delete wrong apple ID from the appstore login

If you try to update your apps and it shows another appleid then that means those apps were downloaded with that appleid. Has anyone else used your ipad? If the apps are free delete them and download them again. Whenever it apps need to be update they show the appleid that they were downloaded with and enter that password.

I have only downloaded 1 app with another apple id, and that app isnt one of the ones that im trying to update. I want to update them on the origonal apple id they were bought with

Do you have access to the email account that the email address is showing that needs to be updated. If you have access to that email account then reset the password for that account.

Follow the steps in this article to reset your password. http://support.apple.com/kb/HE36?viewlocale=en_US

If that does not work you willl need to contact iTunes support to help yiou reset your passwords for the email account you downloaded the apps with.

I have access to both accounts, how does resetting the password allow me to update with the account they were orginally bought with

Thank you so much! You solved my mystery!

This does not work. I have done it over and over. It keeps showing an account I have never used to buy anything. It is also showing this id for facetime (never used) and imessage (never used). It is only doing this on my new iPad that I am ready to throw out the window.

I have two different Apple IDs for different AppStores, one US and one German. When updating applications only one of them is suggested no matter from which ID application was originally purchased with no option to change it. So I can upgrade apps from one account normally and the only option for other is sign out, sign in with different ID, delete application and install it again. But that does not help next time upgrade will come, I should go through reinstall procedure again and again.

The strange thing is that at some unknown point “default” account have changed and now I can normally upgrade other set of applications and must reinstall another, they simply switched.

I used iFile to look into applications plist’s and saw that correct apple id’s were stored against each app. There is some global setting not equal to the ID you are currently logged in AppStore that is used as a default ID for all apps updates. Maybe somebody can point me the file with it so I can at least edit it manually.

You log out but you keep seeing an account logged in?

Select the iPad in iTunes and Restore it.

@avdim

I know exactly what you are talking about!

My problem is very similar. No matter what I try, it keeps asking me for the old account, unless I reinstall the app.

But even the reinstalled apps keep asking for the old account for an update.

Did you figure out where this old account is stored?

What do you mena "old" account? You created a new iTunes account?

Apps are linked to the account you purchased them with and cannot be changed.

If you simply updated your account name, log out of the iTunes store then log back in.

All the point is that logging off iTunes does not help at all. There is no ability to enter proper AppleID. Always one ID is presented regardless what ID you are logged in AppStore and what was ID updraged aplication was bought from.

Yes there is.

Settings > Store tap yoru iD them Sign out. Then tap Sign in and enter yoru iTunes ID and password.

Well, I am tired to explain this again and again. Signing out does not change anything. As well as changing this in settings. And it should not because while updating application ID of purchase should be prompted, not the one you are currently logged in AppStore. A year ago on 4.3 firmware that was working well. After some months that was broken and I never saw normal behavior since then. I don’t want to make complete reset to see whether it helps or not.

Do you have two different Apple ID?

Yes.

I'm having a similar issue. Signed in to my iphone's itunes and app store under on ID, when I try to update, the update prompt asks for the password of a different ID.

I'm positive I didn't buy these apps under the different ID (which I can't access anymore).

This is a problem.
