Trying to update iPad to ios6 but iPad reverting to old email account how do I update this

Trying to update to iOS 6 but iPad is still looking for old email and associated password. How do I update this?

Try to reset your device. This won't delete your data stored on the phone.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
Press and hold on the Home button
Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.
Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

TS1702 Changed my email (also Apple ID) and have a new iPad, now I can't update or use any of the apps that I purchased on my old iPad because it wants to use my old email (ID) how do I fix this. I have spent a lot of money of these apps!

I changed my email address, which in turn, changed my Apple ID. I changed the settings of my iPad and things were fine for me, but my husband shares a few apps with me and isn't able to update or use any of those apps now. The change doesn't work for him.
Now, I got a new iPad mini and I'm having the same problem. I have purchased many apps which I can't use now. I have a lot of work documents saved to them too.
Is there anyway that both husband and I can change the setting so we can access the apps we have already purchased?

You have to be signed into the correct Apple ID in order to download those purchases again for free.
Settings>iTunes & App Store. Tap the old ID and sign out, then sign in with the new/changed ID.

Hello dannyboybell,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that there is a discrepancy in what you see for photo storage on your iPad. One step I would recommend in this situation would be to place your iPad into recovery mode and select Update when given the choice. This will not erase any of your content. The attached article doesn’t match your issue, but the troubleshooting steps I would suggest are similar.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Have a great day,
Joe

I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

If your phone is signed into your old iCloud ID ("email"), you need to delete the existing account then sign back in with your new ID. To do this go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, 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 iPhone on your device, 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've tried to sign into the eprint center and it says invalid email. How do I correct this

I have an HP OfficeJet 6700. I can't sign into eprint center because it says invalid email.
I know the email address for the printer but I want to change it. Can you walk me thru this?

If you are trying to create an account and it is saying invalid email or email already in use, it means that you have a snapfish account. In that situation, you will want to go to http://www.snapfish.com/ and click the login button in the top right hand corner of the page. When it prompts you to enter your email address and password, click the "Forgot your password?" link and enter your email address. They will send you a email with a temporary password and a link to change the password. After you change the password, go back to http://www.eprintcenter.com/ and log in with your email address and the password you just created.

Have you tried a soft-reset : Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should reappear and it will hopefully reboot.
If that doesn't work : If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

Why not just create an Apple ID for her and then you wont have any problems. Login on iMessage and Facetime using her ID and do the rest with your ID. It will work i tried it on my iPad

My iPod touch is not connecting to iCloud account, under iCloud settings has old email account and username that I have since updated and are working correctly on my iPad, any idea how I can reset this?

My iPod touch is not connecting to my iCloud account, under iCloud settings it has my old email account and username that I have since updated and are working correctly on my iPad, any idea how I can reset this on the iPod or otherwise? This old account info keeps coming back on my iPod and messing up access to my apple account and now the icloud. last time a system restore needed to be done to fix it....

It won't give me the option to sign out of the old account, it's that light grey color that you can't click on. And since it has the old email address that it's telling me to go into to verify the account, I can't actually change it... I'm stuck
