Use different Apple ID to update apps?

My apple ID is an old email address from an internet service provider that no longer exists. I have no way to check the verification email they want to send. I have created a new appple id using my new email address. How can i get my iphone 3gs to verify through the new apple id? any help would be greatly appreciated! I have changed the >Store settings to the new ID, but it still asks for the old one.

You can't.
All 3rd party apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. Doesn't matter if you no longer use that email account or address any more - you just need to know the password for the iTunes account associated with that email address which can be different from the password for the email account. I believe you can add a different email address for correpsondence with an existing iTunes account without having to create a new iTunes account.

IPhone tries to use old Apple ID to update apps

While updating Apps on iPhone 6 it asks for an Apple ID password that is no longer in use. How do I get it to use my current Apple ID?

Delete and redownload those applications. The old Apple ID is stored inside them.

IPad mini Uses wrong Apple ID to update apps

Asks for password for another account. Have updated account settings, logged out and logged back in

It is asking for the password for the account that was originally used to purchase the App. Apps are tied to the purchase account and can't be transferred between accounts.
If you wish to eliminate this then delete the App and repurchase it under your correct Apple ID.

HT204053 Can I use one Apple ID to purchase apps and a different one to purchase iTunes music

Can I use one Apple ID to purchase apps and a different Apple ID to purchase music off iTunes on the same computer?

Short answer, yes.
Long answer, it can make things more complicated, especially if you start adding iOS devices to the mix.

HT1206 I buy apps in my iPhone using different Apple IDs. Which Apple ID should I use to authorize the computer when synchronizing iPhone with iTunes?

I buy apps in my iPhone using different Apple ID. Which Apple ID should I use to authorize the computer when sync iPhone with iTunes?

Hi again,
After a little further research, it appears that you would need to create separate iTunes libraries in order to be able to continue to purchase and download previously purchased items on the same computer, for two different Apple IDs. Sorry - but my husband and I have had the library we sync with authorized for so long, that we have not run into this issue, but it appears that you will get an warning when you try to authorize the second ID on the same computer, indicating that another ID is already associated with it.
So, you will probably have to set up separate iTunes libraries for each ID:

Sorry for any confusion - hope this helps!

ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app?

ITUNES - Are there disadvantages to using different Apple IDs for inistalling the .app file not overwrite the previous one at itunes?

In my opinion it is best to use one Apple ID on your computer and iPad. Using multiple IDs causes confusion.
I also suggest that each person with their own iOS device have their own unique Apple ID. On the computer create different accounts for each user so that iTunes on each account can be associated with the correct Apple ID.

Hi have used iMac, want to update to Mavericks, so did I loose all programs if if I'm use different apple Id

so did I loose all programs if I'm use different apple Id with new Mavericks?

In order to reliably save the info and be able to restore at a later date, you would need to use his AppleID.
Switch to it on iTunes, back the iPad up and confirm the backup exists (Preferences / Devices), then switch to yours, wipe the iPad and start afresh. Will also wipe his apps, as they are tied to the AppleID as well.

I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade but I have a new Apple ID, how can I make certain I don't lose any data in my iBooks?

I have an iPad 2 and used old Apple ID for iBook app; now it wants to upgrade iBook but it is "stuck" on my old ID, yet I already created a new ID but it won't let me update the App. I have everything backed up on my MacBook so if I delete iBooks on my iPad and retrieve the App under my new ID and then sync with my MacBook, will I still have all of the books, etc.?

Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong.

How can I get my iPhone to stop promting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I've checked settings for iTunes

How can I get my iPhone 6 to stop prompting me to enter my wife's Apple ID when updating apps? I have verified in settings that my acct is listed in itunes & App Store, as well as icloud. i can download new apps fine. Have shut down phone and re-powered, have tried plugging into my iMac while signed into my iTunes acct. Can't figure out what to do next?

Is the comp a synced device to your apple ID and approved as an active device for this synchronization?
Just cloud the sync once, activate the comp to your apple I'd in iTunes, ensure all software is up to date, turn on home sharing between the devices and you can reinstall the apps from the apple id purchase history via download.
You basically cleaned out the canonical data apple uses to validate all that, which was backup data. Like iOS devices have the purchased option on the App Store now, syncing the devices via the home sharing and properly activating them will give your comp the purchased cloud and free up 10gs of space on the precious solid states smaller drives.
Hope that helps...
If you need to know the menu to find this info, let me know. But the info is easily accessible in the help menu.

IPad Simultaneously use different Apple IDs?

When I set up my iPad I was given the option to use different Apple IDs for iTunes and the App Store. I opted to use the same ID. Now I have used the iPad for a bit, I'd like to see if it could replace my iPod. I've Googled around and I can see how to change Apple IDs on the iPad, but not set up two different IDs for use with the App Store and iTunes. Please can anyone enlighten me?

You can use one ID for iTunes/App Store and a different one for iMessage/Facetime. However, you can't use a different ID for the iTuens Store and the App Store as, bascially, they are the same store.

However, now I have need to use different apple id on both apple devices. I mean, Now, I want to use/reset iphone5S with my new apple id. Can somebody guide me to achive the same ?

Sign out of all services which require Apple ID sign in
FaceTime and Messages
iCloud
iTunes and App Store.
If you have data from the cloud enabled, when deleting the iCloud account, choose to keep on iphone. This will allow you to sign in with the new Apple ID and upload to icloud.

HT1937 My brother has just updated his iPhone, it's now not accepting either his password or apple id to update apps, any ideas how to fix this?

My brother has just updated his iPhone, it's now not accepting either his password or apple id to update apps, any ideas how to fix it?

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?

When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my account keeps popping up on his phone. How can we change the ID on his phone?

When my husband and I first bought our iPhones, I was the only one with an Apple ID (since he never used iTunes). He used my apple id to get apps. Now he has his own ID, but my apple ID email address keeps popping up on his phone when he tries to download an app. We do not want to have all of the same apps on our phones. How can we change the ID on his phone? I already tried going to Settings>iTunes &App Store> and changing the Apple ID to his account email and that did not solve the problem. To make things worse, I recently changed my Apple ID email address (without getting a new ID) and I do not remember my old password (and this is the address that is popping up on his phone). He does not have any music on his phone and all of the Apps that he has are free. Any help you could offer would be great (-:

All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

I have 1Mac computer running Lion. Can I set up 'find my iPhone' and 'find my iPad' if both those devices use different Apple ID's than the Mac does? As in can I set up 'find device' for my husband's iPhone and my daughters iPad?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, but you can log into any of their accounts on your computer at iCloud.com and see their devices.
