How do I update my Apple ID on my iPad as it has the old apple ID?

If you want to change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPad, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your 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. 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 iPad, 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.

It looks like the article below has the information you are looking for.
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings

Turn off iCloud completely
Depending on whether you want to stop using iCloud on all or only some devices, do one or more of the following:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Note: If you delete your iCloud account, iCloud will no longer back up your iOS data. You can still back up your device in iTunes (for more information, open iTunes and choose iTunes > Help).
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.
If your Mac has OS X v10.7.5 and you turn off iCloud, your calendar information and reminders aren’t stored locally in iCal. If you want to retain your calendar and reminder information, you need to back it up before turning off iCloud. For more information, see the Apple Support article iCloud: Calendar & reminder data removed from Calendar and Reminders or iCal when disabling iCloud Calendar.
On your Windows computer, open the iCloud Control Panel, then click Sign Out.
Note: If you turned on automatic download of music, app, or book purchases (in iTunes preferences or in Settings on your iOS device), your iTunes purchases are still downloaded to your devices.
Set up iCloud on your devices

I changed my Apple ID and password, but when I attempt to update Apps I am prompted to enter my Password for my OLD Apple ID, and I am unable to override the Old Apple ID. How to proceed ?

Delete everything bought with the old Apple ID and buy it again.
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

My husband changed the Apple ID on our computer. For some reason, iCloud has the old Apple ID and it won't let me change it. I've been locked out of my iPad twice and had to restore it because of iCloud. How do I change the Apple ID (not the password)?

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")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another 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.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

I changed my apple ID after getting a new -mail address. There are apps on my iPad that still have the old apple ID and I don't know how to change it in order to access the apps

Having trouble figuring this thing out, I know someone can help

Did you create a new Apple ID? Or did you update your existing one. Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID under which they were purchased. If you created a new Apple ID, you will still need to use the old one to update apps. It doesn't matter that the address is no longer one you used. The thing you want to do is change the Apple ID to the new email address.
Best of luck.

If a new apple id sign in.what will happen to the old apple id if you erase or reset the phone?

I buy a new iphone 5s and the store open it and put his apple id to download some stuff.. And after that i try to make my own apple id. What will happen if i erase all data and it is in need of apple id.. Will it be the old apple id or my apple id?? I heard that if i erase all data. The apple id of which i buy my iphone will appear and mine will not??

If the store setup the phone with an Apple ID/Password, that is not yours, & turned on Find My Phone, then you will need that Apple ID/Password to re-activate the phone. Called Activation Lock. Read here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695
So, go back to the store where you got this phone & have them fix things.

Thank you very Much. How can I change the security questions? They must be wrong becouse when I put in the correct info I get that my answers dont match.
How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com and log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.
This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work...
Go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.

How to delete the old Apple ID to prevent continuing access it when updating Apps if I have changed the Apple ID in my iPad and iPhone?

I have changed my Apple ID in my iPhone 4S and iPad, but when I update my Adds on them, they prompt me to enter the old Apple ID and password. I have already created the new Apple ID. How can I delete the old Apple ID on them?

If you created a new id instead of updating the old one then any apps etc that you bought/downloaded with the old id will still be tied to that old id, and they can't be copied or transferred to a new one - so only that old id can download updates to its apps.
If you updated the old id then try logging out of the account on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.

I had to change my apple id but the icloud account still has the old one. How can i change it.

My apple id was cancelled by apple due to a problem and they suggested me to make a new apple id with a different email adress. Thats what i did, the proble is that the i cloud has the old apple id and i was trying to change it but i cant and the iphone keeps asking me to put de password on the old apple id wich is no longer in use
The second problem is that when i was trying to change that, something happened and all my contacts were erased!
I still have them on my ipad, but i dont know what to do, is all a mess with my devices!
Can somebody help me please?

With iOS 7 you will have to provide the password for the old ID in order to delete the existing account from your iPad. If you can't do this, contact Apple for assistance by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Produces & Services>Apple ID>iTunes Store, App Store or Mac App Store>Disabled Apple ID.
As far as your missing contacts, when you get the password for the old ID reset, sign in with the ID and your new password at icloud.com and check to see if your contacts are there. If they are, export them as a vCard as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606. You can then import this vCard to your new account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3605.

Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.
you can also access your ID in the featured tab of the App Store. Swipe to the bottom of the screen and you will find it there as well.

Only the Apple ID used to buy an app can update an app. Apple does not merge Apple IDs and Apple does not transfer content biught with one ID to another ID.
