ABout 2 months ago I changed the e-mail associated with my iTunes account because I no longer used that e-mail address. Since then, both Itunes and the iPhone app store bring up my old username by default. I wiped and re-imaged my PC a couple weeks ago due to an unrelated issue, but iTunes and the iPhone seem hell bent on making me use the old account.

I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of the old address, but nothing seems to work. I sign out of iTunes, enter the new account and login and then resync and it still has the old address. It won't even let me login using the old account.

Any suggestions?

Sounds to me like something is "stuck" on the Apple servers, and you'll need to contact their Customer Service and have them straighten it out.

Log into the iTunes store on your computer with the new account username. Afterwards, sync your iPhone. This should put the new account as the default for the App Store and iTunes store on the iPhone. Good Luck.

I pretty much took it for granted that "everything [he] can think of" would include those steps, but if not, then yes, certainly.

WOW. Sorry. Somehow I only seemed to read half of his message. And it seems he tried the way I suggested. My apologies. Well, at least that worked for me. Sorry man. Good Luck.
