Updating apps after changing appleid

I have just changed my email address and so I have attempted to change my appleid.  I am having trouble getting my apps to migrate to my computer after signing in with my new appleid.  Will apps purchased under the old id migrate to the new one?  Once the appleid is changed is there a delay in the system for having the change recognized across apps/programs?

I want some more info here. Did you only change the EMAIL that's associated with your Apple ID, or did you actually change the whole name of the Apple ID?

  • Problem with updating apps after changing country in appstore account

    I have recently moved from France to New Zealand so I changed the country of my app store account. But now I can't update the apps I downloaded in the French store as I am in NZ with NZ store set. How can I fix that?

    You'll have to switch back to the French store to update those apps.

  • Updating apps after changing country & iTunes store

    Ive change country and updated my iTunes store account. Since then I've learnt that my apps are linked to the address of the iTunes account where they were brought. ITunes tells me I have apps that need to be updated, but when I ask it to show me these apps, I get nothing, as the apps to be updated dont match to the account I'm now using.
    The way I've managed to work around this is to transfer all my brought apps onto my iPad, and ask it to show me apps to be updated, which it happily does. I update all the apps with the iPad and then sync these pack to my Mac and now these apps have been updated to belong to my new iTunes account! Any updates to these apps can be done with iTunes from now on.
    My problem lies with the amount of apps I've brought over the last couple of years. I've updated the app's address using the above method for 90% of my apps, and now have the odd app that requires this lengthy process to catch the remaing 10%.
    My question is - is there a quicker way to find out which of my apps belong to my old iTunes store account without having to migrate back to my old iTunes store and changing bank account details?
    Thanks.

  • Can't Update Apps After Changing Email Address

    Recently, I changed my Apple ID from my Yahoo! Email to MobileMe. Now every time I try to update my Apps in iTunes or the Mac App Store, I can't update the ones that I bought when I used my Yahoo! Email address. I can still download the updates if I sign in with my Yahoo! account, but that gets annoying.

    To answer you Oh yes I waited.... in fact almost 3 hours and it should not take that long..... I actually ended up restoring it and starting all over again. Seemed to work! We will see....
    Thank you

  • HT201272 Cannot download pervious purchased app after change country my AppleID registered..

    Cannot download pervious purchased app after change country my AppleID registered..
    How could I get app updates without change country back to origional country where I purchased app.?
    I have purchased lots apps on 2 country by same AppleID.
    It does not make sense to change the country setting.
    Due to in some country, iTunes online store only offer music/movies but NO TV show.
    So I change registered country of my AppleID to US store.
    Now I could purchased HD/1080p movies/TV shows, but cannot get app updates on iTunes which I purchased on pervious country.

    You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...

  • Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s

    Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s
    I can no longer update apps on my iPhone 4s after the IOS 8 update. The IOS 8 update took a very long time to complete, maybe 12 hours, and afterwards, it worked but updating packages were very slow. Package updates have since been problematic and about 4 days ago, it stopped being able to update any packages. I click on them to update and they never make any progress. I have 2.8 Gbytes free and I keep deleting more and more packages, pictures, etc. It seems like, from the amount of stuff that I have deleted, I should have more than 2.8 Gbytes free.
    Is anyone else having this kind of problem?

    16GB iPhone4: Go to Settings, scroll down to iTunes & App Stores and touch. At the top of the next page it shows: Apple ID. Touch this. Select Sign Out. Your Apple ID will go away. Re-enter Apple ID and password. Try App Store again.
       Other solutions were to go to Settings:General:Date&Time and turn off auto-update, then change date to next year. This didn't work for me, nor a lot of other users on the forums. It took reading a lot of threads to find the log-out, log-in solution. Even on the official Apple Website all I saw was: Make sure your connection is working, battery is charged, desktop is plugged in when you try to sync. OK I exaggerate, but with all the users posting this problem, you'd think they'd post their solutions when they work with a Tech Help call.

  • Keeps on updating apps after updating

    App store keeps on updating apps after they have been updated already in a previous session, showing the same updates as the time before.
    Somehow doesn't recognize the update installed.

    Just 'Pages', iBook Author and a Solitaire game.
    After updating, a day later it shows that they need to be updated again. An Apple support person told me to uninstall the particular apps and then redownload these apps from the store. This should solve the problem according to her.
    Next time they show up for updating, I will try this.

  • Updating apps after a change in Apple ID

    This question may well be addressed elsewhere, but it may help to have it here with a solution.
    I recently changed the email of my Apple ID. The change caused several problems and one with App store.
    Updating apps (e.g. Keynote) bought before the change, I found that the Apple ID proposed when I did so was the old one, which was, of course, no longer valid. It's greyed out in the window so you can't change it.
    I began to think I wasn't going to be able to update at all. But then I found a post related to something else but which helped out here.
    So the solution is to first trash the application and then click on "Buy" in the App store. You then get a window in which you can type the right Apple ID and connect to the store. You reclick "Buy" and because the app figures in the list you bought previously, the App store graciously lets you download the updated app for free. 

    OK I think I have the answer
    Work, in order to give me a functioning machine, installs Apple apps using its own Apple ID. It means they can write an image to my disk instead of painstakingly installing a box o' apps. makes perfect sense.
    I then add my own preferred apps, and those I bought myself through the apple store using MY Apple ID.
    Thus I can update "My" apps but can't update the apps installed by our IT department, because the system wants the appleID from the installer/disk image they were installed from.
    Thus I can upgrade to Yosemite but not install the related apps like pages/Keynote, etc. since it asks for the IT department's Apple ID and not mine, regardless of the apple ID I have entered in the System prefs.
    This happens with the following Apple apps::
    Pages
    Numbers
    Keynote
    iMovie
    iPhoto
    So: here's my solution.
    After you have the entire system updated etc, and you have isolated the apps that won't update for this specific reason, delete one of those apps, install it from scratch from the apple store, wait for it to download and install, open it once to make sure it works, then move to the next one. Painstaking I know but it worked...

  • IPhone 4 Won't Update Apps After Email Change

    I changed my Apple ID email online.  Then I went into the store settings and signed in with the new one.  Worked.  Then I went to the app store and it still shows my old Email address when I try to update things.  Can't change it there.  If I go to the app store>catergories>scroll the bottom, I can see my NEW email address there, but not in the update area.  I've synced it in iTunes, I've turned the iPhone off and on a number of times now.  I can't update any apps or buy things from the app store because my old email address shows up in ONE PLACE and ONE PLACE ONLY...  the update apps area.  How can I fix this so I can use the app store once again?
    Thanks!!! 

    I have the same annoying problem.. When my old id-adress came up, i tried to write in the password.. And im positive that i wrote in the correct one, but i won't go through.. So I try to reset that password by getting it on my email.. But I never get a emal.. And now, after trying for a million times, the apps that i tryed to update, no longer shows ???
    This is so annoying!!
    Please someone help us!
    I did try to reset my primary apple-id adress, but it won't change. It says that the adress is already in use..
    I fon't grt this?
    When you change your apple-id all of your stuff, apps and everything should come along, so that you can update them or whatever as normal even if the apple-id is changed..
    This is ********. It shouldn't be this hard !!

  • How to update (free) IOS apps after changing Apple ID

    So I inherited my daughter's phone when she upgraded and I switched everything over to my Apple ID (iCloud, App Store, iTunes, etc.)
    Now, it refuses to update apps -- even free ones like facebook, instagram, twitter -- unless I provide the password to HER Apple ID (presumably because she downloaded them under her ID.
    Apart from deleting and re-installing, is there a way to do this?
    Thanks,  Hugh.

    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to purchase/download them.   And will always require it to update, there's no way to get around that.
    For free Apps, you can delete them, and re-download them with your Apple ID with out any issues.    Purchased Apps will need to be bought and payed for with your Apple ID.

    Enter his password.
    Or repurchase the apps with your AppleID.

  • Unable to update apps after 10.5 update

    I have been unable to update apps on my iPhone since downloading iTunes 10.5.
    I have an established connection in iTunes to my account and can download apps but when I when I click on "# Updates Available" I am asked to sign in again and then receive a message that the iTunes Store is unavailable and to try again later.
    All system software is up to date and I have update my iOS to 5. I am able to connect to the store via my iPhone and update there but do not understand why I can't view the updates on my Mac.
    Please help

    Please test after each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes. Keep in mind that no one here represents Apple or can help with customer-service issues.
    Step 1
    A purchased app can only be updated by signing in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to buy it. There's no way around that limitation, which also applies to free apps. If you can't sign in with the buyer's ID, delete the app and reinstall it. You'll have to pay for it again, if applicable.
    Step 2
    If you get the alert when trying to update a bundled iLife app, select the Purchases page in the App Store and locate the app in your purchase history. If there's a button marked ACCEPT on the right, click it.
    If you have a used Mac, the bundled apps were linked to the original owner's Apple ID and can't be transferred to you. Reportedly, customer service has issued redemption codes to some second owners who asked, but it's not guaranteed.
    Step 3
    If you're trying to update iLife or iWork apps that were installed from a purchased DVD, or if you have a refurbished Mac bought directly from Apple, contact App Store customer service for a redemption code. You may be asked for the part number of the DVD.
    Step 4
    From the App Store menu bar, select
              Store ▹ View My Account
    Enter your Apple ID password at the prompt. At the lower right corner of the window that opens, click the Reset button. Close the window.
    Step 5
    According to a report, the error can result from changing the language setting of your Apple ID account. I can't confirm.

  • HT1311 How do you get an old apple Id off existing apps. I am trying to update apps but old appleid keeps coming up instead of new one that was added to settings

    How do I remove an old appleid from iPhone. A new one has been updated in destined but when I go to update apps that were installed using old userid still appears. The old I'd is not active and doesn't exist any more so I need to change the id that the apps are associated with.

    Indeed. I changed my ID some time ago, and now have to pay the very minor price of signing back in with the apropriate ID to uodate apps bought with that ID. Not a major problem.

  • 4S hangs updating apps after iOS6 install

    I updated my 4S to iOS 6.0 this morning.  Initially, it hung on restart and I was forced, after over 30 minutes with no change, to restore to factory, then restore from the backup I made prior to installing the new iOS.  It restored and installed iOS 6 with no issues.  Everything looked good until I attempted to install/update apps.  Four of them hung at "waiting" for an hour.  I updated them in iTunes and attempted to update them on the phone via a sync to no avail.  I restarted my MBP and tried again.  Still hung up.  I finally got movement, one app at a time, by restarting the iPhone - four times over.
    This afternoon, there were more apps to update.  Silly me, I just asked the iPhone to do it.  Again, I am hung up at "waiting."  This time, nothing works.  I don't even have the option, via the iPhone or iTunes, to delete and reinstall them.  I've restarted everything, and am down to doing another restore if no one has any better suggestions.  I just don't want to be stuck restoring every time there's a major app update until this is addressed.
    I have seen "Cannot sync iPhone. unknown error 1136" a couple of times upon attempting to sync while the app updates were hung up, but a restart of iTunes 10.7 got rid of that message.
    Anyone else seeing this and managed to get past it?  Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    So, I ended up calling AppleCare.  We tried a few things, but ultimately ended up doing the restore to factory defaults option as even attempting to install apps directly ftom iTunes wasn't working. 
    Instead of restoring to backup, we started fresh and tried to install an app.  No problem.  So it looked like bad info from my iPhone was causing the problem.  I wasn't ready to give up and restored from my morning backup after I got off the phone. 
    While I sat and impatiently watched 90-some apps install during the restore-from-backup, I realized something.  During that process earlier today, I hadn't liked where the iOS was putting a couple things, and the fact that it had forgotten to put in an app or two.  I had rearranged the offending items and added the missing apps.  Then I hit "sync."  Ya, in the middle of a restore.  Since the latest restore-from-backup is working fine and installing apps without an issue, that had to be the culprit. 
    So, if you're having problems after doing a restore-from-backup after issues installing iOS 6, ask yourself if you did ANYTHING on your phone or if you re-synced during that restore.  If you did, you might seriously consider re-doing that restore.
