    Hello sgarrett105,

     

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    For more information on this, take a look at:

     

    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311

     

    Tap Settings > icloud       and /or

    iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.

    Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.

     

     

    Best of luck,

    Mario

    That usually means that you have one or more apps that were purchased with the other ID.  Apps (and other purchases) are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them.  You will continue to be prompted for this ID when updating these apps.  The only way to stop this is to delete the apps and repurchase them with your current ID.

    Have you heard of an email "lordrene @live.com" appearing on initial iphone 5s setup? I can log in to my icloud account, but I've restored my phone twice(once through iPhone and once using itunes) and each time after booting up, the iphone requested the email I'd never seen before.

     

    I searched google which brought me to a link but my phone is not jailbroken and I don't have any pirated music on my iphone. There was another thread on the forum: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24106381#24106381 with no resulting solution. My situation is the same, coming from an iphone 4 and going to 5s. Looking for any information on this, thanks in advance.

    I had the correct apple id on my phone but I could not update the apps on my iPhone.  When I tried, it showed my daughters apple id.  I just deleted the apps and re-purchased them with my correct apple id. I think it was an ID ten T problem on my part.

    I'm a programmer.  It seems programmers have a bug here because why, when my phone is plugged into my PC and the launched instance of iTunes running on the PC clearly shows my apple ID as the one logged in, and my phone as the one being synced, etc..does it show apps assigned to other apple IDs?  For instance, this is a shared PC so the other phone that gets plugged in and used with iTunes is the wife's.  But when I'm plugged in, it's showing all her apps, and not mine, even though it clearly shows it's working with "Husbnd's iPhone"?

    Hey programmers, fix your bug.  How hard is it to show/update ONLY the apps associated with the AppleID corresponding to the current device plugged in?  Ameteur hour

    yeah, but then when she goes to plug her phone in and wants to update her apps, will it show all your apps installed now?  then she'll have delete all those apps and redownload all hers again?  what a bunch of malarky.

    Impossible, because purchased media is associated with Apple IDs, not devices.

    your telling me its not possible to find the appleID currently being used by the device that's plugged in and filter out apps by that?
