    To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased them. That message indicates that either your iPod is not signed into the account that purchased the apps (Settings>Store to sign out and in) or that you have apps purchased from more than one account that need updating. In that case you have to update them one at a time until all the remain apps that need updating were purchased from one account.

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign in with the other ID.
