How can i change my primary email adress from @me to icloud? atm it is only alternative

Hello, At the moment im using the new icloud for everything but my primary alias is still @me.com is there a way to change it perminatley to icloud? and use  the @me as the alternative?
Cheers.

You will need to remove it as your rescue email : log into your account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, select the 'Password And Security' section on your account's screen, and answer the two security questions that show - you should then be taken to another screen where you can change or remove your rescue email address.
Then try logging out of your account and then log back in and see if you can then use it as your primary email address.

    Hi Lior, 
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    It sounds like you need to change the primary email address associated with your Apple ID. 
    You can use these steps to change your Apple ID to your new email address:
    In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. You can change your Apple ID to any other email address you control, as long as it's not already being used and doesn't end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
    Use these steps to reset your Apple ID:
    Sign out of iCloud, the iTunes Store, App Store, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Find My iPhone, and iMessage on each device that uses your current Apple ID for these services.
    Go to My Apple ID.
    Select Manage your Apple ID and sign in. Forgot your password?
    Select Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
    Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID, then select Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
    Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now. Didn't receive the email?
    When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your new Apple ID email address and password. When you see a message that verification is complete, you can start using your updated Apple ID.
    Remember to update the features and services that you use with Apple ID.
    From:
    Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
    All the best,

  • HT5787 How can I change an old email to a new one? For some reason my old email comes up on my iPhone - and I don't get access to change to my new email which I have on my iCloud account on my pc. My AppleID works on my pc, but not on my iPhone!

    How can I change an old email adress on my iCloud accout to my new email (the same as on my pc), as long as my Apple ID works on my pc but not on my iPhone?

    You would have to change it back to your old email address in order to turn off "Find My iPhone" on your devices. After you changed it back to your old address and deactivated "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) you could change your Apple ID to your new address again. Now it should wok on all your devices.

    You should be able to log into the account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com and put a proper primary email address on the account ; or you can do it by logging into the account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes.

  • I am trying to change my primary email address for it has been compromised. the email address I am trying to change it to is my rescue email address? how do I change my primary email address?

    I am trying to change my primary address for it has been compromised. The email address I am trying to change it to is my "rescue" email address. How do I change my primary email address to my rescue email address? can I delete my rescue email address so I can use it as my primary?

    You will have to delete your rescue email address first, then go back and change your primary.
    Source: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5312
    You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
    Navigate to My Apple ID using your web browser.
    Click "Manage your account"
    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    Click Password & Security
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 

  • HT5312 how can i change my rescue email?

    How can iI change my rescue email? My original apple id email is no longer valid and I would like to change my apple id to what is currently my rescue email. I have a secondary email that I can change to my rescue email. However, because I could not designate my primary email as my apple id, my current secondary email is my apple id. Please help.

    Sign in to manage apple ID
    Go to "Password and security"
    ---> at this point you may be able to change your rescue email address
    ---> you may need to answer security questions and THEN be able to
    Alt strategy -- 
    This is what I actually did when I needed to change my rescue email. However, it is clear that the above strategies would now work for me.
    I needed to change my rescue email b/c I wanted that email to be my primary email/appleID.  The rescue email and primary cannot be the same for some reason. When I needed to do it, I forgot the answer to one of my security questions so was forced to click "Send reset security info email to •••••@***.com." This sent an email to my rescue email address -- so if you cannot access your rescue, this alt strategy will not work.
    When I clicked the link sent, something went wrong and aple could not bring me to that page. However, when I looked back in the browser tab where I was managing my AppleID, the page/environment for "Password and security" changed. All that was there was something to click that said "Reset .....". This brought me to a page to change all 'password and security' related issues including my rescue email address.
    Summary of Alt:
    Sign in to manage apple ID
    Go to "Password and security"
    click "Send reset security info email to •••••@***.com."
    --> may have to go to rescue email address and follow instructions there and it may work
    --> could be you only have to renew the 'password and settings' page to see new option to click "Reset...."
    --------> This latter step was available to me after clicking link in rescue email

  • HT1918 How can I change my rescue email. I am trying to change my email for my Apple account because I can no longer access the email on the account. My only email I use is my rescue email and it will not allow me to change my Apple ID email to my rescue

    How can I change my rescue email or get rid of it? I need to change my email under my apple ID to the email that is my rescue email. It won't allow me to have the same email. I only have one email address and can no longer access the email address under my apple ID

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc.

  • TS2972 How can I change my HomeSharing email address info on my Apple TV?

    How can I change my HomeSharing email address info on my Apple TV? I updated to a new email address through iTunes but now Apple TV won't recognize it and won't connect. Please help! Thanks.

    This is the first time I have ever replied to a question on here but I actually know this because I just figured it out for myself.
    On the apple tv go to settings>computers
    Then turn off home sharing.
    Now go back to the main menu and open computers.
    When you do it will give the option to use the previous home sharing settings or to use a new apple id.

  • How can I change my Skype email notifications to E...

    My email notifications from Skype are received in Spanish, apparently because I live in a Spanish-speaking country (Panama).  Since I do not speak nor read Spanish, it would be greatly appreciated if these notifications could instead come in English.  My account is set up with English as the language and Skype works just fine that way.  The problem is that whenever I receive a notice via email from Skype, it is in Spanish.  Is there a way to change that?

    I will try writing Customer Service, thanks for the idea.  I'd like to reply to the following message which came to my email address, but has yet to show up here, to say that there does not appear to be any option regarding "language" in the Subscriptions & Bookmarks section.
