delete wrong apple ID from the appstore login

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😁

hi i have this question too did you find to how fix it?? pleas say to me thanks

The id that shows in the Update tab for an app will be the id that downloaded the app (either directly on your iPad or on the computer's iTunes that it was synced from) - all apps are tied to the account that downloaded them, only that account can download updates to those apps.

You don't have to literally sign into the iTunes & App Store to update apps purchased by a second Apple ID. All you have to do is type in the password for that ID when asked. I have two Apple IDs and some apps purchased with both, in addition to some apps that were purchased under my husband's Apple ID. When one of those apps needs updating on my device, I put in the password for the ID that is requesting the password.

To make it as seamless as possible, I use the same password on both of my Apple IDs. That way, when it asks for a password, it is not relevant which ID is asking for it.

Best of luck,

I have the same problem! I can not seem to fix it with logging out and in again..

What do you mean? If you log out, then why wouldn't you log the correct one in at that point?

Thank you, I had the same problem and your suggestion fixed it.

I had the same problem today... But it's been fixed with a simple trick .... (We need to delete the particular App and do this)

First Log Off from your Apple Account Settings->iTunes & App Store then Open App Store (Note: make sure of Fresh opening of App Store, i mean quit and re-open the App Store if it is already been opened and active before you signed off to your Apple ID) ....

Now Search for the particular App to Get and try downloading it. Now it will ask to Sign In to your Apple ID, enter your login credentials and you are good to go 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Thank you. I have just had this same problem and was thinking there must be a simple way of doing this. And indeed there is. All sorted now.

The solution is much simpler than most people think. I couldn't do updates or install new apps and it was coming up with an old ID, so I searched for where to enable auto updates.

(Settings > ITunes and app store > top line, which should read "Apple ID: ****)

It was still set as my old ID so I tapped on it and signed out and back in on my new account.... et voila! Works fine again! 😀😀

The solution you have listed works if you have the wrong Apple ID signed in to the Tunes & App Store as you have described. Most of the posters on this thread are signed in with the correct Apple ID, but they have apps on their devices that were purchased or downloaded under a different Apple ID. And as has been advised, in those situations, you either must supply the password to that other Apple ID when prompted (that is what I do), or you have to delete the offending App, and re-purchase or re-download it if it was free under your current, signed-in Apple ID.

I have the same problem right now.. can you please tell me how to do the right address. Im going crazy

Not sure what you mean 'do the right address', but you can log out of the account that you are using for the stores by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and you can then log in with a different account.

Any content downloaded by an account is permanently tied to that account, so only that account can download updates to its apps, and do in-app purchases in them

This thread is 18 pages long. Can you specify what you are trying to do - update, download past purchases,in-app purchases? And what, exactly, you are seeing? Are you getting a prompt to enter your password, and the Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID is the old one? Or is it a different problem?

Cheers,

I have the same problem it is very annoying!!!!
