Changed email address now apps won't update

I changed my email address with iTunes store and in the Store settings on my Touch (1st Gen, software 3.1.3). Everything syncs OK, but I can't update my apps because the pop-up account verification box on my Touch still contains my old email address and it can't be changed. In the iTunes store in shows that I have updates available, but when I click to view them is says that I have none.
I've tried the suggestion at this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2543640&tstart=45
without any success. I have reset my iPod without success.
Any help appreciated

iTunes Store Customer Support eventually came up with the solution. Apparently you can't update your iTunes Store account using MobileMe ID. I tried that but the process created a new account instead, without my knowledge, using my advised change of email address as the account name. I signed in to the iTunes Store with this newly created account and the updates proceeded without a problem. I also changed the Store settings in my iPod to the new account, and I can now update my apps that way as well. My only problem now is that I have at least 5 iTunes Store accounts, perhaps more, and they cannot be merged. Hmmmm ...

  • I changed email address, now my phone keeps asking me for my Apple ID password with the old email address as the username, I am still able to access everything I need to but it keeps popping up

    I changed my email address, now I constantly get a pop-up asking me for my Apple ID Password, showing my old email address.  I am able to access everything but it is annoying.

    Try:
    Settings>Store...tap the ID shown...sign out...now sign back in with your new ID.

  • I changed my apple ID email and my apps won't update because it keeps using my old AppleID email

    I only changed the email address so I could actually receive my email receipts etc.
    I also changed it on my icloud account and deleted the old AppleID. It has changed on everything except when I go to update my apps it always pulls up my old AppleID. Even when I put in the password it says it is wrong. I have tried resetting it but it also states that my information on file is wrong.
    Really not sure what to do here.

    I didn't generate a new appleID. I changed the email on my apple ID so now it won't even recognize my old ID or password. I tried restting m\y password but it said my birthday didn't even match and I asked to send an email to reset the password on my old account but I have yet to receive an email. I get that i need to log into the old account, thats fine, the issue is that even doing that won't work and I didn't change the password on the old account so I don't know WHY it is not being accepted.

  • Changed appleid, then changed back and now apps don't update

    I recently changed my appleid to a new email address, resulting in me not being able to update any of my apps from the previous appleid, (and trust me i tried everything), but now i switch it back to the old appleid(after hours of problem solving) but now the old apps ask for my old appleid but when i try to update them nothing happens, i enter my password then nothing happens. litterally goes back the saying an update is availible but everytime i try to update the app it doesnt. Please help

    Please provide more detail. How was your account changed? What changed? What errors do you get (if any) when trying to update an app? We are kind of going blind here with such vague description of your issue.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

    Hi @elc088! Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!
    If you're referring to BlackBerry ID, then you need to perform a Security Wipe before you can login using your new credentials. Make sure you have a backup because this will delete all of your data.

  • Changing email address on iphone APPS page

    i recently changed my itunes email address. when i tried to update my apps on my iphone 3g, it brought up my former email address to log in with, which was unsuccessful, as i changed my email address?? any help??

    Sign in to the store on your computer, then sync your phone. When you sync your iPhone or iPod touch with your computer, the account last used to access the iTunes Store from the computer is synced to the mobile device for use in the iTunes Store from the device as well. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311

  • How can I change email address on my ICloud account?  It won't let me change old e-mail address.

    How can I change email address on Icloud?  It won't let me delete old email address so I can enter new email address.

    Are you trying to change the email address which forms the login? Or the @icloud.com address you created when you opened the account? You can't change the latter.
    You can change the login address as long as it isn't an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address.
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

    If it is the third party apps crashing - try downloading another app - any free app is fine. See if that resets the other apps.
