I am trying to update my apps but my Apple id is an old one that isn't active, How do I delete the old apple id and use the new id which is my current email address

I am trying to update my apps and get new apps but my apple ID listed is an old inactive email address. How do I change it to my new email address? The new email address is in settings and is on my apple account. The only place the old one shows up is in the apps store - installing and updating. What do I do?

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them whether you are using the Apple ID for new purchases or not. All future updates will require the password for this original Apple ID. This can't be changed. The only way to stop this would be to delete these apps from your phone and iTunes library and repurchase them using your current ID.

I am trying to update my apps but I am receiving an invalid address box. I put the correct information and the box still pops up. Can you tell me what is going on?

I am trying to update my apps but I am receiving an invalid address box. Can anyone tell me what is going on with this box? I put my correct info in and the box continues to pop up.

There are a number of threads about it - it looks like Apple recently updated their address validation. Some people have recorded success by :
    ensuring that their iTunes account address is exactly the same as appears on their credit card bill
    putting something in the second line of the address (including just copying the first line)
    expanding abbreviations e.g. St to Street, Ave to Avenue etc (or conversely abbreviating)
    putting apartment or suite number on the second address line

How to switch to a different app store? I am trying to update my apps but am getting a popup that says your account is not valid for use in the uS store. you must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing. How do I do this? I can't find the place

I am trying to update my apps but keep getting a popup that says "Your Account is not valid for use in the US store. you must switch to the Canadian Store before purchasing." I can not find where to do this! Please help! Thank you!

[Apologies to pdesteele for this slight OT bit, but it's all relevant to your question, I think ]
We do have a place in the UK which we could use as an address, but for various reasons it gets a bit complex even though we still have a UK bank account. We moved to France when there were no iDevices and apps around, just bought the occasional music, so it wasn't a problem. Funny thing is I can't even download the free UK bank app because it's not available in the French store .
I'll live with the problem for now as we plan to move back to the UK in a year or so - we miss the weather .

Well, I just purchased Linksys wifi and hooked it up. It's running fine. When I go to my IPhone settings to see is I'm connected to a wifi, it shows that I am not connected. When I hit my wifi to see or to connect, it takes me to the wifi networks and it's showing my secured wifi as being locked and my guess wifi as not locked. How do I sign in to my own wifi network.

Might be an address formatting issue with your iTunes account records. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646.

Again, Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased and will always have to be updated using that account.
Always, mean exactly that, always.
If you want them to be on your account then you need to buy them using your account.

I've been trying to update my apps but it keeps asking me to update my billing info. I retyped everything from my card and it keeps saying my security code is invalid. Any suggestions?

If you're positive the information is correct, ask the issuing bank why the transaction is being rejected.
You're getting this error because the store can not authorize the card with your bank.

Take the SIM out and reseat it. Was your phone jailbroken or unooficially unlocked? If so then when you upgraded the phone locked again to the original carrier. If that is the case you need a SIM from that carrier to use the phone or you could contact that carrier and have them unlock it for you

Because all apps are FOREVER tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them, & they can only be updated using that ID.
