Updating apps

Hey! Well, I have problem with updating my apps on app store...each time I tap on update button a box comes up with an email of another app id which is not mine and there is no way to change it! Is there any way to sign in with my id and update my apps??

I tried that before. Actually even if i bought the app in updates my ID won't appear. Maybe the only solution,if thats what you mean is to reinstall the app every time i want to update. Thanks anyway :)
No.  If you delete and reinstall once, it will be tagged with your ID.
It's not possible to rebuy "in updates."
Note...
To be safe, also delete the app from the computer's iTunes before you repurchase.

  • After IOS 8 update, cannot install or update app

    As my subject mentioned, after the ios 8 update, i cannot install or update app.  I have done everything like calling the tech support, follow their instructions etc.. Some of the things i had done were
    Soft reset ipad
    Hard reset ipad
    logout of itune store and login
    delete everything on ipad and restore from itunes.
    All these doesn't work and the problem keeps coming back again.  This is frustrating that Apple would release an update like this that would break my ipad air. On top of that, quite a lot of app are not working eg zinio, evernote.  My ipad air has been in this mode eversince the update release and i had mostly given up to resolve it.  For all other ipad owners, if you want to avoid this anguish don't update to ios 8. 

    You are not alone. Here's one thread
    Why can't I download or update apps on iPad running iOS 8
    If you have the WSJ app installed, delete it and see if that fixes things. It immediately fixed it for me, but not for all people with the problem.

  • IPad App Store not downloading updated apps

    I have an iPad 3 64GB that has been updated to iOS 8. In the last two days, the App Store will not download updated apps. It shows them with a red number, but when I click on Update, I get the circle with a square in the middle but then nothing proceeds. If I go to the individual app, it says "waiting…" but if I click it, it does not change to "paused" as it used to when waiting was shown.
    My iPhone 5S is not having a problem, nor is iTunes on my computer.
    Sometimes, if I sync the iPad with iTunes, the updated apps will copy over to the iPad, but not every time.
    I have done a forced restart on the iPad and have also done a Reset All Settings under the General setting.
    It appears that something has gone wrong with the App Store app. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to fix this short of restoring the iPad to new status and reinstalling everything?

    Hi,
    Try deleting the apps with the issue from iTunes, and then download and update them again.

  • Why am I being charged to update apps that I know were free?

    I have several apps that I've downloaded that I know are free 100% and even ones I've had for years, but since updating to a whole new phone, things aren't acting right. Every time I try to update these apps, I get this thing where I have to sign in to my account to view settings. Then when I do it says my info is wrong, but it's not. And even if I cancel the updates it's been charging me $1.75 each time! So now I have $12.25 in charges just to update apps that are free! So wth?!
    The apps are: Dragon Skies, Action Bowling Free and Breeding Guide for DragonVale.

    Go here:

    and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
    Regards.

  • My ow doesn't work for updating apps but does for buying music at ITunes Store.  Why?

    My Apple password works for buying songs on iTunes but not for updating apps that I purchased through Apple.  Why.

    is the driver for your network card up to date?  that could be a reason it will not work with the more up to date HH3
    If want more assistance from the forum members please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com or http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9354/c/346,4740,5520 and post the results .
    are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
    Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
    Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

    When trying to update  Apps in iTunes on my computer my old Apple ID appears, which is no longer in use and has no password; even when I try to create a password for this Old ID, Apple won't let me. When I go into see my Account settings My new Apple ID / iTunes ID are listed and the passwords are correct obviously so why can't I update my Apps?   Why does my Old apple ID keep appearing and how can I get Apple to change this?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

    If you dont have none option then you must own itunes some money. So you have to enter the payment like a itunes giftcard. you can contact itunes by email by going to expresslane.apple.com

    Did you go to Settings/iTunes and AppStore/Apple ID and make sure that your Apple ID is listed?
    If not, sign out with the shown ID, restart the phone and sign in with your AppleID after that.
