Trouble changing apple id

My apple id is an old email that i no longer use and i would like to change it to my **********@icloud.com but when i try to do it in https://appleid.apple.com it does nothing. It even shows a message saying to make your apple id and your main email into one, i click there and again nothing happens. What should i try?

I'm not sure how you would do that. In order to add an @iCloud address, it must already exist, if it already exists it's already an ID in it's own right

  • Having trouble changing apple id to sign into itunes

    I am having trouble changing my apple id from my husband's itunes id to my own. 

    No, you don't need to change anything regarding AppleIDs. The article say's nothing about changing AppleIDs.
    This is just an optional, additional email address you can use (or ignore) that comes into your existing iCloud mailbox.

    Hey so I'm having trouble changing my country/region on my iphone 5 every time it go through settings Apple ID and try change the country it's just blank ? Any ideas ?

    Hello Natethemate,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with changing the country for the iTunes Store on your iPhone.  For this issue, I recommend signing out and back into the iTunes Store on your iPhone:
    Sign in with a different Apple ID
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
    Tap your Apple ID.
    If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
    Tap Sign Out.
    Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.

    If the issue persists after signing out and back in, I recommend quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.

    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes Store app, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

  • Im having trouble changing my security questions, they are from years ago so i do not remember them and the reset email is no longer active,and i dont know how i can use the account because i added money to it but it asks for the questions. anybody help??

    im having trouble changing my security questions, they are from years ago so i do not remember them and the reset email is no longer active.., and i dont know how i can use the account because i added money to it but it asks for the questions. anybody help??
    this says it all..

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Contact Apple through iTunes Store Support, and explain that you have forgotten your 3 security questions, that you can reset your password, but doing so doesn't reset your security questions.
    Remember, support will receive hundreds, if not thousands of requests per day, some from people trying it on, others with little explanation and others that are written extremely poorly. Take the time to explain your situation properly, be precise and concise, brief but comprehensive.

  • TS3276 I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I have installed OS X Mavericks on macbook pro, macbook air & iMac but I am having terrible trouble with apple Mail. I need to take all accounts online frequently OR worse I have to quit mail and restart computer. Is anyone else having problems?

    I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
    My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As".  So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail.  I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time.  Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
    Here's what I know:
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
    The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
    The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
    The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
    I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update.  None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them.  This is maddening!  What can be done?  Apple?? Anyone???

  • Just changed servers. Followed directions for changing Apple ID. Everything seems to be working except that my old Apple ID is still in iCloud account. How do I change that?

    Just changed servers. Changed Apple ID to new email but having trouble with iCloud. Although I followed directions for changing the Apple ID, iCloud ID didn't change. Thought about deleting old iCloud and adding new, but got warning that I'd lose everything in iCloud when I did that. Help!

    Problem has been solved.

    Hi Will_M123,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand you want to get all of your Apple devices on the same iCloud account. Are you receiving some kind of alert when you try to sign out of the iCloud account on the MacBook Pro? Please use the following information as a reference for signing out of iCloud.

  • HT5787 Change apple id for all purchased apps...

    I want to change apple id in my iphone as my old apple ID's password is not working. Please help me. I want to change apple ID for all new and old purchases.

    Have you tried logging out an back into that account on your phone (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store), and/or tried getting the password reset for it : http://iforgot.apple.com (if you do get the password reset then you might need to logout and back into it) ?
    If you create a new account then that will work for new purchases, but all of your existing downloads will remain tied to your old account, so only your old account will be able to redownload those purchases and/or download updates to its apps.

  • How to change apple id on iPhone. Wife and I have same apple ID.  Get each others iMessages. want to put her on another cloud with different id.

    How to change apple id on iPhone? Wife and I have same apple ID which causes me to get her iMessages instead of her. I also get all her pics on my phone and I don't want them.  We need to change her apple ID without causing my ID and cloud to be closed.

    Have her create a new ID.   Here:  https://appleid.apple.com/
    Have her log out of iMessage/Facetime/iCloud on her device.   Now have her use the new ID she has created.
    That should keep the 2 of you separated, except for iTunes purchases.   You can share that ID in a family up to 5 devices.

    I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate.  iPad 2, iOS 8.3

    This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum. 
    Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled?  It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing.

  • TS3988 iCloud will not accept any passwords after upgrading OS. 2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

    How can I use iCloud again after upgrading OS to Mountain Lion?  2 days of trying every password I have ever used, AND changing Apple ID and iTunes ID, still nothing. Can't backup on iCloud anymore.

    Apple ID's can be used for anything, a single ID can be used for all your accounts (ie iCloud, iTunes, MAS, Apple community etc), ideally this would be the way forward. So far as iTunes goes you need to continue to use the same ID as you have always used or you will lose access to your previous purchases and your iTunes match subscription.
    If you are using a second ID for iCloud, you can continue to do so or use the ID you use for iTunes, but if you choose the later you will need to move all your calendar, contact etc data to the account using the ID you use for iTunes.
    When (if) you change which account you use you would delete the account on an iOS device and log back in with the correct details, on a mac you would sign out in the iCloud system preference pane.

  • I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.

    I have Iphone 4s, and the phone will activate itself again. This I have verified, but when I shall put this onto my phone, so the phone will not approve the newusername and password. How do I get changed Apple ID on my phone so that I get using the new username and password that is verified? Silly to buy a new phone just for this .... The phone is almost three years old. How long can weexpect this to last? I would like an answer as soon as possible ... Thank you very much.

    It sounds like your device might be in Activation Lock.  Is it asking your to enter in an Apple ID & password, but only showing you the first letter of the email address and then some dots? Example: j•••••@icloud.com?
    If so, do you recognize that email?  Do you have an Apple ID that fits the same format?  If so, then go to www.cloud.com, log in with that Apple ID & password, and see if under Find My iPhone it shows this device.  If so, turn off the device, then remove the device from the list.
