Updating apps after moving to new country

I have read the previous discussions but they provide no help for my situation.
I have moved from Sweden to Germany and now my (many) apps are not updating in iTunes. I can update any apps bought in the German store but any bought previous to my move a) do not show up in the purchased list and b) though iTunes tells me there are updates available I cannot update them.
I would expect all of my apps to be listed in the purchased list regardless where I bought them.
Also, it has been suggested I delete them all and reinstall from the German store but they are not all available form the German store.
Please advise me how I can untangle this terrible mess!
And please tell me when Apple will improve this aweful service. It really makes me long for an Android.

I think the whole Apple ID situation is a horrible nightmare, not entirely, but mainly Apple's fault. (Amazon is another 'global' player with national stores which don't sell the same things.)
I live in France, visit the UK regularly, speak French, but prefer to do my shopping in English (also there are apps I use when in England not available on the French store).
      Example:
      when in France I want the SFR app on my iPad
      when in the UK I want the iPlayer app.
I have one Apple ID which I use to got to the UK store and another to go to the French store. For each I give a different country of residence and a different bank card. I can't understand why I can't have one ID with different cards for the different countries. People do travel... ...
Syncing between my iMac, iPad and iPhone is a headache also, as I have to remember which ID I have configured on each device.
And don't get me started on global internet companies (Apple is by no means alone) which treat country of residence as the same thing as language of choice.
My 27-year love relationship with Apple is beginning to sour.

Unable to updates Apps since moving to New Zealand itunes store

Hey erveryone,
I recently moved to New Zealand to work here for a year, I subsequently moved to the NZ itunes store. Since I'm unable to update any of my iphone apps, also itunes shows two available updates whenever I try to update them I receive a message saying that there are no update at this time.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jon

You don't need to access the email account.
Use the link provided by robdrage to update your old AppleID.

How do i update Apps after creating a new Apple ID?

I created a new Apple ID to seperate my account from mmy Son's account. We've had the same account going to two different phones since he was in Middle School - he is now in college and with iCloud I really don't want all his music and contacts etc.
The problem is - even though I set my iPhone (3GS) to access my new account - it's not allowing me to update Apps that are currently on my phone purchased under my old account. It asks me for the password to the old Apple ID.
Is there a way to update the Apps I already purchased though my new account?

If you know the old password, it should allow you to update.
However, if you want to redownload the app fresh, you will have to delete it from your phone first. Also, delete it from your iTunes so it will not try to sync the old version back on.
NOTE: The deleting/redownload app worked for me when I switched AppleIDs, but I also wiped the phone and started with a fresh library in iTunes. I did this because I wanted no trace of my old AppleID anywhere. I was able to redownload apps with my new ID, and everything now is tied to my new one.

Can't update apps after upgrading to iOS 8 on ipad air

can't update apps after updating to iOS 8 on iPad air

There are 2 ways to fix the issue:
1) Disable mod_spdy
2) Push Apple to fix Safari 8, b/c the problem exists in both iOS and desktop versions

I cannot update apps, after putting in password it automatically goes back like nothing happened.

I cannot update apps,or order a new app. I put in my password and it automatically goes back to the beginning.

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 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.

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

Multiple Apple ID's after moving to another country

Hi all
This is probably a well known issue already, but I am posting my experience here for visibility to Apple.
I moved from New Zealand to Australia in August. Both countries obviously have independant iTunes/App Stores. After relocating to Australia, I heard about a bunch of great apps I could get for my iDevices, however they were only available in the Australia iTunes store. There was no option for me to change my existing NZ iTunes/App Store account to Australia, so I was forced to create a new Apple ID for purchasing apps from the Australian App Store. Now it's extremely annoying when I want to update Apps on my phone, because some are acquired through the NZ store and some through to AU store.
Why can we not just change the country our Apple ID is set for? It makes it extremely difficult, even for travellers visiting other countries, to get localised Apps for while they are there. Is it a licensing issue?
Anyone else have this problem too?

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.

Can't update apps after location replacing..

Hello guys.
I've recently replaced my iTunes ID account location.
Since then, everytime iTunes tells me that there are new updates for my iPhone apps, iTunes refers me to a page that tells me that there are no updates (just after clicking "Check for updates" icon). My only option to update my iPhones apps is only in my iPhone.
Any help?
Thanks

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

Update app after grace period

We currently have an app with an install base in the tens of thousands. I recently applied an update signed with a valid certificate, but that certificate has just expired. I need to know what will happen after the 180 day "grace period". If I apply another update in more than 180 days, will the original users need to uninstall the original app to install the new one? From what I see in the documentation that looks like the only option...?
Thanks

Thanks, Ann154, for your reply.
Hello nd09,
Thanks for posting! Is there a reason why you’re considering returning your device? If you recently upgraded to a new device that you purchased directly from Verizon Wireless and are beyond the Return/Exchange period, 14 days, as Ann154 mentioned, you will be charge an early termination fee if your line is disconnected. If you simply return the device during this period than your contract will go back to how it was before the upgrade. I trust you’ll find this information helpful. Have a great day.

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 !!
