How can I change my email address if I can't log in?

Hi,
I have a valid Adobe account and password. (Not this one - I had to set up a dummy account just to get this far!)
When I try to log in, it appears the Account name and password are accepted, but the site says I have to reset my password using instructions emailed to me.
Problem: the email address to which the instructions have been sent is old and dead.
I can't log in until I get the email,
but I can't get the email until I update my email address
but I can't correct my email address until I can log in.
Can anyone help me with the catch-22 situation?
I tried Chat, and was told someone would get back to me in around 3 days, and that was over a week ago.
Thanks,
Rob

This has been resolved now.
My thanks to Jeffrey, Rinchin and other Adobe staff who helped sort this out.

When I attempt to download an app my email address isn't there, the other ipad users is there. How do I change the email address so I can enter my password?

When I attempt to download an app my email address isn't there, the other ipad users is there. How do I change the email address so I can enter my password?

Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores
At the top of the window you will see the Apple ID that the iPad is using. To change that tap on the ID and then tap on Sign Out. Then sign in with the correct ID.
Not really a good idea to be using two different Apple IDs on a single iPad.

You can't change an iCloud email address without setting up a new iCloud account. You can, however, set up an alias email address with a new name and use that instead and email sent to the alias address will appear in the same inbox as the account you are using now. This explains how to add an alias: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

Hello.
My BT Broadband account BT Internet emaill address is a different email address to my everyday BT Internet email address that I use to send from and receive emails in.
I don't send emails at all from my BT Broadband account email address.
Therefore when my BT Broadband Usage goes over 6GB and then 8GB, I am not aware of it unless I log into my BT.com account and check or log into my BT Broadband account btinternet.com email address as the advisory emails go into that address which I don't use for emailing from.
Is there any way I can have these advisory emails sent to my everyday BT Internet email address instead? Or even continue to be sent there and my main email address? Either by being able to do anything online or by contacting BT by phone or email and have them do it?
I did actually contact BT once before by emailing them and someone in India phoned me back to say they will do that for me but they've not done anything at all for me and the advisory emails still continue to go into my BT Broadband email address instead.
Could anyone tell me if switching the email address or adding an email address as to where these BT Broadband Usage emails are sent to is possible?
Hope it is and that you can tell me how this can be done with any helpful link or contact address/number without speaking to anyone in India.
Thanks.

Hi, I have the same problem, except that the advisory emails are being sent to a completely new email address which I never set up and which I can't access or login to. I didn't know about this until a bill arrived with a £5 charge for excess broadband usage, but I didn't know how to check it until now. I have now received an email (to my correct address) saying "Keep an eye on your usage" which has a link to an online monitor and to my horror I see that my usage has been well over the cap for some months. Yet I never received the advisory emails because I had no idea they were being sent to the unknown address. How can BT invent an email address and then use it to warn me? More to the point, how do I change that email address? I can't login to it because I don't know the password!
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Tony.

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that account. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

I created an Apple ID for iTunes using a work email address and left that company before I had an opportunity to change the email and password for that same account. Now I can't seem to login to that account and I can't choose the option for forgot password because it will send email to the old workplace. How do I change the email address to a new one that I can access?

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

How can I change my email address in iMessages so that I can receive messages. My apple seems to have two different email identities and I cannot figure out how to change the wrong one.

My email address in the imessage part of my ipad is incorrect. How can I change the email address to conform with the email address on the rest of my apple products? I can get messages on my iphone, mac but not on my ipad because of the incorrect address.

Go on to settings> Messages > send and receive
this should give you the opportunity to edit email adressed
Hope it helps.

Hey Sblan2,
According to the following document, you are unable to change the iCloud email address.

When my iPhone updated, it reloaded an old email address as my iCloud address and I don't know the password associated with that email address. How do I delete the old account and set up a new one with my new email?
To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

You should be able to change your e-mail address from your provider ... then edit it to meet the Apple requirements. Unfortunately you've given us no profile details so we can't tell what device you have.

It appears I have a similar email address to someone and we keep receiving each others mail - so how can I change my email address?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account, and if it has @mac.com or @me.com versions these cannot be reinstated once deleted.
More information on aliases here:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
However all this won't stop you receiving emails at the primary address: but you can set up a Rule to move all such messages to the Trash. Go to the Mail page at http://icloud.com and click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left: choose 'Rules'.

Call the tech support for the provider of your old email. They will be able to change the password for you or if they can't they will shut the account down so that spammer is not able to use it.
