Can't change Apple ID Email address

I have Apple ID associated with old hotmail.com email account and now i want to change it to my actual email account on yahoo.com.
When Face time was released by apple i used my Apple ID to login and added my yahoo email account like another email.
now when i try to change my Apple ID email from web sit i receive error "This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID." but when i use App Store to manage my account and change my email from there it accepts but on yahoo i receive email only information that my account info have changed and when i try to login it says that my email is not verified and asks me to verify, also on web site on my account management my primary email have status "unverified" and option to resend verification email which i click and i don't receive nothing on my yahoo account.
Do you people have any idea how i can change my Apple ID to my new yahoo account and if this issue is connected with apple or yahoo?
Thank you!

I've had this problem for a few years and last night with the help of apple support, cracked it.
Here's what to do.
Create a new email that isn't associated with apple. And make it you Apple ID using the following steps.
1) Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. You can download iTunes, free-of-charge, from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
Note: Installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.
2) Open iTunes, then from the Store pull-down menu at the top, choose Sign In.
3) Enter your iTunes Store account name and password and then click Sign In.
4) From the pull-down Store menu at the top, choose View My Account, or click the link below:
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/accountSummary
5) If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account name and password, then click the View Account button.
6) Click the Edit button on the Apple Account Information screen.
7) Enter a new Apple ID (must be an email address) and/or a new password. Please make sure the email address you enter is one that you actively check. It is not possible to make the iTunes Store send email to an address different than the one being used for your Apple ID.
8) Click Done to save your changes.
Once this email has been verified. Use "manage accounts" https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ to change your Apple IDs to the desired email address.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • TS2972 How can I change my HomeSharing email address info on my Apple TV?

    How can I change my HomeSharing email address info on my Apple TV? I updated to a new email address through iTunes but now Apple TV won't recognize it and won't connect. Please help! Thanks.

    This is the first time I have ever replied to a question on here but I actually know this because I just figured it out for myself.
    On the apple tv go to settings>computers
    Then turn off home sharing.
    Now go back to the main menu and open computers.
    When you do it will give the option to use the previous home sharing settings or to use a new apple id.

  • How can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??, how can i change my icloud email address? i mis typed my name and wanted to change my icloud email address??

    hello guys ...i need any help or suggestions, how can i change my icloud email address?? i typed a w rong name by mistake?? can i change it and retype the correct one? thanks ...your suggestio is higly appreciated.

    That's definitely not supposed to happen.  You shouldn't have someone else's iCloud email linked to your ID.
    You'll have to get iCloud support to sort this one out.  The only way to contact them is to start here: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/.  You'll have to provide your iPhone serial number.  Unless it's within the 90 day free support window, or you purchased AppleCare, there will be a charge.  I suppose you can plead your case when they answer that you shouldn't be charged as you didn't set up this address and it shouldn't have happened with your ID.

    i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
    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.

  • Can I change my iCloud email address? I do not see a way to edit it.

    Can I change my iCloud email address? I do not see a way to edit it.

    Jeffrey is correct: but you do have the option to add up to three 'email aliases' which are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main address. Indeed it's a good idea to give out an alias address rather than the master address, in case of spam or other problems: you easily delete an alias without impinging on the behaviour of the rest of the account.
    There seem to be problems at the moment about creating aliases, so if you find you can't, give it a couple of days and try again.

    You should be aware that, once created, aliases can't be moved to another account, nor turned into full accounts, nor reactivated once deleted.

    @icloud.com addresses are being rolled out over an unspecified period: you will get one without having to do anything, and it will be additional to your @me.com address. You will get a notification email when your account is updated. Please see this page:

    how can i change my old email address to my new email address need help please everything i try want work

    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with the new ID.  However, app updates for your apps purchased with your older ID will always ask for the password for this ID.  (Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.)

  • Can I change my icloud email address in iOS 8?

    Can I change my iCloud email address in iOS 8.1?

    Hello there Chesterg1,
    It sounds like you want to sign in with a different iCloud email address on your device running iOS 8. You can do that in Settings:
    iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
    On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Sign Out (Delete Account in iOS 7 and earlier).
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
