May 30, 2012 8:31 AM in response to ckuanby rachelle221,None, everything works fine other than its the wrong apple id appearing when I try to update her apps.
It shows xyz@me.com when it should be xyz@comcast.net

May 30, 2012 8:47 AM in response to rachelle221by ckuan,Ok, where did it shows iPhone or Computer iTunes?
BTW, the me.com is a free e-mail address (Alias to your Apple ID) from Apple with iCloud.
Just to sure, can you check the apps that needed an update by using Get Info in iTunes that the purchasing Apple ID is the right one used.

May 30, 2012 11:42 AM in response to rachelle221by Venkat1234,I am having same issue in last 2 weeks or so, it was perfectly o earlier. Maybe iphone os 5.1.1 issue? Only while updating the apps. I don't recall using any apple ID since ages (iphone 3g) but vaguely remember that earlier apple ID was not having email id, once iPhone4 or cloud came in it required email id. Dind't use "@me.com" but used yahoo.com instead. I don't sync with computer itunes and haven't done in 6+ months but update it using wifi or att data networks. Funny thing is if I were to install new app, the apple id and password works fine but when you go back to update it the existing apps later it fails. Frustrating thing is even newly installed app using the same appleid if there is an update available for it, it will fail with wrong apple id or password.
Didn't want to reset or delete all the apps and start a fresh. looking for a workaround
thanks in advance

May 30, 2012 2:34 PM in response to rachelle221by ckuan,Did you try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Another thing you can try:
Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

May 31, 2012 10:25 AM in response to ckuanby Venkat1234,Thanks for the suggestion. Tried both the options but it didn't solve the problem. Had tried the first option and was holding back the seocond suggested option because I had to re-enter the wifi key's after reset.
Is there a way to find out the associated apple id with the app requiring update? or should I delete all the apps requiring update & reinstall them? I was holding back from doing this but now the no. of apps requiring updates has increased to 14 and may have snowball effect.
thanks once again

Use computer iTunes > Get Info to find out which Apple IDs were used to purchase the apps.

Jun 15, 2012 6:55 PM in response to rachelle221by Flashwang,I had the same problem at my iPad. I use iTunes to update the apps and sync it back to iPad to temporary resolve the problem.
