Updates in the App-store are using the wrong apple-id.
Hi
My daughter has an Ipod touch.
At first we used the apple-id of my office.
But now we use our own. The apple-id of the office is deleted. That emailadress is not valid anymore.
Now is it possible to download new apps. Even iOS6 is downloaded perfectly.
But updating is another issue.
It keeps asking for the deleted apple-id.
What way can I reset this?
Thank you.
In order to update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased them. Apps are permanently locked to the account that purchased them. If there are apps that need updating yo have to update then one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

When updating software in app store automatically uses my partners apple ID
Hi,
Using a mini-Mac which has always been personalised to my apple ID, my girlfriend has a macbook air and iPhone. Somehow when I want to install software update it populates the apple ID with my girlfirends username, not mine?! The system appears to have my ID logged in and iTunes is using mine....it won't let m change it either.Launch the App store application. On the right side of the Panel, you will find 'Quick Links.' The first line will read either 'Welcom xxxxx' or 'Sign In' Select that and Sign in to the correct App Store account.
You will now have to verify that the Software has been bought for your account or not. If not, you have to 'repurchase,' if you are not in a 'Family Share'. If you are in a 'Family Share' it will provide the option under 'Purchased' to update software from your 'Family'
Have fun

App Store updates preload the wrong Apple ID
So I upgraded the family iMac to Mavericks, and now I'm trying to update associated programs, iphoto imovie, etc. When I click update the app store preloads an app store account from this computer's previous owner, and asks for his password. The apple ID half of the login screen is gryed and I can't click in it to change to our account. Any thoughts?
I'm logged into itunes and the app store for new purchases with my own account, it's only these updates that this happens for.. It wasn't ever a problem with Mountain Lion.
I do have the correct apple ID associated with this login, so I'm not sure how it even sees and old apple ID.
Thanks in advance.In order to update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased them. Apps are permanently locked to the account that purchased them. If there are apps that need updating yo have to update then one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

App Store FAIL: prompts for wrong Apple ID
After changing to a new, valid Apple ID & password in Settings / Store, the App Store app still prompts for the password to an old Apple ID previously used on my iPhone 3G. No amount of syncing in iTunes, or restarting the iPhone, or performing a restore in iTunes, corrects this, and the App Store app cannot be deleted. What must be done to force the App Store app to recognize updated Store settings in Settings???
"You are logged in with your new Apple ID with iTunes on your computer when syncing your iPhone with iTunes?"
It happens immediately upon opening App Store (touching the icon). I suspect the last time it was used, it was on the updates tab. The problem is that the App Store app doesn't fetch the current Settings/Store ID before starting an update check, and doesn't give me any way to change to the new ID within itself.
In iTunes, I am logged in with the new Apple ID, and have synced with no errors. And I have tried signing out in iTunes and in iPhone's Settings/Store, then signing in to my new Apple ID (actually it's my daughter's Apple ID, I gave my old 3G to her) in iTunes, connecting the iPhone USB, syncing, then signing in to new ID in Settings/Store, all to no avail.
Regardless of DRM issues, the App Store app should use the Apple ID stored in Settings/Store, then if during update checking if it finds an app purchased with another ID, prompt the user for that ID's password, or offer to remove the app. -
App store (OSX) asking for wrong Apple ID
Hi all,
I work as an IT technician for a UK University. I have recently setup a new MacBook Pro for one of our users. As part of the setup I installed all the updates via system menu->software update. To do this I was prompted for my Apple ID which I entered and the updates proceeded to download and install.
However now the machin has been passed to it's user, and when they try and update they are prompted for my Apple ID, and cannot change the ID, we have even tried signing out in the App store and signing in as them, but they are still prompted for my Apple ID.
Is there a way to resolve this even if we have to re-download the updates.
Cheers.
Phill.Well it's actually a MacBook Pro, not an iPad.......
But I was planning to try a re-install of OS, to see if that would fix it. Laptop is back with it's owner currently so she can back her data up first.
Since this was supplied with 10.9 pre-installed is there a way we can get a restore image ? Since 10.9 only seems to be available as an upgrade to 10.8 through the App store, or will 10.8 install on a current MacBook Pro ?
Cheers.
Phill. -
How do you change the apple id that your app store is using?
when i go into settings there is no app store in my settings and for some weird reason my app store is using my sisters apple id. can any one help me out?
There should be an iTunes and App Store setting in Settings. However, it the iTunes and App Store is hidden by Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) that setting does not appear.

After trying to update all in app store the icons are just staying on waiting position and noting happens
I have posted this quite a few times and some of these suggestions have worked for others in the past. See if anything works for you.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. You can also dete apps in Settings>General>Usage>Storage.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad. -
I can not update/download an app from app store by using my iphone 4s. I try every method by re-setting date/time and reboot the phone etc.NO Help.
The icon will change to blank keep waiting & can not go in & use in. Anyone have solution for this. pls help me...tks.local indicates local activity by the computer host Williams-macbook-pro.local=hostname@domain . The UID of 501 is the standard UID of a local computer administrator.
Copy and paste this little script in your terminal:
if [ "SSH_CONNECTION ]; then
echo I am remote
else
echo I am local
fi
A return of "i am local" ensures there is no remote connection to your machine (through SSH).
In the future, to avoid remote entry, I would recommend not posting your IP address though. -
How can I get my iPhone 4 to update my updates from my app store of it keeps telling me error 3150 or it tell me to refresh the page after updates and the updates are still there asking me to update them again?
Make sure iTunes on the computer is logged into the account on the phone.
Plug the iPhone in.
In the popup window warning about wiping your phone, hit cancel.
In the left pane of iTunes, the phone icon should be there.
Right click on it, select transfer purchases.
Note: this will only transfer music bought from iTunes. Not mp3's from amazon or ripped from CD's. -
How do I remove an old username from the app store when using the update function
How do I remove an old username from the app store when using the update function.
I purchased my Mac used. The former owners username prepopulates when I try to perform the updated function on the app store. It does not allow me to use a different user name. I have created my own username and password. I have even been able to purchase items from the app store, it's just when I use the update function it does populate with my username. Any help is appreciated.The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
1. You don't own another Mac.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
2. You do own another Mac.
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
Once booted in Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support. -
why when i want to download a free app from app store it asks for my apple id and when i give my apple id it then says "this apple id has not yet been used in the itunes store". i dont even know what that means and it will this happen everytime?
If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

How can I get the App store to use money in my account rather than a credit card when I want to buy something?
The iTunes/Mac App Stores use credit on an account first. You are asked to supply an additional payment method when the cash credit doesn't cover the complete cost of the purchase.
