Wrong iTunes account for apps

I recently added my daughter's Apple ID to iTunes. Now her ID shows up when I try to buy apps with my touch. How do I get my ID to show instead? I've tried logging out and in again in iTunes on my Mac.

"When you sync your iPhone or iPod touch with your computer, the account last used to access the iTunes Store from the computer is synced to the mobile device for use in the iTunes Store from the device as well. This same account is used for the App Store as well. This account will be used on the device for both stores until you sign in from your computer to the iTunes Store with a different account, and then resync your mobile device with the computer."

Itunes asking for the wrong Itunes account for app updates

I have a buddy who is attempting to update his iPad apps, but it's asking for his daughter's itunes account password instead of his. His account is synced to the ipad, and daughter can't remember her password. What can be done to resolve this issue?

Ther reason that iTunes requires her password, is because the apps were purchased with her iTunes account/Apple ID. That's how it works. All purchases are tied to the Apple ID that was used to make the purchases and your friend will always need to use her ID and password to update those apps.
There is no way around this other than for your buddy to delete the apps and purchase them with his own Apple ID,

Changing ITunes Account for Apps

How do I change my Itunes account for apps? When I go to update my apps, it still has my old account (my password does not work) and I have since created a new account (divorce issues). I have made a new password request for my old account and I do not get an email from Apple to do so. Everything else on my iphone is under my new account (Itunes, store, etc).
VERY FRUSTRATING!

How do I change my Itunes account for apps?
You can't. Apps are DRM protected & tied to the account used to originally purchase them. Contact iTunes support & request they add the apps in question to your download queue for your new account. Explain the situation & most likely, they will do so:

ITunes Account for Apps

Hi
Im trying to sign for a publisher account to download the iTues producer when I enter my info and cause Im a registered
app developer it gives me a message that this account is already asociated with app developing account so do i need 2
separate accounts one for apps and one for ibook publishing ?

Different accounts use different "usernames" which is in fact an email address. And yes each account can purchases apps, music, books etc,. BUT.... Apple require that a different account is required for:-
Free Books.
Paid Books
Developer account.
Although its at first it was OK to use a "standard" iTunes Account to open a free iBook account - its no longer allowed, so maybe the iTunes account also now needs to be a separate account from others.

Accidentally associated my iphone to the wrong itunes account for automatic downloads. What do I do?

Pretty much explained it in the title. I signed into my dad's iTunes account today to download a quick app that he had already purchased when I accidentally forgot to sign out of his account. Later on, I receive a notification on my iPhone that my iPhone is associated to a different Apple I.D. and that I can transfer over to the account for the automatic downloads feature. I didn't think this through and decided to transfer over, not knowing what I was doing. It said that I have to wait 90 days before I can transfer back over to my own Apple I.D. can someone from Apple please help me!!!

No one from Apple can help you here. This is a user forum. We are all itunes users like you.
You can contact itunes support:

Please tell me how to turn off auto renew in my itunes account for app subscriptions?

I see no option to turn off auto re-new in my account settings! all the app says is to avoid itunes account from being charged turn off auto re-new in account settings! ***! i do not see any option to do so!

If you subscribing to itunes match then you just need to turn it off.
Open the latest version of iTunes on your computer. You cannot subscribe to iTunes Match from an iOS device.
Choose Store > Turn OFF iTunes Match.
On the phone got to settings -itunes and app store- turn off itunes match.
If you are not subscribing to match, your questions does not really make sense to me and you may want to elaborate a bit, or maybe someone smarter then me will come alone.

HT1904 Can there be two credit cards saved in iTunes account for buying apps?

Is it possible to have two credit cards saved in iTunes account for app purchases?

No, only one card can be linked to an account at a time, you can't have 2 cards stored on it.

Use one account for apps and other for itunes match

Hello everybody
My question today is quite simple. I use one account for apps and tv shows, but inwant to use a different itunes account for purchasing itunes match. How can I use them both on my devices? Will it be asking for my user-pass each time i play a song? What other thing should i consider?
Thank you in advance

I would strongly recommend you not do this. You will regret it.
I have played with this issue a lot. You have to remain signed into match in order for it to show up on your phone. If you sign out to purchase an app or redownload one from your appstore id you use then match will be removed from your phone and when you go into your music app the icloud will not be there. You then have to go sign back out of the store id you used for your app purchase and then sign back into match and everything will have to go though the download to your device process again. This really is not what you want to do.
Sign up to match with the apple id that you know you will use the most or has the most purchased items and use that for all purchases, i.e. books, apps, movies, and music. You don't want to go though the other process.
Plus apple will start not letting you sign into match because you signed out and back in, in to short a period of time.
all store purchases on an iphone are linked to the store id. if you sign out of your match id on the appstore and sign into another account to purchase an app then itunes match will sign out in the music app. You can't have two store id's signed into your iphone at the same time. They are all linked together.

iOS 5 & iCloud Tips: Sharing an Apple ID With Your Family

Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both?

Can I use the same iTunes account for 2 iPads without having the same apps on both? Everytime I try to sync my new iPad, it syncs all the apps that are on my account. If I can do this, can someone tell me how please???

Yes you can, easily. When you plug the first pad in to sync, note the name of the pad on the last pane. Set up for that device whatever you want to sync. When you are done, plug the second pad in. Make sure it has a different name on the left pane. Then sync to that pad whatever you want. I tunes will remember what you did on each pad, and will start from there the next time you plug in.

L added her sister R to a family plan. Can R have her own itunes account for syncing the phone and downloading her own apps, or must she always sign in using L's account and password?

So, if R wants to sync her iphone 5C but still have L pay for it on the family plan, can R just get her own itunes account for buying music and apps? Or is she stuck using L's account?

Family Plan as with the cell phone carrier?
Is so, the iTunes account or Apple ID is not related to the type of cell phone plan an iPhone is under.
Will the sisters being using the same computer and iTunes library?

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

My dad and I shared an iTunes account for years and now I'm getting my own, how can I keep my music and apps?

My dad and I shared an iTunes account for years and now I'm getting my own, how can I keep my music and apps? I'm worried that I won't have any ability to access my apps and music. We have our itunes separated on different computers, so I have all of my stuff separated from his, but I don't know how to put them in my new account.

Well... there really isn't any fully legal way to do this.
The simplest solution is to continue sharing the same iTunes purchasing acct, but create different ones for iCloud (assuming that's why you needed to do the split).
Slightly less kosher: Burn AUDIO CD's, of the music then copy them back to your new account.
BE sure to do this from original acount, To keep the music info, you'll copy over the CDDB file (in prefs somewhere) - since this maintains the data of CDs that you've had in library.... (it isn't carried over onto a user created CD.)

HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
P.S audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.
