If my IPad was initially set up on someone else's computer but I have set up my account on the Apps store.
Why is it still bringing up the account it picked up from the initial build?
I'm no expert on this but it sounds like it is defaulting to the iTunes account that it was originally linked to. Is there any chance that you could restore using your own computer? All your apps can be redownloaded for free again afterwards by going to the App Store app and the purchased tab.
