Why do you want to change your Apple ID? A better solution is to change one's Apple ID Password, keeping the same ID. The reason is Apps downloaded or purchased under an ID remains with that ID forever. If you change the Apple ID, you'll have to sign out of the App Store every time there is an update for one of those apps, sign back in under the old ID, or delete them and purchase them again under the new ID.

I have an Ipad that I've been unable to use for years. I used to have an hotmail address that I can't get into anymore and I have been on tech support for hours trying to help me out. Microsoft can't find my old password either. at this point I might as well use the ipad for a cuttingboard.......................I give up

Thanks

Ps. I did have Itunes too and I can stil get in there but not exactly interested in apple stuff anymore.
