How do i change the wrong apple id in my app store on my phone

My phone wasn't working right, so I took it to the sprint store to get a new one using my insurance and they gave me a new one. the only weird thing is that when I go to update my apps it asks me to long on to someone else's email. I have gone into my settings and made sure that my apple id was correct but it still pops up when I go to update o even buy apps. I don't know who's email this is. The only thing I can think of, is that its someone from the sprint stores apple id, because they connected my phone to their computer and backed it up and then put it on my computer. All I know it that I'm frustrated and I just want to update my apps.

A brand new phone wouldn't have a stranger's Apple ID appearing for app updates.
Pretty sure that Sprint, Verizon, T-Mo and AT&T all use some returns as replacements for customers.
Not everything they use for replacement is an actual Apple refurb.

In iClouds...How do i change the old Apple ID email to the new one I created with

Do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless using iCloud Photo Library). When finished goThen go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

How do I change the default apple ID that's displayed when buying or updating apps? It's currently defaulting to a no-longer-existing ID, and I don't know how to change it.

Any apps you purchased with the no-longer-existing ID will always have to be updated with the password to that account, you cannot merge account purchases.
To change to your new account go to Settings > Store > Apple ID: and put in the one you want to use.

How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.

When do you get prompted for this ID? If you are asked for an AppleID
you do not know during Activation, contact the seller for assistance. Only
the person who set the Activation Lock can remove it. If the seller refuses
or does not know the requested AppleID and passcode, return the iPhone
for a full refund as it is useless. There is no work around for Activation Lock,
The person who set the lock needs to follow the actions in this link:
Prepare your device to sell or give away
You can check if Activation Lock is the problem here:
https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/
That link will only tell you if the iPhone is Activation Locked - it will not provide
any information about the source of the lock, nor can you get any information
from any source other than the original owner of the iPhone/person who set
the lock.

I merged my Apple ID accounts on my iPhone and iPod...how can I change the iPhone Apple ID account so that the iPod and iPhone has there own?

I think I understand what you mean. You were asked if you wanted to merge the contacts with your iCloud account. Contacts take up very little room and are probably not the reason that your iCloud is full. If you're now backing up two devices to iCloud rather than one, that will indeed take up more room.
You cannot undo the contact merge. You can go to Settings>iCloud on either device and see what categories of stuff you're backing up and make selections. You can also purchase more iCloud space there.

How can i remove the terms and conditions from my app store icon on iphone 5s

Hello mrh1962,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with accepting Terms & Conditions on your iPhone 5s.
First, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

HT2731 Is is it possible to register the same apple ID in different App Stores?

Is is it possible to register the same apple ID in different App Stores meaning in different countries? I have an iPad registered in the Hungarian App Store but now I got an iPhone as well which I want to use in Germany because certain services restricted to the country. Can I use my existing apple ID in the German App Store too or should I create a new one?
Thanks!
Tamas
