How can I change my email address/make a new one?

I'm getting up there in age, lol, and I'd like to change my e-mail address (that I made when I was 15) to something more professional.  I've been up and down through mac.com and other blog websites, and I can't find anything on the subject of either opening a new account and closing my current one, or just simply changing my current one.  Any help will be appreciated!!!

The Following is for changing the email associated with your Apple ID not an @me email.
Go here: http://appleid.apple.com
Click on 'Manage Account' - It's a link below the big blue 'Create Account' button.
Sign in and you'll see an edit button next to you're email.
Alternately you can sign into itunes and change it in itunes.
Open itunes > Store > View My Account > Apple Id Summary - Apple ID > Edit
Be aware that you can only associate a device with a different Apple ID once every 90 days.
WARNING- if you are using icloud.
I changed my email and I can't figure out how to change it on my mac or on my iphone without deleting my Documents, Calendars, etc.. that I've sent to icloud.
In theory you should be able to sign out and delete the accounts and create a new one but when I go to sign out it warns me that all the data (except contacts) that I've sent to icloud will be removed from my computer/device. You should be able to redownload it once you sign back in under the new email but it just seems ludicrous and a waste of time to delete all my data from my computer just to download it again.
There may be a solution to this dilemma but I do not know what it is.
Hope that helps.

  • 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!

    You won't be able to change the rescue email address on your acocunt until you can answer two of your questions, if you don't recognise the address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

    I'm not entirely sure what you are asking, but all apps are tied to the account that you bought/downloaded them with, and if you are trying to make an in-app purchase in that app then you will only be able to do so with that account

    How can I change my email address on iCloud?

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

    However, one option you have would be to create an email alias:

    If you mean for your email account in the mail app, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Delete Account. Then tap Add Account and enter the new information.
    I get the feeling that you are really asking about something else.

    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.

    Seen this question before but no answer, how can I change my email address from all caps into a more proper upper-lower style.

    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.

  • HT4436 How can I change my email address? Help?

    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'.

    How can I change my email address?

    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.

    How can i change my email address on my mac book air email that has already been on the mac book air to my new email as my old email address has been hacked and it will not let me change it

    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.

    How can I change my email address on icloud, I have already changed it on my apple id, but it still is asking for lmy old email and password and I can not back up or anything?

    Hello RousePryor
    If the iCloud account ends with an @icloud.com, then that is something that you cannot change it. If that is not the case, then you will need to sign out and may need to change it back to the old Apple ID to do so.
