delete wrong apple ID from the appstore login

I just started experiencing the problem last night when upgrading to iOS 6.1. Everything else on the phone works under my account, but the App Store itself displays my wife's ID to verify before updating any apps. I believe it is due to my wife's e-mail address being associated with the iTunes account on our laptop. I tried to make sure my account was the one associated on iTunes, but I guess there is something I forgot to change.

Let me know if this may be changeable on my phone (I tried the settings for apps and iCloud, to no avail).

You and your wife uses the same to sync the iDevices apps ???

We use the same laptop, therefore the same iTunes program to update both of our phones.

Check all Apps you have sync the App that have been downloaded from your Wife Id

Thank you Chris,

This worked!!

error found, not sure why but this file is pointing to the wrong account

var/mobile/Library/caches.... , com.apple.mobile.installation.plist.....

you have to have a jailbroken phone to fix it.

Try this...

Unplug your iPhone from your computer.

In iTunes on your computer, make sure you are logged into the iTunes store with your AppleID.

Connect the iPhone and sync it with iTunes.

After it syncs, unplug it see if it is the correct ID.

If not, on the iPhone, log out then log back in.

same problem.

had itunes for years have old account (Apple ID A) with itouch. wife got a iphone 5 setup new itunes account (Apple ID B) and cloud. Never used cloud before she got her iphone

ok, but if I delete the icloud account, will not all the apps and songs be deleted from her account?

what if I just uninstall the apps that need updated that show the Apple ID A and reinstall the apps making sure we are logged into Apple ID B?

Hi all,

I had a similar problem when I swapped my iPad2 32gb with my dads iPad 2 64gb. Even though my apple id details were in iTunes Store settings ,every time I wanted to install or update an app from AppStore it would ask me for my dads password to his apple id. Signed out and in with my id many times from the settings but AppStore wanted my dads ID details and there seemed no way to change this.

But hooray I found a way.

1.I signed out of my ID in iTunes Store settings.

2. Then went to AppStore and tried to install a free app.

3. I get prompted with a message to sign in with an 'existing' ID or create a new one.

4. Sign in with the ID you want on your device.

That's all, never gave me a problem after that.

Excellent solution!

This worked fine!

It is easily solvable, even if not obvious.

1. Open your AppStore desktop app

2. Click the Store menue and signout

3. Sign-in again with the right login and password

this is worked for me, I had all same ID, but only updating was wrong ID;

when try to update show wrong ID, delte the same ITEM on your iphone, after delete the ITEM,

go to search and down load again,

thank you Captaincrealot!!!
