How do I change my alternate apple id from the old email address I no longer use? I am not given an edit option. Thx

How do I change my alternate apple id which is an old email address I no longer use? I am not given an edit option. This old email address has already been removed from alternate email options but does not want to leave the alternate ID position! Thx

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

  • I recently changed my email on my apple account but the old email address is displayed when I go into iTunes or App Store not allowing me in.

    I recently changed my email on my apple account but the old email address is displayed when I go into iTunes or App Store not allowing me to sign into my account. At some points it's a vicious circle because it asks for a password at key times when trying to correct the problem. Note that the new email address shows when I log into my Apple account and shows it was verified. For some reason the system isn't updating to the new email in ALL places.
    I hope this is the right place to post this. Thanks!

    Apple doesn't monitor here. Best we can do is to push you to contact Apple directly.

  • My iCloud account shows an old email address i no longer use even though I've updated my apple id with my new email information.  How do I get the old email account off my iCloud

    my iCloud account shows an old email address i no longer use even though I've updated my apple id with my new email information.  It keeps asking me my old password to the old email address which is NOT a valid email any longer.  I'm unable to manage my iCloud until this is resolved.  HELP

    If your Apple ID is the one that you use for making all of your purchases, it should, automatically appear in FaceTime already. How a no longer valid email address got there to begin with is a mystery to me, if in fact you do have, and have been using another Apple ID.
    Go to Settings>FaceTime>Apple ID. Tap the old email address and sign out, sign in with your Apple ID. It should be verified and allow you to select it as the address that you can be reached by for FaceTime.
    If that does not work, time FaceTime off, restart your iPad and then start all over again.

  • Had to change my Apple ID because the original email address is no longer valid.  How do I change the iCloud user name on iMac?  I found instructions about signing out of iCloud and signing back end.  It asks questions about contact, etc.

    Had to change Apple ID due to email address no longer valid.  Trying to change id for icloud...saw direction online about signing out of icloud and signing back in...when it ask questions about contacts, photos, etc. being deleted how do I answer those?  That just sort of freaks me out.

    For the ones that give you an option, select the option you want (keep on the Mac or Delete). For the ones that are simply warning you, click on Delete from Mac.
    They will all come back when you sign back on, since all you did was change your existing Apple ID to a new email address. It's the same iCloud account, just with a different name.
    It's the only way to get your updated ID signed onto iCloud.

    Hey lotuselise1968,
    Thanks for the question. The following resource may help to resolve your issue:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    - If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    - If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
              1. Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
              2. Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • 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 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?

    If you changed your Apple ID from the old email address (that is showing up) to a new one, but just forgot to update it on your iPhone, try these steps.
    1. Use your current Apple ID password
    Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
    2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    Sign out of iMessage or FaceTime:
    iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign back in to iMessage or FaceTime:
    iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
    FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
    You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
    If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    Sign in to iMessage or FaceTime:
    iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages, then tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage".
    FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, then tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime".
    You should now be able to sign out of iCloud. You will still see your previous Apple ID when signing out.
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

  • HT5621 How do you change your "Alternate Apple ID"?

    How do I change my "Alternate Apple ID?

    If you were a migratee from MobileMe then you would have an @me.com and an  @icloud.com address with the same text before the '@' - they are effectively the same address and you can't change either.
    However 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.
    More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

  • HT201342 how CAN I CHANGE MY "Alternate Apple ID"

    how CAN I CHANGE MY "Alternate Apple ID"?

    You are evidently both using the same iCloud account, so inevitably you share all the data. iCloud was never designed for mulpitple users. You can't separate [email protected] from [email protected] - they are effectively the same address.
    If you want to keep your email separate from your wife's you are going to have to open a completely separate iCloud account; however you won't be able to move your @icloud.com address to it, so it's a choice between changing your email address and putting up with the existing sharing.
    Changing your email address is a bit of a hassle as you have to email all your contacts and ask them to use the new one, but this happens quite a lot and most people are used to seeing this. You could also set up a Rule on your wife's iCloud account to forward anything addressed to [email protected] to your new address, so that you would still catch mail from people who hadn't updated and ask them to.
    (To set up a Rule go to http://icloud.com and on the Mail page click the cogwheel icon at bottom left: choose 'Rules'.)
