Temporarily change the primary email back to the old one and then remove it from Settings>iCloud then you can change it back. Follow the article below to temporarily change the email:

Aug 20, 2014 12:59 AMby alanmichael1957,It all began when we tried to buy an app...after we changed the email account ...we started just logging in....says password incorrect...which is wasn't....so set one just in case, so then try deleting with new set password and still says incorrect password. The delete/wrong password was just continuously flashing up without a chance to input any data.
Yet in the iPhone....it deleted the account and allowed new if...and on our Apple TV box...

Aug 20, 2014 2:53 AMby Alfred DeRose,Sounds like you created a new Apple ID rather than changing the email on your old account. This causes issues when updating or buying apps because all content is ties to the Apple ID it was purchased or downloaded with in the case of free content.
How did you change the email address?

Aug 20, 2014 2:59 AMby alanmichael1957,My partner did it....I believe went to change Apple ID and also the Mail setting.
I have all current updates. The old email is with bt and that account is now closed so cannot access to reset a password via that. I have signed in and out of accounts...Apple ID is showing as new account it is ONLY the iCloud tab and it gives me no way to edit it at all.
As mentioned this ipad is linked to Alan's iPhone and that account worked...
