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

Clarifying on Andy:
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.

Changing primary .mac email address on my Apple ID

Hi,
I have very weird situation.
I have [email protected] and [email protected]
I believe both of the emails became somehow linked when moving from .mac to mobile me and then to iCloud.
And what's even more weird is that when I log in to appleid.apple.com it shows me that my appleID and primary email address is [email protected] Regardless if I login as [email protected] or [email protected]
The problem is that [email protected] is not working. It's totally dead. Mail server responds
+++
5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias:[email protected]
+++
when one tries to send email to this address.
How can I change the primary email address to [email protected]
How can I get rid of this @mac address?!
I want to forget it, I don't need it.
I tried to follow what is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
It says that I need to click "Edit next to your Apple ID".
But I simply don't have any 'Edit' button there.
And the worse thing is that all notifications are sent to [email protected]..
Purchases in iTS and etc...
And I am not getting them!
Thank you in advance!
Sergey.

Oh, my God, I am genius!
Here is the solution:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16373930#16373930
In few words:
1. go to store.apple.com and make sure that the country selected is your country (store.apple.com/ca for me);
2. click on the 'account' button there (top right corner);
3. log in;
4. go to account home page;
5. click on 'change default billing and shipment' link;
6. update your email address in billing info pane;
7. profit!
Now when I go to appleid.apple.com it shows that my apple id is still [email protected] (Gosh!), but primary email is [email protected] Voila!
Thanks to all for answering ;-)

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.

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

HT204053 My icloud account email address is my old email address. How do I change it to my current email address?

my icloud account email address is my old email address. how do I change it?

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 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. 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 iPhone 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.

- How did you dlete stuff from the iPod? If you have a 1G or 2G iPod and deleted the stuff by going to Settings>Genera.>Reset>Erase aall contents and settings without being connected to a power source, the battery dies before he erase was comleted since it can take hour.
- In any event try the following:
- Connect to a chaging sour for three hours.
- Reset the iPod and then connect to the computer and try to restore va iTunes.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next try placing the iPod in recovery moe and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last try DFU made and restore.

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore.

I need to change my iCloud email address. I changed it for my Apple id but I can't log out of iCloud to change it there. Find my iPad is activated so I can't delete my iCloud account. I don't have the email address the iCloud login has anymore so I can't have the password sent there. To sum it up, iCloud has an old email for the account log-in. I don't remember the password for the old email. I have Find My iPad activated so the iCloud account cannot be deleted. And I am already logged out of iTunes & App Store.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

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?? please help :-(

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.

TS4020 Can I change my iCloud email address name without creating a new account?

CCan I change my iCloud email address name without creating a new account?

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.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

How do I change my iCloud email address? Do I need to create a whole new account?

I have an icloud email address, it isn't very professional and I would like to change it to something more professional like my name @icloud.com

Once created, you can't change your main email address, short of creating a new iCloud account. What you can do, however, is create and alias address to use that will receive email in the same iCloud inbox. This explains how to do this on icloud.com: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a.

Can you change the icloud email address linked to you icloud account?

Some how the my husbands iCloud email address got linked to my iCloud account is there a way to change the iCloud email address to another?

Not without creating a new iCloud account. If you want to do this, create a new ID with the email address you want to use, then go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your device. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
This will not move your photo stream, however. If you have photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll and that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account. To do this, open your photo stream album on your device in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. You can then delete the iCloud account and your photos will stay in your camera roll.
