I had my mother-in-law reset her password as she has not been able to log into her iTunes for quite some time. After we reset apple id, we changed it in settings>store and it took it just fine. It accepted the new id/password in the setting and online; however, we then tried to update iPhone but it doesn't show the correct apple id/email address in the "updated apps" pop up screen, but shows up correctly in settings>store. Please help.
iPhone 4
My problem may be unique but it was similar so I offer this solution. I have family sharing and my app store kept asking for my wifes (old) ID even though the phone and my icloud and app store were signed in as me. Turns out the "update all" feature crashed because of an app she purchased and shared with me.
Update each app individually until you find the app that calls for the external credentials.
Delete it from your phone and all will be good again.
It will no longer ask for the other persons ID.
In my case this was further complicated (or unique) because my wifes ID changed after we married and this particular app was purchased under her old ID settings. I do not seem to have this problem with any apps she shares under her new credentials.
Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase. To update you can't use the new Apple ID, you have to use the same Apple ID that was used.
Mine shows Timothy.D.Cook@apple.com, Tim Cook's apple id~ But when i wanna buy an app, it shows my apple id... and when i download a free app, it doesn't even ask for my apple id's password
Am having the same problem on my 4S , and i tried all possiblr solutions u posted, but am still having the same problem
I resolve the problem by remove the apps that installed before I use current apple id.
Or you can try remove all the apps and then reinstall them by iTune or from app store.
I had the exactly problem tell now
I also had her power the phone on and off a couple of times, also had her close out all of her programs manually.
It is just a new password not a new id/email address
Did you change computer iTunes > Store > Sign Out and sign in with the new password?
And iPhone's Settings > Store > Sign out and sign in with the new password?
Yes, we have done both.
Is the error message on iPhone or computer iTunes?
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.
Thanks earlybird29 - worked for me!
I am glad that can help you.🙂
