I am trying to do Updates in the Apps Store on my MacBook Air and the wrong (an old one) Apple ID keeps appearing in the Apple ID box. I have signed in and out of the Store and it keeps appearing and won't let me change it. I cannot delete the App Store app as computer won't allow me to do this and when I try I get a message saying I cannot delete as it is required by OS X. Can someone help with this please.
MacBook Air 13″, OS X 10.10
Those purchases are tied to the other ID and can't be transferred. 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. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.
Or you can try to set up Family Sharing between the IDs to keep access to your purchases.

Cannot do updates because I can't change Apple ID
