delete wrong apple ID from the appstore login

ThisisdannyVega ,

This is by far the best solution I've found. I work in a repair shop and we have to back data up before a restore. I was having customers returning because they are propted to enter the password for an Apple ID that wasn't theirs when updating apps. After confirming that the customer was logged into iTunes, iCloud , ect. with the correct Apple ID I just deleted the apps and redownloaded with their Apple ID. Problem solved!! I also deleted all apps from our iTunes to prevent future issues. Thank you!

Deleting apps in iTunes, sign out then sign back in with updated AppleID, redownloading apps and drag them to iPhone is "better" than simply signing out and signing back in with updated AppleID?

How is it better?

My issue is slightly different than the original issue posted, as I work with very large volumes of iPhones that need to be backed up. The apps were being backed up to iTunes. I didn't realize that those apps, even though free, would still be attached to the apple id that originally downloaded it. When I restored a different device, iTunes recognized that, let's say "facebook" was on the device. Instead of having the device redownload "facebook" using the correct apple id, it would restore the app backed up to computer, which was associated with the wrong apple id. The problem was when the customer was notified to update an app, they were propted to enter the password to a different apple id; the apple id that originally downloaded the app. In most cases the apple id seemed to be completely random. But deleting the app directly from the phone and redownloading using the correct apple id is the best solution that I've found.

How were you transferring apps from customers phones to your computer? Did they give you their AppleID & Password? (which is needed to copy the apps to your computer)

A backup does not contain any apps. And to get the apps back onto the phone, your computer needs to be aurthorized for that AppleID.

When I restored a different device, iTunes recognized that, let's say "facebook" was on the device. Instead of having the device redownload "facebook" using the correct apple id, it would restore the app backed up to computer, which was associated with the wrong apple id.

So th eapps were most likely from a previous customer.

Gotcha.

iTunes always prompts me to back up purchases and apps. Never needed apple id to do so. Doesn't matter though, because I won't be backing apps up any longer. I just have the customer go to App store/updates/purchased to redownload missing apps. Works like a charm. And, it clears up space on the device so it runs better.

I am not having anyy issues.

Your suggestion (can't see the photo) works only with iOS 7.

Thank You This is dannyVega! This fix was pretty easy, and it finally worked after trying some of the other fixes. For SOME reason, my wife's OLD iTunes account showed up on an app downloaded back in 2011 on my iPhone. It then became stuck on stupid since she bought her new iPhone 5s in December, 2013.

Yay! I can finally go do something else.

Fantastic Chris! It worked - thanks for your help!
