Does an email become available again if I change an AppleID?

My girlfriend's primary AppleID is associated with a stale email address.  Unfortunately, she can't change it to her current email, because at some point she used that to create another AppleID, which she really never used for anything.
My questions is, if we change the email on that other AppleID to something else, will she be able to change her primary account to her current email, or does it stay locked forever?  I'd prefer to hear from someone who's actually done this.
Thanks.

You can't delete an iTunes account, but you should be able to do option 1 e.g. change the primary email address on your friend's account (either via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com and 'manage your apple id') and then use that email address on your account

  • HT4897 I created an alias precisely because I wanted to make it the new default name and then quickly realized it wasn't possible. How long after deleting the alias will it become available again so that I can create a new account with it?

    I'm trying to make iCloud mail my primary email but I'm concerned that I may have lost the perfect email address forever.

    I have the same problem. After our wedding I've created an alias ([email protected]) to my actual AppleID Account ([email protected]). Now I'd the idea to delete the alias and my actual AppleID to create a new AppleID with ([email protected]).
    Is there really no possibilty to do this?
    Thanks in advance for quick and positive feedback.

  • Need to authorise new laptop after old one crashed.  Have 5 computers already authorised and cannot wait until July for 12 month "Deauthorise all computers" to become available again.  How can I authorise this new laptop?

    Hello... I need to authorise a new laptop after my old one completely died (before I could deauthorise it!!).  I have 5 computers already authorised and cannot wait until July for the 12 month "deauthorise all computers" option to become available again.  Does anyone know how can I authorise this new laptop as one of the 5, in place of the old one?  Any help gratefully received!

    Go to one of the authorized computers and de-authorize it individually.
    The one year limitation is ONLY for the de-authorize all option.

  • Will Project Budget be available again after settlement to AUC/final asset?

    I would like to know if my project budget will become available again once I settle costs to AUC and to Final asset (or settle directly to final asset w/o AUC). 
    Letu2019s say my original budget for WBS is 5000, cost was posted to the WBS u2013 4000, now I settle the 4000 cost to AUC (and eventually from AUC to final asset).  Will this mean the entire 5000 will be available again since the cost has been settled from WBS to AUC (and eventually fixed asset)?
    Thanks!
    Vivian

    If you have Budgeted WBS element and than after  you does any cost postings against that WBS. you budget get consumed by that actual cost.
    however, WBS element is capturing cost for the period of project duration that cost has to transfer to FI/ CO , finally so, at the period-end we does the settlement & transfer taht cost to cost center , PA , asset etc....
    So, no point that after settlement your budget will be your initial budget.

  • Problems with "Read" mail becoming "Unread" again

    Now that I have upgraded to Mountain Lion, I find my mail app acting odd. When I read an email, or when I select the entire contents of a folder and mark all the mail as "read", within a few minutes, random emails become "unread" again.
    Anyone else experiencing this and have you come up with any fixes?
    Thanks
    Gary Cascio

    Mail 2.x has always had these kind of problems with some IMAP servers. A few weeks before releasing the Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update, Apple made some changes to .Mac that caused these issues to happen there as well, and these forums were flooded with complaints from .Mac users about read messages being marked unread, and deleted messages being undeleted.
    If this was a non-Mac IMAP account, I would say there is nothing you can do about it other than switching to another mail client. But in you case there has to be something else going on.
    Try rebuilding the mailbox, i.e. select it and do Mailbox > Rebuild and see whether that makes a difference.

  • Time Machine does not see old Time Capsule backsups after change in network setting?

    Hi all,
    Just brought our TC to our summer home for the season and have a few issues.
    Instead of using it as our router, I added it to our existing AEBS network.  After doing this, all of our macs did not backup for a day or so.  Once I noticed this issue, I pointed them all back to the TC drive and backups have begun again.
    However, 8 months worth of backups are no longer accessible via Time Machine on any of the macs. The files are there on the TC disk and they sorta show up in Time Machine.  That is, they are showing up on the right hand side as dates and little lines, but these dates and little lines are dead links. (the equivalent of being greyed out and unavailable)
    Why did this happen when simply changing the TC network settings?  More importantly, how do I fix it so my older backups become available again?
    Thanks!
    Stu

    The grayed-out lines mean that whatever's in the Finder window wasn't backed-up on that particular backup.
    Try selecting your Computer name in the Finder sidebar (or pressing Shift+Cmd+C) before Entering Time Machine.  That will show one folder representing each the volumes (disks or partitions) currently connected.  Without changing anything on the Today (Now) window, click one of the backups in question.  That should show a folder for each volume that was included in that particular backup.

  • I changed my appleID and primary email and now I can not access iCloud. ICloud shows my old appleID but I can't change it. How do I get iCloud to work with my updated ID?

    I Changed my ISP and therefore changed my email address, which caused me to change my appleID.  I had no problems making the changes to my appleID but now I am having problems with iCloud. My old ID is still showing as my iCloud ID and I can not see where or how to change this. I keep getting an annoying pop up box to enter the password for my OLD appleID as well as error messages that I can't back up to iCloud.
    CAn someone please tell me how I can fix this so my iCloud works.
    THank you!!!!!

    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.

  • If I purchase a movie today without subtitles can I download again later if subtitles become available?

    There are a number of movies I'd like to purchase on the iTunes store right now (in the Portuguese store) but they are English only versions (no alternate audio versions of subtitles). So that's my question, If I purchase a movie today and later it becomes available on the store with additional language support (which I assume has to happen at some point, right?), does anyone know if I can I download it again to get the version with subtitles?
    Many thanks!
    David

    I'm not sure what you mean by "reproduce it", but movies you purchase from the iTunes Store never expire, any more than a DVD you purchase will expire. You'll be able to play the movie as long as you have a compatible playback device and have an active iTunes Store account so you can authorize any new devices you acquire. This if course presumes that the technology and authorization system Apple uses never change, something none of us can guarantee with absolute certainty.
    Regards.

  • I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?

    I'm a video editor working primarily in FCP7 and just purchased the latest Mac Pro running Yosemite ? Does anyone know if any options have become available for running FCP7 on this platform ?

    It would "run" (more like Sunday stroll or walk) if you installed Snow Leopard in a VM. Especially if you have 6-core (and would help to have 6 or 8 cores anyway if you were able to and intend to make best use of nMP for video editing).
    If you "classic" Mac Pro was 2009 or later, adding two AMD graphic cards, upgrading the processor to 8-core 3.xGHz would have gotten you a FCP-X capable machine and still dual boot and use Snow Leopard as needed.
    Any Mac Pro can now use 1000MB/sec SSD PCIe blade to boot from and/or for scratch and editing to help improve work flow.

  • How long does a podcast take to become available on itunes?

    How long does it take for a new episode to become available on itunes? I've got my second episode up and running through podomatic, but there is no sign of it on itunes. do i need to submit each one, or does it just take apple a while to update? my page is here https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/james-bests-podcast/id596009154

    When you add a new episode to your feed and upload it, it appears immediately for subscribers because their iTunes application reads the feed directly and the Store is not involved.
    However because of the huge number of podcasts in the Store (thousands) the Store caches the feed and checks it for updates periodically. For this reason it usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear in the Store: sometimes it can be less, and occasionally the whole process seems to get stuck and it can take several daycribings.
    Your second episode appears when subscribing and the Store should update in a day or two. You don't need to re-submit when you add an episode (indeed you can't) - just publish the feed, as you have done.

  • App Rejected because current issue does not become available

    I have had an App rejected twice by Apple for not having the current edition becoming available for download after the user purchases a subscription. See attached screenshot which was taken by the reviewer in Apple on their device. Also note there is no graphic tile in the Library view. App built using DPS Pro V 23.

    I'm assuming the problem to be the reason explained here in this documentation http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/subscription-fail-ios-renditions.html
