delete wrong apple ID from the appstore login

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?

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

Same answers apply, either type in the id of the account that the app's tied to, or delete it and buy and download it on the account that you are now using

When i try to update apps its pop up another apple id thats not mine... whatever i do its remaining same

The id that shows for downloading an update will be the id that downloaded the app. To get the app linked to your account you need to delete the app, and buy and download it on your account onto the device

Having two IDs for the iTunes & App Store is simple, and regardless of what ID you have signed into iCloud, you should have the ID that has the majority (if not all) of your purchases signed into iTunes.

I have two IDs as well. My original ID and my @me.com ID. I have made purchases on both. I sign into iTunes with my @me.com Apple account, and when apps that need to be updated that were purchased with my old Apple ID are trying to update, I get a prompt asking me to type in the password to that Apple ID. I also get prompts to type in the password for my husband's Apple ID as I have some apps that he purchased on my device.

So, if you can specifically explain what the issue is, maybe we can find a solution for you. Which ID are you signed into iTunes with? Are you signed into iTunes on both the i-Device and the comptuer with the same ID? If not, why not? What is the particular roadblock you are running into? Provide a clear complete example of the issue.

Have you tried over?

You nailed it.

had the same problem on my wife's phone. I must've downloaded some apps while logged in to my account on the MacBook.

I Had to delete the apps and redownload them all over again from the phone.
