Change iTunes account Email Address on iPhone

Hi,
I have read a lot of posts in here about this but none seem to fix my problem.
I have changed my email address in iTunes account. I have synced iTunes with my iPhone.
But when I try and buy something my old email address appears on the iPhone iTunes store and it won't let me buy anything.
How can I change the email address the iPhone uses for purchasing things?

I accually called them and was on the phone for like two hours trying to fix it. Do you have an apple id? if so you can use that to buy a free song and then synce the phone and then after that try to buy something and your apple id name should come up. I was using my aol email address and then for some reason it stoped working and I couldnt bye anything. I did that and now I can buy stuff again..hope this helps

Welcome to the Apple community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

Change primary account email address?

Is it possible to take a newly created sub account and make it the primary account email address? If so would this carry over to other linked services (ie Flickr) so I could delete the original primary email address
Thanks

Flickr maintains its own database to login. It only uses the email to communicate and update you. Once you 'll get your primary email changed in BT, you can maintain the same on flickr thereafter.
Note: Changing your primary email address on Flickr will not change your Yahoo! log in.

Sorry, but I'm going to question this again. The only way a BTinternet user can have a flickr pro account is by the association with their Broadband email address (either primary or sub account). Using any other email address (e.g. payg) will get the user a very limited Flickr account.
Unless the primary email address already in use by Stuart is converted to a sub account, then it is likely to cause problems and effectively stop them being a pro user.
The link you quoted has nothing to do with altering the user's Flickr status which is actually in question here.
Now - I am not saying that you are wrong, to me it just doesn't add up with the info I am aware about with regard Flickr pro accounts.

ITunes Account email address

Long story, but I have 2 iTunes accounts, one of which I no longer use. The email system for my primary account is going away, and I need to associate this primary account with a different active email address. I'd like to associate it to my other accounts email address. Is there a way I can either close or disable this second unused iTunes account, and move the email address associated with it to my primary account? Any other suggestions on how to fix this problem (other than open a 3rd email account someplace)?
thanks.

Different Apple ID's stuck in iPhone and MBP. Also, want to change iTunes account email.

Hi,
I just got my first Macbook Pro (YAY!!), and after fiddling around with it for a couple of days I would like to take advantages of the features of syncing with iCloud in my new hardware and my iPhone 4 (basicly clean up account stuff and enable stuff like Photostream).
I have two Apple ID's.
My [email protected] is used on my new Macbook Pro for iCloud: contacts, calendars, bookmarks, photostream, doc's and data and Find My Mac. It is also used on my iPhone 4 for contacts, calendars, reminders and Find My iPhone.
My [email protected] is used on my Macbook Pro for Mail & Notes, Calendars and Chat. It is also used on my iPhone 4 for iCloud: contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks, photostream, doc's and data and Find My iPhone.
To me it seems like my two Apple ID's are contributing with the same things from multiple sides etc. My hotmail used to be my primary email, but I've changed and started using google's services more (especially mail, notes, contacts and calendar). I would like to remove hotmail as primary mail from my devices and use my gmail account as primary instead, and at the same time of course redirect my visa from my hotmail iTunes account to my gmail Apple ID. I will still add my hotmail to get the mail in my iOS and OSX mail native mail programs, but only as a "secondary" account attachment.
I've been reading about these topics of merging multiple ID's as well as the answer to this question https://discussions.apple.com/message/16400957#16400957 , but I can't figure out where to start and what to do. Can anyone please help me, let me know what to do, in which order or point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Esben
Ps. I've attached a screenshot of my iPhone 4's settings under @Mail, Contacts, Calendar@, hoping it makes it clearer what is on my iPhone, than I were in the text.

HT1311 Change secondary iTunes account email address.

My iPhone uses icloud with my primary apple id, lets call it [email protected]
But my iPhone used to sync with my old apple id, lets call it [email protected]
My [email protected] email address is going away, so I need to update the apple id, ie [email protected] to [email protected]
When I do this, my iPhone can update apps from [email protected], but updating old apps asks for a password for [email protected], when that [email protected] no longer exists, so it fails. How do I make my phone update old apps using the updated email address?

Please read my question again, I am not asking to transfer purchase from [email protected] to [email protected], I am asking how to update the email address on my old apple id [email protected] to [email protected] and continue to update my old apps on my iPhone.

Change iCloud account/email address

Hello,
I recently got rid of my old email account that was synced to my iPhone (deleted it from my iphone email accounts) and got a new email, and added it to my email accounts on my iPhone, which is now my primary email account. However, my iCloud account and my apple ID user name are still the old email account. In other words, when I go to Settings/iCloud on my phone, under iCloud Account is has my old email address. I want to change this. I like continuity and I want my account to reflect the fact that I have a different email account. I also want my iCloud syncs to apply to my new email account, but I don't want to destroy my iTunes or anything. My iCalendar DOES sync to my new email calander (outlook). What should I do? Thanks!

You cant on your iPhone, but on other machines you can.

Switch Itunes Account Email Addresses

I have two itunes accounts: one of them has all of my information while the other one is not even registered (I haven't put in any billing information or created an apple ID). I want to change the email address of one account (all my information) to the email address of the other account, but I am not able to switch the email addresses because I cannot have one email for two accounts at any time! How will I be able to switch the email addresses? Please help!
Thanks!

Login to your unused AppleID and change the primary mail address so that it is available for the other account.

Can two Iphones have the same account/email address?

Can two iphones have the same account/email address? I bought two phones-one for my wife and the other for myself. They are both under the same account /itunes account /email address-Would this cause a conflict with the two phones?

No, as long as you want to share the same account for iCloud's services like Mail, Calendars, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, iCloud, Documents etc.
I personally would create two accounts so that everyone could have and use heir own mail account, address book, create meetings, reminders etc. without reading and deleting stuff of the other person.

Hello eric-evans,
If by Apple account you mean you changed your Apple ID, you should be advised that your Apple ID is used or tied into a number of different functions and services. If you have changed your Apple ID, you may find the information and steps in the following article helpful. In particular, with regard to Messages, you would want to double-check that the steps are done in the order listed.

I show and old defunct email address for my Apple ID on my APP store, iCloud, and iTune accounts and cannot log in. I am told my ID or password is incorrect. I did change my primary email address. that is the app ID that is showing.

How do I rename my App Store, iCloud, and iTunes accounts so i can update apps and software? I have closed the original email address i started my App Store, icloud, and iTunes account and cannot log in unders that Apple ID. I have tried going through device and my MacBook Air. Where can i get on-line assistance?

If you mean you are trying to delete your iCloud account in iOS 7 and you don't know the passwod for the old ID, do one of the following:
If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. 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 and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

I have been trying to recover or reset my password, but the reset email never comes, so I can't change my password. I tried to open a new itunes account to assign my iphone 4 to, but it always defaults to the old itunes account?

If you have given correct info about you ios 6.1.3 - all you need to do is delete account. You will be able to sign in with new one afterwards. Make sure you don't delete any info when you see those prompts.
