When updating Apps on iphone, it tries to force log-in with old expired email address

A few months ago, I switched my iphone from an address that I was expiring to another more permanent address. There is no longer any reference to this old expired email address on my iphone. Additionally, I have been able to update my apps through the Apple store when the iphone is plugged into the PC... just fine. However, when I try to update my apps via the iphone (not plugged into the PC), the iPhone prompts for a login to the store--displaying the old expired email address (which is not editable in that prompt) and a field for me to enter the password for that expired email. I have checked all the settings on my iphone and I can't find where on the phone to change the email that is displayed in the password prompt. Could someone please tell me where I can change this? Thanks!
Also, software details: It's still using 3.1.3 software. I don't know if this 'password  issue' was common with that release or not, but I thought I'd mention it. (And please don't ask me to upgrade the software--as every time I tried to install a new software update (any update), the status bar barely moves 5% forward and then it permanently hangs.)

You can't chage this.  What's going on is that apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, and all future updates will require you to enter the password associated with this ID, even if you are not currently using this ID for purchases.  The only way to stop the prompt for your older ID would be to delete these apps from your phone and your iTunes library and repurchase them using your current ID.

  • Wrong apple ID when updating apps on iphone 4s

    I just got a replacement iphone 4s which I then updated to the new ios 7. Now I have several apps that need to be updated but it keeps asking for my password to an old apple id. I have no way of accessing the old id through email and my new id is signed in on both my computer as well as my iphone under the itunes store and icloud. I have tried signing in and out with no sucess and I have rebooted my phone. Not sure what to do next.

    All apps are forever tied to the ID used to obtain them & can only be updated using that ID. If you can no longer use that ID to update them, then you'll have to delete them, then purchase them again using your new ID.
    You could also contact iTunes support, explain the situation & request they add these apps to the download queue of your new ID.

  • Cannot download/update Apps from iPhone 4. Able to log in to iTunes Store

    Here is the skinny,
    I cannot download apps or update from my iPhone. It gives me a warning "Cannot download this app. Please use the Itunes Store from the computer." I am able to connect to iTunes on the iPhone, but just cannot download anything. From my computer (Pc/Mac) I can download apps, but it's annoying that I have to sync to update my apps.
    This happens when I am on both wifi/3G. I've reseted my phone's network setting.
    I've been searching around and I do not have shipwreck or sylvian game thing.
    Thank you

    I have the same problem too, I can't download updates on my iPhone or on iTunes, I can't sign in to my Apple account after I logged out, I tried changing my Password but nothing has changed. When I turn off my iPhone and try to long on to my account in the App Store, it says "Cannot Access (acc email). Review your account information in Settings."
    What's going on? I still can't access my Apple account on iTunes.

  • I cannot get my password reset to start using iphone. Tried website and asked to send to my email address /also my user id and nothing coming. i called 800-275-2273 and guy said apple having issues no est time of fix?

    I cannot get my password reset on apple itunes to start using my iphone. Tried website to reset password and asked to send email/same as user. Never getting email. Tried with my birthdate but that is not accepting. Called apple 8002752273 and guy told me Apple has had problems with this for weeks. Nothing he could do for me - i could answer all his security questions but birthdate. He said send a letter to itunes help , he could not provide. Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me? I checked itunes an of course there was not itunes email help available.  Anyone have email for customer relations or phone# or know how to fix this?

    "Could be weeks before anyone gets back to me?"
    Where did you get that nonsense?  Your involved question sounds like a hoax.  Regardless, the phone number for Apple Customer Relations is: 800-767-2775.

  • Trying to bring back records with and without email address

    I have a simple query where I am trying to pull back all of my active subscribers and their email addresses. Most of the subscribers do not have email address but I still want those subscribers in my results. I figure it is a simple join but I can not figure it out. The discus.ems table contains only email addresses and their corresponding RRN's(Acct#'s). The SQL is pasted below. I am using SQL Developer 1.5.5
    select
    a.STREET_NBR ||' '||
    rtrim(substr(a.STREET,33,2)) ||' '||
    rtrim(substr(a.STREET,1,28)) ||' '||
    rtrim(substr(a.STREET,29,4)) ||' '||
    rtrim(substr(a.STREET,35,2)) ADDRESS1,
    trim(a.UNIT_NBR) APT,
    a.CITY_NAME CITY,
    a.STPV_CODE STATE,
    a.ZIP_CODE ZIP,
    b.email_addr
    from
    discus.sub a,
    discus.ems b
    where
    a.siteid = 'SUN' and
    b.siteid = 'SUN' and
    a.rrn = b.sub_rrn and
    a.stat_flag in ('E','C','I','V')

    For just one column, you could easily do a scalar subquery:
    select a.STREET_NBR ||' '||
           rtrim(substr(a.STREET,33,2)) ||' '||
           rtrim(substr(a.STREET,1,28)) ||' '||
           rtrim(substr(a.STREET,29,4)) ||' '||
           rtrim(substr(a.STREET,35,2)) ADDRESS1,
           trim(a.UNIT_NBR) APT,
           a.CITY_NAME CITY,
           a.STPV_CODE STATE,
           a.ZIP_CODE ZIP,
           (select b.email_addr
            from   ems b
            where  b.sub_rrn = a.rrn
            and    b.siteid = 'SUN'
           ) email
    from   sub a
    where  a.siteid = 'SUN'
    and    a.stat_flag in ('E','C','I','V')
    ;

  • 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.

  • Trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings

    trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings. What am I to do?

    The storage you purchased is in the cloud, and doesn't do anything with your pad.  Your problem is simply that you have too much content on your pad.   Go to settings, general, usage, and it will show you how much space you have avaliable on your pad.  If you let the screen sit for a while, all the apps will be displayed, and you can see how much stuff you have associated with each.
    You have to no option but to delete some of the content on your pad.  Videos, comics, pitcures and some music files use a lot of space.   The cloud allows you to leave stuff there, so you can get it when you need it.

  • Only when updating apps, my user ID is wrong  for iphone 4   How do I change it?

    ONLY when updating apps on my iphone 4 is the user ID incorrect; all other areas list the correct user ID.  I have tried several things, but can't get it to let me change the user ID.  Help!

    You must have purchased these apps under another ID. The only resolution, if you don't know the password to that ID, is to delete and re-download/purchase the apps. They are forever tied to the original ID and cannot be transferred.

  • Why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?

    why does my iphone come up with a different email when updating apps?

    thx

    p.s. not updating to iOS6 yet

    I'm sorry Allan, I should have clarified, your answer is improbable (well the first part atleast).
    The apps I have had since the first week of purchase of my iphone back in 2011,  I have not added any apps until 2 months before the last software update.  This starting happening when the new software was implemented but I have not updated to iOS6 yet.  Unless this person was able to hack into my account & transfer them to their account, I do not see how that is possible.
    Prior to seeing this other AppleID, I have a popup to prompt me for my AppleID each time I download content.  Each time I would see mine and enter my password.

  • The wrong user name pops up when I try to update apps on Iphone. Unable to update or change incorrect user name.

    The wrong user name pops up when I try to update apps on Iphone. Unable to update or change incorrect user name.

    It is popping up because you have apps installed that you bought with the old AppleID, you can either delete those apps or buy the apps again using your new Apple ID, if they were free apps then not a big deal, paid apps obviously means you would have to buy them twice.

  • ITunes is very slow when updating apps

    Since a few days iTunes is very slow when updating apps and downloading updates for iPad etc.
    Very often a download is ended with the message server reply time to long.
    I'm running the latest updated version of iTunes on an iMac mid-2010 with latest OS. I have some 3-4 GB out of 12 GB memory free and 70GB free out of 500 GB storage. I have measured my internet connection speed and it is very good 95-98 Mbit/sec.
    I can't see any obvious reason to why iTunes is so slow. Have anyone experienced this? Please help!

    Yes! I have the exact same issue. So I tried some things.
    I am on Uvese (via wifi) and was trying to update the apps on my PC via itunes. Taking FOREVER. So i tired it directly from my iPhone 6 via wifi - same issue. Then I turned off wifi on the iPhone and updated over (ATT) LTE. That worked great. I am thinking it is a Uverse/ATT issue at this point.
