How can I change the old email Apple ID that comes up automatically? There is no longer an account for that email.

You can't. Purchases can't be transferred to another ID. One option is to delete the apps/purchases made by the other ID and download them using the new ID if desired. If necessary, check your purchases history to see which apps/purchases weren’t made by the current ID.
