Cannot change Apple ID into App Store - macos

I use Mac OS: 10.9.2. When I update Xcode to 5.1.1 the App Store ask the apple ID. I had log out the current apple ID and login my account but it also ask pass word of the old apple ID(I can not click into the field Apple ID to change the name). Please help me to change apple id or delete the old.
Edit
Finally, I can resolved this. I move to trash all the versions of Xcode which I have in Application. Then go to App Store to install new version of Xcode with my Apple ID.

Reason:
This happens because the app was downloaded using another Apple ID and xcode is tied to that account.
How to solve this ?
Sign in into Mac App Store with “your current ID account” and check under Purchases menu, whether you have xcode.
Also check in System Preferences » App Store » What ID shows below “Automatic download apps purchased...”
If xcode is present under your current ID Purchases (grayed out saying INSTALLED), feel free to erase the app from your HD. An install button must be shown after and you can download and update the app again.
If the above doesn't work, you can get rid of the greyed out Apple ID email by making following selection
Applications » xcode (right click on Show Package Contents) » Contents » and delete the file inside “_MASReceipt” folder (do a backup before just in case).
xcode will still work, you must get rid of the grayed login name.This will work if xcode is already in your curent Apple ID

I was having the same issue.This happens because the app was downloaded using another Apple ID and xcode is tied to that account. If you installs new app then there wont be any issue.
Solution
Go to Applications -> xCode -> Click Show Packaged Content ->
Content -> _MASReceipt -> Receipt. Delete this receipt file. Do not
worry xcode will still work.
Now try to update xcode from app store. You will be able to get app
store id login popup without grayed apple id.
Still you might face some issues as I faced. I got this error. If you are also facing some issue then continue following 3,4 and 5 steps.
Go to application -> Move xCode to trash.
Go to trash -> Put Back xCode.
Go to app store and update the xCode.
It worked for me :)

For me, the locked-in Apple ID was from a former employee. Following steps eventually fixed it for me:
Go to Settings » Users & Groups » Delete the old user account
Start Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions
In the App Store menu, hit Store » Sign Out / Sign In

There's a "Sign Out" option in the App Store app under the "Store" menu.
It looks like this:

How can I delete a bundle identifier managed by Xcode 8.1?

I would like to move my Xcode project to a different Team/Developer Account and use the same App/Bundle ID. I have tried to create the App ID in Apple Developer Centre on the new Account however I get an error that the App ID is not available, which is to be expected.
My Xcode project has Automatically manage signing ticked. I cannot see the Bundle Idenitifier of the project within the list of App IDs within the Developer Centre of the Account that the project is currently associated with. Where are Xcode managed App IDs stored and how do I delete one?
I have definitely managed to do this before Automatically managed signing was introduced, simply by deleting the App ID from the original iOS Developer Account and manually reregistering it on the new account.
Edit: Just to be clear- the App has not been submitted to the App Store, it is still in the Development stage.
The only way I manage to do that is to contact the customer support (Apple Developer Program Support), after few days and few back and forth they finally deleted the bundle id from my Personal Team and I was able to add it to my Developer Program (Agent) profile. I know this is not ideal but at least if you really want to use the same Bundle ID it worked for me.
Remember
I accidentally registered my app ID into my non-paid apple account. That's why I had to contact customer support otherwise you can just delete it from developer portal
I am able to see all Xcode managed app ids in my developer account and am able to delete them from my account.
Go to https://developer.apple.com
Click on Account at the top
Sign In to your developer account
Click on "Certificates, Identifiers, & Profiles"
Navigate to App IDs (under the Identifiers section on the left of the screen)
Find and click on the app id you want to delete. The app id will expand to show more information. (if the bundle id is com.myapps.mytestapp then the name in the developer portal will be "XC com myapps mytestapp")
Tap on "Edit" at the bottom of the app id's section. You'll be navigated to a new page.
Tap "Delete" at the bottom of the page.
You'll be prompted to make sure you want to delete the app id. Hit "Delete" again and you're done.

Cannot change Apple ID in App Store for downloading Yosemite

I want to download the latest version of Mac OSX (Yosemite). But, the app store doesn't let me change the user id for authentication.
Interestingly, I don't know whose apple ID is prepopulated into the text box. I have used my macbook all by myself until now!
I tried to logout and login again. But didn't work.
Does anybody know how should I fix this and download Yosemite?
The Problem is the way Apps are tied to IDs.
A step-by-step guide to solve this problem:
Go to the app listed in the App Store as needing an update (usually in the /Applications folder).
Right click the app then click “Show Package Contents”.
Go into the “Contents” folder, then into the “_MASReceipt” folder.
Delete the “receipt” file (you may need to enter a local administrator username and password).
Please note that the app will still work as intended.
Theres a pretty good explanation in here: http://www.valiant-ny.com/2014/06/grayed-out-apple-id-explained/
In the MacAppStore's task bar go to Store and then log out. Then try it again.
(I have changed my ID to new one in Mac System.
Apple ICON > System Preference > Sign Out > New ID.
And then I changed the App Store ID like below.)
Open App Store
In the top main menu, Select Store > Logout
And the Sign In with new ID

Xcode 6 OS X Submission Error: iOS Apps must have a provisioning profile

I'm having the worst time ever submitting an update to my Mac app. Everything was fine until I updated to Xcode 6. I'm in Mavericks, 10.9.4. I get the following error:
iTunes Store operation failed.
Unable to process application at this time due to the following error: iOS Apps must have a provisioning profile.
I have no idea why it says "iOS." Don't know if that's an Xcode bug or it thinks I'm making an iOS app. I used the same Xcode project file to submit the Mac app in the previous Xcode.
I have tried the following with no results:
• Revoked and deleted all certificates and provisioning profiles and started over.
• I created all certificates, provisioning profiles manually rather than Xcode managing them.
• Set the provisioning profile in "release" in the target and in a different occasion, in the project file.
• Gone into the project info and created a separate configuration.
The only "weird" thing I would say that I could be doing insanely obviously wrong is when I look at the options for code singing identity for release, it says "Mac Developer:yata" but there is no option for "Mac Distribution:(myname)" Should there be? I didn't need that in the past. Also, the only options that I can select are in a section called "identities in keychain." Should there be another section? "Identities in Xcode?"
Thank you for anyone that can help. I'll try pretty much anything at this point.
Solution for my case:
I got error in validation stage.
On organizer we see:
1) Go to Apple download page and download xCode 5.1.1
2) Double click on xcode_5.1.1.dmg
3) Copy xCode.app to Desktop
4) Rename xCode.app -> xCode511.app
5) Move xCode511.app -> Applications
6) Close xCode 6.1
7) Work with validation and upload in xCode511.app
UPDATED
8) Be careful ! ITC.apps.validation.prerelease_build_missing
I don't have Xcode right now, but here are the steps:
Delete your certificate and provisioning, both your mac and iTunes account
Regenerate the certificates and provisioning profile (distribution)
Download double click
Go to the account tab, then view account
All certificates and profiles will be listed refresh the stuff there
Clean and rebuild your app with the right provision and 3 party Mac developer
archive, validate and submit (select the right provison and match the app)
voila!
EDIT
Everything you will ever need to know :
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/Introduction/Introduction.html
I was having the same problem... finally I click on Submit and it worked! It seems that the problem is on Validate only.
Okay so our problem was that our company name had an apostrophe in it ---- could have the same issue if you have quotes in your company name as well. I contacted Apple for them to change it and then uploading worked from Xcode 5.1.1.

How to update Xcode with a new Apple ID?

I've recently changed apple ID and I've downloaded xCode on mac with another apple ID.
Not the mac store informs me there is a new version for xCode but I need to insert password of the older Apple ID, and I can't just use the new one. It seems the app is associated with the old apple ID.
I can't even download a new xCode using the new apple id, because it only gives me the option to update it with the old Apple ID.
To make the AppStore forget the old credentials with which the app was downloaded, you must remove the _MASReceipt directory in the app itself.
To do this:
Open Finder and navigate to Applications,
Ctrl+Click XCode and choose "Show Package Contents",
Expand the Contents directory and click _MASReceipt to select it,
Type Command+Delete to delete the directory permanently---you will be prompted for your credentials since this is a protected file.
Quit and restart AppStore, then find XCode. The button should now say "Free" or "Install" instead of "Update". Clicking it will update your XCode to the latest version as the currently logged-in Apple user.
Assuming you have the issue where you are getting the error
To update this application, sign in to the account you used to
purchase it.
on the App Store app, go to Store --> Sign Out
and then do the stuff suggested here
check this fix from Beartech at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2794280?start=15&tstart=0
The App Store used Spotlight in some way. My fix was to add the entire
HD to the "Privacy" tab in the Spotlight System prefs pane, close the
prefs and wait 30 seconds, re-open and remove your HD from the Privacy
tab. Spolight begins reindexing. Re-opened the App Store and problem
was fixed! Posting this here for others who might search later on.
Also filed a bug report with Apple.
hope this fixes the issue for you!
edit: I think this is a different issue compared to what I had. Your only option is probbaly to delete xcode, and download with your new Apple ID
To add an Apple ID account
Choose Xcode > Preferences.
At the top of the window, click Accounts.
In the lower-left corner, click the Add button (+) .
Choose Add Apple ID from the pop-up menu.
In the dialog that appears, enter your Apple ID and password, and
click Sign In.
To remove an Apple ID account
Choose Xcode > Preferences.
Click Accounts at the top of the window.
Select the Apple ID account you want to delete in the left column.
Click the Delete button (–) in the lower-left corner.
Follow link for source and detailed information.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/AppDistributionGuide/ManagingAccounts/ManagingAccounts.html
open a folder
Finder-> Go -> Applications
then find Xcode in the folder.
Right click on the Xcode. -> Get Info
at the bottom, there is Sharing & Permissions, open it, click on the lock icon on the right corner.
make Read & Write for everyone in the list.
then wait 5-10 seconds. just try update Xcode again. it will start to updating...
As NSPostWhenIdle said: "Delete Xcode, and reinstall it using the new Apple ID."
For XCode 5
Xcode menu > Preferences > Accounts
At the bottom left, click the +
Click on Add Apple ID.
I had a somewhat similar issue. My AppleId was changed- the username - from "ab***" to "ab***#gmail.com". The new format requires an email address, and my AppleId dates back many years. I suddenly couldn't export anything from Xcode. How I fixed it:
Preferences/Accounts
Delete old AppleId
Add new AppleId.
Apple seemed to sort itself out on the backend and the only issue was Xcode hanging around to old references to defunct and/or bad usernames (to the same keyed account. Go figure.)
If you restore your device to 13.3.0 will fix your problem, it worked for me

How can I change the Apple ID that Xcode 4 uses to download components?

I am running Xcode 4.2 on OS X 10.6.8.
Due to corporate policy, I have two Apple ID's. me#bigcorp.com is my "work" ID, and that's the ID that is connected to my iOS Developer Program membership. I also have me#personalmail.com, my "personal" ID, which is associated with my music, Angry Birds download, and so on.
I'm trying to install the iOS 4.3 Simulator from within Xcode (Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads -> Components). When I click the "install" button next to that component, Xcode complains that me#personalmail.com is not a "Registered Apple Developer". I'd like to have it use me#bigcorp.com, but I can't find any reference anywhere that describes how to change it, within Xcode or otherwise. Can anyone explain how to beat Xcode into submission?
You can change the Apple Developer ID that Xcode has associated using Mac OS X's Keychain Access app:
Quit Xcode
Open Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access
Locate the Keychain entry named "daw2.apple.com ([your Apple ID])" of kind Internet password
Delete this Keychain entry and retry the download in Xcode by re-entering your credentials, or double click on the entry and update the Account and Password fields
Open Xcode and retry the content download
It's 2014 and I still got this answer by searching the error that pops up.
If you're using Xcode 5+, you can go to Xcode > preferences > accounts and add as many dev accounts as you would like.
