iPad 6. Currently updated. It is November 25, 2021: I have several apps looking for updates. I click on one and it asks me to sign in with my password but it is showing an email I haven’t used for 6 years. I dealt with this a way long time ago. And I am signed into my Apple account on the iPad with the correct email. Duh. So how can I update apps when Apple is totally screwed up by somehow using the old email?
iPad, iPadOS 14
Did you change the primary email of your old AppleID (Change your Apple ID - Apple Support), or did you make an entirely new AppleID at some point (How to create a new Apple ID - Apple Support)? It sounds like you made a new AppleID at some point.
Apps are always tied to the AppleID used when making the purchase, and they cannot be transferred from one AppleID to another.

I followed prompts on my iPhone SE that made me think I was changing my Apple ID but instead I seem to now have two separate Apple IDs. Why did it suggest creating an iCloud account when I tried to update my Apple ID email in Settings if all it was going to do was create a second ID? Is there a fix?
Apple has totally missed the boat again with ID and email
