Then log into your account and change the email address.
Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID

I am trying to change the email address associated with my existing account to free up my university email address for use in obtaining Creative Cloud.

I am trying to change the email address associated with my existing account to free up my university email address for use in obtaining Creative Cloud. Every time I go to the account settings of my existing account (which currently uses my university email, as I set it up years ago and had no idea it'd eventually cause problems), I enter a different email to use for that account but I continuously receive an error message saying "account changes cannot be saved." It makes me think that it's because the email isn't verified (funny, it actually is verified since it has been the alternate email on the old account for years), but when I click the "send verification email" nothing happens (that is, no email is sent to that other email address).
Anyway, my university is now requiring that faculty create new accounts using our university email addresses in order to register/use Creative Cloud. Am I able to delete my old account, or can anyone help me actually change the email address associated with my old account without getting a "changes can't be saved" error?

HT5621 Trying to change the email on my apple ID but get error message that the email I want to change to is already used for notifications. What do I do?

Hi,
I'm trying to change email address on my Apple ID since the email registered for the account has been hacked and I can't access it anymore. The email I want to change to is connected to another Apple ID I created about 4 years ago, though I successfully changed the email on that account as well. So the email I would like to use for my main Apple ID shouldn't be "locked" anymore.
Though, when trying to change the email on my Apple ID I get an error message (in Swedish, so this is a direct translate from google): "This e-mail address is your email address for notification. It can not be used as the Apple ID or primary email. Choose a different address."
I'm not really sure what this means or how I can fix this. The email address is connected to my Ipad and Iphone for the email app, can that have anything to do with it?
If it makes any difference, I updated both my Ipad3 and Iphone4 to ios 7 today. I'm trying to change from my Macbook air though.
Please advise, would really appreciate a reply ASAP.

It means exactly what it says... The email Address is in Use. You cannot re-use it.

How do I change the email on my phone's icloud account to reflect a recently changed email change in my AppleID?

I changed the email information in our AppleID today. I figured out how to change most of the settings for our iphones, but when I click on icloud in settings, it still lists our original email address, and it won't allow me to change it. Is there a way to correct this? I'm sorry to be so daft if there's an easy solution that I'm unaware of!

Thank you for that information, and it shows me the incorrect email address, but it's greyed out and it won't allow me to tap on it to change it. Is that strange?

How do you change the email destination when you forgot your security question?

Hey! First of all, Thank you for noticing my post! Haha
Alright.. Soo.. This Apple ID was made a long time ago since my iPhone 5 was bought. I was planning to buy an ingame item but Vertification was needed so I was like yeah ok sure. XD Then it started giving me Security questions.
I'm extremely sure I forgot both of the answers to my Security Questions so I decided to change it.
I Went to Appleid.apple.com, logged in successfully, pressed the forgot the answer and it was said to sent to a YAHOO Email.
I used to have this Yahoo Email but I forgot about it since Yahoo decided to deactivate due to inactivement so now I can't change my security answers so I can't proceed with my purchase.
I was wondering if there's a way to change the email ( yahoo ) to my current gmail since I'm way more active on it and I
can access it easier..?

How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only. I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6. Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them. I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account. If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account. Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

How do I change the Email under iCloud Account Information on my iPhone 5?

I set up my Apple ID and iCloud using [email protected]
But a few days ago, in order to sync my Notes or Messages (I don't remember which), my Macbook said I had to create an iCloud.com e-mail address. So I made one. But the problem is that I my [email protected]'s iCloud account now uses the iCloud e-mail address.
When I go to Settings > iCloud > Account ([email protected]) > Mail > Email ([email protected]), to try to change the Email ack to [email protected] the Email option is grayed out... How come I can't use my own Gmail account w/ my Gmail-set-up Apple ID account... I don't even use the iCloud e-mail address so it's completely useless to have it linked to my iCloud account.
I know I could just set up another account through Settings > Mail in order to view my Gmail in the Mail application... but I like to be consistent and have my Gmail email w/ my Gmail Apple ID. ANYWAY TO FIX THIS?????????

I'm trying to delete the iCloud account on new iPhone 5 so I can change the email address to the new email address I use, but iPhone won't let me delete without turning off Find my iPhone for which it asks me for Apple ID password using that old email!!! Argh!

How can I change the email address linked to my iCloud account on iPhone 4S running iOS 7?

How can I change the email address linked to my iCloud account for iPhone 4s?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If it's your non-iCloud mail address, start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
If it is your iCloud mail address you want to change, you can't.

I've recently changed the email address on my i tunes account. The emai address on my icloud account hasn't changed, so i can't buy additional storage. It also won't let me delete my existing icloud acc.

I've recently changed the email address on my i tunes account. The emai address on my icloud account hasn't changed, so i can't buy additional storage. It also won't let me delete my existing icloud acc.

To change the iCloud ID on your phone, first save your photo stream photos to your camera roll (if not already there) by opening the my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap the photo thumbnails, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the changed ID. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your phone, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your phone when you sign back in.

How can i change the email address for apple id and icloud?, how can i change the email address for apple id and icloud?

i had to change the email address to my apple id. now when ever i try to use imessage or the icloud, it wont let me because it is using the old email address. i cant change it on my phone and idk what to do on my computer!

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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.
