How do you fix Cannot be updated because it was refunded or purchased with a different Apple ID?
Answer: A: If those apps were originally purchased with that other AppleID, then you cannot update them with your AppleID. You will need to delete them and purchase them with your own AppleID. Purchases are forever tied to the AppleID used at the time of original purchase and download.
