How do I change my email for iMessage on my MacBook Air?

I no longer use the email that is set up for iMessage, how do i change it to a more recent email address?

You can go to appleid.apple.com on safari and then click on manage appleid on top right of page. enter in your full email as the appleid and then your password and sign into the account. From there next to you primary email account you will see edit click on edit and change the email address and then you can tap on save changes down at bottom right and then you will get an email to that new email that you set up to verify the contact email account for the appleid. Open that email and then click verify now and you will sign into the appleid with your new email and the same password that you have had and click verify and your all set to go with the new email on your appleid acocunt! Hope this helps!
Have a great day,
Gale Bertram

You might want to rethink your thoughts about making transferring authority easier. Making it too easy would certainly degrade your account's security. If you still believe it should be easier, you can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
You will not get a response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in FaceTime product development.

How do I change my email for my Adobe account?

I am going to be making a new email soon and I want to know how to change the email for my Adobe account.
I have purchased things on this account so I want to make sure that I can keep those purchases.
Thanks!

Presumably you've tried opening your account and editing your details on the first page, where, under your Adobe ID, you can alter it to your new email address. This is assuming that your ID is the same as your email address, which mine is.

How do I change the email for my security question answers to be sent to?

I've forgotten all my security question answers and deactivated my email they are being sent to. I have money on my account and don't want to open a new one. How do I change the email that the security question answers are being sent to?

The Three Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.
          Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the
          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then
          'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Forgotten Apple
          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
     2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
     3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
A substitute for using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

I am constantly having to reregister friends for iMessage on my MacBook Air. It says to go to Messages on the iPhone sign out, then sign in, but no dice.

I constantly have co-workers phones show up as pink or red in my iMessaging on my macbook air. It refers me back to my iPhone but I cannot get it to work where I can text or SMS friends that do not have an apple product. Why is this so damned unstable?

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

How can I change the email for payment receipts

You have purchased CC for Team online on April 2014, the program admin can not be changed for the direct purchases. You can add secondary admin but the invoice related mail & payment related information shall be emailed to the program admin only.

How do I change the email for my icould account on my iphone 4s?

I have an iPhone 4S. I have an old email for my icloud that shows on my iPhone 4S. My actual Appleid is a new one that I've had for awhile now. The iPhone when hooked up via USB to my computer is signed in under my new email, however keeps the old email for the iCloud even after the update and sync. Can someone please help me? There is no "Delete Account," when you go to Settings either. Someone else suggested that and it's just not there. I am really hoping that I do not have to completely reset the iPhone.

Hey JT_BARRETT,
Thanks for the question. You are definitely on the right track. You’ll want to follow these instructions for updating your iPhone with your new iCloud account. Please note that “Delete Account” had changed in iOS 8 to “Sign Out”:
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:
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.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
Thanks,
Matt M.
