Changing email that appears under your name in settings (Apple ID, iCloud, media and purchases)

How do I change the email that appears under my name when I click on the Apple ID section of settings. I recently changed my Apple ID as I got a new email but my old email is still appearing.

Successfully Assigning your New eMail:

Log back in to your old eMail address. Then, log out of your Apple Account on it. Then, perform the change.


Note:

It's the same ordeal as to when you purchase a used device, and the seller never logged out of their own Apple ID on it, prior to selling it to you.

Assign a Method of Payment:

Do you have no Method of Payment assigned to your account? To download an app (free or paid), you need to have a Method of Payment assigned to your account. So, add a Method of Payment. Even free apps require a Method of Payment, because even free app have items that cane purchased form within them. Go Here: Add a Payment Method to your Apple ID - Apple Support
