How do change the Apple ID to an email address that is current?

I used and Apple ID when i first started. I now no longer have access to that email address due to it's curruption. I would like to change it to a new and more secure one. Is there a way to do so?
thanks.

  • I had an apple ID which I used for iCloud.  I upgraded the iCloud account and changed the apple ID to a @me address. Now I can't view what was in my original apple ID account.  How can I get what was stored on the original account?

    I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • How to change the Apple ID on the mac Book Air

    Hi,
    I just changed my apple ID name.
    However, I found some difficulties in applying the new ID in my devices.
    The situation is like this:
    1. I can not find how to change the apple ID on my air. When there are updates available, I was asked to enter my password.
    However, the apple iD was the old one. I do not know how to change it.

    Continued:
    2. After changing the apple ID, I heard that all the softwares need to be re installed because they belong to the old ID.
    Is that true and is there any ways to avoid this.
    Thanks!

    I am in the same boat as all of you and have done lots of digging on this issue around the Apple Support Communities.  Over the past three days, I have spent 2 hours on the phone with Apple trying to get creative about how to get around this issue (delete all my accounts and start over, etc.).  Unfortunately, the bottom line message Apple gave me was this, "The ONLY way to use your @me as your primary email address is if you set it up that way at the very beginning.  If you use a different email as your first primary address, you can never switch to your @me account unless you go and create a NEW @me account and start from scratch that way."  So disappointed.

    Your music will only be where you put it. It does not magically appear in other places.  Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some coutries:

    I am having trouble with my Apple ID and AppStore
    Here are the steps I have taken and the results:
    Changed my Apple ID with new email address.
    Changed my iCloud with above new email address.
    NOW - Apple ID appears correct in AppStore Settings, iCloud and AppStore*
    If I scroll to bottom of screen in *App Store/Featured, I can see that the Apple ID is my new email.
    Upon “updating” Apple ID reflects OLD email.
    Deleted accounts, re-added accounts.
    Signed out and signed in with new UN/Email
    Issue remains the same.

    To migrate your data to a new iCloud account go to Settings>iCloud and turn off all synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.), when prompted choose to keep the data on your phone.  After everything is set to off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, create the new iCloud account on your phone and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc again.  If prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload your data to the new iCloud account.

  • My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If I try to add the email address that I now use (and which is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it.

    My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID"  I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?

    What are you having problems with ?
    This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id.

  • I can't change my Apple ID and Primary Email Address, there is no "edit" option

    I can't change my Apple ID and Primary Email Address, there is no "edit" option

    I am also curious about this.
    I want to stop using my hotmail account (which is also my Apple ID) and migrate to my icloud address for all my email.
    Why cant I use my icloud mail address as my Apple ID?
    Seems strange to be forced to use a hotmail address instead.

    Hey,  Thanks again for the help.  Everything is running smoothly now.

  • How to Change the Apple ID on an iPhone?

    I have two iPhones, and they are unfortunately using the same Apple ID. 
    Calendar and Contacts on the two iPhones are different, and they shall remain so. 
    How do I change the Apple ID on one of the iPhones (iPhone 5) without any resetting is done.
    I still very much need the data on that iPhone, therefore, the iPhone shall look the same after changing the Apple ID. 

    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > Sign out then sign in with the correct Apple ID.
