Q: how do I change my apple id on my Ipad

I recently had to change my email to a new one due to a move. I have updated my apple ID to the new email address, but my IPad 2 still lists the old email address whenever I try to do a download or update to it. How do I get my IPad to switch to the new apple ID email address?

iPad 2, iOS 7.0.4

If the iTunes (and App Stores) are still using the old version of your Apple ID, go to
Settings > iTunes & App Store and sign out of the current ID (at the top), then sign in with the correct ID.

You may also need to change the other places you are logged in, like FaceTime, Game Center etc.
