Found an Option to Change Email of Apple ID in iTunes Store....

Hello,
I found an option to change the primary email address of my Apple ID in the iTunes Store.
Here's how...
iTunes.app > Account > Apple ID Summary > Apple ID > Edit
Here is a screen cap of the screen where you can change the email:
Now my question is, what are the consequences of changing my email address for my Apple ID? I have been wanting to do this for quite some time now and just found this option about 10 minutes ago. If I were to go forth with this, what would happen to my purchases... apps, music, movies, TV shows, books...
Also, what would happen to the @me.com email address in the iCloud that's associated/connected to my original @gmail.com Apple ID that I actually would like to replace with an @me.com address.
Knowledge and advice would be much appreciated!
Marcus

As far as I know changing the primary adress will not affect any purchases. Since it is the primary email, it should change any other Apple related accounts, eg: Game Center, iMessage, FaceTime.
Try searching the Apple Support website for more information under the iTunes section.

I can't see the option NONE when I try to review my apple id on iTunes store

Tried tto review my apple id on itunes store and i cant see the billing option NONE in there so i cant dl free apps...

Did you follow the instructions on that page that I linked to ? I've just tried it and it worked ok for me, I got the 'none' option and have been able to download a free app with it.
e.g. on my computer's iTunes I signed out of my existing account, found a free app in the store and clicked on its free 'price' :
Clicked on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
Agreed to the terms, filled in my details, and got 'none' as a payment option :
After clicking on the verification email I was then able to download a free app. Are they the steps that you used to create the account ?

Settings > iTunes & App store.
Tap AppleID, sign out then sign back in.
The Apple ID is right everywhere else. I've synced the phone. I've reset it in Settings on the phone. I've changed it at Apple.
When you write, "I've changed it at Apple, this means you updated yoru old AppleID or you ceated a new AppleID?

I need to update my apps in the App Store, but when i try to update, the Sign Up Apple ID pop up box came out with different Apple ID. How can I change it to mine? My iTunes Store already login with my own Apple ID.

Just now you said the other Apple ID stored inside it, is that mean all my data back up in that the other ID?

What is being done about users inability to use their Apple ID at iTunes Store. I do not have another Apple ID, I do not want to change my password and I want my phone to work as it should.

You can try signing out and signing back in. You can also go into Settings > Safari and Clear all Cookies. You can even try logging into the iTunes Store on a computer and downloading a free app or something.
If none of those work, then you will have to wait for the issue to be resolved on Apple's end.

(I tried deleting itunes and re-installing it but apparently itunes was still on my computer so it asked me if I wanted to just check and see if there were any issues or missing software, so I did that but i still had the same problem.)

Hi jbserious,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
It doesn't sound like the iTunes software and its components installed completely. The article below will walk you through some troubleshooting steps. Is this your first time using iTunes, or do you have an iTunes library from another computer that you want to move to this one?

Purchase of email gift certificate in the iTunes store - having problems?

I tried for 15 min. to figure out how to buy an email gift certificate from the iTunes store via my Mac. I read the HELP instructions and they did not corespond with what was on my screen (and Apple presented no pictures to illustrate and use to match). Problem was this - beware - especially with the holiday shopping coming... you might end up frustrated by this too:
If your iTunes home page is displaying via their "Just for You" personalized feature, it won't display the buy a gift certificate, etc. commands. So - turn off that "Just for You" stuff. The screen will refresh and present you with access to those purchase commands. Funky funky... both the instructions and the interface.
Lastly, right now the purchasing engine ain't working at all. I tried to make a purchase there and the display just kept saying that there's a problem at their server level or something like that and to try again later.
Like I said, funky...

I have PayPal set up for purchases. I ordered the egift for email delivery to my self and keep getting the message that the purchase did not go through, contact support. I contacted them and they told me they had fixed the problem so I tried many times again and got same message. I do nto understand why there is always some problem with Itunes. Seldom is it a smooth process. This is the only account I have with constant problems.

Authorize the computer from the "Store" menu. You will have to use the Apple ID used to purchase the music.
