changed apple id

I changed my apple id / name / login when my email account changed several years ago. The itunes account information is current with the correct apple id etc including payment information. itunes however still prompts me to login to the old apple id & the 'file' info in 'song info' indicates purchases under the old apple id. How do I correct this?

 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. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID. 


Purchase History Review.   


Or you can try to set up Family Sharing  between the IDs to keep access to your purchases.
