Cannot update software in my iPhone 3gs (sw version 6.1.6) because App Store prompts always an obolete Apple ID which is dimmed. I can update software in the iPhone using my MacBook but the computer is not always available. I have changed the Apple ID but my iPhone using the Mac Book but the iPhone does not recognize this.

The crucial question is: How to get rid of the obsolete (old) Apple ID? The problem lies somewhere inside the iPhone. Has this something to do with software protection? Should I buy a new iPhone and leave the old working device which I like very much?

My old Apple ID was still on my phone. I am telling you now there is no way to just change it from your phone. I had to back up my phone onto my computer then delete everything on my phone. Then I uploaded everything back on and it reset my apple ID and iTunes and app ID. Everything was back on my phone and I could actually log in with my Apple ID. And it will delete any ringtones that you bought. I hope this helps.
