Changing the alternate apple ID

I recently changed my email for my Apple ID but when I changed my Apple ID email, my alternate apple ID stayed the same. (Ex. Previous email: [email protected] -> New email: [email protected] Alternate Apple ID: john_seed88@icloud(me).com) Does anyone know how I can change my alternate apple ID???

HT204053 My partner and I split and I can't change the Alternate Apple ID on my account which is in his name

My partner and I split and I have changed all my passwords but I am unable to remove/change/edit the Alernate Apple ID which is his me.com email address. Don't think he can access anuthing but sick of looking at his name.

To change the iCloud ID on your phone 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. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, 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 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.

I tried to change my Apple ID from AOL acct(no longer open)to a yahoo acct.At the time of setup,I put my yahoo acct as the"alternate Apple ID".Now I want yahoo as my primary & it won't let me,my yahoo(.me)is already in use as my alternate Apple ID!!

For years, my primary account with apple has been used with my AOL account. s Luckily I just discovered this in iCloud, that's its retaining all the old email, and documents relating to my old AOL account, because this is NOT what I want being saved up in the Cloud. It's very important that I switch it to my yahoo account, which it looked like it would be a simple process. I hit edit and that's when it became a challenge - it only allowed to me change primary ID and my alternate ID could not match. So I looked down the page and saw there was a very similar looking email already in the alternate Apple ID list. It was my yahoo address but it ended in " .me" I have tried looking all over the net and I can't figure out how to do what I want....which is simply swap my current Apple ID with Alternate Apple ID but there are ZERO instructions (at least that I can find) on how to do this - at least how to edit my alternative Apple ID. If I could find that out, I'd figure out the rest from there. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance....

Where are you trying to log in? You should be able to change your ID at http://appleid.apple.com - can you log in there?
Before you change your ID you should log out of the iTunes Store and on any devices which are logged into iCloud. Then once you've changed it you can log back in with the new ID. (Your iCloud synced data will disappear from the device when you do this but will reappear when you sign back in - give it time).
If you are unable to sign into http://appleid.apple.com you will need to contact Support. Go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'. If you have any problems with that try this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

How do I change my alternate apple id from the old email address I no longer use? I am not given an edit option. Thx

How do I change my alternate apple id which is an old email address I no longer use? I am not given an edit option. This old email address has already been removed from alternate email options but does not want to leave the alternate ID position! Thx

Your apps were purchased under the old ID, so they will have to be deleted and re-purchased/downloaded under your new one.

How can I change my alternate Apple-ID

Hello from Germany,
I have had an issue with synchronization (photos, calender, notices etc.) between my different devices (Mac, ATV, iPhone, iPad) for a few months.
Today I realized the origin of my issue - at least I think so that this is the origin.
I always use my primary Apple-ID to log into my account at "icloud.com". Inside my account I clicked on my name because I was looking for the issue. And there I saw that it is written my ALTERNATE Apple-ID. I guess it can´t be possible to synchronize my devices because I am using my primary Apple-ID for them but "icloud.com" is using my alternate Apple-ID.
Please don´t mix it up with alternate e-mailaddresses! I do talk about the alternate Apple-ID.
So, I wanted to change it and logged into "appleid.apple.com". But there is no possibility to do anything at the alternate Apple-ID, neither to edit/change nor to delete it.
Do anyone have an solution for my issue? I am quite sure if I would be able to change my Apple-ID inside icloud.com I had not any issues to synchronize my devices.
I hope you guys got my technical issue - it is quite difficult to describe it in a foreign language.
Thank to all who will try to help me.

Leider wirst du diesbezüglich nicht fündig werden, da es bis dato noch immer keine Möglichkeit gibt, die Alternative Apple ID (mit @me.com und/oder @icloud.com Endung) zu einer primären Apple ID zu ändern. Apple lässt dies einfach nicht zu. Personen, bei denen die @me.com und/oder @icloud.com Adresse der primären Apple ID gleicht, haben diese komplett neu angelegt und nicht mit bei der Erstellung des iCloud-Accounts mit einer bestehenden Apple ID verknüpft.
Da dieser Mix von besthender Apple ID (iTunes Acount) mit neuem iCloud Account (@me.com und/oder @icloud.com) gängige Praxis ist, dürfte dies eigentlich keinerlei Auswirkungen auf die Synchronisation deiner Kalender etc. haben. Hast du auch bereits probiert, dich auf allen deinen Geräten auszuloggen und dann mal ausschließlich nur mit der alternativen Apple ID (also der @me.com oder icloud.com Addresse) anzumelden?
Hinweis zur primären Apple Adresse (nicht ID):
Solltest du deine primäre E-Mail-Adresse ändern wollen so habe ich vor einer Weile einen Weg gefunden, mit dem die sekundäre E-Mail-Adresse (@me.com oder @icloud.com) bzw. E-Mail-Adresse in eine primäre umwandelt werden kann. Leider ist es aber nur eine 99% Lösung, wie du sehen wirst, vielleicht löst es aber dein Problem (da zumindest das primäre/sekundäre E-Mail-Problem (leider nicht Apple ID) halbwegs gelöst wird). Ich denke jedenfalls, dass es ein Versuch wert sein sollte.
1. Rufe zunächst die offizielle Apple Webiste auf: www.apple.com/de
2. Öffne dort die Seite des Apple Stores
3. Klicke dort nun auf "Account" (rechts oben unterhalb der Navigation)
4. Wähle "Account anzeigen"
5. Wähle nun "Apple ID und Kennwort bearbeiten"
6. Log dich ein
7. Nun kannst du bei Zahlungsinformationen ebenfalls deine sekundäre Apple ID eingeben(, wodurch deine sekundäre Apple ID zukünftig auch zum Versand von Apple Store Rechnungen an dich verwendet wird).
8. Speichern nicht vergessen.
9.Wenn du dich nun wieder auf der Apple ID Website anmeldest (https://appleid.apple.com/de/), wirst du feststellen, dass deine sekundäre E-Mail-Adresse nun auch deine primäre Adresse geworden ist, allerdings nun auch ein gelbes Fenster auf eine Änderung der Adresse hinweist (deshalb 99% Lösung)

HT5621 How do you change your "Alternate Apple ID"?

How do I change my "Alternate Apple ID?

If you were a migratee from MobileMe then you would have an @me.com and an @icloud.com address with the same text before the '@' - they are effectively the same address and you can't change either.
However 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

Changing the alternate email address

My mother has the same alternate email address as my iCloud account, so I've been trying to change her alternate email address. However, when I go to manage my Apple ID on her account, there is no edit button next to her alternate email address. Also, when I go to mail settings on her iPad the iCloud account information displays my iCloud account as her email. Is there any way I can change this, as it's very annoying.
Thanks,
Charli

Forgive me. I mis-spoke. It is the "alternate Apple ID" that I need to delete or change. When my co-worker retired we bought him the iPad2 and in the process of setting it up for him it originally got set up using my email address because basically we didn't know what we were doing at the time. A year later I purchased an ipad for myself using my email. Now under my account name, etc..it shows MY apple id, my email address, and his Apple ID as the alternate Apple ID.

How may I change my alternate Apple ID

I would very much like to change my alternate Apple ID which currently ends in me.com.

Hi numbles45,
I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear on what exactly you are describing. If you are talking about changing the alternate email address associated with your Apple ID, you may find this article helpful:
Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses - Apple Support
On the other hand, if you are are talking about a me.com address in the context of using it as an alternate login to iCloud, then this article may be more useful:
iCloud: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses - Apple Support
If you need to change your primary Apple ID, there is also this article:

HT5312 how can change my alternate apple id?

Is it possible to change my alternate apple id as i have spelling mistakes in the alternate apple id i made.

I had the same problem and found the answer at the following link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 which basically says the following:
You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
Navigate to My Apple ID 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.
I hope that helps.

HT201342 how CAN I CHANGE MY "Alternate Apple ID"

how CAN I CHANGE MY "Alternate Apple ID"?

You are evidently both using the same iCloud account, so inevitably you share all the data. iCloud was never designed for mulpitple users. You can't separate [email protected] from [email protected] - they are effectively the same address.
If you want to keep your email separate from your wife's you are going to have to open a completely separate iCloud account; however you won't be able to move your @icloud.com address to it, so it's a choice between changing your email address and putting up with the existing sharing.
Changing your email address is a bit of a hassle as you have to email all your contacts and ask them to use the new one, but this happens quite a lot and most people are used to seeing this. You could also set up a Rule on your wife's iCloud account to forward anything addressed to [email protected] to your new address, so that you would still catch mail from people who hadn't updated and ask them to.
(To set up a Rule go to http://icloud.com and on the Mail page click the cogwheel icon at bottom left: choose 'Rules'.)

HT204161 HOW CAN I CHANGE MY ALTERNATE APPLE ID!!!???

HOW CAN I CHANGE MY ALTERNATE APPLE ID!!!???

An Alternate Apple id can't be changed, it's tied to the iTunes account, you can only change alternate email addresses (via http://appleid.apple.com)

I cant change my alternate apple id. How can i change or delete it?

I cant change my alternate apple id. is there any way to delete or change it?

Think about it.
If you lost yours in the middle of the road what would you want to happen? For the finder to try and make it their own or for them to try to get it back to you?
THe activation lock cannot be broken so the device is as good as dead to you. You'll never be able to make it your own.

HT204053 How can I change my alternate Apple ID address

Hi, I want to change the alternate Icould address that is on my Ex wife name not sure now why, its the @icould.com and the @me.com and I cant find any place where to do this.
I want to keep my Apple ID but my Icloud shows with her Icloud Email, should I just do another Icloud account and will it let me use the same Apple ID Email or what should I do?
Many Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's not really important whether it's the Apple ID or the alternate address, iCloud email addresses cannot be changed. You may wish to consider creating an alias to use instead. You can create aliases at the iCloud.com website.
