Still ******* happening in 2016, smh come on Apple get your **** together. I had a 2nd Apple ID and I pressed sign out and now it completely just stayed on there for updates, guess I'll have old apps forever (((((:

Apple are not here, these are user-to-user forums. Anything that you download from the iTunes stores is permanently tied (licensed) to the account that downloaded it - if you want your apps linked to a different account you will have to delete and buy and download them on that account

These are apps which have been downloaded by someone else. Delete them and download them with your own ID, they can not be transferred to yours otherwise.

No. This is a kluge; not an answer, fix, or solution. The iOS devices have no internal method to determine which apps are associated with which account, or allow you uninstall/replace those unassociated apps aside from doing it one at a time. That, to me, is unacceptable. Installing iTunes (crap), syncing my iOS device (unnecessary), and individually viewing details for each app (tedious) is not an acceptable response to this issue. So until there's an actual fix and not this silly hack the issue is unresolved.

How did someone else's apps get on your devices?

Wow, your attitude *****. It is not a kluge, it is a place where that information resides whether you like it or not. It is not a hack, it is a normal process that people who have some concept of how iTunes works, know. Get Info is commonly used in Apple Mac apps, like Photos and iTunes.

If you downloaded apps from two different Apple IDs then that is your problem. If you don't want to use the method that is available, then that also is your problem.

Get over it....

It is going to happen forever. The Apple ID that you are currently signed in with does not own the app you are trying to update. You have three choices:

1. Type in the password for the other ID (I use the same password for both of mine, so when it asks, I don't care which it is - I type in the same thing)

2. Delete the apps and repurchase them with the ID you want to use

3. Set up Family Sharing and invite your other ID to join

Whether or not you have signed out of that other Apple ID, is not the point. The point is that the apps you are trying to update were purchased by that other ID, and you are being asked to supply the password to that other ID to confirm ownership.

Purchased media has always been tied to the Apple ID that it was purchased under. That's how it works. When you want to change your Apple ID, you should change it, not set up a new Apple account.

There is no password for the old id. When I try to sign in to the old Id it states that it is not an apple id yet it keeps popping up.

I figured it out!! The ID that you are seeing is from you having 1 of the same apps as the person at the store that you bought your phone from. When they transferred all of your apps into their computer you had 1 of the same apps as what was in that computer and when it transferred to your phone ... the id traveled with it. You have to select each update button ( not "update all" ) and you will get to the one that asks you to log into the bogus ID. Delete it from your phone and go to your purchases and hit update there. You get a new version of that app and it belongs to you now. After all your apps have your ID attached to them ... you can start using update all again :)

I don't think so.

And annefrombath last posted over 5 years ago.

I DO think so because it worked when I did it. Your OPINION doesn't change the fact that it worked so ,,!,,

Do you think that annefrombath waited 5 years for your answer?

You purchased a used iPhone.

Okay.

Doesn't mean annefrombath did.

Nevermind.....

Responded to the wrong post 😐
