Hi streetbob,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you are looking to change or update the information associated with your Apple ID, such as your email address, you may find the following article helpful:

    That is only present if you have already updated to iOS 5 or later.  If you're on iOS 4 you can only update while connected to your computer's iTunes.

    You can't access iCloud from your iPhone unless you're on iOS 5 or later.  Otherwise, refer to this article:

    I can't play music purchased with my old Email address on my new nano. Itunes continually refers me back to the old non existent address.

    Use Safari and you will probably not have the same problem.

  • How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

    How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini? 
    On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address.  Both are through the one exchange account without a problem.  I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

    Ah, I should have made that clear.  My domain didn't come from google.  It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail.  I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
    Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such).  Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender.  I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

  • When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can use my ID, which is in Mail, Contacts etc. The ID I get, I can't find, so that I can delete it. What to do?

    When I try to buy something, I get an Apple-ID which is not the one I want to use, and I don't know how to get rid of it either, so that I can replace it with my ID in Mail, contacts etc. The ID I get without wanting it, I can't find anywhere. I have to delete it. How do I solve this problem, anyone?

    My content was obtained through another ID, which popped up earlier. Now this one doesn't pop up, and my current ID doesn't pop up either, but another one. How do you find an ID which is not in the store, and not in Mail, contacts etc. either?
    Or is it possible to write the ID yourself when you want to buy something, not only to have it popped up being unable to be changed?

  • Want to change the email address I used to setup Icloud initiatally.  Can I do that? If I change apple ID do I lose all information in Icloud now?

    want to change the email address I used to setup Icloud initiatally.  Can I do that? If I change apple ID do I lose all information in Icloud now?

    You can change the login ID address, provided that it is not an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address. You will need to sign out on all your computers/devices and sign back in again with the new ID.
    However, 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).
    All is not lost, though. 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, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
    More information on aliases here:

  • How do I use my iCloud vacation responder for all of my email addresses that feed into my iCloud account?

    I have 3 email addresses that feed email into my iCloud account. I am going on vacation and would like my auto-responded to reply to ALL of the incoming emails in my account.
    When I test the vacation preference, it only automatically replies to me @me or @icloud emails.
    Please help

    Alternatively most email providers allow you to set forwarding, so you could forward messages to the iCloud address, remembering to undo the forwarding when you get back. There is usually an option to leave the messages on the server as well, and I should take that.
    Of course the vacation response will come from the iCloud address, which might confuse your recipients, but it's a workable alternative if the other email accounts don't provide a vacation response.

  • How do I delete my email address that is paired with my Droid and replace it with another email address?   thanks!

    How do I delete the email address that Veriozon Wireless rep paired with my Droid and replace it with a different address?

    The easiest way would be to go to menu>settings>accounts & sync, select the account (I'm assuming you're referring to your gmail account, so select google), then press the remove account button at the bottom.  You may lose all your contacts and other data associated with your google account, possibly even your apps, so be aware of this beforehand.  You can then add the new account from the accounts & sync menu. 
    If you are willing to completely start over with your phone, another alternative would be to factory reset it (menu>settings>privacy>factory data reset).  This will return your phone to an out-of-the-box condition, and you can use a different gmail address if you like.

    My iTunes account is under my @yahoo email address and I became accustomed to my @Me email and now like the idea of the @iCloud email address that was made. My questions are....can I change my iTunes account to my @iCloud name without instead of my @yahoo name without losing my years snd years of purchases ? Can I also create an @Mac address ? ....or is my @yahoo and my @iCloud already recognized as the same by apple and my purchases would already be fine as well as restoring my devices ?

    Your purchases are permanently tied to the Apple ID (account) used to purchase them.  They can't be moved to another account and you can merge accounts.  You can start making new purchases with your iCloud ID if you want, but you will end up with two sets of purchases under two different IDs, adding further complication to your life.
    Also, your @icloud email address is an alias of your existing @me address; emails sent to either address will be routed to the same inbox.  You can decide which one you want to use as your default (as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5441) but you can't separate them.

  • How to get rid of an Apple ID that does not belong to me

    I purchased a 6 plus.  I know and frequently use my apple ID and password as well as my I cloud ID and password.  I set up my new phone with no problem but I noticed something strange.  I kept getting a pop up with an apple ID prefilled waiting for a password.  The apple ID prefilled is a s b c global email address and it does not belong to me or anyone on my accounts.  I had six songs waiting for download and the only way to get them to go away is to remove this mysterious ID and change it to my own with my password.  The songs instantly disappear and I have nothing to download.  I would say no problem but this ID keeps resurfacing along with the 6 songs needing downloading.  I have now tried to purchase 3 Tones through ITunes with my apple ID and will download them and am charged for them but they disappear after 1 day and the mysterious ID pops back up.  This ID appears to be blocking me from downloading my purchases or being able to retain them once downloaded.  How do I completely disassociate this ID with my phone and my ITunes account? I would like to add that it is popping up and doing the same thing to my husbands new iPhone 6 as well.

  • How to get rid of an unwanted site that is malicious

    Want to get rid of a malicious web site.

    Apparently you have the "funmoods Toolbar" on your system.
    The first step is to remove it using the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features > funmoods Toolbar > Remove.
    The next step is to restart Firefox and clear it from wherever it has embedded itself. This may take several steps. Some people get frustrated with the details and use the Reset feature. Since you can lose some settings that way, you might want to try the step-by-step approach first.
    (1) Remove or at least disable all related add-ons. These generally can be found here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
    If it isn't obvious which extension is responsible, disable all the ones that are not essential to your use of Firefox. Then restart the browser using one of the restart links.
    (2) Reset your home page if that has been switched. You can choose a new home page here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General
    (3) Reset your searches back to the default (Google). The simplest way to do this is using the SearchReset extension:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    (4) If you are getting Funmoods in a new tab, you can reset that. Here's how, a quick detour into the plumbing:
    (A) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (B) In the filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (C) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
    ''(i) Page thumbnails (default)''
    browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
    ''(ii) Blank tab''
    browser.newtab.url = about:blank
    ''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page''
    browser.newtab.url = about:home
    ''(iv) Any other page''
    browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
    Solved? If not, please describe the remaining problem areas.
    The Reset feature duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
    Hope this helps.
