TS1702 after changing apple id, do all apps have to be re-installed under new id

After changing both my apple id and icloud id (to one and the same), I am unable to instal upgrades to previously installed apps - as my old apple id comes up and I am unable to change/delete it. I would appreciate any help and/or suggestions.
Thanks!

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You can not update or re-download them using a different ID.

HT5787 Change apple id for all purchased apps...

I want to change apple id in my iphone as my old apple ID's password is not working. Please help me. I want to change apple ID for all new and old purchases.

Have you tried logging out an back into that account on your phone (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store), and/or tried getting the password reset for it : http://iforgot.apple.com (if you do get the password reset then you might need to logout and back into it) ?
If you create a new account then that will work for new purchases, but all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account, so only your old account will be able to redownload those purchases and/or download updates to its apps.

I cannot change apple id when the app store asks me to update anything

App Store products can only be updated by signing in to the store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to download them. You can't update anything, including your own purchases, as long as there are pending updates linked to the other ID.
If you can't sign in with the other ID, you have to delete all the apps that are linked to it. If you don't know which apps those are, see below.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
          File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
          Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
          Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
          Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Delete each such item by following the instructions in the Apple Support article linked above.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

This isn't achely a question it's about iPod not iPhone but can Apple. Make all apps work with iOS 7 even when it's really old

And it's totally impractical for any OS to provide complete backwards compatibility in perpetuity. So no, Apple cannot grant your request. As WJ said, it's the developers' reponsibility to provide updates to their applications to be compatible with newer operating system releases, whatever the platform might be.

Text Messaging stopped working after changing Apple password, although it is still working on my iPhone.a

Text Messaging stopped working after changing Apple password, although it is still working on my iPhone. I tried changing the password in the Settings>Messenger, but can't get it to work. What do I do?

After I type in the message and click on the Send button, "Sending" is displayed, but at the end of this process, a message under the message says "Not Delivered".

I upgraded my new Ipad to OS 5.1.1, and all apps have started crashing. As soon as I open an app it crashes right away. Tried syncing, restarting, hasnt made a difference. ANY SUGGESTIONS?

You mention that you have tried restarting, but did you try a reset?
Simultaneously hold down the Home and the On buttons until the iPad shuts downs. Ignore the Off slider should it appear. This will take ten seconds give or take. After the sut down is complete, press the Onn button to restart. NOTE: this is different from simply shutting down the iPad.

I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.

I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. This I have verified, but when I shall put this onto my phone, so the phone will not approve the newusername and password. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? Silly to buy a new phone just for this .... The phone is almost three years old. How long can weexpect this to last? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.

It sounds like your device might be in Activation Lock. Is it asking your to enter in an Apple ID & password, but only showing you the first letter of the email address and then some dots? Example: j•••••@icloud.com?
If so, do you recognize that email? Do you have an Apple ID that fits the same format? If so, then go to www.cloud.com, log in with that Apple ID & password, and see if under Find My iPhone it shows this device. If so, turn off the device, then remove the device from the list.

I'm on Vacation with no access to my Mac. But had tried Sync. My software update is iOS 6.0.1. I've tried another WiFi network. I read your comment of deleting Apps for stuck update. So removed all Apps! Can't even install Free Apps. Now using my Kindle

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

After 8.1.3 update several apps have become inactive, and it is impossible to uninstall them. Any idea?

Well now it is even more important that you provide some details as to what is happening. We were merely taking guesses, so we need feedback now.

Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates

Hi there, since I upgraded my 5s to 8.0.2, I never haven't been able to download any of my purchased applications, about 800!, I read many pages , reset, restarted, restored, ... 1000 times, but all apps have been waiting, very disappointing apple!

Since I bought this device I enjoyed it, everywhere I suggested it to my friends and co-workers. Until I upgraded its iOS from 7.1.2 to 8.0.2. The battery usage is as quickly as a Ferrari, no applications of previously purchased can be re-downloaded (I had to restore it and I lost all of them during upgrading). Honestly they really disappointed me. I have done any offer I read and saw on webpages, it's my same ID and nothing has changed. I reset all settings, network settings, used another Wi-Fi, used 3G, synced with my itunes on my laptop, and solutions you can think about during these couple of weeks. I expect apple to do something for the loyal customers which prefer their great company to another ones. Thanks so Much.

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

How do I go back to forgotten apple ID that all apps were purchased under?

I tried to sync another new iPhone 4 to my computer to help out someone. The computer seen it as a replacement for my phone. The changed apple ID is now what my apps are under. I'm guessing that's the problem anyway. So how do I recover my iTunes account and apps from this other apple ID. I have changed my ID and removed all apps from phone then reinstalled them. I have restored the phone. Power down and up. Hard reset. Changed all kinds of things in settings. Whenever I try to update an app it says cannot connect to iTunes store. But I can purchase any app I want. I believe it's iTunes account problem and not my iPhone.
I'm hoping to get help here. The express lane techs told me to do again what I already had told them I had done before. Plus the generic thanks for using iTunes.

Are you trying to transfer app puchases from one Apple ID to another?

Change apple ID on Purchased APP's

Until fairly recently my wife and I shared an apple ID, simply because it was easier, as we only had one debit card to pay for purchases etc.
However, as our finances have become more stable I now have my own Apple ID and iphone 4.
So all of the APPS that I have previously purchased using our 'shared' Apple ID, I have imported into 'my' iTunes. I've also been able to sync them with my iphone.
The problem is, that when updates are issued they are looking for our 'shared' Apple ID. I did not with the following link that I'll need to put our 'shared' apple ID password in, forever...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20842941?searchText=Change Apple ID on APPS#20842941
Isn't this slightly rubbish?
I have paid for them, so don't see why I need to continue to use an old Apple ID. I appreciate this is for security reasons (otherwise, one person could download and share it with everybody). But, really that's not my concern, my concern is having the ability to update Apps that i have bought and paid for, without having to ask my wife "what's YOUR apple ID password again".

Sadly that's the way it is. Apps are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them, and you can't update apps across multiple IDs without switching in and out of each account.

Make sure Music is switched ON.

IMessage not working after changing Apple ID email

After changing my Apple ID email from Yahoo to Live, I haven't been able to receive any iMessages, but I have been able to deliver them.

I recently changed my Apple ID and, initially hit all sorts of problems (ML & iOS5.1). AppleTV very confused, Calandar duplicating entries on an iPad, but losing them on the Mac (but being correct on iCloud.com).
The solution ended up being straightforward, if unnecessarily annoying.
On the Mac - in SysPrefs (iCloud) turn off all syncs and sign out. Delete items from the Mac (in response to the prompt).
On the iPad - in settings do the same.
On the ATV - turn off Home Sharing.
In iTunes - log out of the Apple Store
Sign out on iCloud.com and sign back in using a @me.com email address (not the Apple ID)
Reestablish iCloud sync (etc) by signing in using the email address (not the ID).
It appears that everything collects the new Apple ID using the email address and they all play nicely together again.
