How do I remove an outdated email from my App Store account for app updates? every time i need to update an app, my app store asks for an email, i no longer use, yet when i make a purchase for the first time, it never asks. i'm logged into my gmail account, but when i have to update an app, it asks for my yahoo instead, and says the account is locked out, i wait a few days and get the updated password, and account recovery steps are followed, only to get the same problem, of incorrect password to an account i'm not even using, like its been going on for a while now, and it is affecting my work as i use this device mostly for my office work, how do i find the email that is being used so i can removed it from being accessed by my app store [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: updating of apps

App Store asks for email password instead of Apple ID The App Store is asking me for a password to my email address in order to download an App, instead of asking for my Apple ID. It is of course not working. Any help will be appreciated.
