Changing email addresses for AppleID

I have recently changed my email address for an active AppleID. However,  for various reason I would like to change it to another email address that already has an unused, mistakenly created, AppleID attached to it. I know I can't cancel an AppleID, but can I:
- reallocate the unused AppleID to a new email;
- rellocate my active appleID to the email address that was previously linked to the old unused AppleID?
Would love to know if this works before I start messing around.

Yes and yes. You can use an old email for the unused ID (even one that is no longer functional). You do not have to verify when you change it - it just has to be an email address. Once you have changed the email on the unused ID, you should be able to use it for your active Apple ID.
Cheers,

    Hi Joycars,
    Can you not simply sign out of the iCloud account with the incorrect email? Not sure I'm following?

    Thanks for the idea, but unfortunately that would not help as I use it on the WiFi at home quite a lot, especially when I have the PC switched off.
    Sorry, I got the wrong end of the stick. You need to set the phone to prioritise wifi connections, but I don't know the procedure for iPhone as I have Android. You could try simply deleting BT WiFi from the list of connections to see if it gets a lower priority next time you connect to it.

  • Change email address for icloud

    I have 2 iphones, that for some reason are both linking up to the same account.  I want to delete an icloud account,  i cant remember the password and it says my other information is wrong (ie dob etc) i don't know which email address its linked to (its not the icloud username email address for some reason)  I tried going into icloud on my phone and it just keeps saying verifying and asks me to input password.  

    If it says verifying in Settings > iCloud, try to keep hitting cancel over and over until it eventually stops, then hit delete account at the bottom.
    If that doesn't work, you will need to contact Apple to figure out where that Apple ID is linking to so you can get it reset and removed.

  • I can't change my rescue email address for appleid

    For some reason, my rescue email is my soon to be ex's. I went into Apple ID to manage the account and it shows only my email address, yet emails to change the password go to him. Help!

    Where on that site did you look ? From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
    Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
    Click "Manage your account"
    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    Click Password & Security
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
    Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.

  • How can i change email address for security questions and password resets

    I've noticed that my password reset requests are going to an old email acount. In fact, i am not sure where they are going.
    the real issue is that i don't see a way to change it when i am logged in (it took me many tries to actually log back in) to my apple id account.
    I've changed alternate email accounts, but again i don't see a way to change my destination email account for security section of the account.
    Also i would rather reset these via text (ATT has this option for my cell phone account reset and i love it).  I don't see an option like that from Apple at all.
    Any suggestions and help will be much appreciated. Don't want to struggle with password resets every time i need to get in.

    If you're able to supply two of your security answers, click here and follow the instructions to change your rescue email address.
    If not, you need to contact Apple.

  • Changing email address for Preferences???

    Hi Everyone,
    This question actually has nothing to do with SQL! I am having trouble working out how to change were my email alerts are being sent to! I login with my hotmail account, but email alerts (concerning my threads) are being sent to my work address. I can't
    work out how to change were alerts are sent to...such a seemingly simple thing! However the MSDN site isn't the easiest to set preferences in!!!
    Primarily I use the MSDN site for learning about SQL so I am specifically interested in changing where alerts related to the following URL -http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/ are sent to...
    Of course I have Googled this, but with NO LUCK (admittedly I didn't get super desperate and Bing Search!).
    Any help here will be greatly appreciated. If your an Administrator with enough skill to move this thread can you please share instructions on how to change the notifications email address???
    Kind Regards,
    David

    Hi David,
    You can change the email address notifications are sent to via 'My settings'. To get there, click on the 'Quick access' dropdown in the upper left (under the 'Ask a question' button) and then click on 'My settings'.
    There's a 'Configure alerts' section there where you can change the address.
    Just as a heads up (you don't have to worry about this, but I'll post this for future people who find this thread), making any changes in 'My settings' mangles all HTML tags in your signature block. You'd need to paste in fresh HTML before saving the changes
    to ensure that your signature doesn't break.
    EDIT:
    I just learned that you'll also need to confirm the new address that you enter into the 'Configure alerts' section before notifications will start being delivered to this new address. The confirmation email may take quite a while to appear.

  • How to change sip address after changing email address for bulk users

    We are in the process of adding new primary email address as [email protected] for 500 users. 
    current primary email address is [email protected] and 
    currently all LYNC users has sip address as [email protected]
    Now we need to change the LYNC SIP Address as their primary email address ( [email protected]). does any one has script to pull the users from CSV and change the SIP Address as their primary email address.
    I got below script from internet , but this is not going to help me, as this script is to enable SIP Address and mark the sip address as same as the email address.
    any help in this matter is greatly appreciated.

  • Using google groups email address for appleID

    Hello
    I want to create an Apple ID, and I want to use a google groups email account (e.g. "[email protected]") as the primary email address.  The google group has been set up with high security levels (only a couple of people with owner-level permissions have access to read emails, it is otherwise not open or exposed to the public.  This group was set up in my workplace for registering software and hardware purchases (apple and others) so that multiple administrators can manage upgrades and licenses, and so the administrators can change over time but have access to previous admins' emails.
    When I created the Apple ID, everything seems fine but the verification email was not received by the google group.  So either Apple is blocking the outgoing message, or google groups is blocking the message on the incoming side.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to do what I am trying to do?
    thanks
    Eli

    Apple ID security issues -
    Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder. You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time convenient to you.
    1. Go to www.apple.com/support
    2. Choose Contact Support and click Contact Us
    3. Choose Other Apple ID Topics and choose the appropriate topic for your issue

  • Changing Email address for Administrator

    We have specified a particular e-mail address while installing Oracle Files. This is the e-mail address used by sysadmin (administrator account) We would like to change this e-mail address to new one. But e-mail address box for sysadmin is grayed out. What is the workaround for changing e-mail address.

    Access the adminlogin as follows:
    http://hostname.domain:port/files/app/AdminLogin
    login as the user site_admin (site administrator) and give the password you specified during installation.
    Once logged in you will be taken to the subscribers main page - which lists subscribers.
    Select your subscriber, and on the following page select the 'modify subscriber' button. Click on next till you get to step3, you can change the email address here - mine is not greyed out.
    Alternatively you can also do the following:
    Access the AdminLogin link as above, and this time login as the subscriber administrator, this is the username you specified when you were creating the subscriber. Mine is filesadmin. Click on the users tab,and search for your subscriber administrator , again mine is filesadmin. When the search retrieves the result, click the user, you should then be taken to the user information page, you can change the email from here aswell.

  • Changing email address for Apple ID

    My sister has a bit of a problem. She has an old email address associated with her itunes store account. She has since purchased a Mobile Me account and wants to use that as her Apple ID for iTunes but she doesn't want to lose her purchases. We tried editing her account info but she can't change the email address to the Mobile Me address because iTunes sees it as an already created Apple ID. Does anyone know a way to use the Mobile Me address and still have all of the purchased content from the old ID work with it?
    Thanks,
