Question

I changed my apple id

I changed my apple id (because I have a new email address) but it does not show up on my iPhone, iPad or MacBook. My old apple id is what I see.

Sometimes it needs time to propagate. Wait a few hours.

Also click on this link and read "What to do after [or before] you change your Apple ID [email address] or password" ➔ https://support.apple.com/HT204071 - "After you change your Apple ID email address or password, you might need to update your sign-in information with any Apple services you're using." - Or if you're seeing persistent disabled messages or repeated requests for the password to your previous Apple ID. You may also wish to turn off "Find My" before changing information and turn it on again afterward.

I waited several hours and things did not change. What I did do was to go to settings<my name>, <name, phone numbers, email>Reachable and added my secondary email address which I then selected as the address to forward "HideMe" email addresses. I did this change on my Macbook. When I did that my Apple ID email immediately changed to my new primary email (ie, my new Apple ID email address) on all devices (iPad, iPhone, MacBook).
