"Your account is not valid for use" alert

Hi,

I just had this problem too. To fix it, I went to the "featured" page in the Apps app. Then scroll to the bottom, click "Apple ID: yourappleid@me.com", it'll ask for your password, when you enter that, it'll show a slightly different message, saying "Your Apple ID is only valid for XX purchases, you'll be switched to that store".

Problem solved, I went back to the update page, and apps updated successfully.

Try this.

Go to Settings > Scroll down to iTunes & App Stores > Click on your Apple ID > Sign Out

Then, Click on Apple id option once again and re-sign in . This should fix the issue.

Thanks for that. it's easy when you know how. Why can't Apple make these things easier?

Do you live in Canada?

This was a superb help, thanks. Amazing how hopeless an organisation like Apple can be without help from the users.

Thank you iCONICA!

Something so simple vexed me for so long.

You have reduced my frustration level greatly.

Thanks again!

Geez, now I am trying to figure out how to give you the 'green checkmark' for 10 points, but alas, I cannot figure out how to do that either. 😟

Thank you Mick!

It works!

I have a similiar, but i guess more complicated problem.

It works on my iPad, but not on the iPhone. I use the same apple ID, have iOS 8 on both devices (iPad Air, iPhone 5s) and i can update SAME apps on iPad, but can't update them on iPhone. How strange is that?

Thank you iCONICA!!!

Thanks iCONICA, your answer solved my problem too. Wish I knew how to give you the 10 points, you deserve them.

Michael

Finally 🙂
