Apple ID using old Email address

I seem to have acquired two Apple IDs and I know I am unable to merge them.  The trouble is that the one I use regularly now has an old Email address tied to it and I am unable to edit that address.
How can I change the Email address tied to the ID I use.  If I try to enter my current Email address in the profile it tells me there is another ID with that address, but I don't remember the details, ID or password, with that address.

If the address you want to use has ever been associated with an Apple ID in any way then you won't be able to use it (even if you identifty the ID and know the password): you will have to use another non-Apple address which has never been associated with an Apple ID.

  • My email address changed and even though I have changed settings on my iPad and at the Apple store, my old email address comes up and asks for my password. The old password doesn't work so how do I eliminate that from my iPad and iPhone?

    Old apple ID and old email account is registered in my phone for icloud.  Cannot change password because it says my birthday does not match.

    they all end in the same domain.

  • ITunes using old email address

    A few days back I received several warnings onscreen that my me.com security had been compromised. Rather than click on any links, I waited and later accessed my account. I changed the password but I keep getting warnings that my account has been disabled and my account has been locked and to visit iForgot to reset my password. I've done that THREE times now and my iPad STILL uses an old email address to sign in instead of the me.com address and I can't update anything. Same with my iPhone. Anyone else having these problems?
    I DID check the statement for the credit card I use for the account and there were indeed 3 transactions I didn't recognize.
    How do I at least change the old email address iTunes is using? Throughout my time with this iPad, and sometimes on the Mac, iTunes used my regular email addie to get into iTunes. Now it still uses it but doesn't recognize it. *FacePalm*
    Anybody??

    Sign off her browswer session and click on "Forgot password click for assistance" link. Because you remember the emaiil address you used to register you can now just reset your password. When you say "don't want to loose the music I had" where are those tunes?

  • Creating new apple id with old email address

    Our old G5 has crashed and burned, we just bought a new 27" Imac and are trying to register it but It's been so long that I dont remember the apple id. When I try to start from scratch and create a new id it keeps telling me the email address is already in use. 
    If I request the lost id sent to me via email, it wont work because the computer where the email resides can't connect to the internet. If I try to answer security questions it tells me the birthdate doesn't match their records ( I don't know how that could be)
    I'm at a total standstill
    Any ideas??

    If I request the lost id sent to me via email, it wont work because the computer where the email resides can't connect to the internet.
    Using your new Mac, conect to the internet.
    Log into your email using a web browser to read the Apple reset email.

  • HT1918 Apple has an old email address and my new email address. The first one which is charter cannot be deleted on the game center or icloud.  I want only my new att email address to be my Apple ID.  Why does Apple not correct all the areas with old emai

    How do I get rid of my old charter email address on the game center app and icloud.  It is messing things up when I go to sign in with my new Apple ID using Att? I am continually asked to update my password!!

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

  • I am unable to access songs that were bought using old email addresses.  The addresses no longer exist.   How can I fix this?

    I cannot listen to music that I purchased from I tunes years ago, using various email accounts, and various computers.  I no longer have those email accounts, so I cannot access the password retrieval from them.  I also tried the security questions, and I tunes won't let me access the music that way either.  What do I do?  All the account names I ever used have been with my name and personal information.  Is there someone I can call?

    Why are there multiple accounts? Simply change the email address associated with the account when changing email accounts for whatever reason.
    If you are no longer able to access the account and cannot log in using the Apple ID, contact iTunes Customer Support via Express Lane.

  • Mail is using old email address

    Hello all,
    Years ago I had email contacts with (let us say)
    John Doe  from Apple
    Now, each time I want to send an email to « anybody » at Apple , mail uses the name John Doe/Apple.
    So a few months ago, I took away John Doe AND apple from my address book.
    But when I like to drop a line to Apple, the JohnDoe/apple address appears again and again.
    Even if I modify the address in « mail to : »
    How should I erase -for ever- that John Doe « associated » to Apple  ?
    Thanks. Have a nice day.
    Richard

    BINGO !
    btw : have you ever calculate the number of kilograms of operation manuals we have to digest ? ;-))
    btw : from time to time, I visit a friend in Chiang Dao (North West) and we go down the Mekong to Luang Phrabang :-)
    Thanks !  Richard

  • Using old email address after I've switched to BT

    Hi
    Hope someone can help me. I'm in the process of switching Broadband from EE to BT. I currently have a Freeserve email address (supplied by EE) which I use to log in to several online accounts (shopping etc) and also for emailing. I also have a Hotmail account. I access both accounts on my laptop through Windows Live Mail.
    Once I have switched will I still be able to use the Freeserve account or will it be closed. Also, will the emails that I have already received on my Freeserve account still be accessable or will I have to save them before switchover. I have previously moved some emails from the Freeserve to the Hotmail by right clicking/move to folder etc but will they still be there after switchover or will I have to Forward them one by one.
    Finally, will the Freeserve address still be active as a Log in/user name for websites?
    While I'm fairly capable at doing stuff I'm not always sure of the technical jargon so please keep any answers as simple as possible,
    Many thanks in advance

    Welcome to the forum. If the provider keeps your Freeserve account alive, switching broadband ISPs shouldn't make any difference. If not, you may have to make some changes but any messages already downloaded to WLM should be safe. Closure of the account would not prevent you continuing to use the address simply as a username but it might be sensible to update it as you go along.

  • Apple ID prompt on iPhone 4S uses old email address

    My Hotmail address became Outlook, so I've changed my Apple ID.
    My iPhone 4S doesn't realise this, though - when it prompts for my password, it uses my old ID.
    How do I get it to recognise the update?

    Hello 7spencers,
    There are a few places in the settings that you can log out of one Apple ID and sign in with the alternate Apple ID.
    If you are trying to sign into the iTunes and App Store with your Apple ID, you can use these steps:
    Changing your Apple ID account
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
    Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
    I also recommend signing out of FaceTime and Messages.  Once you are signed out, you can sign in with the Apple ID you would like to use on that device:
    Sign out of iMessage or FaceTime:
    iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    You can access the full article here:
    iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
    If you have iCloud setup, you can use these steps to sign out of iCloud on the iPhone:
    On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
    Once you have removed the iCloud account from the iCloud settings, you can sign in with your other Apple ID.  You can find more information here:

  • TS1368 Apple has an old email address, so I can't contact them or get my info anymore. Plus, to give them my phone number to call I am required to have a piece of equipment with a serial number. I don't have that either.

    I now can't get to my iTunes music, so I have basically been ripped off--especially since my iPod crapped out and they wouldn't fix it.

    Jloe,
    As I have posted before, You, and others having issues with Verizon would be much better off if you complained to the FCC and FTC as well as your Senators and Congressmen.  We, as individuals, have such small voices - use them where they might do the most good.
    Also, don't assume that Verizon doesn't monitor these postings, they actively do & sometimes contact those that post complaints.
    Sorry for your problems.  GC
