How can I change my primary apple id to a new email address?

I have an apple id that is linked to an email address that will be changing? I would somehow like to change my primary address so that I can still access my apple id via an email address that isn't an me.com account. Also, I had other apple id accounts like to different email addresses that I would now like merged together with my current apple id. Is that possible?

How can I change my iCloud apple id to a different email address?

I followed the directions in apple id support, but when I go to myappleid on my iMac, it already has my mobileme email address and no "edit" button to change it. I don't want it as my primary email. My iPhone is set up with the email account I use most, so now I have two iCloud accounts by accident. Can anyone help me straighten this out?

HT1414 How do I change my original Apple ID to my new email address? I have changed it but when I go to the App Store, the old id keeps coming up and I no longer have a password for it. Therefore I can't download anything.

I have tried to change my Apple ID and was successful but when I go to the App Store my Apple ID appears as the old one. I no longer have a password for it. Now I can't download anything. What do I do?

Your apps were purchased under the old ID, so they will have to be deleted and re-purchased/downloaded under your new one.

How can I change my primary Apple ID email to my new iCloud @me address?

I just updated to iOS 5 on my iPod touch and signed up for iCloud. I have a new @me email address. I want to make it the primary email address for my Apple ID, but when I type it into the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address" field, it tells me that I cannot use a MobileMe account for my Apple ID. It is not a MobileMe account, and I have never had MobileMe. I know that the email works with my Apple ID, since I can log into my account with it. How can I make it the primary email address?

While you can't currently change your Apple ID to a Mobile/iCloud email address, I found a solution that helps with a related problem.
Suppose you've recently got an iCloud email address, but Apple are still sending all your iTunes Store, App Store and Mac App Store receipts to your old gmail address (the one that's still your Apple ID). And suppose they're also sending all the Apple Support Communities notifcation emails to your old gmail address. How do you change it? How do you fix it?
Well the option exists, but it is hidden away in a weird place. To get Apple sending all of their receipts and notifications to your new iCloud email address...
• Go to your country's Apple Store website http://store.apple.com/
• Click on the Account button in the top-right corner
• Under Account Settings, click on Change your default shipping or billing info
• Sign in with your usual Apple ID and password
• The email address listed under Payment Information is the key
• Click on Edit next to Payment Information and change that email address to your iCloud address
That's all you have to do.

HT201251 How can I change the primary Apple ID on my computer?

I would like to change my primary Apple ID so that all my devices are on the same ID. Is this possible?

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")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

I changed my email Adress for my Apple ID. How can I sign out of iCloud and put my new email address in for my Apple ID in iCloud?

I changed the email address for my Apple ID and so how can I chAnge it to my new email Adress on my iCloud?

You should have done it the other way arround. You should have started with signing out, before you changed your email. I would suggest to follow these steps...
1. change your email address back to the old one
2. delete your iCloud account from all your devices (especially turn off "Find My iPhone")
3. change your email to your new email address aigain
4. add your iCloud account again

How can I change my primary apple id for my mac

I am just setting up my new mac and I accidentally put the wrong email for my apple id and now it is set as my primary id for my computer. I have an old email that my apple id was originally connected to. All of my files and music are synced to that id. I tried to change the email to the one I accidentally entered thinking it would be a quick fix, but when I did that in mac set up it was like setting up a new id all together. ( so now that email is taken) How can I fix this to where I can connect this computer to my old apple id and get rid of the the id its associated with now?
Thank you!

I have an older generation of Ipod and I am trying to upload all my songs from my old Ipod to my new Itunes account. How can I change my old Apple ID to my new one so I can keep all my songs without having to buy or hunt for them all over again?

Please help I am having the hardest time trying to get all my songs on to one account to make my life easier, but my Ipod is registered under an old apple account and I want to change it so all my old songs go onto my new apple ID. Any suggestions, please help?

Sorry meffie, you cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. Are the songs under the old ID all purchased via iTunes?
If so, then sign onto the iTunes on the computer with your old ID and Authorize the computer for that Apple ID: Store on the top menu, then click on Authorize This Computer.
Once it is Authorized, you can then go to the iTunes Store and under Quick Links on the right-hand side, click on Purchased. Then click on Music, Songs, Not In this Library, and you should be able to see all of your purchased music, which you can download to your iTunes library individually by clicking on the cloud next to the song, or you can click on Download All at the bottom of the screen to download all of the tunes.
Cheers,
GB
