Q: why is my iphone showing the wrong apple id

That is because you have apps on your phone that were downloaded with your wife account, delete them and download them using your own account instead.

Right.

Having this exact problem, with an interesting twist.  I deleted the apps and now I'm trying to reload them.  All came loaded on the phone, originally: They are iMovie ($4.99), Pages ($9.99), Keynote ($9.99), and Numbers ($9.99).

Now on my Apple ID, App Store wants me to buy them ($35 total), when I try to download them.

Did you buy the apps previously?

That's the Catch-22.  They all came loaded on the phone, originally.  I didn't buy them.

A new phone or a used one?

New iPhone 6+.  Came with the apps.

Have you had ony luck with that?I have the same problem. ervery now and the the phone asks me for a password for a username I have never seen. I just cancel and nothing more happens. But it's annoying and I want to know why this is.

thanks pal was helpful

Calm down you lot go to here and hopefully this helps you. It helped me. You can sign into different accounts via your settings. iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store - Apple Support

I had this same issue - I Was not sure which app was causing the issue because I had about 35 waiting to update and the Update all prompted me to add the old owner of the phones apple ID....

I went through the apps 1 at a time - and found the one that was asking for his ID (Luckily was the 2nd ONE!) I then hit update all - and bingo! The 34 Apps updated straight away

I have exactly the same problem .....

You don't understand the problem.

I've been having the same issue and I believe it comes from one thing.

I did a complete cleaning of the HDD and reinstalling of the software in order to give the computer to a family member. In order for the new software to download OS X, it had to download from my apple ID. Once the computer was up and had a clean install we started using our family members apple ID for every login. We began to see the issue that my apple ID showed up in the app store every time and I believe it's because all OS software was downloaded under my Apple ID.

We haven't restarted the computer and reinstalled the software using my family members Apple ID yet but I am really thinking that is the case.

Hope that's helpful.

Ok, so I have updated my iPhone to the latest version, backed it up to iTunes, restored it to original version, and after restoring to an iCloud backup, this lordrene@live.com appears on my phone. Ok, weird, because the entire time of my phones use, it was in my hands, and noone ever logged in it. But I think, it's cool, I don't need the purchases, I am after the pictures, and whatever, so I press "Skip". Then another e-mail pops up. Skip. Then another. Then another. What the actual ****, this is kind of creepy. I have myself unpacked my phone, it was brand new and always in my hands, yet it shows e-mails of people who seem to be from all around the world and NONE of them is mine, while I am clearly connected to my laptop, and the iCloud is logged in to my account.

 

Has anyone found the solution? This is preposterous.

HOLY CRAP. I had to restore my phone and start fresh. When I went to set it up THIS EXACT EMAIL popped up. Like you, I've been to only one to ever touch this phone. I've never jailbroken or have any music loaded. This is just totally weird and I cannot find any reason why it's doing it.

This email LORDEN@LIVE.COM also showed up on my phone, after it was STOLEN, so I google-d it trying to find an answer as to WHO THIS WAS, and ended up finding this thread, where EVERYONE IS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME EMAIL APPEARING, and numerous people are bringing up unrelated facts, issues, suggestions, almost trying to CONFUSE AND COVER UP THE MAIN PROBLEM. This is not normal and should be explained...
