TS1702 updating app but wrong apple ID comes up

I downloaded an app which now needs an update but when trying to update my ipod it brings up an unknown apple ID, my ipod is new and I tried deleting and re-installing the app but still nothing. I have rebooted ipod as well. Any ideas?

- Are you signed into the the account that purchased the app? Settings>Store?
- Are you trying to update more than one app at a time? You can only do that if all the apps that need update were purchased from one account. If more than one account, you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

As I stated, you cannot change the Apple ID that an app asks for, it is forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase the app. You need to use the password for the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.
Apps are not transferrable.

Trouble updating apps and wrong Apple ID's

Hello,
Our kids got three iPods at Christmas, and I had one already. I set up my kids with 3 unique Apple IDs so they could have their own accounts for purchases, itunes cards, etc. I have a Macbook Pro with one user account and one iTunes library, and we use it to sync their apps & music with that one library. The thinking was that the kids could share apps and music they downloaded for free or via purchases since Apple lets us have up to 5 devices in one iTunes library.
Recently, updating apps on the iPods has become a pain. Some apps on one iPod want to update using their siblings Apple Id or my ID, and the update screen doesn't let us put in another ID. On the iPods I have verified in Settings… Store that the correct Apple ID is being used, and I have tried signing out and in. No matter what I do, some app updates want to use a different Apple ID than what should be used for that iPod.
Is this issue with updating due to how I have things set up? Is the cause due to one kid downloading an app via their iPod and synching it back to the Macbook, and their brother downloading the app onto their own iPod? If yes, what can I do to fix up this problem? Or is something else causing the problem?
Sooo confused… help! Thanks.

There is no other way to get the apps back without purchasing them again. IF - you still have the old ID and password, you can use that to update or download them again. If not, you will simply have to purchase them again.
"Opening" the old email address makes no sense. The old email address was just your username and Apple ID. Even if it is no longer working, you may still be able to use it - as long as you can remember your old password - if you know what I mean.

Can't Update apps because wrong Apple ID appears on phone

I have a 5s. Shortly after getting it, I synced it to the MacBook that my husband and I share. Ever since then, his Apple ID appears when I try to update my apps from the app store on my phone. My apple ID is what is entered in my settings, and my apple ID is what shows up if I purchase an app. However, his ID shows up when I go to update.
This happened a few years ago when he had a 3 and I had a 4. We didn't actually do anything to fix it. We just re-synced my phone, and suddenly my apple ID was back where it belonged instead of his showing up in my app store. That is not the case this time. I can't figure out how to get rid of his ID from my app store.
Also, I seem to remember that when you would sync your phone, the apps would automatically update during a sync. That no longer happens. Am I crazy? I swear they used to update during sync. Anyway, if they can't get updated when I sync, how am I supposed to update them if I can't remove his ID from my app store? Please help!!!!!!!

I had a similar problem on my iPhone and the problem turned out to be that I had restrictions set to not allow account changes. Once I unset this option (settings-General-restrictions), I could change my apple ID. Could something similar be happening to you?

Wanted to update apps but "Your Apple ID has been disable"...."

Hi maggieanntb, your sister's Apple ID came up because an app(s) was downloaded using her account. To prevent that from happening, you would have to delete the app(s) that were downloaded on her's, and re-download them using your own Apple ID.

Trying to update my apps but the Apple ID is wrong. Changed it in settings and rebooted. Still didn't work.

You need to delete them and then download them from the correct Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

I am trying to update my apps but my Apple id is an old one that isn't active, How do I delete the old apple id and use the new id which is my current email address

I am trying to update my apps and get new apps but my apple ID listed is an old inactive email address. How do I change it to my new email address? The new email address is in settings and is on my apple account. The only place the old one shows up is in the apps store - installing and updating. What do I do?

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them whether you are using the Apple ID for new purchases or not. All future updates will require the password for this original Apple ID. This can't be changed. The only way to stop this would be to delete these apps from your phone and iTunes library and repurchase them using your current ID.

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

You need to delete and redownload them to do that. This may require repurchasing paid ones.

Finally got through to tech support and found someone who seemed to know what was going on, he walked me through and using appleid.applesupport got me to a point where i could get a new password for the apple id that kept showing up.
I think you were on the right trail and I want to say thanks for your help. Much appreciated

Hi,
I scoured the web looking everywhere for a solution to this.
Exit Code 15
OSX 8.5 with Work@Home DVD media for CS6
I followed instructions to run 3rd party cleaner software
I tried the adobe removal tool
removing all copies of adobe software manually
installing from a new account, safe mode, plist everything suggested that i found did not work.
A colleague suggested that removing the below folder would allow the installation:
/Library/Application Supports/Adobe
They turned out to be correct, so i am passing this on, because this took far too many hours of my time.
Cheers,
Smokey

IPod touch wont update apps but it will install new ones?

My iPod touch 4th with ios 6.1.6 wont update apps, but i can install a new one.
I go to the app store, updates, they show up i can hit update all or do them separately doesn't matter.
Click on update it will switch to installing and ask for my password. Enter it and the installing will change back to update and do nothing.
I have 47GB of space and no more later versions of ios to upgrade to. This one particular app upgrade only requires ios 4. something.
With all this i am still able to install a new app and make purchases.
Any Advise

Go to the App Store and look at the requirements for the update. The update may require iOS 7 or higher. Sometimes updates get coded incorrectly and thus the iPod says an update is applicable when it really is not.

It says there isn't enough storage on my iphone to take photos or update apps but there is?

I keep trying to take photos and update apps but my phone keeps telling me there's not enough storage.
In my settings on iCloud it says there is 15GB storage with 8.6GB available though?

Hi
Thanks for replying. In general it says 10.1MB available, 13.5GB used
Does this mean I've got to delete my photos and other stuff off to make some room?
