I am trying to change my Apple ID but my old ID is still showing

I am trying to change my Apple ID. I've gone to edit and put in my apple email and clicked SAVE and it hasn't updated. There is also a box which says "Make your Apple ID and primary email address one and the same" and this didn't work either.
I would be grateful for any help with this. Thank you.

Thanks but already done that.
It takes you into your ID and then I can select Password and Security. My understanding is there is suppose to be a Edit/Delete option here so you can remove/edit the recovery email address. I do not have the option.
Late yesterday I checked to see if my email account in the recovery still exists. It did and I managed to log in but no emails from the recovery tool.
I cannot see any further help on line except top schedule a call with Apple Support. I was hoping not to do this as to me this appears a config issue.
I can access my Apple ID no problem change password add email accounts add new machines everything else fine.

I changed my apple ID but the old one is still showing up on my phone! How do I update it so I can make changes to the iCloud settings on my phone?

I changed my Apple ID recently and everything works fine when I sign into iTunes or iCloud from my PC. However, when I go to iCloud settings on my iPhone 5, the account is still showing up under the old Apple ID. That means that I cannot turn off the Find my Phone feature in order to trade my phone in. How do I go about updating my iCloud account on my phone to show my new Apple ID?

Thanks, David. But that was the first thing I tried. For some reason, when I try to change my Apple ID back to my old email address, I get the message that that Apple ID is already in use and so I cannot use it! I have tried requesting a password reset using my old Apple ID email, but I've waited and waited and nothing has come to my old email address. This is sooooooo frustrating!

I recently changed my apple ID but the old on is still on my iCloud account. The old address is dimmed on iCloud on my iPad so I can't change it. How do I change to the new address? I don't want to delete the account as I don't want to lose the pictures

To change it, you have delete the existing account. However you can avoid losing any pictures in the process. To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. (Camera roll photos are not effected by deleting the account.)
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.

HT201320 when I go to do updates the window pops up apple id password I no longer have this email Ive tried to add a new email but the old one is still showing up. I don't know where or what to do now, can you help?

needing help to change apple id email address. I went in settings and changed the email but the new one isn't showing up Ive called different support numbers and I changed email but it still shows up.

If you are talking about app updates, these are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase the app, regardless of the ID on your phone in Settings>Store. The only way to stop the prompt for your older ID would be to delete these apps from your phone. The ID in Settings>Store is the one being used for current purchases, not updates of apps purchased using a different ID.

HT1689 I have 0.44$ in my account, and I was trying to change the apple store, but I have to use the credit... However, all applications seem to be 0.99$ (the least) how can I get rid of this 0.44$ so I can change the store?

I changed my apple id but my old one keeps coming up when I try to download a new app

I changed my apple id but my old one keeps showing up. I can't download any new apps.

Try going to Settings>iTunes & App Stores, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

My email acct is no longer valid, trying to change email/apple id, but I'm unable to. Manage id/email will not accept my new gmail acct.

My email acct that is also my apple ID is no longer a valid acct. I have tried to change my email in the "Manage email/apple ID" but it will not accept my current gmail.com address. Any suggestions? I hope if someone has any suggestions that I'll be able to access them, since the email with Apple is no longer valid. As an example, I no longer receive email receipts from iTunes because the email associated with my ID is no longer working. Please help with this dilemma.

What Mac or mobile device are you using, with what operating system?

I changed my apple ID but the old ID keeps appearing when trying to log in

I changed my apple id and password, but the old id keeps appearing when trying to log in

Did you create a whole new Apple ID or change the email on the Apple ID you had previously? There is a BIG difference. Ocean20 explain quite clearly the problem you are likely having.
Let me explain it this way. If Apps were money, it would be like opening a bank account (your Apple ID), putting a bunch of money (apps) in that account, then opening a new bank account (Apple ID) and wondering where all your money (apps) went.

I changed my apple id and it works for the store but my old id is still showing on my cloud acount how do i change this

Sign out of the iCloud services that still show your previous Apple ID, and sign in using the revised one.

You can try contacting Apple here.

You do know tht if you created a new Apple ID - that is different than changing the Apple ID. Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to make the purchase. If the old ID is popping up, it seems like that ID is rid to the apps indicating that you created a new ID. Of course, I could be wrong or misunderstanding what you're saying as well.
If you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap your old ID and sign out and then sign in with the new ID, that should be all that you need to do, if you changed the ID. If you created a new ID, that will not work.

I am trying to change the Apple ID on my old iPhone 5c but it wants a password for an old Apple ID with and email that doesn't exist anymore

MMy old iPhone 5c is wanting a password for logging into my apple account. The problem is that the email address its tied to doesn't exist anymore. I changed the email to a different one. But can't figure out how to change the email address on the phone to the new email address.

The fact that the email address doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. As far as the Apple ID is concerned, the email address is just a user name. As long as you know the password you used, it should be fine.
If you don't remember the password, start here:

I am trying to change my Apple ID.

I'm trying to change my apple ID and it says it has been verified, but it still will not change on my phone, so I cannot access my iCloud or iMessage, what am I supposed to do to fix this problem?

I have been trying to change my Apple ID for my iPhone account because the e-mail on there is an old e-mail that I cannot use anymore. I have went on the website and went through all of the steps of changing it, and I've changed everything to my updated e-mail and verified it as well. On my phone, it still has my old e-mail address, and keeps popping up any time I try to access iCloud, iMessage, etc. that my password or e-mail is invalid. I'm not sure why it's not changing on my phone or what other steps I'm supposed to take in changing it.

If they are no longer in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, the tap Save to Camera Roll).
