Help with email address please and iTunes account

I have had a iTunes Account now for the last 4 years maybe more and I have a iTunes account that I used my email address which I have had for over 10 years, I I done the iPhone update for a iPhone 4 and it was telling me my password was incorrect it was also saying the same for my ipad4. I have tried and tried to recover my password from hotmail with NO luck what so ever the form comes back saying not enough info when I have filled in every question. I am going to have to make a new email address but can I chance my email and keep my same iTunes account or do I also need to make a new iTunes account? Thanks
Any help would be great 

I would not create a new Apple ID as this will cause lots of confusion when you try to update the apps you've already purchased. Go to this Apple support page for Managing Your Apple ID and sign in, then search for how to change your email address. If you can't get it done contact Apple Support.

    Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
    All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
    To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.

  • How do I update my ipod touch with my  new email address for my  itunes account?

    How do I update my ipod touch with my new email address for my itunes account?  I recently changed my email address and updated it on my itunes account but now my ipod keeps asking me for the password associated with my old email address.

  • Issues with multiple apple IDs and iTunes accounts

    I work in an office that is all mac based and have mac computers at home.  I have an apple ID and iTunes account for personal use where I purchase books and music and I have an office apple ID and iTunes account to share calendars with colleagues using iCloud and purchase work related apps like upgrades to operating systems, etc. 
    I have an iPhone that is set up with my personal apple ID so that my music is on my phone and so that the photo streaming is attached to personal photos, etc.  Is there a way to sync my personal contacts with my contacts that are registered with my professional apple ID?  Ideally, I would like to have my iOS devices syncing my calendar and contacts with my work apple ID and my music and photos with my personal ID.  Is there any hope or am I stuck?
    Thanks for any help anyone might have...

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    So far as contacts and calendars go, you can share your works data and your personal data with your iOS device by entering the second account as a secondary account in settings > mail, contacts and calendars.
    You should also be aware that your iCloud and iTunes accounts and different accounts, you do not have to use the same ID for both.

  • HT1918 Why can't I use my icloud email address for my iTunes account

    Tired of the cox communications inability to imap emails, going to dump it completely want to use the icloud email address I have, why can't I change my apple id to that email address

    "Well, then I want to be able to merge that one and the one my purchases are on..."
    This is exactly what I want to do but don't think I can:
    I noticed the following :
    If you attempt to create an Apple ID which is the same as your @icloud email address from the online facility, it does not allow you (can't use an Apple associated email address as your Apple ID). However - if you start a fresh device - such as a new iPhone, iPad (must be mobile it seems), and then create an iCloud account and Apple ID from the prompts when setting up the mobile device, it IS possible to have your Apple ID and @iCloud email address as the same. I know because I just did it!
    Unfortunately for me, the result I got above is not for one of my own ID's but a friends, and I would VERY much like to do the same - my current Apple ID is a completely different email address from my iCloud account. Trying to get them the same in my situation is a major bother - I think that if I wipe a device (such as an iPhone5 that is mine) and try to setup as I did my friend's device, then I will get a conflict because the iCloud email I have ALREADY exists. This is my worry and I will not attempt this until I get the new iPad 4 soon to test this.
    There is an inconsistency here between the two methods of creating Apple ID's and iCloud accounts.
    Overall in my opinion, the Apple ID system as currently available from Apple is not designed very well, and should be addressed.
    Best wishes -

  • Help!  I no longer have the email address for my itunes account and cannot verify Apple ID

    I am trying to log into my itunes account and it tells me I need to verify my account by logging into my email.  My AppleID is an old email account that I can no longer access.  I want to log in to itunes to update my email account on file, but when I try to log in it says I need to verify my account.  I'm stuck.  Does this mean I can no longer access the money I have on my itunes account since it doesn't let me sign in without verifying?
    Frustrating!

  • What happens to VPN , Wifi settings and Email accounts on iPad if synced with a new computer and itunes account?

    I have an Ipad with VPN,Wifi connections and email accounts already created . Now I want to sync it with another computer using a new account as this device is to be given to someone else. I want to know what will happen to the settings already made as I do not want them to change ?. Deletion of Apps and other media files is ok but the settings like VPN,Email account and Wi Fi shoudl not be reset.

    Wickedweapon-
    Pre-installed Apps such as Mail, Camera, Photo Booth, Notes, et cetera, are kept.  Any iOS updates are retained.  Otherwise, the iPad is returned to its factory default settings.
    If you planned to sell an iPad, you might go ahead and do the reset manually.  Go to Settings-General-Reset-Erase All Content and Settings.  Doing this would ensure that any sensitive personal data is erased.

  • Is there a way to transfer an email address on my iTunes account to new iTunes account?

    I just bought a new iPhone 5C for my daughter.  Up until now she has had an iPod touch and so I set her up with an email address that is linked to my iTunes account.  That way she has been able to share my apps etc.  Now that she has her own phone I'd like to set her up with her own account.  Right now her email address is listed under my iTunes account.  Can I change that when I create her her own?

    Hi cioTA,
    An email address that is associated with another Apple ID can not be used to make another Apple ID. In order to use it as an Apple ID you would have to remove it from yours. See this article -

  • Old email address to new itunes account

    have new iphone and want to set up new itunes account using old email address that is linked to home itunes account - how do I change so I can still use my old email address and set up new itunes account? thanks!

  • I want to use a different email address for my iTunes account.

    My Apple ID is tied to my old email address at Comcast. I no longer have Comcast. I am told that I can't change this. If I create a new account using my me.com address how do I export/import all of my music and apps that were bought under the old ID? This sounds like it would be a pain

    You can set up an email address for your husband by following this guide.
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44610
    Unless you either use different web browsers, ie you use Chrome browser and your husband uses Internet Explorer or you both have different Windows users accounts on your computer you can not have different homepages as such.
    The work around would be to set your browser to open with two tabs, one being your homepage and the other being your husbands home page. I don't use Chrome so I am not sure exactly how you would do that but it would be similar to open your home page then in a seperate tab open your husbands then got to tools in the browser menu and find the setting "set as home page" and save it.

  • Need help with Mail address book and calendar.

    Hello,
    I am a new Mac User. I just purchased my first MacBook. My goal is to switch totally over to Mac for both home and work. I was able to get the mail program to pull down my exchange mail, however it does not appear to have taken in my address book.
    My goal would be for my machine to totally sync up with my mail, and calendar the same way that my iPhone does. Is there a way to do this?
    If I can't get my contacts and calendar to "sync". I will not be able to use my Mac at work.
    Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Jason

    I do not believe you can sync your data between Outlook and Address Book and iCal. You can transfer data using a third-party utility, Outlook2Mac. However, you could integrate with your Outlook account using Entourage, one of the Office 2008 applications. You would have to purchase Microsoft Office 2008.

  • How can I change my email address on my Itunes account if the old email address has been closed down?

    Hi, my brother is struggling to log in to his itunes account. He has been using an old email address but not actually logged into his email account for quite a while. All of a sudden he hasn't been able to sign in to itunes. He has been trying to change over the email address but it looks like the old email address account has been deleted. Any ideas he can go around this to change it over?

    Hello amy_c22,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what I understand is that your brother no longer has access to the email being used for the Apple ID.  He will be able to change his Apple ID if you follow the instructions in the article below:
