    The problem appeared a few days ago. When I try to update my apps, it comes up with a wrong apple ID. It only happens when I try to update my apps. When I want to download a new one, it's totally fine and comes up with the right apple ID. Will updating to 5.1 fix the problem? I'm still on 5.1. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    Have you signed out and signed back in under Settings - Store?

    I have signed in and signed out. It's weird because the problem didn't appear like after instaliing or updating an app. It just like appeared out of nowhere. Maybe it has something to do with 5.1 maybe.

    I've had this happen to me before. For me it was because if you have a song bought from a friend's iTunes account in your library, it will try all of the email addresses of the accounts that any songs were bought from.

    Yeah, but like, pretty much most of my apps are from a different account and the problem didn't appear. I has 230 apps in my library on mah pc. I can't be bothered to go find all the ones from whick the thing wants to connect to. I will try tommorow morning and delete all the apps and back up the save games and stuff to my pc. Gonna let you know how it went tommorow. Thanks for your help guys.

    Forgot about writing what I found. Even after deleting all of the apps from the other account, it still wants ro connect with the wrong one.
