Changed email address in Apple id, can't update apps

Hello
I recently changed the email address associated with my Apple ID, so now I sign in to the iTunes store with the new email address. iTunes shows me in the Library that there are a bunch of app updates available. However, when I click on the arrow next to the '16 updates available' link, it takes me to the store view which informs me 'No updates are currently available. To check updates for another account, sign in with that account.' I don't have another account and I think this is happening because I changed the email address. Is there a way to clear this up, i.e. get the store to recognize the new email address with the old account info and apps?
Thanks very much!

Try changing your e-mail address back to see it iTunes is working properly. If that doesn't work, then at least you know you have a serious problem with the Apple Store.

Apple ID can't update apps

When I go to the App store I am able to sign in to the welcome section under quick links.
But when I want to download updates for apps under updates ( Imovie etc )...in the app store, it will prompt me to sign in to the app store again...I can't because the email address is non-writeable.
I updated my email address (and missed a dash - ) unfortunately that seems to be where the problem lies.
I have no trouble signing into the app store (using a correct apple ID), it's only when I want to download updates that I can't sign in.
Forgot password is erelivent because it will just send the notification to the *incorrect email (because it's missing a dash I never get the email)
*Sign in to download from the app store (Apple ID is wrong and I can't change it cuz it's non-writeable)
Downloading apps is fine, but I can't update them because of the incorrect email in Apple ID box.
Any ideas?

BelialWSOA,

TS3988 Can someone please help me?   I have an Iphone 5 and Love it except for one thing. I changed email address from yahoo to Gmail and updated it on my Apple ID at Apple. Apple recognizes and accepts this change but Icloud won't update the new email

I have an Iphone 5 and Love it. Except for one thing; I recently changed from ymail email account to a gmail account. I updated it on the
Apple/ Itunes site and it does accept the change. I can still access the APP store and Itunes.
However, sometimes I get a pop up box from Apple showing the old email address and asking me to sign in..... I hit cancel and move on.   But, now Icloud keeps popping up promting me to sign in and it shows the old email which I don't have anymore.... I tried signing in with the old info to clear it off screen of my phone but, it doesn't allow and I hit cancel and it goes away. only to appear later again.... This is so frustrating and annoying.    Is there any way to get the Icloud to update the email address with my Apple ID log in info--without having to delete stuff or lose things on my phone?
Please help?
Dia

Changing email address on apple ID

Hi can anyone help me please, I recently changed my email address and changed it on my apple ID but my IPad doesn't recognise my new address on IBooks and won't let me purchase anything, I've checked with Apple and my new email and password are verified so how do I get it changed on IBooks?
Thanks

You may also try signing in on a computer, then sync your device. While your device is connected to the computer, sign in on the device using the updated Apple ID.

HT201272 I changed my email address and now I can't update my apps

I am unable to update purchases I made with my old email address since I updated my apple account with my new email.
When I try to update an old app I am prompted to put in my password for my old address, therefore it does not recognise the password, and password reminder doesn't work as its not the email in my account anymore.
How can I update these apps or change the email address associated with them?

Did you just change your address, or create a new iTunes account? If it is not a new account you will first have to fix the password problem. Email iTunes Store support if you cannot figure out how to resolve the problem. Have you updated your login on the phone, in addition to iTunes on your computer?
To update your iPhone you need to install the latest version of iTunes (10.5). You also need an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4. The 3G cannot be upgraded beyond 4.2.1.

Changing email address for Apple ID

My sister has a bit of a problem. She has an old email address associated with her itunes store account. She has since purchased a Mobile Me account and wants to use that as her Apple ID for iTunes but she doesn't want to lose her purchases. We tried editing her account info but she can't change the email address to the Mobile Me address because iTunes sees it as an already created Apple ID. Does anyone know a way to use the Mobile Me address and still have all of the purchased content from the old ID work with it?
Thanks,
DJ

I have changed my Apple ID email but when I need to download apps on iPad or iPod it keeps commish up with my old email address si I cannot download or update apps or iTunes

I have changed my Apple ID to new email and new password. Apple confirmed changes. Now when I need to download apps or iTunes purchases it asks me to verify and put in password for my previous email and password, which it declines the old password as obviously the email is wrong but I do not get option to change email only to rest password. How do I rectify this.

Hello Jamcef,
Thank you for the question. Use these steps to change the Apple ID signed into the iTunes Store:
Sign in with a different Apple ID
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.
Or if you don't have another Apple ID, tap Create New Apple ID.

Changed apple ID - Can't update apps

Help! I changed my apple id bc my last name changed. When I try to update the apps i had purchased with my old id my old apple ID pops up and it wants a password. I entered previous pw and new one but no lUck. Technically the old ID was changed so it doesn't exist.....anyone else experience this? What do I do? I have over 65 updates.

If you updated the old account id as opposed to creating a new account then try logging out of the account by tapping on in Settings > Store and then log back with the updated version and see if that refreshes the account on the iPad.
If you created a new account then you will to continue to use the old account to update and re-download its purchases and downloads.

HT5312 I changed my email address and apple is ok wih it but iCloud still has my old email address and is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my iCloud account email address corrected and also get my new password

Hi
I changed email addresses but iCloud sill has my previous address registered. It also is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my new email address into the iCloud system, and also lodge a new password with them?
I'm using an ipad and all else is ok but not icloud.

Welcome to the Apple community Ross.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

I changed my apple ID email address, and now I can't access my iCloud because it was listed with the previous email address. What can I do?

If the old ID ("email address") is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
