Trying to update apps but I keep having my friends email pop up as the iTunes Store email account for verification to update them. (She gave me ipad she used to use) thing is the one she gave me doesn’t work she doesn’t know why but I’ve already changed the Apple account on my ipad to my email so why can’t or won’t it ask me for mine? if I’m going to purchase or download a app I get my email password request but then when I get a notice to update an app hers pops up? How do I fix this I’ve tried finding it in every setting but it all has my info! ? So why is her email popping up for app updates? Note: new to Apple and iPads so sorry it’s midnight idk what model this is ? It’s an iPad.. ? Thanks ahead anyone that can help!

Two things to remember.


1. Anything your friend has downloaded using her ID etc is on her account and cannot be transferred to you. Moreover, it / they can only be updated using the original ID that was used for the original download.


2. In any event, title to these apps cannot be passed on. If you want them you will need to buy them for yourself on your account.


Get your friend to remove her account and start afresh.
