How do i remove an email from my "emergency email" so i can use it as my main email since my current on file email is no longer available to me?

The email i have set as my apple id is no longer valid but when i try to change to my new email it says that my new email is set up as my "emergency" email... whatever that means so i cant use it.

Hi ua10d2me!
I have a couple of articles here that can help you resolve these issues. First is an article about changing your recovery email address for your Apple ID:
Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
Once you have completed that, you can follow the steps in this article to change your Apple ID email address:

Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

    How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again?

    Your apps are not stored in your icloud account.  You should be able to delete the app from the device using the wiggling icons and tap the X process and then downloading directly to device from the itunes store wirelessly.  Don't do it via iTunes on your computer where a copy of the app is stored.

  • How do I remove the padlock from my mailbox so that I can receive mail?

    We recently got a new computer and our mail server was changed from outlook express to Thunderbird. For some reason there is a padlock on our mail page, and is not allowing mail to come in from our provider oct.net. when we click the padlock it takes us to a page that allows us to click, "read messages"---but we prefer not to have to go through the extra steps. Isn't there a way to remove that padlock? It wasn't there the first few days we had Thunderbird as our mail address, but it showed up yesterday. Thank you.

  • I bought my friend's used laptop. She doesn't know how to get her itunes account off the laptop, so I'm not able to do anything. How do I remove her account from the laptop?

    I bought my friends Toshiba laptop. Her itunes account is on there, hooked up to a credit card. She doesn't remember her ID. I think I had it emailed to her by typing in her email address and first and last name. Now that she probably HAS her Apple ID and Password, how do we remove her account from the laptop so I can use MY itunes?

    Delete the ENTIRE iTunes folder from her user directory.
    Frankly, you should be restoring the laptop as new, either using the restore CD provided by Toshiba or by reinstalling Windows with a Windows CD to remove ALL of her personal information.

  • How do I remove a device from my iCloud account?

    Hi, my daughters iphone is connected to my icloud account.
    How do I remove her device from that account?
    Thanks.

    If you mean that she is sharing your iCloud account and you want to migrate her phone to a separate account, start by saving any photo stream photos she wants to keep on her phone to her camera roll (unless already there) by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  If she is syncing notes with iCloud, you will need to open each one and email them to her so she can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in her new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from her phone, not from iCloud; your device will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload her data.
    Once your devices are on different accounts you can each go to icloud.com from your computer and delete the other person's data from your account.

    How do I remove Apple Mail from my hard drive? Over 10,000 downloaded into my mail and continues to freeze up---  I just want to use my gmail account directly

    I go to Gmail to do my email yes, in my browser, but ya know how sometimes you click on a website to email someone and it pulls up apple mail, and then tons of email dump into apple mail and it frequently causes my computer to lock up and have to shut down w/escape.  I thought it would be  better to take it off if I could

  • How do i remove a place from hard drive places menu

    how do i remove a place from hard drive places menu?

    Yes, I saw that Carolyn. I should have included that in my previous post. I asked the person who did the change for me and had no new information to provide. He said he only did the normal change of information to receive and send POP mail. He did nothing else that should have affected the mailboxes. In fact, he made the same changes to his own Macbook Pro and had no loss of emails from his mailboxes.
    So, what it boils down to is a simple question that may not require a simple answer, but my guess is there is a simple procedure to restore a mailbox's data from the Users folder on the hard drive. If the info is gone from Mail, but still on the hard drive, then it would stand to reason that we could stop focusing on what caused it to happen (especially if we don't know), and just make an attempt to Restore it - if I could find someone who knows the procedure to restore a mailbox.
    It may require a trip to the Genius Bar if it so complex that no one here has experience with it. I would think that from time to time people have to restore the mail box.
    Thanks so very much Carolyn for all your interest. If you know anyone who could restore mailbox, please see if they would offer a suggestion as to the steps to do so.

  • How do you remove a template from a page?

    I want to remove a template from some of my pages and can't
    figure out how to??

    The much better thing to do is to modify the template to
    accommodate the
    different layouts - that way, everything is still under
    template control,
    and you don't have to remember to also change things in those
    pages you have
    detached.
