Changed my email address and cannot do apps updates because the changed email doesn't show on the IPad

I changed my email address and, therefore, had to apply the change to my Apple ID.  However, when I try to do apps updates on my IPad, the verification window that pops up still shows my old email address and doesn't accept any of the passwords I try to enter...

Apps are always tied to the Apple ID that you used to buy them with. You will have to use the old ID in order to update those apps. Just use the old ID and enter the password for that ID when you want to update those apps.

  • I am trying to change my Apple ID. Try to do this I keep getting an error message saying 'This email address is designated as your rescue email address and cannot be used as your Apple ID or Primary email address. Please choose another.' The email address

    I am trying to change my Apple ID. Try to do this I keep getting an error message saying ‘This email address is designated as your rescue email address and cannot be used as your Apple ID or Primary email address. Please choose another.’ The email address that I want to use did use to be my recovery email but I have changed it, so that address is no lonegr associated with my account. I do not understand why I cannot use it as my Apple ID now.  Can anyone help?

    Contact iTunes customer support for assistance.

  • HT5312 What if I no longer use my rescue email address and cannot remember the username or password for that email address to retrieve the answers to my challenge questions?

    What if I no longer use my rescue email address and cannot remember the username or password that I set up as my rescure email?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question).

    I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

    Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

  • What do you do when you have an outdated email address and cannot update your apps?

    I bought my Mac Pro in early 2012 and had a Cable email address which I put as my Apple ID and iTune Store address.  Later in 2012 I moved and no longer had access to that email address and changed my Apple ID and iTune email address.  The problem is I have 3 apps that need to update but are under the old email address ID and I cannot change it I don't remember the password, and they cannot send anything to that former address to get the password.  This is especially important to me because one of the apps is iPhoto that I use constantly and love. What do I do to remedy this situation?

    Go to the Mac App Store main page, choose Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say. If you don't get any help from them, delete those applications and then download them from a different Apple ID; this may require repurchasing paid applications.

  • Email messages now show "To: me" instead of the name or email address and I want to know how to change back to the way it was.

    I use several yahoo email addresses and it has always been very convienent to see if it is a personal or business related message by simply seeing the To: line. Now all of sudden all I see is "me" and it is not at all helpful. I didn't make the change nor authorize it to be done. I am not even sure if this is a Firefox issue or a Yahoo issue. I would like to know how to change back to show the full email name or address.

    hello shackiraq, you'd have to contact yahoo's support about this issue - firefox doesn't handle your emails but just renders a website like it is provided to you by the server of a webmail service.

  • I changed my email address and apple id, but havebeen unable to change my cloud id

    I changed my email address and changed my apple id and password, but have been unable to change the icloud id. How?

    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/).

  • EMail addresses and purchased music/apps.

    Unfortunately due to lack of knowledge when setting up my systems I now have 2 Itunes accts with different email addresses.  To further complicate things, one of the service providers with which I have an email acct is terminating my account as I have changed service provider. 
    How can I transfer my music and app purchases bought on the acct where the email address will be deleted to the working/current acct?

    Many thanks KP whilst I hate having multiple email addresses inputing to the same databases I can see that at the present time there is no alternative.
    Many thanks for your help.
    Regards

  • Changed my Apple User Name (email address) and home sharing no longer works?, Changed my Apple User Name (email address) and home sharing no longer works?

    I've had the 2nd generation Apple TV since this past October when it was released and it has worked fine until I recently changed my Apple User Name (email address). After changing my user name my Apple TV and iPhone 4 no longer find my shared network. Home sharing is enabled on all devices, including my Sony Vaio Laptop, iPhone4, and Apple TV 2nd generation. Everything else has remained constant, including service provider, router, modem, and internet security (Trend Micro). Also, my library is on a networked hard drive, which didnt seem to make a difference before, but I figured I'd mention it. Any thoughts?
    Thanks.

    Winston,
    Thank you for the information.  He confirmed that the ID and password are the same on every device.  This only started happending when he changed his User Name with Apple. 
    --Itunes is running on a Windows Vista Machine (Sony Vaio)
    --He has an Apple TV (2nd Gen)
    --He has an iPhone 4
    Can you tell me more about the technologies that apple uses to make "homesharing" work?  Do you think he may need to remove then re-install Bonjour?

  • Ive put in an incorrect iCloud email address and cannot verify my password any ideas

    I got the iPhone 5s and when doing set up I put in an email address that doesn't exist and a password , after set up it tells you to follow email to verify , now I can't get in to my iCloud due to not being able to verify password, and when I am trying to put password in it tells me its incorrect

    If you want to use another Apple I.D, you can go to SETTINGS - STORE. Click on the Apple I.D; select Sign out and Sign in with a valid Apple I.D.
    If you want to change the password of an existing Apple I.D. you need to sign in to the account first which apparently you can't as the "password" is incorrect. Here is what you can do to change the password.
    Go to https://appleid.apple.com
    Login with the Apple I.D. and you will see these 2 option.
    Select your authentication method.
    Email authentication: To access your information, we will send an email to the address(es) on file for you.
    Answer security questions: To access your information, you will answer the security question(s) provided when you originally created your Apple ID.
    Proceed with the one that's easy for you.
