How do I change the iTunes account to match the account I have used to log onto the iPad?

I am trying to download an app on my iPad but it is asking me for a password to an iTunes account that doesn't exist any more. How do I change the iTunes account to match the account I have used to log onto the iPad?

1.

It depends on what you did with that 'iTunes account'. If you have deleted it, it is no longer valid, it simply no longer exists and it no longer works.


To understand about a deleted Apple ID, see the Apple articles below:

2.

If you stil have / know that that 'iTunes account' check your Apple ID via your email box, see this Apple article: If you forgot your Apple ID

Your Apple ID is the personal account you use with all Apple products and services. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as the contact, payment, and security details that you use with Apple.

You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.
