Can I switch a secondary email to primary

I am changing my email address soon, I need to delete it and switch one of my secondary emails to primary. How can I do that?

Hi marcofromcri,
I am presuming you mean you want to change the email address associated with an Apple ID, is that correct? This article explains how to do that -

  • HT202667 I am trying to make one of my secondary emails my primary and remove my current primary.

    I am trying to make one of my secondary emails my primary and remove my current primary as I am going to be closing my current primary soon to tidy up all email correspondence. The system seems to remember my secondary after I delete it and try to assign it as the primary.

    If you don't have access to your rescue email account (you won't be able to change it until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset you can then update your rescue email address to an account that you have access to for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses

  • HT201320 How can I switch from one email user to another?

    How can I switch from one email account to another?

    You have to select between the two accounts in the mail app.
    Say for instance that you are reading an email in your XYZ email account. Tap the button in the upper left corner of the mail app to back out all the way to where you can see all of the email accounts.... Tap InBox, then tap XYZ email Account and that will take you back to the main MailBoxes window.
    Is that what you want to know? There is no way to simply "toggle" between the two accounts.

  • In my iTunes account, how can I switch my alternate email address to my primary email address?

    Is it possible to do this?  I cannot seem to find a way.

    You can't change country with a balance - if you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes support and ask if they can remove the balance for you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • HT204053 how can i move an icloud email address from one ipod to another?

    Hi
    My kids have ipods and wanted icloud activated.  Foolishly I set up an icloud email account but used my son's name on my daughter's ipod.  How can I switch the icloud email account to my son's ipod?
    Thanks,

    I don't really understand iCloud, but I have an Apple ID since both my kids are underage (8 and 11).  They share my Apple ID, but have different Ipods.  Can/Should I have separate iCloud emails for them?  To recap, I have 1 Apple account, but have 2 kids, a boy and a girl.  How do I have separate id's for their individual ipods using icloud when I have one Apple ID?

  • HT1918 I'm trying to switch my primary Apple ID (email) with my secondary email. How can I swap primary with the secondary?

    I'm attempting to switch my primary Apple ID (email) with my secondary email on file. When I try, prompts say I can't replace either with the other email because the other email is in use. Do I have to cancel BOTH emails in order to add them back in the positions I want to? Thanks.

    1) Yes
    2) It tells me that is not available and then: "This email address is not available for use as an Apple ID. You may already have an Apple ID associated with this address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID."
    ...obviously I have only one apple ID.

  • I reset my IPAD password but the verification email wasn't sent to my primary or secondary email address.  Without the verification email I can't complete the password change process.  Any recommendations?

    I reset my IPAD password but the verification email wasn't sent to my primary or secondary email address.  Without the verification email I can't complete the password change process.  Any recommendations?

    Great tip from dorothy.  Also, some isp services are more aggressive from others in filtering what they think might be spam.  You might check your spam file from a computer, and see if the verification e mails are sitting there.   When i wen through the process, the verification e mail came to the new e mail address in under a couple of minutes.

  • Can I have a primary email and secondary email on my ipad

    How do I set-up a primary email and a secondary email on my new ipad?

    If the primary email is my apple ID connected with an icloud account will the secondary apple email account also allow file pictures and itunes from the new ipad into the original icloud account. Confused. Maybe my ipad should just have a separate account

  • I know have a mobile me account and so my apple id is switched from my email address.  i am trying to update my apps but it won't let me as it won't recognize my new 'ID'. how can i fix this on my iphone?

    I have mobile me account now and so my apple id is switched from my email address to my mobile me address.  Since I have made this change I can't update my apps. Everytime I try to sign in it won't recognize the switch. I have updated all the proper information on my iphone, however, when updating apps it still shows my apple id as my email address and not the mobile me account address. I am not sure what else to do???  I have even sync'd my iphone and tried to do it through my pc, however, it says that it can't update (nothing to update). I have ten updates sitting on my iphone apps...What to do...what to do?  Very confused.

    Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
    Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
    If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

    You can add as many e-mail accounts as you want. Go to Settings>Mail, Contacts,Calendars to add them.
    When in the mail app,you can have all inboxes displayed together (unified inbox) or you can tap the "Mailboxes" arrow in the upper left and select which one you want.
