- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Why can't I update any apps? When I hit update it gives me an old id. But in settings my new id is totally set and verified. How cam I make the change in App Store?

    App purchases are permanently tied to the ID with which they were purchased. They cannot be transferred to a new ID.
    You will have to enter the password for that ID or delete the apps and re-purchase them with the new one.

  • HT1311 How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID

    How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID. I have apps that I got for free, and some that I have purchased. I had to create a new Apple ID because I don't have a credit card now.

    Apps will always be tied to the ID in which they were purchased or downloaded under. You can not change this unless you buy or download the free  app using the new ID.

  • Why can't I update/ download apps from the app store after upgrading to iOS 7.0.3?

    I have an iphone 5 and updated my phone to the lastest version (ios 7.0.3) last night. I can't download/ update any apps from the app store using my cellular network.  The only error message is that the app cant be downloaded at this time. As soon as I click the download button, the image of the icon shows up with "Waiting" underneath the icon.  I tried tapping on the app icon to pause the download but that isn't working. I have disabled Wi-Fi setting and enabled"the use cellular data" option in the itunes and app store setting page.  Memory is not an issue because I have a lot of memory available.  In the cellular setting page the App Store is enabled to use cellular data.  It seems like it is a setting issue.  What can be done to fix this problem

    Thanks for your suggestion.  Not long ago before I saw your response I tried to download the app and I seemed to have some progress (I had 5 bars and 1x). It looked it was 3/4 of the download complete only to have the same error message. 
    Since then I reset the phone and I have tried downloading the app when there 5 bars with 3g.  Every time the icon has waiting underneath it and I get the same error message. 

  • Why can't I update my apps from my iTunes on Mac?

    So I have 16 apps on my iPhone that needs to be updated. I have limited internet access on my iPhone so I can't update my apps from there. So, I have to update my apps via iTunes on my Mac. However, when I clicked "16 Updates Available" at the bottom part of the apps window, it led me to a window saying "No updates are currently available. To check updates for another Apple ID, sign in with that Apple ID".
    Why is this happening?
    I need to update my apps and I have re-checked my Apple ID numerous times to make sure the correct one is associated.

    If you are getting the bank white screen in the updates tap - There is a problem with Apple’s servers that only they can fix.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    This is a workaround only and not a fix. If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    Select update on the Apps
    Another option is to update your apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the updated apps to the iPad.
    1. Launch iTunes
    2. Click on Apps in the list under the Library heading in the left Sidebar.
    Click on Updates at the top in the window on the right
    Update all of the apps
    Connect your iPad and Sync with iTunes
    If you do not see the sidebar in iTunes 11 - go to View>Show Sidebar from the iTunes menu at the top.
    You can also try closing the App Store on the iPad and reboot the device and see if that fixes your problem.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • TS1702 why can't i update the app more than 50mb from itune but can throught wifi?

    I tried to update Apps more than 50mb through itune, but found the Apps which are needed to be update are mark "Downloaded" in iTune store.  Of course if the Apps mark "Downloaded" are not able to do anything with it.  On the other hand, I can simply use wifi to update the Apps, more than 50mb, throught my iphone instead of iTune.  Is there any problem with iTune or something wrong with my phone?

    In the App section of your itunes library ( NOT the sync pages) there is a button at the bottom which says Check for updates

  • Why can't i update my apps

    I tried to update my apps after installing Mountain Lion, but I keep getting this error: "You have updates available for other accounts. To update this application, sign into the account yolu used to purchase it."
    Why do I have this error?    

    Do you have more than one Apple ID? As sig says, it should be the name (email account) and password that you use to log into these forums. If you need to change your Apple ID, visit http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/.
    Good luck,

  • Why can I not update google app

    I deleted my 3.2.1 google search app and now cannot download new 4.1.1 google search app on my iPad mini. What is the problem?

    When I click on google app in the apple App Store, the download box appears but where it normally has the word install it's blank. There is nowhere to click to tell it to install. Another google app is the same way.

  • HT204053 I have changed my Apple ID due to cancellation of my old email address. Now I can't download updates for apps under old ID. Why, when all settings have been changed on all my devices & in iTunes.

    Why after changing my apple Id can I not down load updates to my devices. I've changed all settings to new Id & even tried to do updates through iTunes but keeps referring back to previous Id which had to be cancelled due to email address change. Please help me find a solution to this problem. thanks.

    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with the new ID.  However, app updates for your apps purchased with your older ID will always ask for the password for this ID.  (Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.)

  • Why can't I update an app on my iPad?  I get an error message saying  redonload unavailable with this apple id because either it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled..what can I do?

  • Why can i not update my apps on a ipad3, only get white screen

    3 days ago, my IPad3 said I had a update, but when I hit the update button went to a blank white screen. Now i have 10, same problem.

    Apple servers seem to be having a meltdown over the past few days.  We just have to be patient. 
    However, you can still update using itunes then sync to the device.  I'm doing that as I type.

  • HT201303 Why can't I update the apps I purchased?

    I need to update my apps

    Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again
    If that doesnt work - go to Settings>General>Date and Time - set the date ahead by a few months. Try to update again. If you get an error message of any kind - go back and change the date and time to automatic again. Then try again.
    If that doesn't work, restart your router and reboot the iPad.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Unable to download application...why can't I update my apps?

    I have about 10 updates that just won't load. I use this for business and need some of them. Anyone have a clue?

    Cannot Update
    1. Check iTunes and see if you have a pending/stalled download e.g. Podcast, Books, Music, Movies or iTune U. Finish off the download and you should be able to update.
    2. Check for Updates (bottom right) in iTune. When download is completed, sync to iPad.
