Correct. All purchases are tied permanently to the Apple ID with which they were purchased. Either you have to use your father's Apple ID to update the apps or repurchase them using your Apple ID.


So that you don't misunderstand AnaMusic's last sentence: you cannot simply download them again unless they were free apps. You must repurchase them using your Apple ID.
