Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
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")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another 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.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

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.

Names are associated with email address in Mail but not in Contacts. How do I fix this?

When writing a new email if I begin typing someone's name, it automatically starts showing matching first and last names and email addresses. So if I start typing Bob it'll start showing matching contacts and have selected by default Bob Doe <[email protected]>.
This is great in Mail but in Contacts it doesn't work.
If I start searching for Bob, there are no results. Instead the only result there is the email address. So I have to know my contacts email addresses instead of their names when I'm dealing with Contacts.
Is there a way to sync Mail and Contacts or something so Contacts gets the associated names of the email addresses?
Thanks

The same thing is happening here since the 10.10.2 update but as yet I can't find a solution but I am hoping it's an Apple problem that will get sorted out.
Eventualy.

Change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010

Hi
How I can change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010. I want to configure display name (from address)of email
for each site collection separately.for example I want to change "software unit"
in below pic to another name for my software unit site collection.
How I can do this?
Thanx.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to change display name of workflow email address in sharepoint 2010.
In my environment, if I assign a task to a user, the email is as below:
The “test” is the site name, the [email protected] is the “From” user.
Do you want to change the “From” field in the workflow?
If so, you can have a look at the "Send email extended" custom SPD workflow activity (http://www.codeplex.com/SPDActivities
) which allow you to specify the sender.
Here are some similar threads for your reference:

How can I change it when I cannot view it on my account. I am not even sure how this got setup.

If you mean your rescue email address, it's in the Passwords and Security section, after you answer the two security questions.

for example name displayed Robert with example [email protected] The name Robert is wrong I wish to correct it to David.

How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

You CANNOT change your iCloud email address once it is created and associated to you Apple Id (usually it is another email address). First time you activate iCloud on your device and turn on email setting, you are prompted to create an iCloud email account and after choosing one that is available you are CLEARLY warned that ONCE CREATED YOU iCLOUD EMAIL IT CANNOT BE CHANGED!!!
Fig.1 Warning if desired iCloud email Fig. 2. Warning about creating new iCloud
address is not available email which will be associated to you Apple Id
You have two choices: a) create an alias for that account after you sign in icloud.com using either your apple id or your new created icloud email account (that's what I did) or b) create a new Apple Id (with all the pain it involves)
I typed an incorrect iCloud email address and was linked to my Apple Id and now I have to live with this forever!?
The workaround was to create an alias, but I have the feeling that something is wrong with my Apple Id
All of us might make a petition to apple to allow us to change the 'main' icloud email address. What if I misspelled it!? How difficult can it be?
I hope this be helpful and answer your question.
P.S. In the same way... once you create your Apple Support Communities USERNAME it cannot be changed too!

Changing users UID and email addresses

Hello all,
I have been asked to see what would be involved in changing users uid and email addresses. We have used a format of the first 4 letters of the last name and the first four letters of the last name for many years.
What would be the best way to say change the UID and email address to the users full name. I know I will also have to change the mail store because of the UID's.
Thanks,
Gary

Gary, for Messaging, the best thing to do is:
1. Temporarily change the e-mail address to a dummy. Put the user in "inactive".
2. Create a new uid, with the correct mail address.
3. Use imsbackup, mboxutil, or MoveUser to move the mails over.
It's harder for Calendar. . . .

Icloud account Help not receiving a change password link to email address

Good day Forum. I am going to explain my situation as concise and detailed ..any help would be greatly be appreciated. I had created an appled id account for my daughter when she got her phone for christmas under that apple id as months passed my wife starting adding contacts under icloud account. Til then she had accumalted about 300 contacts under my daughter phone (icloud account [email protected]) My question is when i went under that account and changed the primary email address to my wifes aol email. I did this because i created my daughter a new apple id and wanted her old apple id simply changed to my wifes email address. Does it delete that account and totally create a new apple id? When i changed the email address i thought the account (contacts would simply just be associated with the new email address. As i added the new email address to my wifes new iphone, all the 300 contacts do not show. I have sent hunddres of forgot password links to the old associated email address ([email protected]) and never receive a password reset. I am trying to regain that icloud account because it is under theere were my wife had all her 300 contacts. Please help

Contact the Apple account security team for your country to verify your identity and ask for assistance: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. The call should be free of charge. If your country isn't listed, contact iTunes store support by filling out this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

HT204053 I changed my apple ID email address, and now I can't access my iCloud because it was listed with the previous email address. What can I do?

I changed my apple ID email address, and now I can't access my iCloud because it was listed with the previous email address. What can I do?

If the old ID ("email address") is an earlier version of your current ID, 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 iDevice, 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.

Mail adds wrong name to right email address

I type in a mail address and the wrong persons name gets associated with it. I can't fix it. the mail goes to the right person but person B's name gets associated with it. It doesn't work to uncheck auto fill addresses in the mail preferences either. How do u reset and control these actions?
thx
Mail ver 3.3

David,
I too have had this problem. I think the problem occurs when an address book from one computer syncs with one from another. Things get jumbled up in the process. Wrong names get associated with email address's. Go into your address book & find the email address & I bet you will see the wrong name attached. Edit the entry & all should be well.

Hi! How do I change iphone 4 id (email address ) on the phone?

You can change your e-mail address associated with your Apple ID, what you did is change the Apple ID instead.
All content bought with an Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
Check your Apple ID here: Note: do not create a new Apple ID see above.

Need to change my main BT email address, but how?

I'd prefer a reply from an OFFICIAL BT Forum Mod if possible, please.
I need to change my main BT email address, but how do I go about doing this?
The address is being used as a spoofed address by spammers and I am getting non-delivery notices from the intended receipients' mail servers. Not the end of the world, but it's a PITA.
Normally, I'd just dump the address and create a new one, but this is the main address attached to my account, which I cannot just change.
Advice and/or help (FROM A MOD ONLY) would be appreciated. I've already tried the Contact Us from BT and the Online Chat thing, but both times got idiots from India who had no idea what I was talking about.
TIA.
OB
I'm a Private person; I respect those who respect my Privacy.

contact mods
can take up to 3 working days for mods to contact you
