Hi There,

This is happening because the applications that you downloaded are all considered "purchases" even though they are free. So when you first downloaded the application, in this example lets use Facebook, that application was "purchased" using your old Apple ID.

In order to resolve this all you have to do is uninstall the application and reinstall the application while youre signed into your new Apple ID that you want to use. Once you do that, the application will then be linked to your new Apple ID instead of your old Apple ID and will no longer ask you for the old password/email.

Thanks!
