What happens when you try? Error message(s)? Are you getting a request for a different password? Do the apps you are trying to update show in your Purchases History?


Purchase History Review.  


If the apps aren't in your Purchases History, One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. After deleting the apps, it may be necessary to restart the device/computer before you can download the apps again.
