Apple ID not working correctly in app store

Hi judith p,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.

Re: "Apple ID not working correctly in app store / It comes up with an old apple id and wants me to sign in"

You might want to check that you are signed in (to your iPad) with your current ID:

Sign in with your Apple ID - Apple Support

Else: if all is Ok there:

Try signing in to your Apple ID account online to make sure your details there are up-to-date:

Apple ID Log-in:

https://appleid.apple.com/

If needed: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support

Also: Check there are no restrictions set for the App Store (ie: any that you do not want):

Manage App Store purchases, subscriptions, settings, and restrictions on iPad - Apple Support

If you make changes, you may need to allow 24 hours for those changes to update everywhere.

(If you want, you can try re-starting your iPad Pro: How to: Restart your iPad - Apple Support)

More Support if needed:

(There is a "Get Support" link (or use the support app) at the bottom of the two websites (links below)

App Store - Official Apple Support

Apple ID - Official Apple Support

All the best :-)

What you describe begs the question, are you the only user of that device, and have also been the only owner? Asking for a different Apple ID is common if somebody else used the device and it was not erased properly first.

Go to Settings then Media & Purchases below iCloud and see if there's a different ID there.
