Change the email address for my apple id

I changed the email address for my apple id online using "Manage Your Account." I changed it as well on my iPhone. How do I change the apple id on my mac? I've gone into system preferences - I cloud but can't see how to change my apple id.

You will have to sign out of iCloud, then sign in with the new Apple ID. Same with iTunes and the App Store.

I changed the email address for my Apple ID, now I can't sign back into anything.

I am in the process of changing email addresses and today I changed the email address on my Apple ID account but some of my decices won't recognize the new information. Specifically my ICloud account is still trying to use my old Apple ID and the password for that doesn't work anymore. Any thoughts?
Thanks

Hi Timothy Kolk,
Did you create a new Apple ID or rename the old one?
Either way, since the Apple ID can be used in many places, check out this article for help changing it in all the right places.

I changed the email address for my apple id and now I cannot sync the contacts and calendar with my iphone

It is crazy but in the apple store they set up the icloud for me and then I started sync the iphone against the icloud and i had some photos in streaming because they recommended to do like that. After that, the space got not enough and they asked for more more to increase the space, so I decided to come back to the previous method and sync my iphone with itunes via usb. Well, the email address that i had for my apple id became unavailable so i had to create a new account this time with gmail and since then, i cannot sync my iphone. I have done it today and i have lost my contacts and the calendar is no ,onger sync. I am using outlook to manage my mail and when I look for the i cloud it asks me for the old email address which no longer exists and does not match with the current one.
Can anyone help me?

Nevermind, I figured it out!

IMessage will not activate as I changed the email address for my Apple ID

When I first activated iMessage I was using an old hotmail address as my apple ID but I have since changed this to my uni email address which is my regular account. When my friends received a message they said it was from the old hotmail address so I deactivated iMessage with a view to reactivating it and resolving this issue. However when I try to reactivate it comes up with the old email address and asks for the password for it so I can't reactivate it.
Any Ideas?

When you are in Settings>Messages, you'll see a field that says "Receive At", click that and it should take you to another page with your apple ID at the top. Click on your apple ID and sign out. Then you can sign in with the correct apple ID.

How can i change the email address for apple id and icloud?, how can i change the email address for apple id and icloud?

i had to change the email address to my apple id. now when ever i try to use imessage or the icloud, it wont let me because it is using the old email address. i cant change it on my phone and idk what to do on my computer!

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc.

Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup iCloud with your new ID.
You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it.

I changed my email address for my Apple ID. When I want to use iCloud my iPhone doesn't seem to recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email. I can't update the new address it keeps defaulting to my old one.

Hello TirEoghain,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First I would like you to try the instructions below to sign out of your iCloud account, and then sign in with your new Apple ID.
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud

I want to change the email address for iTunes Store

I want to change my email address for the iTunes Store

You can update the primary email address on your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and tapping 'view apple id' on the popup and logging into it, or by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
If you do change it you may then need to log out on your other devices (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store) and computers (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then log back in with the updated version

I want to change the email address for both the app store

I want to change the email address of both the app store & iTunes I created an iTunes account then bought a family pack @me.com so everything is not straight forward I have a gmail log in for both iTunes & the AppStore & then more than one Apple ID I have just increased my cloud storage but I am tired of having to use a gmail address for the App Store & iTunes especially since gmail would appear to be less secure that @icloud.com so how do I change this ?

Not a good idea. Apple content is forever associated with the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. The only Apple ID that can (re)download, update and authorize content for use on Macs, PCs and iOS devices is the Apple ID that bought it.
You can however change the email address associated with an Apple ID;

How do you change the email address for sysman in DBConsole?

Hi,
EM Alerts were originally setup to send to my email address. A new dba started and changed everything you can within dbconsole to have the alerts come to him. He is not getting any alerts, I am still getting them.
The alerts are coming from sysman. There doesn't seem to be away to see what email address is set for sysman and change the email address. 11GR1
sysman is grey'd out
This is the body of the email from EM Alert:
And what does this message mean?
Metric=Count of targets not uploading data
Metric Value=3

Severity=Critical
Message=Count of targets not uploading exceeded the critical threshold (0). Current value: 3
Notification Rule Name=Agent Upload Problems
Notification Rule Owner=SYSMAN
Notification Count=1

This is not where the email address was set that is sending me messages:You can add/change email address as

This is where my email address was hiding:
Edit Schedule Definitions: E-mail Addresses - did this for sysman Was not sufficient to change it for system or sys. Changed it, maybe the messages will stop coming to me now.
There were two email addresses set here. They were only going to the first one listed. Mine. I removed it,maybe the notifications will stop coming to me and I can stop monitoring for free for the guy that is getting paid to watch the system.
