how do I change my apple id on my iphone?

I changed my apple ID on the website, but my phone doesn't recognize it. It defaults to the old one and will not allow editiing. It won't accept either the old or new password. In other words, I can't log in to itunes or the app store from my phone since I changed my Apple ID and password. What do i do?

I too have a similar problem. I am logged into the Store and Icloud on my iphone 4 using my new user ID (which I had to change to when I upgraded to IOS5 as my old one wasn't an email) and my new password.


All works well except when I try to update apps on my phone I get a window still showing my old ID and asking for my password. Neither my old nor new password work for that old ID.


So I am undable to update my apps.


I've tried logging out of the Store within settings and logging back in but the issue persists. Ugh.
