Sign in to iTunes message - wrong email address

Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
It could also be possible that you have content installed on the device that was originally purchased with a different Apple ID than your own. To check for any apps that might have been installed with a different Apple ID, open the App Store and tap "Updates". If you're prompted for an Apple ID other than your own when you attempt to update an app, you may need to delete it and redownload it using your Apple ID.
Take care!

This is currently happening to me with my new iPhone X on the most recent software update with all apps up to date. It appears to only be related to iiTunes. My thoughts are that there are specific songs in my library that were originally purchased on someone else’s account (I think I had taken them off an iPod I bought.) Is there a way to stop these notifications? It’s happening for 3 or 4 different email addresses.

I am having this issue with the iPhone X I just bought today, but it's not any one Apple ID I recognize, it's like 5 or 6 random spammy-looking email addresses. They popped up when I was doing the restore at the Apple store, and the sales rep had me log into iCloud and verify that there weren't any mysterious email addresses there, and there were not. He said not to be concerned about it. Well now I'm home and the restore is complete and I'm getting random pop-ups saying "Sign in to the iTunes Store" - Enter the password for your Apple ID. And then it lists one of several random emails like "s_neu@t-online.de". I can't seem to clear this pop-ups. Any idea where they're coming from or how to get rid of them?

My problem is associated w/ iTunes, too. I think it might be because I'm trying to authorize my phone and/or a new computer so I can re-download music I bought under an earlier email address.

What to do?

I found the solution to this, for me.

I had the same problem. Everything says I'm logged into one email address Apple ID, but when I go to update apps it asks me to sign in with a different email/Apple ID.

Cause: I must've downloaded those apps using the old Apple ID.

Solution: delete those apps and re-download them. It doesn't ask for the wrong Apple ID email anymore. Yes!

Were you ever able to resolve this issue? I just got a new iPhone 8 and am having this problem. Pop ups are so frequent that I literally can't even use my phone.

Hi there,

Did you find a solution for the itunes worng email address message ?

I got confronted with the same issue, and would be happy if you could tell me how to resolve this.

Had the same problem when I bought my new iPhone 7. They fixed the loop with a subsequent iOS update. Download the new iOS and the prompts go away.

This just happened with my husband's phone. All I did was clear out the incorrect email and fill in his correct email and password for iTunes and the annoying prompt has not come back!

Delete the one that you are updating and install it. Again with your Account ID
