May 2, 2016 4:24 PMby Demo,I Think that what Niel means is that if your apps are still associated with an old Apple ID - you should delete them and purchase them again with the new ID. However, this is only necessary if you created a new Apple ID. If you changed the Apple ID because you got a new email address, the old apps should still be associated with that ID,
Can you expound in complete sentences with details, please?

SO bear with me. Alright so if that's the case how would I know if any of my apps with old email? I really don't think any are. But how
can I check? The problem is when I try to update my apps. It shows my old email. I did everything they Suggested.
put in my email address but then it requires me to get new password. I even went and made sure my email was the same in other things. But still won't work. I don't know what to do.

Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
If you simply changed the ID, you should be able to update the apps using the updated ID. You should follow all of the steps in this support article.
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
If you created an entirely new Apple ID, then you will not be able to update the apps that you bought with the old ID because purchases are always tied to the ID that was used to make the purchase.
Did you change your ID or create a new one?
