Why does my MacBook ask me for the old Apple ID email address?

I recently updated my Apple ID email now my MacBook keeps asking me to login with the old email. I saw an old form that said restart the computer and it should automatically update once it restart that has not worked for me. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?

I can't reset my Mac because Mac keeps asking me "Sign Out of Find Me" for my old Email ... I am trying to reset my Mac, but my Mac won't let me because it keeps asking me to enter the password to my old email that no longer associated to my AppleID. The situation is I have updated my AppleID earlier in the year with a different email (new email that is Current) and updated to a new password too. So my old email, that Mac is asking me password for, firstly the emai no longer associate with my Apple ID and my old password, I don't remember anymore. There is a red font that also says "The operation couldn't be completed. (AKAuthenticationError error -7003" and no matter how many times I do this, in the end, the message also says the email does not exist (old email). So why is Mac still asking for my old email? I am having a whole lot of weird things happening with my Mac and the last thing I want to do is reset it to start it again fresh. I hope someone can help me on this please. In summary with email the response from apple is "This apple ID is either not valid or not supported ......."

Cannot change my Apple ID email address I have a new ISP, so my old email address is no more. I am trying to change my Apple ID email address to my new one. I tried at my Apple Account on the web, but it says the change must be made in the settings of a device. When I go into my system settings under Passwords & Security I can find a window to change my password but not my email address. I am using OS Ventura Version 13.7.8 on an iMac. If replies to this problem go to my old email address they will presumably be lost. My new email address is b****t@bill-longstaff.ca [Edited by Moderator]

Unable to change primary email for Apple Account I only have a Mac computer running 14.1.2, I'm trying to follow the instructions here Change your Apple Account primary email address - Apple Support, I enter the new email I want, and am then presented with this modal. The thing is, on the one part I can only see "Apple ID" in System Settings, I don't know where "Apple account" is located, on the other part I tried looking into every option inside "Apple ID" just in case but couldn't find anything. Anyone know what I have to do? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

just an update after I logged out a second time and restarted the computer and logged back in. It’s still kept the old email address, but it was asking me for the updated password once I put the updated password in there then it reflected the new email address for anyone that has the same issue.
