How do I change the email address for my I mac/web to the same email I use for all other apple producte I have that use ICloud?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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)

    How can I change the email associated with my forum account?  I didn't provide my work email to you, but you put it in my account.  My forum postings have nothing to do with my personal PC at home.  There isn't an option to update it.

    Hi:
    Log in and click on your user name, then look at the upper the right side of the page.
    Click on the triangle to the left of the "More Resources" section.
    This will drop down, and give you options.
    Select User Settings.
    This will now open a page, and in the light blue type on top, follow it along to Contact Information, click on that, and change your e-mail address to what you want, and hit the blue submit button on the bottom right side of the page.

  • How do I change the email associated with my revel library?

    I changed the email address associated with my Adobe account.
    when I open Revel with my new address, it does not show any images.
    if i open Revel with my old address, it shows all of my images.

    It sounds like maybe you opened a new revel account. I will send you an email to help you out.

  • How do I change the email associated with my Firefox account on my computer?

    In the right hand corner where my drop down box is - it is showing an old email address I am getting ready to cancel. I have a new email address that I would like to enter but I cannot seem to find the right place to enter. I found the place to change the password but my only option is to change the password or to delete account. Is there somewhere else I can change the email address?
    Thank you!

    Although you can't change your email address, you can follow this procedure:
    # Disconnect all your devices from Sync.
    # Create a new Firefox Sync account.
    # Sync all your devices to your new Firefox account.
    If everything synced properly, you might want to delete your old Firefox Sync account.
    I suppose there is no "change e-mail address" option because it's so easy to create Firefox Sync accounts, but such a feature would be an excellent idea.
    I hope that helped!
    Happy browsing!

  • How do i change the name associated with my icloud

    how do i change the name associated with my icloud

    If you are trying to change the iCloud ID to another ID, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.
    If you are trying to change the name of your existing iCloud ID and not trying to change to a different ID, you can change the name of the ID as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621.  After doing so, you'll need to sign out of the exising ID, then sign back in using the changed ID.

  • How can I change the age associated with my daughter's account?

    OK I am sure that this is a common issue.  Back when my daughter was about 9 or 10 years old, we bought her an iPod Touch.   She was too young to have an AppleID of her own, so I set one up for her using an extra gmail accoun that I had, and entered my birthdate/age.  A few years later, she received an iPad, and most recently, an iPhone.   All of these devices are tied to the same AppleID.
    Well, now she will be 13 years old soon, and I would like to switch things to represent reality.  She has her own email account, and I believe you can go to My Apple Id to change the Apple ID name and e-mail address.  My question is, can we change the age associated with the account?
    I hear you saying, "Just create a new AppleID for her."  That may end up being the only solution, but I am trying to avoid having two AppleIDs for her to keep up with.  She has already purchased a fair amount of content (music and apps) under the existing AppleID, and I am pretty sure from looking at the posts on this Community that you can not transfer content away from the AppleID under which it was downloaded/purchased.  And so, if I create a new AppleID, she will have to re-purchase the content to get it all in one place.  As she eventually grows up and becomes independent, I would like for he to not have to "start over" with her AppleID.
    Any advice or direction to information would be appreciated.

    I have a similar situation however a bit more complicated! It seems that when I was setting the birthdate I forgot to change the year so now my seven years old daughter shows up as a two months old! There is no way to change the birthdate because it shows up in light grey when I login into my daughters account and doesn't allow a change! The birthdate can be changed only when the child turns 13 however according to this she will have to be 20 before she can change it to show property 13 and here is where this is getting completely out of hand! Now to make things more complicated I have twin daughters and they came up with their unique but similar Apple ID, so changing one will require to change both Apple IDs! After being on the phone with Apple's customer support for about one hour I talked to a supervisor and the supervisor of the supervisor and their only solution is to create a new Apple ID! Of course in my case I will have to create two new Apple IDs, and I'm considering doing it. However when I started reading it becomes more complicated because I already made their Apple IDs part of my family group. It seems like you're not able to just let go of family member that is less than 13 years of age. You can only transfer it to another family, so Apple is making sure there are no kids left behind It seems like the only option will be to "abandon" the family and then create a new family with the new Apple IDs. If all this sounds bizarre to you it sounds bizarre to me too! If I can just put the kids in the car and drive them to the nearest one hour away Apple Store and have them show their credentials confirming their birthdate I would rather do that than having to spend more and more time with this issue, but that was not an option pointed out by customer support. So folks keep in mind that if you make a mistake your children's age is set in stone until he or she turns 20 if they happen to be seven at the time you made the mistake and no one can change this, even Apple! Now on the positive side I'm glad I didn't do the mistake when she was 13 or she will have to wait until she's 26 Most likely I'll be calling customer support tomorrow again and I will let you know how it went!

  • I want to cancel one iTunes store account, and then change the email associated with my other account to the deleted email. Will it work?

    Hi,
    I have two itunes accounts. One account has all my store purchases and is associated with my school email address, which I will eventually lose. The OTHER account has NO purchases on it, and is associated with my gmail account.
    What I want is for my itunes account with all my purchases, to be associated my permanent gmail email account. However, if I try to change it, Apple of course tells me that the particular email address is already associated with another account. And, as others have said on the forums, you can't merge two accounts.
    So, would it be possible to delete the gmail account entirely? And then, after that is done, change the email on my other account to my gmail address? If so, how do I do that?
    Thanks!

  • How do I change the email associated w/my account?

    I'm trying to change the email address associated with my account as I'm deactivating the one currently in use. I've followed all the links I can find that are profile related but can't find a place to change my email address. Where is this hiding?
    Thank you!

    Unfortunately, I know you can't merge Apple IDs. I'm not going to replace my current domain email, I'm only going to use my iCloud email. Since I already have an iCloud Apple ID (a second Apple ID), I don't have anything else to use to change my Apple ID email address.
    Thanks for your help; I think I'm stuck w/losing all info associated w/my current email address/Apple ID>

  • How do I change the  vCard associated with an account

    I created a user account, and then imported my contacts from MobileMe. After doing this, the vCard associated with the account is incorrect. (It is taking the vCard for my cousin.) Is there a way to change this association?

    In Address Book select the entry for yourself then select Make this My Card from the Card menu.

  • Will we EVER be able to change the email associated with our account?

    I am talking the one our account name is seemingly hard-linked to, not the watch email.
    I noticed this problem changing the email while at OpenWorld this week; I went to Oracle Mix, tried to change my email in the profile to receive the invitation to MIX. It was being sent to an email since closed, and it would not change. So I was high and dry all week.
    One would think that "The Information Company" would be a little more flexible, and would have fixed this during the upgrade.
    Thanks,

    you can only change your notification email address. But not the registered email address which seems to have become the internal key to identify a user (and that is why we can change our "handles" because the 'handles' are not the keys !).

  • How do I change the name associated with my @icloud email

    Whenever I send an email the message sends with my wife's name....how can I change this? The account is in my name and Icloud displays my name.

    Go to
    Settings---> Mail, Contacts, Calendars---> scroll down to Contacts to make sure that "My Info" is really your's and not your wife's.
    If that doesn't work, go onto a computer and...
    icloud.com (sign in)---> Mail---> Little gear in lower left corner of the screen---> Preferences---> Accounts---> Full Name

  • How can I change the name associated with an email address?

    I assumed an existing account but would like to change the tag name associated with it. Right now it is still showing up as a colleague's name.

    Hi Rossion,
    Firefox is a web browser. It displays the content of existing sites. Things like email or page contents come from the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll probably have better luck consulting their help documentation. There should be a settings menu that allows you to change your personal account information.
    Hopefully this helps!
