Q: I updated my Apple ID but cannot edit it on my iPhone or in my iCloud account information.  Any suggestions?

Have you already tried to sign out and sign in again (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) and also tried to delete you iCloud account (Settings > iCloud) and add your account back again?

This seems to have worked many thanks

When I try to delete the old icloud account, I am asked for the password for the apple id email address to which I no longer have access. One of the suggestions said to go to manage my apple id, change the current id to the old id, then use the current password to log in to the old id. This won't work because the email address has to be verified before the change of ids can be activated. I no longer have access to the email account, so this fix won't work. Any other ideas?
