delete wrong apple ID from the appstore login

when I try to update my apps on the ipad the box that pops up has the wrong apple ID in it and I can not change it no matter what I do. I have re set the info in the settings and when viewed there the info is correct. When I get into the app store I still get the wrong ID no matter what I do... anyone have any suggestions

You need to reset both your ICloud Email account and Store Account.


IPHONE

ITunes Store

Goto Settings>Itunes & App Stores>Click your Itunes Login Name>Sign Out.

Sign in with new Apple ID.


ICloud Exchange

Goto Settings>ICloud>Delete Account.

Recreate the ICloud Account with your New ID.


I think the problem everyone assumes the login ID to get into the phone is the same as the Email login, and that is just not true.


When I changed the ICloud Exchange account, I was then prompted with my new Email Apple ID account.


Hope this helps.

Haha. Yeah. I tried that. Here is the problem. I just created a new email and I accidentally typed in something wrong so my apple ID was messed up. I'm awful with technology! Lol However, I changed the ID and password. The email that was wrong is in fact a real one owned by someone else. Do you think any private info was possibly leaked? Or is the problem cleared?

I think I have the same problem!


I have my Apple ID which is "jmnzangel@xxxx" signed in on everything here on my ipad and then when I tried to download something in the App Store a different Apple ID is signed on. I have only one Apple ID that's why I was surprised to see someone else's signed on. Now I can't download anything without using my computer.


Did you guys get to fix yours?
