How to change Apple ID on iPad?

Hey Guys ~

I have posted this question every where and no one seems to know how to help me. I changed my email address at iTunes. Which is my ID, obviously. But it is all set up at itunes, and on my iPad too, via settings.

But ~

When I go to update my 11 updates, it pops up with my old ID/email, which no longer is operating.

So I can't update my apps or purchase from itunes through my iPad. Yes, I have gone to Settings, and signed out, signed back in, with NEW ID/email, and that is all good...


But updating my apps ~ still has my old email.

Help? Please?

Hi,


I have a question. I recently had my iPhone stolen. On that Apple ID I also had my iPad. I now have a new phone and decided to create a new Apple ID (I feel safer this way). My question is, can I simply change Apple ID info on my iPad to the new one and everything will work fine (and will not be connected to the old one in any way) or is it better to erase everything and set up as a new device? I don't have that many apps on my iPad and the only ones that are ''purchased'' are Keynote, Numbers and Pages (obviously they were free but now I'd have to pay for them). I don't even use these. But I would still want to keep everything as it is, I just don't want any link to the old Apple ID, because it is associated with a stolen device. I hope you understand. Can anybody answer this for me or is it better to call Apple and see what they can do?


Thanks a lot!
