.storeagent.plist
rm ~/Library/Cookies/com.apple.appstore.plist
I've tried uninstalling the Mac App Store, which lead to me having to reinstall all of Mac OS X, I've tried deleting the only app from that account I have, Final Cut Pro X, and every possible combination of the above mentioned, but no matter what, Mac App Store still thinks I need to update Angry Birds. Please, someone, anyone, help me. I've never hated Angry Birds, Mac App Store or that red update badge more in my life.

Is it really your uncle's Apple ID that is appearing with the update, or is it a stranger's Apple ID appearing?
If it is a stranger's ID, then you have a pirated app.

TS1424 How do I sign out of my old ID & sign in w/ my new Apple ID in the app store so I can allow updates to apps?

How do I sign out of my old ID & sign in w/ my new Apple ID. My old ID that is no longer valid is what shows when I want to update some apps.

On your iPad...
Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out...
Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.

I have 2 Apple ID's but the app store will not let me update iPhoto with either

I have a MacBook pro 2011. For some reason i have ended up with 2 Apple ID's i must have forgotten something or i changed my account name from when i first set up the machine. Some apps allow me to upgrade with one but not the other. I have upgraded to Yosemite via a clean install at the Apple store. I have loaded back on my back up but iPhoto isn't there and it has asked me to upgrade via the App store. Unfortunately neither Apple ID's will let me upgrade.
The Message on screen is:
Upgrade 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
Do i head back to the Apple store and talk with them or is there something i can do at home?
Thanks in advance of any help

I think you're confusing RAM memory with hard drive memory storage...the two aren't the same.
Although you're being told you need 2GB of RAM to run Mountain Lion....I would consider 4GB the minimum. You should be able to upgrade the RAM in your iMac to 4GB for well under $100.

Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account. You may have already done this.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

You should be able to log out of an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and you can then log in with your new account.
Any content that you downloaded with your old account will remain tied to that old account, so only that account can potentially redownload them and/or download updates to its apps. You should be able to reset the password on an iTunes account via http://iforgot.apple.com e.g. by answering the account's security questions.

Macbook pro two days old...bought logic from app store...logic has installed partly each time i open it up it wants to download rest of programme then stops half way thru and gets error message 'logic is unable to continue with download' help needed !

Hello:
I would trot back into the Apple store and have them fix the problem (or call Applecare with a warranty issue). There is no sense in you wasting your time trying to troubleshoot things on a new computer.

Does everyone need to use the same Apple ID/password for iTunes & App Store in iOS 8 Family share?

I just set up Family share on my 5S and my wife's 5, both running iOS 8. I am the organizer.
In order for my wife's purchases to be charged to my CC (per Family Share setup), does she need to be signed in under my Apple ID and password under Settings -> iTunes & App Store? Or, can she use her Apple ID (that she used with her previous App Store purchases)? Additionally, if she makes purchases in iTunes or the App Store under my Apple ID, does she need to enter my password?
If she's logged into "iTunes & App Store" on her phone, using her Apple ID, will it work?

Well thanx to your answer I sure did just sign out of my old id, & now it's working! Thanx a lot IIIaass, you saved me from having to deal with anymore frustration! Thanx IIIaass!

I signed up for my apple account while living in Canada, and now I lives in the US. I am looking for a specific app that apparently is only available through the US app store. How can I change my account to the US Apple Store?

I signed up for my apple account while living in Canada, and now I lives in the US. I am looking for a specific app that apparently is only available through the US app store. How can I change my account to the US Apple Store?

As long as you have a form of payment (credit or debit card) with a USA source, and with a billing address in the USA, then you just need to change your payment information on your account to that, change your country in the store settings, and you will then be able to shop in the USA store.
Your AppleID will work in any country's store, as long as your payment source and billing addres are also specific to that country (and you are in that country as well, as there may be IP filters in place to stop use outside of the country).

Is there a way to create my own app store that I can share with employees? I'm thinking apps that we've identified as important or needed, all in one place.

Not exactly your own app store, but close. Apple has an App Store Volume Purchasing Program for Business > http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
It allows you to purchase apps in any quantity you desire and pay using a company credit card. You will receive a spreadsheet of redeem codes which you distribute to your emloyees. The program guide has complete information > http://images.apple.com/business/docs/VPP_Business_Guide_US.pdf
