  • How can I change my email address on my Itunes account if the old email address has been closed down?

    Hi, my brother is struggling to log in to his itunes account. He has been using an old email address but not actually logged into his email account for quite a while. All of a sudden he hasn't been able to sign in to itunes. He has been trying to change over the email address but it looks like the old email address account has been deleted. Any ideas he can go around this to change it over?

    Hello amy_c22,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what I understand is that your brother no longer has access to the email being used for the Apple ID.  He will be able to change his Apple ID if you follow the instructions in the article below:

  • Can not verify apple id. The email on my itunes account is no longer good. How do i change my email in my current itunes account?

    can not verify apple id. The email on my itunes account is no longer good.

    You can change it.  At the top of iTunes, click Store > View My Account, log in with your password, View Account.  To the right of your Apple ID click the word Edit, and it will take you to a page where you can edit your email address.
    You are right to avoid creating a new account if at all possible, since having multiple accounts usually causes complications down the line.

    Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup iCloud with your new ID.
    You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it.

  • How can I change the email associated with my forum account?

    How can I change the email associated with my forum account?  I didn't provide my work email to you, but you put it in my account.  My forum postings have nothing to do with my personal PC at home.  There isn't an option to update it.

    Hi:
    Log in and click on your user name, then look at the upper the right side of the page.
    Click on the triangle to the left of the "More Resources" section.
    This will drop down, and give you options.
    Select User Settings.
    This will now open a page, and in the light blue type on top, follow it along to Contact Information, click on that, and change your e-mail address to what you want, and hit the blue submit button on the bottom right side of the page.

    Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
    All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
    To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.

  • I've been offered an iPad and it comes with my friend's account. How can i change it to have my own iTunes account on it?

    I've been offered an iPad and it comes with my friend's account. How can i change it to have my own iTunes account on it?

    First of all have your friend restore the iPad as a new device and wipe it clean for you. Or on the iPad go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings and this will erase everything from the iPad.
    You can create your own iTunes account on your computer or on the iPad. Read this.

  • HT201356 How can I change my EMail adress on iCloud?

    I just purchased a new iMac 21.5" and upgraded it to Yosemity O.S.
    I set it up using one eMail adress (hotmail) and password. I have, now changed it to a different eMail adress (gmail) and password. But when I try to log in to iCloud it still shows my old eMail adress and it won't accept my new password. I believe that I need to change the email adress but how can I do this?
    Please help.

    Hey Sblan2,
    According to the following document, you are unable to change the iCloud email address.
    from: Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
    However, one option you have would be to create an email alias:

  • TS3988 how do you change the email address associated to my account

    how do you change the email address associated to my account

    Your description doesn't make it entirely clear what you are trying to do. Your Apple ID - which you use to log in to iCloud - is a non-Apple email address and you can change this. You may also have a 'rescue' address (advisable) which is a non-Apple email address and you can change that. The @icloud.com address you set up when you opened the iCloud account can not be changed, but has nothing directly to do with Hotmail (other than that being the login).
    What you can do is 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.

  • How can I change my email adress on Synch?

    How can I change my E-Mail adress on Firefox Synch, because I have lost my controll over this mailadress and need to change it. Could you please tell me how I can do?
    Thanks
    Werner

    This apparently is a problem with the system. The question has been hanging out there for 3 years with no response.
    I changed my Apple ID account email address, and the store and iBooks and such are working great, but I cannot seem to get iCloud to work. Every day a message pops up on my Macbook to sync with iCloud, but has the original email address, and no matter what I attempt it will not change it without warning me that it will delete everything (Notes, Contacts, whatever) from the cloud and my Macbook if I do that. This warning is not apperaing on my iPod or iPad, so it is strange, and they are both seeming to back up to the cloud (or at least iTunes *says* they are).
    I did make backups of the data to stand-alone archives, and I have an iPod and iPad I could take offline to keep the data preserved, but this is irritating.
    I have not contacted Apple yet, as I don't have time to sit on a phone call, and they don't seem to take emails anymore.
