Help question

When i go to update an app in the appstore it says that the username is blackdeath@apple.com and wont let me log in or do any updates at all. Has anyone else ever had this issue or know how to fix it?

Open Settings, go to Store, and tap sign out. Then sign back in with your username. You should then be able to update your apps as usual.

EDIT:

It sounds like to pirated the app. Please just buy it.

Not necessarily. It is possible that someone else could have just been signed in.

Sync your phone to your itunes library on your computer. If you've recently hooked in to a different computer it may cause their info to show up on your phone.

Ah, I see. The reason that is happening is because blackdeath@apple.com originally downloaded the app. Delete it, and download it under your own account, and you should be good to go.
