Apr 29, 2012 7:06 AM in response to sspeters28by KC7GNM,You can't. You have to use the original apple ID you used to purchase apps from. If you do start buying from a different apple ID then all the apps you bought from the old ID cannot be updated unless you change your ID back to the old one. I suggest you not do that as you will find it difficult to change between ID's when updating apps.

Apr 29, 2012 7:27 AM in response to KC7GNMby sspeters28,Actually, I found another thread on Apple.com that showed me how to sign out and sign back into the store with the new appleID and it's been fine.
Was able to update old apps... buy new apps.
No issues

Jan 9, 2013 7:26 PM in response to sspeters28by LSherlock,Hey Guys - I just figured it out. After you verify your new email address with Apple, go to "Settings" on your iPhone. Scroll down to "iTunes & App Store." Then click on your Apple ID and hit "sign out." Then sign back in with the updated email address.
