Wrong Apple ID: How do I change the Apple ID prompt when Updating All Apps?

How can I change the (wrong) Apple ID from the password prompting dialogue when I am already signed in Apple Store with my own ID?
More details of my problem:
When I try the Apps' Update-All option in my iPod 4, the password dialogue prompts me with my girlfriend's Apple ID; YET, I AM signed in the Apple Store with MY own Apple ID.
I have already verified my ID under Settings/Store. I have also signed out, signing back in with my Apple ID, just in case. No problems there, for I DO sign in with my own ID ok. The problem is just the prompt dialogue for password, when I try to use the 'Update All' feature it prompts me for password with her ID, not mine.
If I go back to Apps and choose the Categories (or Top25) menu, at the bottom of the page, it shows me signed in (my Apple ID). If I try to update one Apps it will do ok. But if I try to Update All it will prompt me for password using her ID, waiting for me to type in HER password. I cannot change the Apple ID on that dialogue (static). If I use my password, it will return the "wrong password" dialogue.
How can I change the prompt for the Update All? What is going on here that I AM signed in but my iPod prompts me with her ID. My iPod is registered under my Apple ID. I have already tried the Hard reset by pressing Home and Power buttons simultaneously, to no avail. I am also using my own network to go Online. I am also with the latest OS in my iPod and my Mac's iTunes.
Thank you!
PS This problem is not occurring in my iPhone 4 (same account) nor my Macs.

Does not work for me. (My iPhone is not jailbroken.)
I downloaded a paid app "Imray Marine Rules and Signals v1.5" in the USA with my original account (Account1) then moved countries and needed to create a new Apple account (Account2). If I get 'Info' for the app, it is registered to Account1.
A new version 1.6 of the Imray app has now been released.
I have set up only Account1 on the iphone (settings - App Store) and both Account1 and Account2 in iTunes on my computer. My iphone always tells me there is 1 app to update. However, when I try to update this app on my iphone, I get asked for the password for Account2, then the download fails as it says I do not have a paid earlier version to update.
When I am logged into my computer iTunes as Account1 and try to update it on the computer iTunes, it says there are no apps to update (although my version of the app is definitely the old version).
When I search for the app in iTune Store, it tells me I have already downloaded version 1.6 of the app and the download button is grayed out.
If I temporarily delete the app from my iTunes then try to re-download, I am asked to purchase it again.
If I log into iTunes as Account2 then try to download it, I am asked to purchase it.
Any ideas? I feel I have tried every option and no success.

  • 2 different iphones have the same Apple ID, how can I change the apple ID on one of them but not delete the other iphone's data and media?

    You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
    You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

    Hi Marg42,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    First, your husband can create his own Apple ID via the web, computer, or iPad, if he hasn't already:
    My Apple ID
    https://appleid.apple.com
    iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2731
    Next, he can sign out of the Apple services that are currently using your Apple ID on your old iPad, and sign in with his own.
    This article has instructions for doing so for specific Apple services:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    Alternately, he can erase the device and set it up as new using the steps in this article:

  • How do i change the apple id in icloud without deleting the old one?

    i was given a second hand iphone 4 still logged into the previous owners apple id account. I changed the apple id connected to the itunes and app store to mine but i cant seem to be able to change the one connected to the icloud without deleting the previous owners account which i do not want to do becasue that apple id is still in use. how do i change the id without actually deleting the one currently logged in?

    Welcome to the Apple community wensecles.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

  • HT204053 We have 2 apple ID's (one for each of us). How do I change the apple ID on my ipad?

    My wife and I each have an apple ID for our ipad. How do we change the apple ID on our ipad for Iclouds? Can't seem to do it.

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • I have some apps on my iPad that were installed using an old apple ID. They can't be updated because the old ID is no longer valid. How can I change the apple ID associated with these apps?

    I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.

    If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
    You can verify  the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
    Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

  • HT3965 I got what appears to be a reconditioned (pre-owned) iPod Touch 4 for Christmas.  How can I change the Apple ID on tis device so I can use it with my iTunes Acct and Wi-Fi network?  Thanks.

    I received what appears to be a reconditioned iPod Touch 4th for Christmas.  How do I change the Apple ID on the device to my ID so I can use my iTunes account?  Thanks for any help/

    It would probably be best to attach the iPod to a computer and restore it. This way you'll know it's wiped clean. Then, when you start up the iPod it will ask you for your Apple ID.

  • How do I change the Apple ID on my ipad? - Help please

    I forgot the password for my apple ID so have now obatined a new apple ID - how do I change the old apple ID to the new one on my ipad as it appears to be locked and keeps asking for the password for my old Apple ID. Thanks

    Did you try getting the password for the old account reset ? You should be able to do that via http://iforgot.apple.com - all of the content that you downloaded with that old account will remain tied to that account, so only that account can potentially redownload that content and/or download updates to its apps.
    To log out of an account you can tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out of the account and you can then log in with a different account. If using the account for iCloud you can log out of it for that as well via Settings > iCloud > Delete Account - if your iPad is on iOS 7 and Find My iPad is enabled then you will need to type in the account's password to disable Find My iPad.

  • How do I change the apple id on the copy of Lion that shipped with my Macbook Pro?

    I've inherited a Macbook Pro that shipped with Lion installed. The app store is showing three updates for iPhoto, GarageBand, and iMovie. When I try to update them it request the password for the Apple ID for the person who set up the Macbook. These apps came with Lion which came with the Macbook. I could reload the OS but that would wipe out my configuration. How can I change the Apple ID to reflect me as the new owner so I can update the apps included with Lion? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

    If you know the seller, then maybe it can be done; according to the licensing agreement, if you sell/gift a Mac which came with Lion preinstalled, you are allowed to make a one time transfer of your software license. That would involve a call to Apple (I've not had to do this, but I've read that you need to call Apple and explain that you wish to transfer the Lion license from xxxxx to xxxxxx - don't know if it involves name/address or any other info). So, if your seller is willing to do this, and Apple re-registers the MBP in your name, you shouldn't have to do anything. You may want to check into this because it also may play a role when there is an OS update - not sure that you'll be able to get that with your different Apple ID.

  • I have a different Apple id on my PowerBook from that on my iMac and iPad. Photo Stream does not connect to my Powerbook. How do I change the Apple id in iCloud on my PowerBook? Will this link all 3 machines to PhotoStream?

    You can't simply change the details.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

  • How do I change the Apple ID associated with my iTunes account?

    How do I change the Apple ID associated with my iTunes account?
    I have an apple ID that i have associated with my account but I want to change it to another ID that I just created.  I needed to create this new ID so that both my wife and I can use the ID for our shared iTunes account and then we each have our own apple IDs with our own calendars, contacts, etc.

    Change it on what way ? You can update the primary email address on an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on an iOS device and signing into the account, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
    If you want to log out of the account so that you can log in with a different account then tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store if using an iOS device and sign out, or on a computer's iTunes use the Store > Sign Out menu option. Any content downloaded by the currently logged in account will remain tied to that account, so only that account will be able to redownload it and/or download updates to its apps

    How do I change the Apple id against a certain telephone number?  I have two iPhones and wish to use a different Apple id for each and confused as to how I do this?

    Create a new Apple ID for the second phone. If you are setting the phones up as new phone enter the ID you want to use on each phone.
    If both phones are already signed in to one Apple ID then use the settings app to change Apple IDs on one phone.
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on the Apple ID > sign out > sign in with alternate Apple ID.
    Note that if you have downloaded apps with the original Apple ID on the phone with the new Apple ID, those apps will still be associated with the old Apple ID and will require the old ID and password in order to update them.

  • My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones.  she now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phoneand not loose any contacts or songs?

    My teenage daughter and i share an apple id on both of our iphones (2 phones both are 5s) .  She now has an ipad with a her own apple id.  How can we change the apple id on her phone so that is the same as the ipad and not loose any contacts or songs?

    Did you take a look at the new feature Apple - iOS 8 - Family Sharing ?
    Apple - iCloud - Family Sharing
    Up to now, songs bought from iTunes could only be played by the Apple ID that has been used to buy them.
    If you set up Family Sharing, your daughter can also play your songs and use the same contact info as before.
    If you don't want to do that, sync the contact info to the address book on your computer, and sync the info back, using iTunes:
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB
    If the iPad already has her Apple ID and contact info on it, restore the phone from the latest iPad backup.
