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.

Verifying email address on iMessage. I can't access the link that Was sent to verify my email address

I am setting up a new email address to receive messages on iMessage. I was sent a message to click on a link to verify my identity. The link does not work. I have tried to have a new link sent to me but the new link does not work either.
What do I do?

Strange, try to confirm the link on an other device or computer.

How to change my name that displays at beginning of an email? Do I need to change my email account name?

My wife and I use the same email. I need to change the name that displays at the beginning of an email to a joint name rather than just my name. We use AOL for our email. Do I need to change the name on the AOL email account to effect this change? or is there a way to effect this change in Firefox? Thanks for help.

The change must be made in the AOL settings. See the following page for directions.

When i try to put new my music it deletes the ones that were already on

when i try to put new my music it deletes the ones that were already on my ipod. How do i stop this?

You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
What if the iPod were lost/stolen/needed repair? Again, the music would lost. I strongly recommend a back up, and if computer hard drive space is in short supply, you should seriously consider an external hard drive. They are not expensive, and the cost is well worth it when compared to the loss of all your precious music.
At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this.
Backing up your media in iTunes.
Please excuse the sermon, but we see far too many people lose their music because of no back up.

Has anyone changed their email address?

If you go to the update page for your Adobe ID it tells you that changing your email address will change your Adobe ID. This presumably means you would lose access to any books already bought? In the UK most people get their email address from their ISP, so everytime you change ISP - or every time your ISP gets taken over - your email address changes. I think Adobe have opened a can of worms with this one. They are going to have a lot of angry customers if you lose all of your books every time you change email address. Has anyone got any experience of this?
Chris.

Just checked my support case and find they have closed the case (without asking whether I was satisfied with the answer)!
The gist was...
Chris, We appreciate your feedback, we would forward your suggestions to
our research team.
As Adobe Digital Editions, reactivated with the new email address and
working fine.As Ebooks downloaded from your local library could now not
be read in DE or in Sony Reader library.
I would request you to please get in touch with Sony, Who would assist
you deauthorizing your Sony E Reader.
I hope this information is helpful, Please feel free to revert to us for
further assistance.
...I guess the good news is that they say they will forward my suggestions...let's hope they do it before one of the big ISPs changes all their clients email addresses.
The bad news is that they didn't actually read my reply - I didn't say the Sony reader wasn't working - and by "DE" I meant their own product (Digital Editions)!!! Also the help on Sony re Adobe ID is "contact Adobe" - too much passing the buck going on here.
I thought Adobe was a US company - but judging by the quality of the English their product support appears to be translated from Japanese or Indian!
Anyway, I now have an email address that I shouldn't need to change (assuming it doesn't get swamped by spam) so I think I am OK for the moment, but I hope other people don't get bitten by this one. (My advice is to keep track of where you buy all your ebooks, and check intermittently that you can download them again - as you may have to do it earnest if you ever have to change your email address).
Chris.

I have three iPads and one iPod and one iPhone. How can I message between them without sending the message to all of them. You send the message to your email address but all of them are set up und one account.

You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
It doesn't sound like you "changed" your Apple ID, sounds like you created a new one. Bad idea. All content bought with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. The ID that bought the content is the only ID that can update the content. Apple does not merge IDs not does Apple transfer content from one ID to another.

IPhone 4S has started randomly asking for passwords; saying they're wrong

Hi Folks,
I don't normally post to these forums because I tend to solve my own issues, but I'm having a problem with my iPhone 4S which has stumped (and angered) me.
The device is running version 6.0.1 and isn't jailbroken or interfered with in any way.
A couple of days ago it started asking me to input the password for both my me.com and gmail.com accounts and when I did as prompted the device tells me that they're wrong - but they aren't! The issue means that I can't access either of my email accounts from my device and I can't download apps that I've previously bought and paid for.
I have tried:
Restoring the device
Deleting both accounts from the device and starting again
Using the Google captcha to give the device access permissions again
Rebooting
Turning off 2-step security on Google
Changing my me.com password
Changing my Google password
So far none of these have worked and I'm rapidly approaching my wits-end whereupon I hoy the device full pelt at a wall and buy something else.
Could anyone shed a little light (or sanity) to this issue?
Thanks in advance.

This issue is still a real pain in the arse - does anyone have any ideas?
Thought of asking Apple but was told that I'd have to pay them just to ask a question about a flaw with one of their products! Great customer service.

HT204053 My husband and I both have iPhones but we only have one iPad. We use the same apple ID because we also share the same email address. How would this work with iCloud because we don't share the same contacts? Thanks Elainecontacts

My husband and I both have an iPhone and we share an iPad. We also share the same email address so how would this work with iCloud because we don't share all the same contacts?
Thanks

An icloud account is designed to be used by one user. That user can have all his/her devices synced with the same Apple data (email, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc.) . When two people use the same account, then problems usually occur when one user edits data that the other user doesn't want changed on their device. You can continue sharing the same ID for the itunes account in order to share the purchased music, apps, etc. itunes accounts and icloud accounts are different.
It's by far better that each user has his/her own icloud account.

My Creative Zen has started randomly deleting alb

I bought my Zen (6 GB) from eBay on February 3rd.
It was deli'vered to me on the?5th of February. Although it was for my birthday (on the 23rd), I was allowed to put all my albums on it etc. so that it would be 00% ready for use when I actually opened it on my birthday morning.
I followed the instructions and did?nothing out of the ordinary. Charged it fully before use, didn't do anything weird when I was syncing music onto it, etc. I?have had three previous Creative MP3 players, one of them a Zen (4 GB), but decided to upgrade to 6 GB when?the?4 GB?became too small, and have treated them all the same. They have been fine.
I have been using?my current Zen?since the 23rd, but discovered about a week ago that it has started randomly deleting?various albums. I don't know if it just doesn't like Sting, Fleetwood Mac, or Mark Knopfler, but it's kind of irritating.
Has this happened to anyone else, and what might have caused it's Is it just faulty? Thanks.

My music is bought; just ripped from CD onto my laptop and synced using Windows Media Player (like all my previous MP3 players).
Also, I just remembered that it sometimes does this thing where it turns itself back on after I've turned it off.
Well, it's just deleted all my Bowie albums my guess is, the player s become sentient and has taken against the music I listen to.
Anyway, thanks for your help. I'll contact support and see how it goes from there.

HT1529 I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???

I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???

Email addresses into what?
Each user should have their own account and password to log in. Each is independent of the other. So for Mail each has their own Mail account if they set one up in Mail.
That's the way it should be set up. Are you using a single account and allowing multiple users to use that one single account? If so then in Mail at least you could set up individual mail accounts. But everything else in the system is shared.

After working fine for several months, my iPhone 5 has started dropping bluetooth connectivity for 2 to 5 seconds at a time with my Sony MDR-1RBT headphones. The headphones work fine with other devices. I haven't moved to ios7 yet. Any ideas?

What user troubleshooting have you done on the phone? The steps are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Understand that a restore will put the latest iOS on your device. It is also possible there is a hardware fault on the device and the Bluetooth is failing. Anything is possible given the scenario you describe.
And as far as iOS 7.x is concerned, we have 5 different iPhones here at home, all with the latest iOS, a 4, 4s, 5c, and 2-5s and all are working just fine. So, a blanket statement such as the one provided by the other poster is not completely true. Others are not having any issues at all either.
