HT1918 change rescue email address

I can see how I change my primary email address in my apple account - but how do I change 'rescue' email address ?????????

You can do it through My Apple ID: http://appleid.apple.com
Click "manage account" on the right. Sign in. Click "password and security."
You can change your rescue email address after you answer your security questions.

    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here's how to change your rescue email address:
    Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
    Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
    Click "Manage your account"
    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    Click Password & Security
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

  • HT5621 Change rescue email address

    How do I change my rescue email address on an Iphone 4?

    You do this at http://appleid.apple.com - click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Click 'Password and Security' in the left sidebar. You will need to answer two security questions you've previously set to get in, and then you can edit your rescue address. Click 'Save' at bottom right when done.

  • HT1918 Change of Email address

    All I want to do is to correct my Email address. This has been changed by a new Internet Service Provider.
    I AM NOT trying to set up an iTunes account, which I do not want.
    I hope someone can help, otherwise I will simply forget the whole thing.
    At 88 years of age I haven't the time to mess around!!

    Hello,
    I've just come back to your reply because I've just discovered why I do not get notifications: Apple still has my old defunct email address !
    I've tried to change it, but tells me that the old address cannot be changed !!
    So I tried to set it up as an alternative address.
    Then it told me that it is verified for another Apple ID !! That is not possible - unless somehow it happened when I tried to set up an iTunes account, but gave up when it got too complicated.
    But more to the point, I DO NOT want an iTunes account !!  So where do I go from apart from leaving the Apple communities for good
    Quo Vadis

  • HT5312 change rescue email address

    How do i change my rescue email addres?
    I dont remember the password of that email.

    If you're able to correctly answer two of the questions, use the instructions in the article you asked this question from. If not, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • I am giving up my primary email address. i want to use what is now my rescue email address as primary. what steps do i take?

    i am giving up my primary email address. i want to use what is now my rescue email address as primary. what steps do i take?

    You will need to remove the address as your rescue email address first, which you can do by logging into your account via http://appleid.apple.com, selecting the Password & Security section and answering the security questions.
    Changing rescue email address : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
    You can then try putting it as your primary email address, which you can do either via that site, by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into, or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes. If you don't do it directly on your phone you might then need to log out of your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version.

  • HT1918 I would like to change my email address around as I use my rescue email more then my I'd one.  How can I do this

    I would like to change my email address around

    You can change/remove your rescue email address by (from here) :
        1.    Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
        2.    Click "Manage your account"
        3.    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
        4.    Click Password & Security
        5.    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
        6.    After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
        7.    Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
    You should then be able to change your main email address to be that old rescue email address, and then old your current main address as your rescue email address (I'm not sure whether you will need to log and out and back in between each change)

  • HT1918 I'm not able to use my rescue email address as my primary address.  How can I change this?

    I am needing to change my apple ID. I would like to use my rescue email address as my primary apple id.  I have deleted the rescue email and have since tried to change my rescue email address to my primary apple Id, but it is still recognizing the email address as my rescue email, even after I have delted it.  Is there any way I can make this work?

    The problem is she entered an email address she thought might be mine ,but actually used by someone else .She said no password was set up .My understanding is an email must have been sent to that address and he or she can set up the password and download .And now I set up an new ID under the ICloud but still the wrong email address still appear as a default one .I tried to delete the set up but I was asked for the password which we don't have .
    Any good idea ?

  • How can I change my primary email address to the one that I use for my rescue email address?

    I no longer use the email address associated with my apple ID account and the rescue email address I used is now my primary email address for everything, since it its not allowing me to just simply change my email address since its my rescue email address i want it changing to, can it be done and how?! :S Thank you!

    You will need to remove it as your rescue email : log into your account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, select the 'Password And Security' section on your account's screen, and answer the two security questions that show - you should then be taken to another screen where you can change or remove your rescue email address.
    Then try logging out of your account and then log back in and see if you can then use it as your primary email address.
