Can’t make an update

Can’t make an update to my Apps on my MacBook.


When I click on update, the screen shown in the attached picture appears, this email is not mine, and I want to change it in the App store.

A request for another Apple ID password is often caused by updates to apps/purchases that were made when using the other ID. Those purchases are tied to the other ID and can't be transferred. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. After deleting the apps, it may be necessary to restart the device/computer before you can download the apps again. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.
