User I.d. Wrong in app store

All of a sudden my user name changed in the app store so I can no longer update or purchase apps.  Don't know why or how.  User name did not change anywhere else on the iPad including iTunes etc.  does anyone know how to change the user name in th app store only?

Swipe down to the bottom of the screen in the featured tab of the app store. Your Apple ID is in the lower left corner. Change it in there,

    It could be off line for maintenance - picking slowest time of day.
    It could be off line because of a power failure - even with UPS(uninterrupted power source) they may want to shut down.
    Extreme melting can flood man-holes causing line failures.

  • Is something wrong with App Store?

    I did an update if my Apps and a message came up to accept new terms and conditions for the App Store, which I did, then another message came up staying 'Download now - Skype for iPhone will now begin to download' with an OK button. I tapped on OK but nothing happens, it is 'stuck' - the message will not go away-  so I can't use the App Store!
    Any suggestions?

    iOS 7 was released at 10 am California time, so Apple's servers are likely overloaded with a billion people world-wide trying to download the update and the update to 1000s of apps for iOS 7 and the update to the new version of iTunes required to use iOS 7 and the updated apps.

  • User ID Not Recognized in App Store after Migrating to new Mac

    I migrated to a new Mac using Migration Assistant being careful to create an identical user account on the new Mac. All went fine. When it came time to update apps through MAS, some apps updated and some would not (e.g. Pixelmator) and MAS tells me "You have updates available for other accounts" and asks me to log out and sign in as another user – but the user name is exactly the same as my current user name. There is definitely only one user account on the Mac, so what is going on?

    Cracked it – thanks. The message that MAS displays is not clear and looks like it's referring to User Name. Also MAS does not have a Preferences dialog where you would normally enter Account/Apple ID details, but it's under the Store menu item – confusing.

  • How do you change your user name associated with the app store on the iphone 3G. When attempting to update, it is using an old email address that has since been changed at the apple site. The problem is that my phone does not seem to recognize this.

    I have exausted my ideas, and turn to the forum, prior to paying for something that may be a 2second simple fix. Please help if you can. Let me know if you need more info to understand my dilema.
    Thanks.

    Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.  You will always be asked for the password associated with this ID when updating apps, regardless of whether or not you are using this ID for current purchases.  The only way to stop this is to delete the old apps from your phone and iTunes and repurchase them with your current ID.
    Edit: to change the ID used for future purchases on your phone, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID.  As explained above, you will still be prompted with the old ID when updating apps purchase with the older ID.

  • HT4208 App store user interface language

    Recently, the user interface language of the App Store turned from German to Japanese. How can I set it back to German?

    The iTunes and App store will usually only display the language of the country you made the subscription I can only down load from Japan iTunes and sometimes they do not have Apps or what ever but someties it depends on you language prefferences too ,it is quite annoying and confusing I use Finnish and English Swedish.
    Apple is not altogether internatonal because of international agreements and local protectionism that is why there is no Finnish dictionary and spell checker
    we are bound by the laws of the country we live in at the present and Apple and any other company does not want us to mixit up ,but they the internationalists Capitalists can do this  like make Apple pruducts in China cheap labour.
    yet it took years for Chinese to get Apple products ! Apple Japan is not very popular beause Japanese do not like the translations of Japanese by Nissei Japanese who live in the US!
    Look at all the language preferences  in Apple OSX they do nothing I use about 5 languages and find a total mix up my keyboard does not know what I am using better to have different computers install different language.

  • Fleet phones: Why must each user have their own App Store account?

    I've purchased roughly 25 iPhones for my employees and am trying to lumber through the tedious process of managing these as fleet assets.  There are a handful of mission-critical apps I'd like to deploy.  I've signed up with an MDM platform (Bushel).  I've enrolled in both of Apple's fleet programs (VPP and DEP).  And, still, I'm running into precisely the obstacle I'm needing to get around:  the requirement that every user has their own individual App Store account, with a Credit Card number on file, etc.
    Why must this be?  These are company-owned phones.  Most of my employees are unionized and, quite frankly, the union is none too happy about the nature of the apps I'm deploying (which have to do with GPS tracking and time/attendance).  I simply cannot require my union employees to sign up for an account in their names and require a credit card number.
    Even lowly Blackberry figured this out a long time ago.  If Apple is going after more fleet business, they need to become more fleet friendly.

    I did some searches before my post, but actually found some things AFTER I made my post that sounded encouraging. If I understand correctly, we should be able to continue sharing the AppleID we use to buy apps and music on all of our devices. We can configure our personal devices and computers to use separate personal iCloud accounts, but somehow share the music and apps with each other. I guess I'm still not clear on how it'll work. :-)

  • Localization problem: Traditional Chinese is not working for Taiwan App Store

    I have published an app that has three languages:
    (1) English (as Primary)
    (2) Simplified Chinese
    (3) Traditional Chinese
    I expect I can see Simplified Chinese in China App Store and Traditional Chinese in Taiwan App Store.
    I found out it works well for Simplified Chinese case.
    However, for Traditional Chinese, it's always English in Taiwan App Store. I have tried so many devices (with language setting to Traditional Chinese). I even went to a local Internet Cafe (so all computers are with Traditional Chinese setting), it's still English for Taiwan App Store.
    From iTunes Connect, when I go to "Version Summary" where I can change the "Territory" there. I always see English for Taiwan Territory while it's always Simplified Chinese when China is selected.
    From all the experiments I've done, I really think there is something wrong in App Store or iTunes to link Traditional Chinese with Taiwan App Store.
    How to report this kind of bug to Apple & have them examine this issue?

    Unfortunately you have already done everything we can possibly instruct you to do.. at this point the only option is getting them to exchange it its under warranty its not working you have to get a exchange

  • What does it mean when I get "there was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"?

    What does it mean when I get “there was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)”?

    Sign out of the Mac App Store via the Store menu
    Quit the Mac App Store
    Log out of your Mac OS X user account (from the Apple menu)
    Log back in to your user account
    Launch the Mac App Store, sign in, and try downloading again
    You should be able to download any app trouble free now. If you still have problems, reboot your Mac.

  • What are my options if I do not want to use App Store for distribution of my Enterprise App?

    We are developing an App that is tailormade for a limited number of our customers only. The app is for free.
    Currently we ship it through the App Store but the main issue is that the reaction times are too high. If we need to provide a fix it has to be pushed to our clients ASAP without having to wait for review.
    If we sign up for an Enterprise Dev licence, we get 5000 installations "for free". The questions that arise:
    Is it allowed to use those licences to distribute the app to customers or can they be used for our own employees only?
    How are the 5000 devices managed? Do we have to keep track of all of them, create new provisioning profiled and need to rebuild the app and sign it with a new certificate everytime a device gets added/removed?
    I found that there is way for third party software disttribution: http://www.apple.com/business/vpp/
    It has a dead link that would probably show a way to deploy apps the way we want it: https://developer.apple.com/appstore/resources/volume/
    What I' really looking for in short:
    I can fix the app, make a new build and upload that to one of our servers.
    Our servers ensure that only selected users can access the app installation bundle.
    Who ever gains access to the bundle should be able to install it, no matter if his device has been "registered" in some way or not.
    It is okay if the users will have to install a provisioning profile to their devices, as long as that profile is "dynamic", meaning that nobody has to add or remove devices manually.
    Can somebody comment if there is a solution for that?
    Thanks
    René

    If you are in the Enterprise program, apps can be distributed only to that company's employees. If you want to distribute to customers in general, you would have to be a member of the normal iOS developer program and either use ad-hoc distribution for up to 100 users, or go through the App Store. There are no other options I'm aware of, though you can contact Apple Developer Support through your membership resources and ask.
    Regards.

  • [iPhone] How to create an app store link that generates a search query?

    Does anyone know how to create a link to the app store that will bring the user directly to a search results page? I've noticed that there is a free application called "Art Gallery" that contains a menu option that will take you to other games from the same developer. Upon clicking this option, the user is taken directly to app store on the phone and the search field at the top has the company name in it.
    I'd like to be able to create a similar link for my game. I would normally just send the user to a website with iTunes links to all my games, but that functionality is currently broken on firmware 2.1. I've searched all over these forums and the Apple documentation to find the answer, but so far everything seems to suggest that the only ways to generate app store links are to 1.)use the iTunes link generator tool or 2.)right click a link in iTunes and copy the URL.
    Neither of the above methods seem to work for generating a URL that will actually search the store. I've also tried getting an artist link for my developer name, but the link doesn't work when I try launching it on the device. Has anyone solved this problem?

    you can try using an actionscript class like purePDF (http://www.sephiroth.it/weblog/archives/2010/02/purepdf_a_complete_actionscript_pdf_l.php) or use server-side code like fpdf (www.fpdf.org).

  • Why does Lion OS appears as available to download in app store and is already installed in my computer?

    I checked the software status and says 10.7.3
    Eventhough in the app store appears as available to "download".
    Should I dowload it again?
    Thanks...

    Fair enough...I just like backup copies of things
    The latest release is 10.7.3 so you do not need to download and install anything.  Is the app store telling you other apps need to be updated?  Garageband and iTunes, for instance?
    There have been some users seeing glitches in the app store recently saying to download what was already downloaded.  I would just update any apps it offers at this point.
