HT201248 My email address associated with my Apple ID on my iPad has been turned off from the ISp (U.S. army). I have a new gmail account with a new Apple ID. How do I get my iPad to use my gmail account?

Help. My old @us.army.mil email address was terminated by the army. I used that address to register my first apple id account on my iPad. I can't remember my original Apple ID number and if I ask to reset my password, Apple sends the reset link to my old non-working email address. I have a new gmail address and a new Apple ID number associated with that address. How do I get my iPad to use my new gmail address and new apple ID number? Remember, I can't log out of my old account because I can't remember the password. Amd Apple will only reset the password by sending a link to my old, non functioning army email account. ( I hate army webmail for canceling all retired military email accounts). John Marc

I recently updated my primary email address associated with my Apple ID account.
Now when I go to App store on my iPad it still tries to login to the App store using the old email address I had associated with the account, and naturally my password doesn't work. I can't figure out how to tell my iPad to login using the updated email address.
So in effect I'm locked out of the app store and I currently have 26 updates waiting.
I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting my IPad to iCloud with no luck.. However I cloud happens to show the correct/updated email address.
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks

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.

HT204161 How do I delete an email address associated with an apple id? And how do I deleted an apple id account?

How do I delete an email address associated with an apple id? And how do I deleted an apple id account?

Right, if the Apple ID is already set up, then you cannot change it to None until you put a credit card on the account.
If you set up a brand new Apple ID by first downloading a Free app, and then setting up the ID as a part of that process, then it can be None.
Here's the support article with the info on how to do it either way:
Why can’t I select None when I edit my payment information?

HT5622 Please verify the email address associated with your Apple ID.

Please verify the email address associated with your Apple ID.

Do you have a question ? If you've just created an account then you should have received an email to the email address that you used on it, which should have a 'verify' link on it, or you might be able to verify it by logging into it here : http://appleid.apple.com

HT204053 How to change the email address associated with my Apple ID?

I currently use yahoo, and want to delete that account. However it is the email address that is associated with my Apple ID. Is there a way to switch my apple ID to my new email address?

Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Log in: click 'Edit' next to the email address which forms your Apple ID and you can change it to another functioning non-Apple email address.

How do i delete the primary email address associated with my apple id?

My husband deleted the Outlook email account that was associated with my Apple ID as the primary email. I have two alternate emails also associated with the same Apple ID. How can I delete the old, Outlook email and use one of the alternates as a primary? I have tried to do this under "manage my account," but there is no option to delte the primary and select one of the alternates in its place.
I also cannot receive confirmation emails from Apple at the old, primary email address because it has been terminated. Other Apple help posts indicated this could be a problem, as I need that old account to receive emails pertaining to a switch.

If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

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.

Why can't I change my apple id / email address associated with my apple id ?

My apple id is associated with a gmail address.
I wan't to change it to something else.
So I went to: appleid.apple.com ---> Change apple id ---> Typed in new email address (everything shows green) ---> Hit Save.-->Edit box disappears as if everything went ok ----> But the box showing my apple id, still shows the gmail address!
It still shows my gmail address!! Doesn't send any verification email or anything! No matter what I do, it doesn't let me change it from my gmail address!
It let me change my password though, and also let me change my rescue email address.

Ask your question.updated to IOS 6.1. I cannot configure my iMessage properly with this version. Everytime it verifies the email addresses associated with my apple Id the page reverts back to the previous one with the sign in portion. What should I do?

Please assist with the iMessage configuration. My iMessage used to work with the previous version. With 6.1 I cannot configure iMessage properly. After I sign in using my apple id. It directs me to the next page with all the email add associated with the I. d. After confirming the email addresses it verifies then reverts back to the previous page with the sign in portion. What should I do?

How do you change the email address associated with your apple id

how do you change the email address used for your apple Id I have tried going on managing apple Id and it isn't working

Just where are you going?
and what do you see? A screen shot with personal info redacted would be great.
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

I'd really like to change my email address associated with my Apple ID. Is there a way I can submit a support ticket to get this done?

I already know I can setup an email alias or create a new account, but I've got so much invested into this Apple ID (iTunes, developer accounts, etc.) that redoing everything just isn't worth it.
Thanks in advance!

You can always contact Apple to talk with them about your situation, but i Doubt it since they have it spelled out already.
Source: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5621
Before you change your Apple ID:
Sign out of all Apple features and services that you use with your current Apple ID.
Make sure that the email address you want to use for your Apple ID meets these conditions:
The email address is one that you use regularly, because it will be the primary email address for your Apple ID.
The email address is not associated with any other Apple ID.
The email address is not an iCloud email address, which is already an Apple ID. iCloud email addresses end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
What you see when you create the Apple ID.

Good Luck!

Is there a way to change the icloud email address associated with your Apple ID?

I had an Apple ID long before iCloud came around. Naturally, my username was my email address, let's say [email protected] I signed up for an @me email address when they started just to try it out, but never used it. Either by default or by my own decision, my @me account became the same as my old email address: [email protected] Later, Apple issued the @icloud email addresses, so I now have: [email protected] as well. I want to set up a different icloud address, one that I would actually use, let's say [email protected] Then, I would like to associate that address with my Apple ID and delete the oldaddress@icloud address altogether. Can I do this and if so how?
Thanks for the advice.

Since your Apple ID is already associated with the current iCloud account (and the account cannot be delete, it can only be abandoned), you can't use it to create another. You would need to create a new Apple ID with a new non-Apple email address to create a new iCloud account. You can still use your current ID for everything else; the iCloud ID does not need to be the same as the ID you use for other services (iTunes, etc.).
You would then have to migrate your iCloud data to the new account and turn on your iCloud data syncing. When you turn Mail to On, you can create your new @icloud email address (but type carefully since once created it cannot be changed). You @me iCloud email address would remain associated with the iCloud account you are leaving but it sounds like you don't want to use it anyway. You can set up email forwarding to forwared email sent to your @me address to your new @icloud address while your contacts transition to your new address.
If that sounds like something you want to do, I can give you the steps to migrate your data to the new account.
