The next time you log into an app store, you will have to enter your new Apple ID and password as well as verify the new Apple ID to enter the app store. Thankfully though, Apple acknowledges this as an annoyance and has baked in a feature within the Mac App Store, allowing you to save your password and download the free stuff without worrying.

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 Split screen on imac. 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.

Change Apple Id For App Store Mac Free
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 notworry xcode will still work.
- Now try to update xcode from app store. You will be able to get appstore 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

Your Apple iPhone lets you keep in touch with business associates, friends and family through a number of means including voice calls, emails, text messages and chatting in real time using a chat application like Comm100 Live Chat iPhone Chat App. Applications, also known as apps, are accessible for downloading via the iTunes Store as well as the Mac App Store. To log in into the stores, you must enter your Apple ID and password – account information created during your iPhone’s initial setup that is easily changed via iTunes’ “Manage your account” component.
1.Navigate to the “My Apple ID” link in your browser and enter your current Apple ID and password. Click the “Sign In” button to log in to your Apple account.
2.Click the “Edit” link under the heading “Apple ID and Primary Email Address.” Enter the new email address you want to use as your Apple ID – this new address will log you into any app store that requires an Apple ID, such as the iTunes store.
3.Click the “Save Changes” button to finalize the app store login change. Click the “Sign Out” link to exit the “My Apple ID” website. The next time you log into an app store, you will have to enter your new Apple ID and password as well as verify the new Apple ID to enter the app store.
Tip
- Make a note of your new Apple ID so you don’t forget it or enter the old one in an app store – create a sticky note within your iPhone and enter the new Apple ID or write it on a card and keep it in your wallet.
