ITunes and App store access after changing Apple ID.

Having changed country of residence recently, I changed my Apple ID. However, the old ID continues to come up on my iPad and asks me for my password. The ID has been closed and it will not accept either my old password or my new password under the new ID. It does work on my PC under the new Apple Id, but I cannot access, download or update any apps etc on my iPad.
When attempting to access the Apps Store it constantly comes up with a log-in using my old ID and will not et me change that ID. If I try to change the password using "Forgot password", it simply will not recognise the old ID as being a valid ID. The email address for the old ID is no longer valid or in use and that is why I chnaged my Apple ID rather than setting up a new ID.
Any help greatly appreciated

Hi , 
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I am sorry to hear that you cannot connect to or download from the iTunes and App Stores. There are some very good troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation. Please follow the steps and information in the article below. 
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time. 
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
Have a great day, 
Joe

  • ITunes and App Store not connecting with Apple id after iOS 8

  • ITunes and App Store not accepting my Apple iD

    I cannot sign in with my Apple iD on either application. I get an error message on iTunes after approx 2 mins saying "We could not complete your iTunes store  request. The secure network connection was refused. There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later.".
    I get a different message on App Store simply saying "Connection failed".
    I'm running a MacBook with MacOS X version 10.6.8, with iTunes version 10.4. All my software is up to date. I've tried disabling the firewall in MacOS this makes no difference.
    The username and password are correct for my Apple iD as i'm using it to post on the community board.
    I am able to browse the stores but can't purchase anything as it requires me to sign in to purchase.
    Both applications have worked in the past with this iD, but my last purchase was back in April, I don't buy too much, now I can't purchase anything anymore as it won't sign in.
    Can anyone help me?

  • ITunes and App Store broken after recent update

    There were updates that appeared today for Epson and Lexmark printers, as well as a security fix.  I started it on one Mac in our studios and it's NOT happy on reboot.  None of our iCloud accounts can log in and we get errors trying to connect iTunes using anyone's account.  Errors are:
         iTunes can’t verify the identity of the server “init.itunes.apple.com”.
         iTunes can’t verify the identity of the server “p55-buy.itunes.apple.com”.
         iTunes can’t verify the identity of the server “xp.apple.com”.
         iTunes can’t verify the identity of the server “play.itunes.apple.com”.
         iTunes can’t verify the identity of the server “securemetrics.apple.com”.
    and they all  say:
         The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “play.itunes.apple.com”, which could put your confidential      information at risk. Would you like to connect to the server anyway?
    If the page does load, we're not getting full graphics, like the full HTML isn't loading.
    I tried it on a second Mac, confirming the login worked, then started the update.  Update HUNG with 10-seconds to go and sat there for almost 30-minutes.  We forced a shut-down/reboot and now have the same results with all iCloud accounts.
    Any ideas?

  • ITunes not sending email notifications to iTunes and App Store gifts recipients

    I sent several iTunes and App Store gifts from my Apple ID... I set the date to be sent of Dec 25. The gift recipients have not received email notifications about their gifts. I went into my iTunes account and resent the gift, but the people I sent gifts to are still not getting emails from iTunes. However I got the iTunes email informing me my credit card had been charged.

    I'm having this issue as well. I was really hoping to surprise people on Christmas Day, really disappointed right now., doesn't look like anyone has got an email about the apps I gifted them.

  • TS3988 I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud?

    I changed my Apple ID to my new email address successfully for the iTunes and App store but it won't work for iCloud and it won't recognize my password. I read that this can't be done. How am I supposed to get into iCloud? I plan on getting rid of my old email address which is my old Apple ID so how is that going to work?

    Same question Wish someone had replied!
    I changed my Apple ID to my new email and now cannot find any way to access icloud. Unfortunately I had allowed icloud to hijack my airbook files, so of course I am afraid I will lose them tomorrow when I exchange my iphone for a new one and cannot keep an icloud account i cannot access. What a poor sync system! Really atypical for apple!

  • My old Apple ID won't allow me to use the old password to log out of the cloud. I can't use the new one, either. The new Apple ID is in the iTunes and App store. But I can't change it on the cloud without logging out. Which I can't do.

    I can't use the old Apple id and Apple password on my new Iphone 6 - I can use the new ones. But I can't access the cloud in the meantime. The iTunes and App Stire has the new Apple ID, but I can't get into the settings to change it on the iCloud. It asks for the Old Apple ID and password, which doesn't work. Does anyone know how to change the old Apple ID on the iPhone in the settings for the iCloud?

    First, try the new password.  If you didn't sign out of iCloud prior to changing the primary email address of your Apple ID, this is what can cause this problem.
    Also, read this: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support

    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 another Apple ID with a new Apple ID.
