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...

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.

Wrong Apple ID when Updating App in App Store

When I try to update some apps on my iPhone through the App Store, it's requesting the password for the wrong apple ID. The apple ID it is requesting the password for belongs to a family remember.
I tried the following suggested solution:
1) Logout of App Store & iTunes
2) Delete the app that is requesting credential for the wrong apple id when updating
3) Go to App Store and reinstall the app using the correct apple ID
This solution only works temporarily. When in the future if the app has an update again, it's requesting the wrong apple id again.
I think one possible issue could be that I am syncing the iPhone to the same computer that of my family member.
*Please note, do NOT ask me to sync to another computer. This is not possible .All iOS devices in my family are manged, backed up, and sync on one computer.
*My iPhone is iPhone 4S running iOS 7
*Other iOS devices are iOS 8

You'e got a mess on your hands. Let's see if this helps.
First, that app, and possibly others that you might not have noticed, were downloaded with a different Apple ID that the rest of your apps. Of course, apps and other content are forever tied to the apple ID used to purchase or download them. You didn't say where you are deleting the app, but it sounds like you're doing so on the device, but not on the computer. If that's the case, when you sync with the computer, you may be replacing the app on the device with the other from a different Apple ID.
I would suggest deleting the app completely from ALL devices, including the computer. Be sure you are logged in with the Apple ID used to download all the other apps and get it again from the App store through iTunes on your computer. Then sync it back to all devices that use it.
In general, this can now mostly be avoided if all your devices run iOS 8. Read about Family Sharing: http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/

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.

App store will not accept my Apple ID for updates after installing Mavericks?

I have recently installed Mavericks on my Macbook Pro. After installing it the two new updates for iPhoto and iMovie popped up. I click on the 'update' icon and I am prompted for my Apple ID as usual. After entering the correct ID the prompt disappears as if correct, but then re-appears asking for the password again. The prompt does not actually say that the wrong Apple ID or password has been entered. The updates do not install and the prompt remains. I know I have the right ID because I can install other apps using the same ID. I definitley have the right Apple ID. Now I cannot open iPhoto because it says that the application is not compatible with the OS! Has anyone got any tips on how to install these new updates and get around this error? Any help would be appreciated.

Following the info from support I enrolled into something called Mac Up to Date program, then you give them your serial number, invoice, etc... and then they seem to review the information and decide whether you qualify or not. I am still waiting for the answer, but I seem to be eligible (bought my new iMac on the 2nd of October and a few days after it was announced that all new Macs would receive iWork for free, so I guess my computer qualifies as 'new' - it is a late 2013 model after all).
But right now all iWork apps still appear to me as paid apps on the Mac App Store. It would be much easier if they appeared as free apps right away, but it seems the Mac App Store is a bit temperamental. And then there is the problem with the iMovie and iPhoto updates, which some of us are unable to get and that it is not even generally acknowledged by the support staff.
All these issues with the App Store are surprising for a company that takes pride in making things 'easy'

Apple ID for updates

I have two Apple ID 's. On my iPhone, in the settings/store/view apple ID is one of my correct apple ID's. When I click on the App icon and try to update existing apps, the drop down box has the incorrectly spelled apple ID displayed so even if I enter the correct password it does not work. How do I correct the spelling of the apple ID? I have tried to do it in the settings/store/view my apple ID but that does not work. Thanks.

Each app is associated to an Apple ID. When you go to update an app it wants the password for the Apple ID that originally purchased/downloaded that app. You can check the Apple ID for an app in iTunes by selecting the app and choosing Get Info from the File menu.
If the apps are free then you can delete the app and redownload it from the App Store using the Apple ID you want. If they were purchased you have to make a decision of whether you want to repurchase the app or just leave it with the other Apple ID.

Apple ID for Updates and Extra Software

This may seem like dumb questions, but I am a Mac numbie: Do I really need to setup an Apple ID for server updates? And, do all of these user applications need to be here?
OK, I am a Windows sysadmin trying to help our Marketing department share their files via this Mini with the server OS. Other then connecting this up to our KVM in the rack, it seems pretty easy to setup.

An Apple ID is associated with an iTunes account. It is required to download and install updates as well as upgrades to the Server/OS X software. The account requires a credit card except to obtain free software in iTunes. However, updates and upgrades for system software are done through the App Store which gets your account via the Apple ID you setup in iTunes.
But Apple has provisions for corparate users, so I suggest you contact them to see about what is needed to establish a corporate account. They probably don't require a credit card and can be done by PO or corporate credit card or direct billing.

Wrong Apple ID when updating apps.

I have a MacBook Pro that was purchased back in 2009. I recently had some issues with it, but had it taken in and the problems resolved. I noticed, though, that when I wanted to update some apps from the App Store, that the wrong Apple ID was automatically signed in, prompting me to fill in the password. I have only ever used my Apple ID, but the one that keeps popping up with App Store is one I never even heard of, one I have never used before. Is there anyway to change the Apple ID? I have feeling the email belongs to someone from the Apple Store where I got it fixed. (The email that pops up on the prompt is light colored gray and whenever I try to click on the Apple ID to delete it, it won't let me.) Below is a screenshot of the prompt I am referring to.

Delete those applications and then download them from your Apple ID.

IPad 2 asks for wrong apple ID when updating apps.

My Dad let a friend borrow my iPad for a couple days. A few days later I tried to update my apps, but it was asking for my dad's friend's email password. I don't know what he did but every single app that needs to update is now under his apple ID. (even the ones downloaded under my account) When I check what account the apps were downloaded from they say my email, but when I try to update it, I'm asked for his password. It's really fusturating, and I've seen a few discussions with this problem but It doesn't help.
I've already tried to sign out of iTunes and back in but it didn't work
Restarting the iPad did nothing either.
I'm using an iPad 2 with iOS 5.1.1
If someone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

You're right... I don't understand and it is Weird... Because...
Any App or Download Obtained with a Particular Apple ID is Tied to that Apple ID.
Try this...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of the Account... > Settings > Store > Apple ID = Sign Out.
Perform a Reset and try again.
Reset... No Data or Settings will be lost...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

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.

How to change apple ID for updating applications?

When i first bought my iphone a friend put his apple ID so he could show me how to download apps.
Although now i have my own ID and download apps with this one - every time i try to update some apps his email address pops up for which I do not have the password to. Is there a way to remove his ID from my phone completely and update my apps with my own ID? Any kind of help would be great on this

Noble Seven, I actually did that deleted everything and then downloaded them again but for some reason it still does the same thing when i try to update them.
I've noticed that the other email pops up even on the apps that i downloaded with my own ID...
Thank you for trying to help guys
