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?

HP, iPad 64 with 3G and wifi

I had this same issue... and after reading all these posts, decided to go and try myself... and think.


I went to the app store portion of settings, then it still had my old AppleID, I clicked on the ID and then pressed "Sign out" then sign in, it will still have the old account, so click cancel or whatever option and proceed to sign in, pressing "choose existing account" and enter the NEW details, and click ok.


Should work fine now, mine updated and is good to go!
