Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I work at a university and was supposed to have used a catch-all university email address when setting up my iPads. I did not know this and used my personal email address. I want to change it to the university email address. How do I do this?

Pads. I did not know this and used my personal email address. I want to change it to the university email address. How do I do this? I keep getting a message saying that the email is in use.

As you’ve discovered, changing your Apple ID is the wrong approach. The correct approach is to erase your iPad and start over, never involving your personal address. This is how you cleanse your iPad.
