When I attempt to download from the app store, the wrong apple id pre-populates. How do I get the correct apple id to auto-fill so I can put in the right password and download apps?

When my wife bought this ipad 18 months ago, she (or the store) set up an Apple ID that had the extension @me.com. She never wrote down the password that was created. Neither of us knew how to change the password and retrieve or create the new one. When we started actually trying to download apps, this became a problem. She called customer support before the first year of ownership ended, and they created a new Apple ID. This ID works; we can go to the support site and log in with it, yada yada. However, when I go to the app store and want to get a new app or update an existing app, the Apple ID login field prepopulates with her original ID, which is no good to us. I can't find any way of putting in the new, valid Apple ID in this login field. Why doesn't the app store give me the option to change the Apple ID this device wants to use? How do I change this setting? I'm in a time crunch, and we need to be able to download and use a few apps for some business purposes.

settings -> iTunes & App Store
click on apple ID listed there
select Sign Out
sign in with the proper account
from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

My App Store Icon is stuck in Newsstand. How do I get it out and back on to home screen? Have tried via itunes to move it and also swipping it - just won't come out.

Is this in the US store? How much is the credit that you have on your account? How much does the app cost?
The US store prices do not include the local sales taxes added in the final steps of the sale. If you do not have enough credit to cover the total the system asks for a credit card to cover the remaining balance.

HT1977 I don't have the App Store installed on my iPod Touch. How do I get it on there in order to put games and other apps on???

I've tried going through several outlets, I cannot seem to figure out how to install the actual icon/program (the Apps Store) onto my iPod Touch. All I have on there is iTunes, Safari--and the bare minimum that it came with . I'm trying to install the App Store onto my iPod Touch so that I can sync games onto it--and try to use it to its fullest potential....Please help?

- You need at least iOS 2 for apps. Go to Settings>General>About>version to find the iOS version. If you have a 1G iPod you can get the last update for that model here:
Identifying iPod models
-- The app store can also be hidden by Restrictions. Go to Settings>general>Restrictions to check
- Have you used the Spotlight search, maybe you just can't find it.

I have just downloaded ios7 to my iphone4.   Now none of my apps are showing as icons on my home screen.    What should I do?    This didn't happen when I updated my iPad.

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

My candy crush app disappeared from my iPhone 5. I search for it and it's not there but the App Store says I still have it. How do I get it back?

I have tried syncing and re syncing and nothing. I've tried holding the home and top button and doing a hard shut down and nothing. I can't think of anything else to do.

Does a spotlight search on the device indicate the app is installed?
Is the app selected to sync in iTunes?
