What happens when you try? Error message(s)? More information would help.


Apps won’t downloaded.       


App Store, iTunes Store, or other Apple services - If you can't connect


Account disabled?


If you see a message that says 'Your account has been disabled in the App Store and iTunes' - Apple Support.

This might be your problem. 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 (use the discussion in it this is your situation), but is also applies to cases where a current owner's old Apple ID is the problem. The discussion below relates to the second possibility. 

 

Basically, If an app is purchased/downloaded using one Apple ID, then you can't update it with a second Apple ID. The app is inextricably linked to the first Apple ID. You'll have to delete if from the first Apple ID and purchase/download it again with the second Apple ID unless you set up family sharing (see below).

 

You can set up family sharing between the IDs to share purchases made with them. See:
