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.

I changed my email address and now i can no longer download apps. Also, how do you upgrade to a new version?

I changed my email address and updated it to my married name. As a result, when I try to download an app, it keeps telling me that I have the wrong password, despite resetting my password.
I have not "upgraded" to the new OS for quite a while... When I try to download an app, it states that I need "OS 3.2".. or some later version...
How do you update to a new version. It keeps telling me to go to itunes.com and click on update. I'm not seeing this at all.

HT201342 i changed my email address and now I can not access iCloud because the old address keeps popping up.

i changed my email address and now I can not access iCloud because the old address keeps popping up.

Is this happening on your iOS device or your Mac?
And is the iOS device or Mac signed into the old ID ("email") in Settings>iCloud (System Preferences>iCloud)?

I changed my apple id, and now I can't update my apps that were purchased/downloaded from my old apple id....HELP!!

I am getting frustrated because I can't update my apps that were downloaded under the old apple id. Any thoughts on how to fix this? I have already tried signing back in under my old apple id and it says that that id is no longer in use.

Applications are connected to the Apple ID that they were purchased/downloaded with. If you updated your ID, you should be able still sign in with that ID, if you are logged into that ID on the phone. However, if you created a new Apple ID, then you would not be able to use that ID to update the apps.

I changed my apple id and now I can't update my apps or download new ones. I've changed the ID in my iphone settings, but when I go in the apps store my old ID shows up. If I change my settings back to the old ID my password doesn't work. HELP!

So I changed my Apple ID. Now on my Iphone I can't update things from the apps store or download new stuff. I went into settings and changed my ID there, but in the apps store it still shows up as my old ID. The apps store won't let me log on with the new one, as my old still shows up, and if I go back into settings and change it back to the old ID the password I had before no longer works. This ***** Apple. You just ruined my Iphone!!! My phone went from being cool to being junk since I am not unable to download or update apps...the coolest part of my phone. Someone help??? Please tell me how I can enjoy my phone and apps again...

Thank you for the response, but I ended up temporarily resetting my Apple ID... It was a pain, but it worked in the end.

HT204053 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?

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.

I changed my email address and now some songs won't authorize

I had to change my email address and now the songs purchased and authorized with my old email wont load or play? It's happened to 36 songs I purchased with Itunes and I don't want to spend $36 to get them back. How can I authorize the old songs when Itunes no longer recognizes my old address?

I guess I should clarify, what actually is happening is that when I attempt to play or burn a song downloaded when I had the old aol.com account, it says "you are not authorized to play X song. You must authorize your computer to play all songs purchased by 'karitag' (which was my old apple id through aol). Would you like to authorize now?" When I try to authorize it tells me that the apple id "karitag" does not exist. Well, it doesn't, because when that email account expired I converted to a regular iTunes account using my email address. Keep in mind this has only been an issue since I downloaded iTunes 7. It's just so frustrating to have half of my iTunes library (over 800 songs!) inaccessible.

HT201356 I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist?

I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist.
I have alternate icloud email attached to my iPad and I accidentally delete it from appleid.apple.com. And now I can't log out that iCloud account because it doesn't exist and it can't recognize my password.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand 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 email address and now cannot get into my icloud account to change that because I don't know the password

I changed my email address and my password on my ipad but when I tried to change the address on my icloud account it keeps asking me for my old password which I no longer know. I can't delete the account because I can't access it without the old password

I had to change my password for one of my Email addresses and now I can not get mail into Firefox.

I had to change my password for one of my Email accounts ([email protected]) and now I can not get the mail to go into Mozilla Firefox and I don't know how to change the password in Mozilla to get the mail into it.
I looked at how to change my password but the options you told me to use were not available. I clicked on tools then options but there was no sync tab or manage accounts either.

The login.salesforce.com website is using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

I changed my email address and now cannot play items purchased with previous email. This only became a problem after I got a new computer. The original email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

I changed my email address a few years ago. I did not have any problems after this change until I got a new computer. Now I cannot play items that were purchased under the previous email. I entered the password that I used and it doesn't recognize it. I tried "forgot your password" in every combination possible. I never received any emails at the old email address. Now the old email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

The old email address may well still be valid as your iTunes AppleID, however if you have no other email associated with that ID you clearly won't get any automated emails to it.
I still use an old defunct email for my iTunes AppleID.

You may want to try to manage the old ID here:

Use the original email address and password.

HT1918 I changed my email address, and now none of my music shows up in my library. Where did it go?

I changed the email address on my current account, and now when I log into iTunes, none of my music is there. I didn't create a new account, just changed my email address. Where is my music and how do I get it back?

This does not make sense. Your Apple ID does not change your music on your computer/device in any way. Aside from old refresh issues for DRM items.
Are you sure you didn't create a new library by accident? Use the spotlight to see where your computer sees your song titles.

Can't erase old iCloud I changed email address and now I can't put in pw or submit login steps to reset pw

I submitted a change to change my email address for my iTunes and on my phone it still has my original email account listed that is no longer an iTunes account because it was for my iCloud and my password is not accepted nor any of my login information to reset it how do I go about removing that iCloud account

To remove the iCloud account you need to delete it.
Settings > iCloud > scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Acccount
