Changed Apple ID Primary Email

Hi - I changed my primary email address which inturn became my new apple id. Now i was already logged into iCloud on my iPad mini with old apple id. It does not allow me to delete, because find my iPhone option was ON and it keeps prompting me to enter password for old id. There is no option for me to change my ID to the new ID. Please help. I am stuck at this.

Read the response here from Oliverdumoulin Read the remarks about deleting the iCloud account.

I have always been under the impression that changing the username that you use for your Apple ID (in this case the email address which is supposed to be your username) that it had no effect on previous purchases. I assumed that you should be able to download the apps again for free using the changed username/AppleID.
You could try deleting one app and then try to download it again using the new ID and see what happens. Honestly, after reading about this for 4 years now, I am still unclear what happens when you change the email address that you use for your Apple ID. Obviously its not quite as seamless as I thought it would be.
I just found this as well.

Purchased an ipad but already got apple id through itunes and iphone but is not an email address, ipad setup process will not allow me to use current id or change id to primary email address - do I have to have different id for ipad

It does have to be a verifiable email address though, you can change it here:
Apple ID support
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

Can I change my verified primary email address associated with my apple id? I don't want to change my apple id as I have music/apps associated with it. My current email will be changing soon.

Can I change my verified primary email address that is currently associated with my apple id? I don't want to change my apple id because I have music and apps assoicated with it. I tired following some of the posts that shows going to an apple dialog that allows you to update your apple id and primary email separately, but when I try doing it I get a dialog that says I can update my apple id and my primary email. I don't want to change my apple id only my primary email. Anyone have any suggestions? That email is going away soon. Thanks for any help.

Did you change the email for the Apple ID or did you create a new Apple ID? A new Apple ID cannot be used with content that was bought using a different Apple ID.

I have changed my Apple ID primary email but it doesn't seem to make any difference to the email that comes up as my Apple ID when I try to update my apps.Still getting my old email details

I have changed Internet providers and have finally managed to update my primary email details under the Apple ID manage your account area.
However my old email details are still showing up when I try to update my apps etc. Can anyone please tell me what else I have to do to change my Apple ID. It seemed that I had already successfully done this but obviously not. I have an iPad 2

Did you change the ID in Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID? Tap the old ID and sign out and then sign in with the new one. If not running iOS 6 it will be Settings>Stores>Apple ID.

NO EDIT BUTTON FOR APPLE ID/PRIMARY EMAIL?

I'm trying to change my Primary email for my Apple Id.
I found an Apple 'how to' article where they say to click on Edit next to the Apple ID but THERE'S NO EDIT BUTTON.
So annoying!! Anyone knows how to change the Apple Primary Email address?
Thanks

This is a category for Apple Pay, first of all. Second of all, go into https://appleid.apple.com/account/manage to change your email address used for Apple services.

Change apple i d email?

i have changed my apple id, but it still has the old address in icloud and i cannot find a way to change it. also, i don't know my password, so i have no way to
delete that account and set up a new one with the new email. can you help? thanks

If this happened as a result of updating to iOS 7, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then 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.

HT4484 Migrating from @mac to @me with Apple ID/primary email

I'm not sure if anyone else has come across this, but i have had an apple email address back from when @mac was the thing which then got replaced with mobileme (@me), so I think switched all my friends to my new @me account, but as I set my Apple ID and primary address to be my @mac address like 10 years ago the Apple ID service won't allow you to modify this setting and go with the new domain. I can login using either but when I login to iCloud to check my personal email from away from my iMac it goes with whatever has been set with the primary account in iCloud. So now my friends get emails from me at home from @me and from icloud from @mac.
Should i forget the @me deal and just go back to my @mac account to get rid of the dupe email addresses and confusion i'm causing all of my friends?
MobileMe tech support had no solution other than to contact iCloud tech support. iCloud techsupport is only for the service related on specific hardware so nothing is related or i'd have to pay to talk to someone who probably can't do anything.
Apple, it is stupid you can't change your apple ID or primary email address when you're using an apple domain. I know you can do it as you show it in the support document (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), but it's not there for me.

You can remove it as your rescue email address by logging into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, selecting the Password & Security section of your account, and answering your security questions : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support
You can then try putting it as your primary email address (you may need to log out after doing the above and log back in), and putting what is currently your primary email address as your rescue email address.

Migrate apple id primary email.

I would like to use the primary email from an old apple id on my new apple id.
Ideally I would like to delete that old apple id and then just use the email as the primary on my new one.
I have tried changing the primary email on the old account, but it still wont let me set the old email on my new account.
Can I migrate an email address from my old apple id to be the primary email on my new apple id?

ok.. just trying to help and i dont know the answer... so bare with me..I use to have .mac then it switched to .me.com email then due to unfortnate reasons had to cancel it about 6 months ago otherwise I would still have that @me.com account. Take a look here... https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ also take a look at... http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html I was not aware that you could not use your apple id with more than one country. Do you also have 3 itunes libraries? (just curious). Also do you have 3 @me.com emails for all three countries? Here is what I did... I have only apple id... (no longer is my apple id ending with @me.com but instead it ends with @gmail.com) ok.. once you set up your icloud account with your existing apple id... for me it is now the @gmail.com account when i set mine up. It also gave me the option of creating a @me account... I did not do this at first. First I tried to use my old @me.com account and it said i couldn't then i used my curren @gmail.com account. ok... later on I created a @me.com account... I probably will never use it but once you have it set up in icloud.com you can not change it... I have not figured out how. but not everyone needs an extra email account so you dont need to set it up. I believe (99% sure) The Apple ID can not be the same as your @me.com account... unless you had an already existing @me.com account. I am not positive... but it does give a warning that says beware... you will not be able to change this @me.com account once you create it... I think... if you have already @me.com account you will be able to migrate over the calendar and mail. I am sorry i am just trying to be helpful - I dont know the answer to your question. I would make an appointment at a local apple store if your able to. to make an appointment go to support and under self serv... click online service assistant.

How to change Apple ID's email when I lost my email?

I created a Apple ID by my old email 3-4 years ago to buy Apps. However, I didn't use that email and now I forgot the password and rescovery question of my old email, I couldn't access to it. My Apple ID still works.
Can I change to new email with my old Apple ID? What happen to my apps which I purchased when I change to a new email?

Đừng mất mật khẩu nhé. ;)
(Don't lose your password.)
However, in the event that you get organized and try REALLY HARD not to lose your password, and somehow it happens anyway ... you can use the iForgot button on the same page, and it will send the password reminder to your new login email. You can also add a second email address as a backup.

Bulk Change UserID and Primary Email Address

Hi All,
We have just successfully completed Cutover Migration and imported in all users and mailboxes from our existing Exchange 2010 environment into Exchange Online. However we are now wanting to change all UserID and Primary Email Addresses to conform with a
new username strategy. All accounts are currently Cloud Only and we do not have DirSync set up and are not planning to.
Currently the username and email address for a user is in the format [email protected] We want this now to be [email protected] for both logging in and email address. We want to maintain the old Email address as a proxy address. How is this possible?
There are about 500 users, so I need a quick way of doing this with a script?
Regards,
Timus

You can connect to Exchange Online via the powershell console.
To add an emailaddress this should work :
