When I try to update the apps on my iPad I log in with my Apple ID and password then I pick which app I want to update it asks for a password to a different Apple ID . My phone and iPad are linked to the same apple account and any apps I put on my phone appear on my iPad but I can't update them on the iPad with out this password from another account. How do I fix this ?
Thankyou
iPad mini, iOS 10
This might be your problem. See What to do when the Mac App Store shows a different Apple ID for software updates https://www.macworld.com/article/3267709/mac-app-store-apple-id.html. This document refers to a prior owner, but is also applies to cases where a current owner's old Apple ID is the problem.
Basically, If an app is purchased/downloaded using one Apple ID, then you can't update it with with another Apple ID. The app is inextricably linked to the first Apple ID. You'll have to delete it and repurchase/download it again with the second Apple ID.

Have you tried signing out of the App Store/iTunes, restarting the device, and then signing back in?
Have you ever used a different Apple ID on the iPad?
