Can't change primary email

I login to skype using my microsoft account. I recently changed my email address on my microsoft account and my skype address changed automatically and allows me to login to skype with not problems.  When I go to my account in skype the primary email address is my old email address. When I change the primary email address skype askes me for a password but when I enter it, it gives an error message that it is the wrong password. How can I get my primary email address for my skype account to change?

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem andI did exactly like you with the same result
That's very problematic because my presently primary adress -which is my mail address at my university  - won't work anymore very soon because the university changed its name and consequently the mail addresses 
Unfortunately  the new university address which is now my primary address...was .the secondary adress I gave previously
If your find a solution, thanks for sharing

  • How can i change  Primary Email Address in apple ID

    How can i change  Primary Email Address in apple ID.

    You cannot change a *.mac, *.me or *.icloud email address - any Apple issued email address cannot be changed.  Only non-apple issued primary email addresses are editable.

    You can contact the AppleID support team at http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact and ask them what can be done.

  • How can I change Primary Email Address to icloud email?

    I have an apple id been using for many years.  I would like to change the primary email address.  I would like to create a new icloud email address and use that as primary email for my apple id.
    When I try to do this in the Manage Apple ID it says that I cannot pick an email address associate with apple domain.
    How do I do this???
    Essentially I would like to start over with an icloud email address but keep all my existing itunes purchases etc.   If I create a new Apple ID with icloud email id I am hosed and cannot copy over my purchases.   If I stay with existing Apple ID, I can change primary email address but I can't use icloud email.
    Any suggestions??

    While you can't currently change your Apple ID to a Mobile/iCloud email address, I found a solution that helps with a related problem.
    Suppose you've recently got an iCloud email address, but Apple are still sending all your iTunes Store, App Store and Mac App Store receipts to your old gmail address (the one that's still your Apple ID). And suppose they're also sending all the Apple Support Communities notifcation emails to your old gmail address. How do you change it? How do you fix it?
    Well the option exists, but it is hidden away in a weird place. To get Apple sending all of their receipts and notifications to your new iCloud email address...
    • Go to your country's Apple Store website http://store.apple.com/
    • Click on the Account button in the top-right corner
    • Under Account Settings, click on Change your default shipping or billing info
    • Sign in with your usual Apple ID and password
    • The email address listed under Payment Information is the key
    • Click on Edit next to Payment Information and change that email address to your iCloud address
    That's all you have to do.

  • Can't change primary email Apple ID

    Hello,
    Apple Website refuses to allow me to use another email address due to the fact that it has been used as a secondary email previoussly.
    Website: https://appleid.apple.com
    Originally i gave [email protected] as primary and [email protected] as secondary.
    I removed this secondary email address, added a new secondary address.
    So now only [email protected] is primary and [email protected] is secondary.
    When I go to change the primary address, website says that the address is in use as a secondary address...
    So even if [email protected] is now deleted from Apple website, it is not accepeted, as if it's still there....
    I hope this can work. I hope [email protected] is not stuck in neverland as it is my primary address that I use every day..
    Any ideas???
    Thanks.

    I have changed primary email on my Apple ID Account because this mailbox was closed, and unfortunately i changed address on my other, and now i can't sign in in the changed Apple Id account. this mailbox has closed I couldn't verify the changes. How can i repair this or move my goods in other Account?

  • How can I change my email on iCloud that is not verified yet

    I can't change my email on iCloud and the email on iCloud is not verified

    If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go 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, 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.

    How can I change the email address associated with my iCloud account?

    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.

  • HT4436 How can I change my email address? Help?

    It appears I have a similar email address to someone and we keep receiving each others mail - so how can I change my email address?

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account, and if it has @mac.com or @me.com versions these cannot be reinstated once deleted.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    However all this won't stop you receiving emails at the primary address: but you can set up a Rule to move all such messages to the Trash. Go to the Mail page at http://icloud.com and click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left: choose 'Rules'.

  • Issue when changing primary email address of Apple ID

    I consider this mail as bug report of how Apple handles multiple email addresses on Apple ID.
    Pre setup:
    Primary email: "email address"
    Additional address: "email address 2"
    Iphone installed with "email address" and
    Steps to do on appleid web page:
    1 - Change password (was forced)
    2 - Remove "email address 2" from additional mail addresses list
    3 - Change apple ID primary "email address" to -> "email address 2"
    4 - Add "email address" to additional addresses list
    Result:
    Primary email: "email address 2"
    Addidional address: "email address"
    When you try use iPhone, it asks login to iCloud (correct behavior, password has been changed). But iPhone does not ask for login, it asks password for "email address".
    If you try remove "email address" iCloud account, iPhone asks password for "email address" to remove "Find my phone". Device cannot be removed from iCloud web page so iPhone is "locked" to "email address", and this cannot be changed.
    Alternative Apple ID "[email protected]", also listed on additional email addresses list. You CAN'T change alternate Apple ID, but you CAN remove "[email protected]" from additional mail list. This must be bug!
    Another bug: You CAN'T select primary email address from 'additional mail addresses' list, you MUST remove address from list first, then you can change primary address to that removed address. You should able to use own verified address as primary apple id address.
    Also removed addresses must be re-verified every time after removing.
    Guess what happens when we have several iPhones/iPads on our household?

    I had a similar problem, which prevented me changing my personal data on iCloud/apple etc. I found the answer on the apple web-site, "appleid.apple.com".
    This site lets you change your primary country, and so lets you use the app store.

  • Can you change the email/username for Apple ID?

    Can you change the email/username for Apple ID? I got my apple ID when i was younger and now have a different email address and dont ever go on my old email. I do not like that everything is linked to that email or that my computer now sendds people emails from my previous email instead of my current email. I want all things to be linked to my new email and my older email to be out of the picture! please help!!

    Yes, you can update the primary email address on an account (as long as the address that you want to change to isn't currently a primary email address on another account) by logging into the account via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on an iOS device and logging into it

  • How to change primary email address

    how do I change primary email address. Of course I won.t be able to receive any responses because my primary email address no longer exist. I.m curious why Paypal will not let me change my address on the profile page.

    I found a resolution to this problem.    I had been using Chrome when I had the same problem as you.  I had to go to the Paypal website from Internet Explorer.  Then you can go into your account settings and add a new e-mail address and go through the process of confirming it.  At that point you can click on the edit button for the NON-primary email address and it will take you to the edit page where there is a box you can check to make it your primary address.  Click on that box and then you can go back and delete the old primary address.  Hope this helps.  Worked for me.

  • How can I change my email address in iMessages so that I can receive messages. My apple seems to have two different email identities and I cannot figure out how to change the wrong one.

    My email address in the imessage part of my ipad is incorrect. How can I change the email address to conform with the email address on the rest of my apple products? I can get messages on my iphone, mac but not on my ipad because of the incorrect address.

    Go on to settings> Messages > send and receive
    this should give you the opportunity to edit email adressed
