Got email address wrong, please DELETE
Hi there,
I mistakenly omitted a dot in the email address account when I created it. I'll create myself a new account with the right address, but in the meantime, can you please DELETE (rather than deactivate) this account
[email protected]
Now for some more general feedback ...
1. There is no closed-loop verification of an email address, which is a bit poor. This means that an attacker can maliciously sign a victim up for all sorts of goodies against their will. It also means it becomes possible to make the mistake I did.
2. Not being able to edit the email address ... Hmm, I think people out there are hurting
3. Not being able to delete your own account is a bit bizarre.
Closed loop verification means
1. The user signs up & supplies an email address.
2. The system generates a random code and puts it in an email to the alleged address (or puts the code into a link in an email).
3. The user must take a specific action (such as clicking the link or visiting a web page and supplying the code) to complete the registration process.
It proves that the user who requested the subscription/account controls the email address given.

My current Apple ID, for which all of my content has been downoaded (e.g., music, apps) is associated with a work email address that I will no longer have access to in the near future. In my Apple ID account, I noticed I had two alternate emails listed, one is my .me account and the other is my .gmail account. I use my .gmail account, and it is the primary email I use with friends and family. I noticed both were not verified, and when I tried to, it said they were both associated with other accounts. I was able to log into a separate Apple ID account I must have set up at tone point with my .gmail, and I changed the email address to a new one I created. I also deleted the gmail account from any other Apple-relted account I could think of. I am still gettgin the same error message when I try to add it to my current Apple ID: "This email address is already in use or you may already have an Apple ID associated with this email address. Please try again or sign in using your existing Apple ID."
My concern is this: with FaceTime and now iMessage, it seems more important than ever that I am able to use my correct email address. With iOS5 beta, I cannot enter either my .gmail or.me accounts under "You can be reached for messages at:" as I get an error stating: Unable to verify email because it is already in use."
How can I remedy this issue and assign my .gmail account to my Apple ID?Re: Cant verify Apple ID

I just spoke with a technician at Apple. I hsven't been able to verify because the wife has the phone. but he said all that you need to do is:
1) Go to Settings --> iTunes Store and login with your Apple ID and pwd
2) Go to Settings --> iCloud and login with your Apple ID and pwd
seems that the phone requires you to login to the store first... -
Accidentally spelt iCloud email address wrong!!!
i gave my iPhone 4 to my partner and when we were setting up the iCloud id we accidentally spelt the email address wrong. I've tried to delete the account when i do that at the end it says "this device is no longer eligible for a free iCloud ID" if i reset the phone will it erase that information?
You can't move an @icloud.com address to another account. What you can do is add her account to your device as a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, sign in with her ID and turn Mail on in this account. This will allow you to continue to access the existing address on your device. The only limitation of this is that email in this account will only be fetched periodically as push mail is not supported in secondary accounts.

So our school lets us use Macbook Airs for the school year, and it has facetime on it. I know facetime isn't blocked because like everyone else is using it. So I decide to give it a try. I click the icon, it says enter your apple ID. I dont have one, so I click to make one, and do so. I then enter my apple ID and click next. The screen reads "People will call you using your email address. What email address would you like to use?" I enter my email address in the box below the message, and then go to my email and click the link, and sign in, thus verifying the email. I go back to the facetime window, and click next. At the top it says Verified, but when I click next it doesn't go on to the next step, it simply blacks out the next button so that I can not click it, and after a few minutes a message comes up that says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
So that is the issue, please help!!!!!
*Note-I repeat that I know it is not blocked by the school because everyone else uses it just fine.*Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

I am trying to change my Apple ID. Try to do this I keep getting an error message saying ‘This email address is designated as your rescue email address and cannot be used as your Apple ID or Primary email address. Please choose another.’ The email address that I want to use did use to be my recovery email but I have changed it, so that address is no lonegr associated with my account. I do not understand why I cannot use it as my Apple ID now. Can anyone help?

my apple ID is showing someone elses email address and not mine so when i want to buy or update apps it brings this other email address up. please can someone help how do i put it back to my email address?
First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab. Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours. Did you let someone else use your iPhone? -

the apple ID that is associated with my itunes is no longer valid because the email address has been deleted,how can i update my info without my old email and password?
how is what blocked? the email address? or apple ID... As for the ID, its not bocked but when i entre the password it says... " Your Apple ID has been diabled for security reasons. to enable your account, reset your password on appleid.apple.com" which i did, after i have entred the apple ID, it gives me two options to either change my password by sending it to my email acccount used, first time i clicked use email to reset pasword. i then went to msn to long into that email and msn says that this account has been blocked due to the password being entred to many times to activsate this clcik link beloew and so i did, it then took me the security queastion and the alternative email used within that account is completly different to what put in when i first made that account 2 years ago, the security question to that email is in portugues/ spanish and im neither, so clarely someone has hacked into that email and blocked it... and this why i cant change the password for my apple ID..

Hello all!
I'm in a bit of a quandary. I have three email addresses, and I'm TRYING to pare down the number of addresses that I use. Thus, I am trying to change my Appple ID to one of those email addresses. Having said that, I tried to Change my Apple ID (which is an email address - one of the ones that I need to get rid of) to one email address that I constantly use. However, the screen tells me that the new address I wish to use, is my rescue email address, despite having deleted that rescue email address. What in the world can I do? I'm about sick and tired of Apple ID's.Ok I'm goin to call your old Apple ID #1 your new email you want to use #2 and another email #3.
- go to http://appleid.apple.com
- select manage your apple id
- sign into #2
- edit primary email and change it to #3
- save changes and sign out
Now
- sign into #1
- edit primary
- change it to the email that was used for #2
- save changes
- check #2's email inbox for verification email
- verify account
If done correctly you should be fine, also in terms of #3 that would be an email you have that you dont mind being an apple id that you wont use. Sorry for the funny way of explaining just thought it would be shorter to type out lol.
Note: Once changes have been made you must sign out of features such as iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, iTunes & App Store as they will still display the old Apple ID. Sign in with new email but same password as normal. -
HT201320 If I change my Apple ID email address will it delete my paid for apps, pictures etc
IF I change my Apple ID email address will it delete my apps that I paid for and my pictures etc?
If you update the email address on your existing account then you shouldn't lose anything (you may need to log out and back in for the update to take effect on the iPad). If you create a new account then all of your existing content will remain tied to your old account.

Hey,
Got a new Iphone, my icloud doesn´t work. How can I delete it and make a new one? The email address is wrong so I can´t varify it.
Can´t download apps, because it´s wrong. What can I do? Please help!Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can delete your account at settings > iCloud, scroll down and tap delete account. You can then enter details of any new account you create.
Note. The purchase of apps are done through an iTunes store account not your iCloud account. If you are having issues downloading apps, it isn't related to your iCloud account. -

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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")
