Can I update my email address on Support Communities?

When I go in to edit my profile, it shows my email address and says (required) next to it.  But how do I go about changing the email address that is used for the Apple Support Communities?
Thank you!

a quick Q... did this "department" indicate what was happening that prevented the normal editing of your primary email address? aberration? just you? the guy's having to check around with colleagues seems to indicate it is not common. Could it be that 'communityaccounts' would be expecting YOUR email as a one time workaround?
We might wanna refrain from suggesting emailing them as a pat solution and stick with the process that you followed?
best regards

    How can I update my Apple ID email in iCloud?

    I'm not sure I understand your question.  What is it that you are trying to change?

  • Can I update an email address on my icloud account

    My current Icloud (apple ID) is being used by my child for their ipod touch with my email address.  I now have a new Iphone for both her and for my wife.  I think they each need their own icloud (apple id)!?!  So, can I change the existing icloud (apple id) to my childs email address and set her phone up to sync with it allowing my wife to use the existing icloud (apple id) with her new phone?
    If so, are those Icloud (apple ID) then set up on the phones under settings...Icloud...Icloud account information area?
    It may be obvious that I am a new "I" device user!
    I failed to mention that I'd need to set up a new Icloud (apple ID) for my child.

    Ok.  First, you don't have to use the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores as you do for other services such as iCloud, iMessage, etc.  Everyone can still share the existing ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores without creating any issues.  This will prevent any issues relating to accessing your purchased music.  They should, however, use separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs for iCloud, as well as iMessage and FaceTime.
    You will first want to migrate your daughter to her own iCloud account with her own ID (again, she can keep the existing ID for purchasing).  To do this, assuming she already has data in the existing iCloud account, she will want to set up the existing account on her phone to download the data from iCloud.  This can be done during the setup process if her phone is not set up yet.  After doing this, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from her device, not from iCloud.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, choose Keep on My iPhone.  Then set up a new iCloud account on her phone with a new ID.  If she doesn't have one, tap Get Free Apple ID at the bottom to create one.  After setting up the new account, she can turn on iCloud data syncing, and when prompted, choose Merge to upload the data on her phone to the new account.  After confirming that her data migrated to the new account successfully you can now set up your wife's phone.
    If the existing iCloud account contains your daughter's data, you will probably want to go to icloud.com on your computer and manually delete it before setting this account up on your wife's phone.  If you don't, when she syncs with the account, her data will be merged with the existing data from your daughter and you'll still have to manually remove the daughter's data from the account.  Be sure your daughter's data is in her own account before deleting it from the original account or it will be lost.
    Once the original iCloud account is free of your daughter's data, you can set up this account on your wife's phone, turn on iCloud data syncing, and when prompted, choose Merge to upload your wife's data to the original account.
    Finally, to avoid getting each other's text messages or FaceTime calls, everyone should also have separate IDs for these services.  If they don't, for iMessage go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sigh back in with a separate ID.  For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • HT1918 I have updated my email address. Now I can't download the apps I have bought with the previous (no longer in use) email. What is going on?

    I have updated my email address.
    The system does not link my previous account (previous email) to my edited email. Therefore I am not able to update apps and have no acces to the apps I have bought in the past.
    Can someone please explain how do I access the apps I have already bought?

    I started the process in iTunes.
    Apple give us the option to edit our email.
    As I am no longer using "old email" I have decided to edit and update my information with "new email" (APPLE ID > Edit).
    Affter I did it the system simply does not recognize all purchases I have made with "old email".
    Apple response:
    Luiz I noticed that your account "new email" was formerly named "old email".
    If your computer is not currently authorized to play this account's purchases, when you double-click an item you purchased before you renamed the account, the authorization dialog may show the old account name. If this happens, you will need to remove the old account name "old email" from the account name field, type the new account name "new email", and click Authorize. This authorizes your computer to play the account's purchases.
    Luiz: "I just cannot see any of the old purchased items". My computer is authorized.

  • How can I change my email address on Apple Support Communities?

    Currently, I receive emails from Apple Support Communities on my Hotmail account, which is also my Apple ID.
    I have now created a similar alias @icloud.com and I would like to send all the mail from Apple Support Communities to my new iCloud email.
    I

    I guess it would help. All I really need is for my all emails from Apple Support Communities to go to my account @icloud.com. But Apple ID does not allow to use emails created on Apple-owned domains. So I technically must have at least 2 email accounts, which isn't really convenient.

    You won't be able to change the rescue email address on your acocunt until you can answer two of your questions, if you don't recognise the address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • You can use the same email address that you used to set up the old Sync? , before bookmarks can return, if I registered success?

    july 2014 I install new windows xp, but I can't log in before account 44*******@qq.com, its always give me enjoyful when I was easy open bookmark url from different computer.
    but there is no any notice or email to me firefox will have new sync system, if there, I could backup before bookmarks from 28 vision ( or some june's vision), but this big browser group is quiet, now, I can't log in again old account,
    achieve process:
    1st, normal account and right password, its show me unknown account.
    2nd, Password Reset, " An email has been sent to the requested account with further information. If you do not receive an email then please confirm you have entered the same email address used during account registration.", I couldn't receive any mail(or in spam) :(
    3rd, How to update to the new Firefox Sync ...
    "You can use the same email address that you used to set up the old Sync." , before bookmarks can return, if I registered success?
    I really feel disappointment with firefox( although used for many years), much text, but couldn't resolve clear simple path. answers more hidden link to read, I just use it explore internet, I am not technology engineer, don't care what so much b***t.
    thanks, back me old bookmarks only, thanks.

    Hi eddinchina,
    You should have no need to use the Old Sync account.
    As long as device or devices are Firefox 29 or later (They should all be Firefox 30 now) you should use the New Sync.
    You may use the same email address with both accounts.

  • How can I delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account?

    I need to delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account, but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
    I already tried 'Find my Apple ID'.

    but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
    If that AüpleID has been disabled for security reasons, you may not be able to access it. Then you need to give Apple Support a call:  only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
         Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
    You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form:https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

    When my iPhone updated, it reloaded an old email address as my iCloud address and I don't know the password associated with that email address.  How do I delete the old account and set up a new one with my new email?
    To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
