Many thanks, Barney

Feb 8, 2015 1:37 PM in response to BarneyBGBby gail from maine,Purchases are forever tied to the Apple ID that they were purchased with. If you don't know the password to the old account, you can go to Manage your Apple ID and reset the password for that account: Apple - My Apple ID
If you want the purchases under your new ID, you need to do what Niel indicated and delete the apps that were purchased with that old ID, and re-purchase them under the new ID.
Cheers,
