Wrong email address on app store when asking for password

Hi.
I have the Iphone4 and today I was offered 4 updates for my apps. 3 downloaded but the Paypal update didn't. I then tried to update the Paypal app and the Iphone asked me to put my password in. I entered it but it said the password was wrong. I then noticed that the email address that was displayed wasn't mine, it was my house mate's.
When I go into settings and look at the app store settings I am logged in as me. I tried logging out and back in again but it still does it. If I download another app it just does it without asking for a password so I can't see if it's just Paypal.
Can anyone help me please? I'm really confused.
Thanks

Hi.
I just worked it out then came on here to update to say I no longer need help and you're right.
Basically he had the paypal app on his phone and backed them up on the pc. Then he synced my phone for me and accidentally put paypal on which was obviously his app.
Thanks for your help anyway.

  • I changed my apple id, but in apps store when asked for password,  original apple id appears so password doesn't work wit it.  Now can't buy apps.

    I changed my apple id, but now in apps store when asked for password, it listed my original apple id which password will not work.  How to get apps store to recognize changed apple id?

    f you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the device by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • The email address the app store is asking me the password for is not the email address i am signed in under in the app store

    That means that you did not buy the apps using your Apple account. Niel has the correct answer.

  • ITunes and App Store keep asking for password.

    If I log into the Mac App Store or iTunes to purchase an app/song I get prompted for a username and password, as expected; but then it just keeps asking. If I type in a purposly wrong password it will tell me it's wrong, but when I put in the correct one it seems to take it but the dialog just pops up again. This occurs on my MacBook Pro, my iMac and my MacPro. This also happens if I try to 'view account'. Every now and again I will break through this loop and see my account details, but if I try to change something, say my purchase methode, I get 'session timed out'. 
    I can log into the website just fine, I know the password is good.
    Any ideas?

    I'm having a similar problem. When I open iTunes I kept getting a "We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the Itunes Store at this time. Please try again later." error message. I also couldn't update my apps. I was able to stop the messages by signing out. Unfortuantely, I can't sign in now. I don't get an incorrect password message, though. Instead I get the same error message.
    I then I tried updating my apps on my iPod Touch but then I get a "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store" error message.
    So, like you I think the problem is on their end. Hopefully, it's just a temporary glitch. I'm going to go my favorite coffee shop and see if I can download there.
    Thanks,

  • App store not asking for password, security breach

    Earlier today, I was using the app Words with Friends by Zynga, and it crashed. Although I am not able to get the app working again even after uninstalling and reinstalling the app (developer issue) I have noticed that since this app crashed my App Store on my iPhone 4S is not asking me for my Apple password anymore. I have even restarted my iPhone and reset it by holding down the home button and power button until my iPhone restarts. Has this happened to anyone before? I feel like this is a security breach as my App Store is no longer requesting my password for downloading apps.

    iTunes is currently having problems in reference to the apps. If you have icloud, then toggle contacts off/on. If not then restore from itune backup

    If you are within 14 days of purchase you can still return the iPhone and get the phone that suits your needs, however, I think you will find that no matter which phone you get the content provider will want to know how you are going to pay for future purchases. For Android phones it is Google, and they will certainly want to know.

  • I can't remove previous owners email address from App Store so can't use - advice please!!

    I can't remove previous owners email address from App Store so can't use - advice please!!

    Settings/iTunes & App Stores. Tap the Apple ID. Tap Sign out. Then sign in with your Apple ID. However, if the phone still has Find my iPhone enabled with the previous owner's Apple ID then the phone will be useless to you until you get the previous owner to release Activation Lock on the phone.

    Have you tried turning your phone completely off and then back on?  After trying that you might want to Reset your phone by depressing the Sleep Button and the Home Button at the same time for at least 15 Seconds.  Then try your App Download again.  If those efforts don't work there are additional threads about various App Download issues you will want to review.

    Under settings my phone has my apple id logged in, when I go to update on the app store it asks for a friends apple id, how do i fix this?

    The app must have been purchased using your friends account.  This means that the app belongs to your friend.
    You need to buy your own copy.

    If you dont have any other devices which you use your Apple-ID with (like an iPad, iPod, Mac etc) this will solve your issue (I've been there too):
    If you have iOS 6:
    1) Sign out from Settings > iTunes & App Store by taping the email adress at the top and choose Sign out.
    2) Sign out from Settings > iCloud by taping the red "Delete account" button on the bottom of the page (will not delete you account only remove it from your iPhone i.e sign you out).
    3) Sign back in again with your new email adress.
    If you have iOS 7:
    1) Sign out from Settings > iTunes & App Store.
    2) Change your email adress back to the old email adress on your Apple-ID
    3) Sign out from Settings > iCloud by taping the red "Delete account" button on the bottom of the page (will not delete you account only remove it from your iPhone i.e sign you out).
    4) Change your email for you Apple ID back to the new email adress you want to have.
    5) Sign back in from Settings > iCloud.
    If you're promted for password to your old Apple ID when you update apps you need to follow the steps above and then restart your iPhone.

    When trying to download Apps, ipad keeps asking for password. Correct password given but has no effect and box requesting password input appears again.

    Try downloading something in the iTunes app on the iPad and see if that gets you out of the password loop that you are stuck in.

    I was wondering if you ever figured this out. I have the same issue. When I try to use the support communities, there are so many with the same problems and never seem to be any replys?? Not very helpful and I can not get Apple to return my emails.

  • My app store keeps asking for me to update my payment method as its about to expire so i enter my details and it keeps saying card declined , why is this ?

    my iphone app store keeps asking me to update my payment method every time a go to download something from the store , it says my method is about to expire so when i re-enter my card information it keeps saying that my card is declined , why is this?

    What sort of card are you trying to use ?
    If it's a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
    If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
