I had to delete my first Apple ID account and set up another. You really cannot delete the old one, but set up a new one. I deleted all my apps on my phone (or just the ones showing updates available) and then went individually downloaded them under my new account. I only had two that I paid for under the old account, but has to buy them again. I an considering buying a Galaxy 5 because of this issue. Apple obviously needs the cash.
