Wrong Apple ID: How do I change the Apple ID prompt when Updating All Apps?

Niether does mine

Yes this is exactly the problem If an app was purchased under a different account thats the one that is used to try to update. Like you said delete and purchasing again will bring up the right account.So frustrating!

I am having the same problem, but with my iphone 4 and i dont know how to fix it.... please help!!!!!

I updated my iPhone 4 with the latest iPhone 5 software and as soon as I did I was prompted with a different Username everytime I try and update Apps.

I believe this username is one of from my daughters account but when I was updating I was logged into the iTunes and the App Store with my account? How is this possible if the account being used was not the one I am being prompted for now?

Has Apple ever replied to this issue and if so how do you fix this major problem, from what I have seen on this thread the support from Apple is very much lacking regarding this issue and how to correct it.

u can log in to itunes with ur apple id, but updateing app need the apple id and password for the person who downloaded the app.

as itunes keeps all family members app/games in one place an app or game can be copyed to a other family member's ipod/ifone/ipad/ etc

but it would then need them to enter there id and password to update it.

you can check ur apple id on the ipod/ifone by going to settings>store>apple id where you can change it

Having same problem. Want to propose this as a solution but I've not tried it myself and won't be able to for a while.

Can someone try the following:

1) Delete the app on the phone that seems to require the old appleid to update it.

2) Attach iphone to computer to sync .. make sure you select that app you just deleted.

3) Then hope the next update of that app requires the new, correct appleid.

Anyone see a reason why that won't work?

I just received my new 4s and I am having the same problem. I tried your suggestion but that doesn't work either. I ended up deleting everything and starting fresh.

Same problem after iOS 5 update.... I tried deleting app, re-synching...then updating app. Still comes up with an old apple ID?

I tried signing out and back on with correct ID under settings, store, ID. But this did not work...still prompting with wrong apple ID. Troublesome.

I have the same problem, cost me hours still not solving it. It doesnt matter what I do, tried all the above mentioned ways, still not working! only thing is that i dont want to delete Data, otherwise it will loss all the Data has been on that program!

Please HELP APPLE !!

I have logged out of the old apple id and into the new one in several places yet when you go to update apps the old apple id shows up. There seems to be no way of changing it.

That works on the iPhone but what about changing the Apple ID for a MacBook?

This seems to be a very common issue from the looks of it and it is extremelty dissapointing that Apple hasn't replied with a fix.

I am having the same issue. My wife had iPhone 2g which is broke. I bought 4s and registered my ID with iTunes. But the update all or update one at a time option asking for my wife's password. I will try to delete the app, sync with itunes and re-purchase it and see if it works...

Same issue here...Ipad 1, Could not be more frusutarting especially when there is no possibility of oral communication.

So add another voice to those who are having this same problem.. The longer it goes on the more that Apple is damaging their claims to any "user friendly" reputation..

I changed my Apple ID to email@me.com and now have 14 App updates which are asking for my old G-Mail ID before allowing any update.... My only solution is DELETE App, and add anew.... HS..
