Q: newly purchased iPhone 6s tries to download apps from my son's account when I back up from my iCloud account. Any suggestions on how I can stop this?
My wife has just upgraded her phone from a 5s to a 6s. The EE shop (in the UK) where she bought it did a back-up from iCloud but a number of the apps are not loading and are requiring either my Apple password or my son's. Whilst a few of these apps may have ben purchased in my or my son's names, most have not. Yet they still refuse to be downloaded and installed. I have tried changing the account on iTunes to that of my wife, but this has made no difference. The only option I can see is to delete all of those apps not downloading and 're-purchase' them on my wife's Apple account. This will be a tedious operation. Hopefully someone out there can suggest an easier alternative.
