Changing email that appears under your name in settings (Apple ID, iCloud, media and purchases)

How do I change the email that appears under my name when I click on the Apple ID section of settings. I recently changed my Apple ID as I got a new email but my old email is still appearing.

Successfully Assigning your New eMail:

Log back in to your old eMail address. Then, log out of your Apple Account on it. Then, perform the change.


Note:

It's the same ordeal as to when you purchase a used device, and the seller never logged out of their own Apple ID on it, prior to selling it to you.

Do you have no Method of Payment assigned to your account? To download an app (free or paid), you need to have a Method of Payment assigned to your account. So, add a Method of Payment. Even free apps require a Method of Payment, because even free app have items that cane purchased form within them. Go Here: Add a Payment Method to your Apple ID - Apple Support
