App updates asking for apple id with wrong apple id

My husband is trying to update an app on his ipad and it is not only asking for apple I'd password, but it brings up my apple Id. We checked in setting and t shows his apple id. How can he update without signing in especially with my id.

iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 5.0.1

You should be prompted for the password for the account that originally bought/downloaded the app. Have you tried typing in your account's password when trying to download the update - you shouldn't need to go into Settings and log out of his account and in with yours.


If it was definitely bought/downloaded with his account, then depending upon what the app is and whether it has any content in, then you could try deleting it and re-downloading it from his account.
