Can I use my old recovery email as my primary appleID?

I no longer have access to my email account used as my appleID.  The email account I use now, was set as my recovery address.  I deleted my recovery email address, then tried to use it as my primary appleID, but it won't let me. Is this possible?

Wifi is the same.. all wifi networks are just that.. networks. There is no direct control of the hard disk.. it must have a smart OS (firmware) built into the unit that shares the hard disk over the network using AFP or SMB (mostly those two but there are other protocols, like FTP, HTTP, etc but Apple doesn't believe in anything else) Time Machine is only able to backup local drives.. that is a drive that is totally controlled by the computer. It matters not a wit, which interface you use, sata, esata, usb, fw400, fw800 or thunderbolt.. all of them are directly controlled by the computer.
Carbon copy cloner can copy files from one network drive to another. Finder can of course copy files.

  • Can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    can i use an old eprint email account with a new printer?

    Hello arbazu,
    Unfortunately, when setting up a new/replacement printer, you wont be able to use the same email address, nor can it be transferred to another printer. Once an email is used, the email address itself is not able to be used for a certain period of time (which I believe is 6 months).
    However, by creating a new email address, but adding an 01 or 02 at the end, you can get something very similar to what you had previously.

  • How can I use my old MobileMe email address if I did not migrate to icloud by the deadline?

    I had a mobile me account that I did not migrate to icloud.  Now when I try and set up an icloud account using the old mobileme email address, it says that address is already in use. I then try and access it but the password doesn't work and it says mobileme is closed. When I try and reset the password, it says an email has been sent to the email on file...which is an old mobileme address that I cannot access.
    How can I get this email address set up in icloud? 

    Nice idea - I tried it but it doesn't seem to work (at least not for me).
    So here are the details in case, you can spot something more I could do....
    When MobileMe was live
    MobileMe ID was [email protected]
    AppleID (to make iTunes purchases) was [email protected]
    When iCloud went live (and MM was still alive)
    iCloud account was created based upon AppleID - [email protected]
    iCloud would not create [email protected] as was already in use (by me)
    iCloud would not merge [email protected] as iCloud does not merge
    MobileMe migration to iCloud option was not taken
    Deleted all data out of MobileMe account (mail, calendar, contacts, gallery)
    Deleted MobileMe mail account off of all devices
    When MM died
    I received notification that I had not migrated my MM account
    iCloud was happily working as Contacts/Calendar sharer using my AppleID of [email protected]
    Weeks later on Mac running 10.8
    System Preference - iCloud, already logged in with AppleID of [email protected]
    Then ticked the untick Mail box
    Long wait with small grey whirling cog box, stating "Loading". Eventually a BLANK message box with OK which then disappeared on a timeout.
    System Preference - Mail...  Re-added [email protected] (now picked up as iCloud account)
    Mail - Accounts.... Re-added [email protected] BUT got message "Mail can'y connect to the account..."
    So tried logging into www.icloud.com (using AppleID of [email protected] where my contacts/calendar now reside).  Clicked on Mail icon and received "@me.com Address Needed" message

  • HT4864 Can i use my old email address on ICloud?

    Can i use my old email address on ICloud?

    iCloud mail handles only its own emails - you can't collect mail from other accounts as you could with MobileMe - so all you can do is set up forwarding from other accounts to iCloud. However you can only use the iCloud address as the 'From' address when using its outgoing server, so when you are using your Mac or iPhone you are better off setting up other accounts separately in the Mail app. Only when using iCloud webmail will this then be an issue.

  • Can I swap my recovery email for my primary email?

    i want my recovery email as my primary email and i don't know how to do it!!?

    You can try removing it as your rescue email address - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
    Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
    Click "Manage your account"
    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    Click Password & Security
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
    Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
    Step 6 should also give you a Delete button next to it.
    When you've done that you may then need to log out of that site before logging back in and seeing if you can then use it as your primary email address. And then similarly log out and see if you can add your current primary email address as your rescue email address.
