How can I change my apple ID email address when I can't access old email (It's an old work address I can't access anymore)

How can I change my apple ID email address when I can't access old email (It's an old work address I can't access anymore)? Whenever I try it always wants to send things to my email address to confirm. I have a new apple ID and a new email address, I want to use this now for my iphone and my macbook air but I can't and I'v

Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

    You can't simply change the details.
    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)

  • HT5622 I changed my apple id successfully however when I open icloud the old id flashes up with password request,i can cancel this window but its very annoying,any help appreciated

    I recently changed my apple id successfully however when I open icloud a window flashes up with my old id and request for password.This window can be closed but it is so annoying to cancel this everytime.I was told to delete all my apps and reinstall them which I have done.This problem seems to be specific to icloud so will I need to delete and install icloud and if I do will I loe all my contacts pictures etc

    In what way did you change your apple ID?  Did you make a new one?  Changed the password of an existing one or maybe added a new email alias?
    If you go to Settings>icloud, what ID is being displayed?  The old one?  If you scroll to the bottom of the screen and tap Delete Account, then the device will be disconnected from the current account.  You can then log in using another ID.  Doing so, however, will disconnect you from all the current Apple data, like email and contacts.  Pictures will not be affected.

  • Can't change my apple id on iPhone because i don't have the password to my old apple id - any suggestions

    I can't change my Apple ID on my iPhone because I don't have the password for my old Apple ID which the system requires.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Perhaps if you visited the "Manage My Apple ID" site you could recover the password to the old Apple ID.

  • How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible.

    How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible. I can log in on my computer with updated id, however I can't find where to change old email. The settings displays new id. When I try to update or buy an app on my phone it automatically puts in the dead email address and asks for the password.
    Please help! Thanks.

    Sync with iTunes so you have a backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. Restore the unit as New. Reconfigure for your new ID and password. Restore your apps, etc. from backup.

    If you are going to change your AppleID login you will need to log out and back in on all your devices. Turn off 'Find My iPhone/iMac/iPod' first or you will find yourself unable to sign out and be stuck.

  • How can I change my apple ID email address?

    How can I change my apple ID email address?

    I just did follow Varjak's instruction, but it refused. I was asked to enter my Apple ID's email address which unfortunately is the same as my Apple ID. I created two different passwords for each Apple ID n primary email address when I set up my I tune account in the first place, however.
    I do remember my Apple ID password because I have used it every time I installed new apps, but I completely forgot my password for the primary email address because I've never used it at all! I have another email address which I actively use it for all my email. I want to change my primary email address which happened to be my Apple ID as well to the one I actively use.
    Because of the explained problem, I can't log in to Icloud as I have been asked to verify by following the instruction sent to my primary email address.
    I would really appreciate it if any one can help me solve this problem.
    Thank you all.

  • How can you change your Apple ID to a new email address?

    My old email was deleted and I used this as my Apple ID. I now have a new one and can't change my Apple ID on my phone and iPad, (Under 'icloud' in settings). However I have been able to change it in iTunes & App Store.
    I also tried deleting the account and re doing it in my new one but it asks for the password due to find iPhone being on, and it won't do it. (I remember my old password)
    Please help!
    It's very frustrating and keeps wanting me to sign in.
    Thanks

    1) Did you change that old email address to your current email address to be your current Apple ID?  If so, try to enter your current password for your current Apple ID/iCloud account.  If it doesn't work, try #2.
    2) If you don't have access to your old email account.  Same process, go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign in your current iCloud/Apple ID then edit it to your old email address then Save the changes.  DON'T sign out yet.  Go back to your iOS device then delete your iCloud account.  Once deleted, go back to the Apple ID website and rename it back to your current email address.  You have to verify it this time and you will be able to since you have access to that email address.
    3) If your answer to #1 is NO, contact Apple Support (Account Security Team) to help you reset its password but you need to have another email address available which is not yet an Apple ID to send the password reset email.
    Hope this helps!  Cheers!
