This is a weird issue, I've looked and I can't seem to find it answered anywhere - I'll try and explain it so that it makes sense!

Short version: when I look at the apps page for my iPhone in iTunes, it shows apps from the wrong account

I used to share an iTunes account with my ex for apps etc. After we broke up, I started using my own account, and have re-downloaded all the apps I need on my own account. My phone, iTunes, everything is logged into my own account and I never get prompted any more for the old one.

However, if I plug my phone into my iMac and open the Apps page for the phone in iTunes, it shows apps downloaded on the old account (only from before I changed accounts) but not the new one. The home screens & current apps on my phone show up correctly on the right hand side, but the list on the left is incorrect.

The issue has persisted since I recently upgraded my phone (I restored from iCloud backup so as not to lose my activity data, but this may be one of the reasons it persisted), and despite logging both iTunes and the phone out of my account and then back in again.

Hope that makes sense... I can post screenshots if that helps to clarify.

I'll admit it's a relatively minor issue, but it's odd and a little annoying - I'd love to hear if anyone has any thoughts on how to fix it!

Thanks in advance!
