Will not let me update apps or add any and says account is disabled

I had to change id due to my old account kept coming up disabled and now it keeps switching between accounts and it wont let me update any apps or add any. I previously had more apps but deleted them due to not enough storage for an ios update and now cant update or add any apps

Creating a new account because the old one was disabled was the wrong thing to do. It means that all content purchased with the old account can never be updated, because content is tied forever to the account that was used to purchase or download it. The correct solution was to find out why the old account was disabled and correct the problem.

    Hello aweirandyski.1975,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device.  You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.

  • HT204266 Will not let me update apps

    My iPad shows I need to update 6 apps, when I select it to update it says cannot connect to app store.. But I can get online to get new apps to download if I want.. But will not let me update???

    Have you tried closing the app in the Task Bar?
    1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
    2. Hold the App Store app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close the App Store
    4. Re-launch and try again

  • My ipod will not let me download apps from the device and when i do it on itunes they wont sync either...

    My ipo will not let me download apps or sync them either.

    There are a million ppl having this problem right now and it seems like Apple is ignoring it. It's been real bad since May, even worse that last week or so. Basically all we can do is sit and wait to see what excuse or help, if any, will be given. I've used a Walmart pre-paid card and I'm sorry, but who really incorrectly types a 3 digit number a million times?! Also my account is saying I owe iTunes $40 for in-app purchases. Bull!! My card sends me a balance twice a day via text and because of this, I know what, where, and how my money is being spent. Also it's pre-paid, how can you have an over draft?!?! Here's a real kicker though...my card balance is in the positive!!! Hmmm, obviously not a fault on my part, the part of my card, nor my iPod. It's all in the system!!!

  • Ok, I have changed the names of my iPads to each be different- but no matter what I do, the Apple ID comes up the old email address on the old iPad and will not let me update Apps, purchase , etc,

    I have used your info to give my two iPads different names. My problem is that my old iPad still has the old email in the Apple ID pop up so it will not let me sign in. I checked my info in the manage my account page and there is my email as primary, which allows me to sign in for apps, etc on the newiPad air, but when I try to update or buy an App on the old iPad, the old email is in the pop up and will not let me sign in.
    How do I change the email in the old iPad to match the new iPad????
    The Old email is on my manage my account page as a verified ALTERNATE email.

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    Have you created a new account or updated your existing account ? All content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, so if you have created a new account then all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account.
    If you've updated your existing account then try tapping on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and log out of it and then log back in with the updated id so as to 'refresh' the account on it.

  • HT1296 My email address has changed. I have successfully amended it on my computer in Apple iTunes but my iphone 4s and my iPad still show the old email address when requesting the password and will not let me update Apps. Please can anyone advise me what

    My email provider has changed and I have a new one.
    I amended this on my computer under my Apple iTunes account without any difficulty and it was authenticated. However, I still have the original email appearing on my iphone 4s and ipad2 and I cannot update that information. Neither can I use my usual password to update my Apps.  Please can anyone assist me with simple instructions on how to change these important passwords?  Thankyou in anticipation for reading and hopefully considering a solution.

    Thank you, this has resolved both the iphone and ipad problem immediately.  I am concerned that I may have a problem with apps that I bought under my old  AppleID as they will not be recognised.  Any suggestions for this please?

  • Will not let me update apps!?!

    I can download apps no problem but when it comes to updating i get a window that pops up and says "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" It just started doing it a couple of weeks ago. I put the new update on today hoping it would help but no go.

    It just started doing it a couple of weeks ago.
    And in those couple of weeks have you attempted to contact iTunes Support to find out why your Apple ID has been disabled? If it's for security reasons, wouldn't you be worried that there may be some security issue involving your account, you might need to investigate?
    Maybe someone has gained access to your account and been downloading apps etc. all courtesy of yourself...
    Why would you leave it so long before trying to find out what's happened?

  • Apple will not let me update my HP Scanner 8300 and will not update it from it's own sources.

    I updated my HP Scanjet 8300 a few weeks ago after I received a message on my computer that updates for printer & scanner were available.  I have had nothing but trouble since then with the scanner.  I also inherited the Trovi virus after that update.
    I tried to update the scanner again today, making sure I went through the HP website for downloads.  I downloaded the update and followed the instructions for proper installation. This included deleting my present software.   When I tried to install the software update that I successfully downloaded, I got a popup with this message:
    "HP Scanjet Update for OS X 10.7.mpkg" can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. "
    Your security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers.
    “HP Scanjet Update for OS X 10.7.mpkg” is on the disk image “HP-Scanjet-Update-for-OS-X-10.7.dmg”. Safari downloaded this disk image today at 10:10 AM from h10025.www1.hp.com.
    I went back to Apple updates and found information that HP no longer updated our HP appliances and that MAC OS X Mountain Lion automatically provided these updates for their Mac users.  I restarted my computer expecting to see improvement, but now my scanner is completely gone from my computer and no updates are available.   I am outraged that Apple would completely disable my scanner.  I use it all the time. 
    I really need help.  Please!
    I originally installed the scanner when I had Snow Leopard.   I now have Mountain Lion - not because I didn't like Snow Leopard, but because I had my computer repaired and they installed Mountain Lion.

    I am sorry for the delay in answering.  TWC email sometimes takes several days to get to me.
    I am embarrassed to say that I did not read closely the message that was provided when I clicked on Control Clicked / Open.  I did go back and continue the process and thought I had installed the update.  The end message stated that the installation was successful, but I could not find the scanner anywhere, even with intense searching.  I have reinstalled it twice again with no scanner installed.  I did find files in the Saved Application State but they take only a few KBs of space and the software should have taken 22.4 MBs.
    I have messages now posted in two different HP Communities and will continue to try that route to help, but right now it looks dismal.  If you have any more explanations or advice I would love hearing from you.  Could the Trovi component cause this problem?  I thought I was rid of it but I don't really know what to look for other than not having it take over my home page - which it has not done recently.
    I really appreciate your help, and I take your advice to heart about not using the older CD and I will not attempt to revert to Snow Leopard.  I am really afraid it would mess up iPhoto  and that would be devastating.

  • HT5622 When I try to update my apps in the App Store it says sign in required and will not let me update then

    When I try to update my apps it says sign in required and will not let me update them

    I suspect you have apps that need updating that were purchased from more than one account
    - 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.

    but when I want to download apps actualize asks me to ios 5

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

  • I have a older MacBook I upgraded memory two 3 gb from its original two but it still will not let me update from snow leopard to maverick I have plenty of available ram does anyone know why

    I believe it is running an older version of maverick it is 10.6.8 but it will not let me update any further . I added 3gb of ram to upgrade from the original 2gb it came with but still no updates are being allowed Does anyone have any idea why this is ? I am sure the criteria for the upgrade is available so I don't know why I can not up date it?

    10.6.8 is Snow Leopard.
    Run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:

    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
