Why my iPad requires apple id for app updates coming from iTunes?

This also applies to my iPhone, but basically since the last time I changed my Apple ID password, everytime I use the sync-with-iTunes process to update app's that have been downloaded to iTunes first, the iPad and iPhone both ask for my Apple ID password. The Apple ID is correct, and I have checked all saved passwords in both devices are correct, but when I sync I still get asked for my Apple ID password which previously never happened, and so to my knowledge is not supposed to be happening.
Any ideas?

This is also happening to apps being installed through "Automatic Downloads" which is on for both devices.

  • How do I change my apple ID for apps update?

    My apple ID for apps update differs from my usual apple ID. How do I match them so that I can update the apps (refuses my password)

    I am using the apple ID that I want but my iphone asks me for the old apple ID's password to update the apps and I don't know what to enter since what I enter, prompts a message that says that my password is less than a year old and I need a new one. I don't want the iphone ID but the iTune ID instead

  • Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    Why can't I see reviews for app updates on iPad 3rd gen since iOS 7 update?

    AAfter an hour with Apple chat, I figured out what to do on my own.  When the iPhone and iPad go to autolock, press home key and do not open- streaming will be on the screen and I turned it back on.  No more stops.

  • Apple ID for app updates does not match new Apple ID cannot get updates

    Can someone tell me how to get the Apple ID for app updates to match new changed Apple ID?
    I can get new apps with new ID but not updates....old ID shows up and will not accept password.

    Your advice is to change my Apple ID again?
    No I gave you a link to try to get a new password to work with the old Apple ID.
    And are you saying that I will not be able to access any updates for apps that were acquired under the original Apple ID and password?
    I am saying that the only way to update apps acquired with the old Apple ID is with the old Apple ID. You cannot update them with a new Apple ID.

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • Why the ipad ranking is missing for few days in some itunes stores ?

    Are you aware of some modification in the itunes store concerning ipad ? As I am spending marketing money to promote ipad app. I need this ranking.
    Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for your help! Yes, they are available but in the German iTunes Store only. Some older songs are available even in the US iTunes Store, but not the new songs from those German artists mentioned above.
    I cannot provide a German billing/paying info because I live in California. I would like to switch over to the German iTunes store to buy the albums available there, however, I do have a German iTunes Card but you still need to provide a valid card (visa,master card etc) to purchase songs from the German iTunes Store (I wish the German iTunes gift card itself  would be enough, this would make everything easy for many people).
    Please help me out and do I need to create a new Apple ID associated ONLY with the German iTunes Store?
    Thanks,

  • How to change apple id for app updates

    The user id that displays on my ipod is correct on the settings menu but when I try to update my apps, the apple id that displays (and wants a password) is one that I no longer use.  How can I change the apple id for this one function to my current correct one?  I've tried poking around all the settings and can't find where to change it.  Once it is changed, I can then use my regular password.   Thanks!

    Hi jabsykes,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may have downloaded or purchased applications from two different Apple IDs. To update those applications, you will need to sign in to the Apple ID that downloaded the applications initially. Please use the attached article for instructions on how to sign out and sing in to different Apple IDs on your iOS device.
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

  • Changing default apple id for app update

    When I go into the app store and try to update all, it goes to a different apple id by default.  It says I'm logged into my ID but goes to a different one.  How do I fix this problem?

    Were those apps that have updates originally download by the account that is showing ? If there were then only that account will be able to download updates to those apps, all content from Apple is tied to the account that downloaded it. If they were downloaded by the account that you are logged in as then does that show at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app ?

  • App update available from iTunes, but not from iOS ?

    Found earlier today that one app had an update available on iTunes on my PC (Windows 7) ... while it wasn't available from the app store on my iPhone. The iOS app Store kept showing the old version of that app as the latest. Had to sync the iPhone with iTunes to transfer the update. How can that happen? ... and no my App Store app on iOS is not completely broken, as it keeps giving me updates for all other apps ... so far. Meaning that my Apple ID isn't a problem either.

    On the iPod open the App Store app > Updates > Purchased then redownload. If nothoing shows make sure you are signed in with the same Apple ID that the purchase was made with:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID

  • Has anyone noticed apple tv is not updating content from itunes?

    Also movie list only goes a few letters of the alphabet. i confirm this on three different sets in my area now.

    thanks for the reply.
    for example all hd only goes to b for listed titles.
    They go to c for the selection from the UK store
    it used to go all the way to z. etc.
    Are you sure, how long ago was that.
    What you are seeing is the first 200 movies alphabetically. As the movie selection grows then the list will end nearer the beginning of the alphabet, rather than just showing movies starting with specific letters. It's possible that in the early days, 200 listings would have been sufficient to list all the movies.
    Or are you saying it used to list more than 200 movies before.
    itunes usually goes to get new movies and tv shows each tuesday. but i think this is a slow week for releases and not related.
    i use itunes canada store usually but us store does the same.
    By way of example the latest rental available in the UK via itunes was released on August 3, it is not available via the apple tv, the latest purchase available via itunes was released August 31 and it is available via the tv.
    I originally assumed you were saying that they had stopped adding movies to itms for apple tv but not for itunes, the purchase example above would suggest this wasn't the case.
    Clearly they aren't adding all the movies to itms for the apple tv that they are to itms for itunes, but hasn't this always been the case.
    If you are saying that generally new movies have slowed down for both itms for apple tv and itms for itunes, then I'd agree with you. If you are asking if there is anything significant about this in light of the 'it's only Rock n Roll' announcement tomorrow, then I don't know, you'll need to wait and see.

  • HT201413 INCORRECT/OLD Apple ID for App updates in App Store!

    I am unable to update my Apps. Every time I  select "Update", I am asked to confirm the password for my OLD/PREVIOUS Apple ID which I no longer use. I have already updated all Settings with my new Apple ID, email and information weeks ago...this is the only item that asks for my old ID.

    Content acquired via iTunes is permanently tied to the Apple ID it was acquired with.
    Enter the correct password for the Apple ID that is being prompted.
    The only other option is to delete the content then re-acquire it with the current Apple ID>

  • Removing Apple ID for App Updates

    I am renting an iPad from my college. When I connected it to my Mac I was able to put my apps, music, etc. I was able to get it assoiciated partially  with my iTunes account but, I cannot update apps. The other account is from the loaner departement I got the iPad from. I also made a in-app purchase but I did it on my iPhone because I could not do it on the iPad. Is their any way to get around the orginal iTunes account so I can update apps, and presubly unlock the in-app purched content? Thanks for the replies

    When you want to update apps, you have to use the ID that was used to purchases the apps. Purchases are always tied to the ID used to make the purchases. That means that you have to sign into the other ID in order to update those apps. Settings>iTunes & App Store. Tap your ID and sign out! then sign in with the other ID.
    What you do not want to do is download previously purchased apps with the other ID because then you will associate the pad with that ID and lock yourself out of your own ID for 90 days.
    Were you trying to make an in app purchase for one of the apps that you purchased with your ID?

  • Apple Id for App updates

    Hello,
    I have a question - my ex boyfriend set up my Iphone when I got it so he used his Apple Id (he has a macbook) but since then we broke up and I hav ecreated my own Apple Id but all of a sudden, my phone is asking me of his Apple Id to update my apps... I have been to my settings and changed the Id in the Itunes Store/App Store section but that didn't change the fact that I still need to input his Apple Id password to be able to update my apps.
    Anyone had the same issue / knows how to resolve this?
    Thank you!

    The apps are attached to the Apple ID used to download them. There is nothing you can do to change that. You could always delete the apps and re-download them with your Apple ID.
    Hope that helps

  • When will Apple have the fix available for the distortion coming from iTunes 11.1.3?

    Does anyone at Apple have any idea when the fix for iTunes 11.1.3 will be released to correct the awful distortion that we have had since last year?  iPhone is perfect but my P.C. is very distorted.  Other media players, You Tube etc. are crystal clear.  Please help.

    Why not contact Apple and ask them?  The Contact Us link at the bottom of this site would be a good place to start.
    No one in these user to user support forums can speak for what Apple may or may not do.  In fact, rumor and speculation are prohibited here per the terms of use.
