Apps need updating but APP store won't...

Hi

I have a new iphone and old apps. I tried to update the old apps but its saying they were bought with a different ID. It was my old ID - this *****. Anything I can do about this?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Did you create a new ID when you got the new phone? If so, there was no need to do that. Did you change the Apple ID at some point? Have you tried Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Sign out of the "wrong" ID and sign in with the old one or the one that was used to make the purchases.

This is the notice I have - I did not refund or cancel the app.


The ID was changed a few years ago. I do not remember the old password for the old ID.


"Update Unavailable with This Apple ID"

"This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."



Adam - How do you delete and reinstall? Wouldn't I have to have the old ID and password?
