Wrong apple id for apps

The Apple Id that I am using for the i-Tunes store is properly reflected in the phone as an email address.  When I try to update apps on the phone, I am prompted to enter a password.  I noticed on the login screen that the Apple ID has been truncated to only include the name prior to the "@sbcglobal.net."  I enter the password anyway and it does not recognize the Apple ID or password.  What setting is changed so that the ID uses the full e-mail address for app updates?  I have attempted to sign out and log back in but the username for apps does not change. 

It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID.

  • HT204053 Wrong Apple ID for App Store/iTunes shows on iPhone

    I've changed my Apple ID on all my devices to the same ID, but when I try to update apps or purchase new ones on my iPhone my old @me address keeps showing up rather than my new one. What do I do to fix that?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    However if the Apple ID you are going to change to is a new account and not simply a change of address, then you will be unable to update any of your older content on your mobile device.

  • Iphone using wrong apple id for updates

    This has been working in the past but today it is not. I have updated to iOS software 7.1 (11D167) but I don't know if that caused this problem. I only know that I have successfully installed software updates in the past but when I tried today I could not.
    I have 5 apps showing as needing updates. They are Bing Search, Lose It!, Yellow Pages and Ancestry. When I try to update all or even each one individually, it prompts me to sign in to iTunes Store and asks for the apple ID password and shows my apple id. What is showing is a very old ID and not my full email address. When I put my apple ID password in it does not recognize it.
    I then decided to try and install a new app and see if the app store would have the correct apple ID. When I selected to install the new app, it prompted me for my apple ID password and had the correct apple ID (my full email address showing). I entered my apple ID and the install proceeded successfully.
    I saw on another post that there might be old apple IDs in settings for messages, itunes store, etc. so I checked those settings and all of them have my correct full email address for the apple ID.
    What's mostly frustrating is that these apps were free to start with so why do I have to enter in a password at all for the updates?
    Does anyone know why my phone has reverted to an old apple ID for app updates only, and why now when it was working before? Is there a way I can get apple to destroy any reference to my old unused (and now unacceptable format) apple ID so that it won't pop up to haunt me again?
    Thanks for any guidance...

    Delete the apps from the phone and re-download or re-purchase them with the ID you intend to use.

  • HT204161 Wrong Apple ID for iCloud on my iPhone. How do I change it?

    When I set up my replacement iphone, I entered the wrong Apple ID for iCloud. How do I change it?

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  This deletes the account and your synced data from your phone, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.

  • 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.

    on my iphone 5 ios8, i have an apple id for App store and a defferent id for Icloude. i forgot the pw for the icloude id. how can i reset or delete icloude ?

    Greetings chaimba216,
    After reviewing your post, I located an article that can help with resetting your iCloud password:
    iCloud: Change your iCloud password
    Your iCloud password protects the privacy of the information (such as your email) stored in iCloud. Your password also protects your ability to locate or remotely erase your device using Find My iPhone. You should regularly change your iCloud password to protect your information. Your iCloud password is the password for the Apple IDyou use to sign in to iCloud.
    Important: If you use the same Apple ID for iCloud as you do with other Apple services such as the Apple Online Store, iTunes Store, App Store, or to purchase products in iPhoto or Aperture, changing your iCloud password also changes your password for these services. Make sure you sign in to those locations using your new password.
    Go to the My Apple ID website (appleid.apple.com) and follow the instructions to reset your Apple ID password.
    For more information, see the Apple Support article Apple ID: Changing your password.
    After changing your iCloud password, make sure you update it on all your devices and in any email apps you use to get your iCloud email.
    On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > iCloud, then tap your iCloud account.
    On a Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
    On a Windows computer: Open iCloud for Windows.
    In your email apps: Check the help provided for the email apps you’re using.
    If you set up iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, make sure to set up a passcode lock on your device for added security. (Go to Settings > Passcode or Touch ID & Passcode.)
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • 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

  • I have put a wrong Apple id for signing in for icloud

    I have put a wrong Apple id for signing in for icloud (one word missing from my real id) on my iphone 5. Therefore, it was never verified and I cannot delete the account as well. Every time I switch on the phone it asks for the password. I tried to change the apple id but it didn't help. Still the icloud works with the wrong e-mail address. Is there any way to solve this problem?

    Thank you for answering my question. But the iphone does not allow me to delete the icloud account. It says it needs the password. I changed the password several times, it did not help. It doesn't accept the password as the icloud account is not verified.(How can it be verified as its the wrong e-mail address?) I tried to change apple Id but it didn't help as well. I simply have run out of options now.

  • Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

    Why does Apple charge for Apps that are FREE? That's my concern.

    Free means Free....
    As both Johnathan and Demo have indicated, if it says Free there is no charge associated with it. If you upgrade to a "Pro" version, or if you do in-app purchases, then it is no longer free....but when you initially install the app, you do not pay anything if it says "Free".
    And "Yeah? I'll show you" does not help us to understand what you are talking about. If you want help, then provide specifics and we will help you to figure out your misunderstanding.

  • Wrong Apple ID in App Store on iMac

    Hi there. I went to upgrade some apps and realized that the wrong Apple ID is there (my daughter's). It's greyed out so that I can't type my Apple ID over top. Is there a way for me to get rid of her ID so I can type mine in?
    Thanks!

    That's what's weird. This is my computer, and I have no idea why her ID is in there. I just want to access my apps and update my computer.
    Thanks for your quick replies.
