Apple ID contact email

How do I change the contact email address?
Not the ID email but the email that they will use to contact me

there must be some step that I'm missing. I have tried to set the contact email to be same as the ID email. Yet I keep getting an email to a different email address

  • I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.

    I have one apple ID for multiple devices in my family.  I'd like to keep it that way for itunes/app purchases.  I would like a simple step 1, step 2, step 3 response on what I need to do to separate all other features like imessage, contacts, emails, etc.
    I have been reasearching how to do this on the internet, but I haven't found an easy explanation yet.  My family is going crazy over each others imessages being sent to others in the family and not being able to use FaceTime because of conflicting email addresses.  I have read that if each person gets their own iCloud account, this would work.  However, I need to know what to do after I set everyone up with their own iCloud account.  Do I make that the default email address to be contacted or can they still use their hotmail email addresses.  Any help- with easy explanation- would be much appreciated!!

    We do this in my family now.  We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores).  Each iDevice has this configured.
    Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud.  That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup.  That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice.  You can just restore from it.
    So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
    In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
    Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response.  What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures.  Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures.  1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

  • How do I contact Apple about these emails I'm getting from them?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm getting emails from Apple about renewing AppleCare and a replacement iPhone 4 but it seems they are meant for someone of the same name as myself who lives in the US.
    The odd thing is they are sent from Apple to an email address identical to my own except it misses out a full stop (dot) between forename and surname. How it's getting into my indox I don't know, and when I emailed this other Ed to inform him of this the email arrived in my own inbox which was really odd.
    Any advice anyone could give me would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!
    EDIT: It turns out Gmail doesn't distinguish between addresses with dots or not, so the emails are meant to be coming to be but some guy with the same name as me has entered the wrong address. Does anyone know where I can email Apple about this or what number to call in the UK? Thanks : )

    Hi Ed,
    Do the emails coming to you, by mistake, have a reference number at the top? Many will have some identifier to use for response.
    If not, have you tried contacting Apple Customer Support to report the situation?
    It is frustrating enough getting junk mail correctly addressed without getting mail about something you don't have and is incorrectly addressed

  • How do i contact apple support via Email? also apple support rant

    I tried by phone but the automated voice is broken and extremely frustrating. All i want to do is get another package sent so i can send my ipod off for repair/replace but so far apple have messed up in 4 different ways.
    1 - Not Repairing the ipod in the first place even though they claimed they did
    2 - Putting a sticker over the freepost code making impossible to send via freepost
    3 - Not having an onscreen option to cancel or resend empty package
    4 - Voice "recognising" automated answer machines on the support phone number
    havent got to 5 yet but i predict there will be.
    Any way of emailing Apple support then?

    Have you tried pursuing contacts on these pages (these are for U.S.):

  • Apple ID changing contact email

    I have 3 Apple ID's
    two are for uploading Ibooks and the third is for an Apple developers account.
    The ID I want to use has an Email contact address which I can no longer access, how can I change the contact email for that Apple ID as when I enter the password it tells me it's incorrect and if I request a password reset it is sent to the email address which I can no longer access.
    Any help?

    Apple ID security issues -
    Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder. You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time convenient to you.
    1. Go to http://www.apple.com/support
    2. Choose Contact Support and click Contact Us

  • How do I contact apple support via email ?

    hey, i need help recovering a account, however i am moving at the moment and the easiest way to get help is via email. Is there a way I can still get help via Email now ?

    You can contact iTunes Support via this page :
    - go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww
    - click on your country's flag
    - click on the Contact Support at the bottom of the left-hand column
    - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    - then select the category for what you want to contact them about
    If the problem is related to account security then your will probably need to contact them via phone as they will need to confirm your id and that it's your account : Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

  • HT5312 I didn't make a rescue e-mail and now i forgot the answers of my security questions!!' And the apple support contact wont open???

    I didn't make a rescue e-mail and now i forgot the answers of my security questions!!' And the apple support contact wont open???

    I'm not sure what you mean by the 'apple support contact wont open' (?). If you mean the 'contact iTunes Store support' link on the page that you posted from I've just tried it and it seems to wok ok for me, though I haven't gone as far as to actually contact them.
    You can contact either iTunes Support or Apple to get the questions reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps on the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use, or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

  • How do I prevent my contacts, emails and files from syncing to my daughters iphone but continue to have the apps sync?

    I recen't bought my daughter an iphone 4 and I have a 5.   I want to prevent my contacts/email ect from syncing to her phone (and hers to mine) but still have all the apps and other things sync.   Is there a way to do this?  We have the same itunes and icloud account.   I'm not sure if they are the same thing or completely seperate entities.  I'm pretty apple illiterate and really need instructions in layman's terms.  LOL

    A couple of options:
    Create a new AppleID for her and set up iCloud on it. Login  to that account on her device (Settings app > iCloud) but leave the iTunes&App Store account as is. (I have this set up on my wife's iPhone).
    OR
    If either of you do not need to synch items, turn them off in icloud (Settings App > iCloud). Emails should not synch unless you have the same email accounts set up (Settings App > Mail,Contacts,Calendars)

  • How do I have a different apple ID and email for my sons iPod, because is using my apple ID and email at the moment which is a pain

    How do I change my sons iPod to his own Apple ID and Email Address because he is using mine at the moment and it is a real pain.

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. You musg specify a birtdate that resule in an age of at least 13 years.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.    
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
    Note:
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
