Changed Apple ID but the old one is still displayed. How do I change to reflect the new one?

I changed my Apple ID as my email was no longer valid. Now, I am unable to update some of the games as it prompts for the Apple ID. Does anyone know what I need to do. I have updated the Apple ID on the ipad at the Application Store successfully but still on the game application, it still displays the old Apple ID.


Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.


Thank you

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

Apps and other items are forever tied to the AppleID used to download them.


Either 1] use the old AppleID when updating apps acquired using that ID, pr

2] delete apps requesting the old AppleID and re-download using the new

AppleID. Apps that require payment will have to be repurchased. There is no

way to combine AppleIDs or to transfer items from one AppleID to another

AppleID.


FYI, it is not necessary to create a new AppleID just to change the email associated

with an old AppleID.
