How to change Incorrect Apple ID in Apple Store

The Apple Store on my iMac indicates I have an update.

I go to the store and select Update All.

It presents a dialog box with the password field active.

However the Apple ID field that is inactive (faint grey) shows my wife's Apple ID.

#1 Can I find out how my wife's ID got there?

#2 Though it shows that I'm signed into the Apple Store with my Apple ID, it presents this dialog box with my wife's. And if I sign out of the store and sign back in the same thing happens. Really weird.

I decided to click on the "forgot Apple ID or password". It asked me to confirm all my account info including credit card and then said they would inform me in a couple of days. Very odd.


Any suggestions?


Thank you.

iMac 27″, macOS 10.14

Thank you. Very helpful.


However, it now presents me with a different problem.


The Apple Store is trying to update an application that is on my wife's CCC backup on my external drive. That drive holds our daily clones.


I need to find a way to stop the Apple Store from searching on other than my internal HD. Hmmmm. Suggestions appreciated.


Thanks again.
