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.

How can I change the iCloud setting to my email address. I can't log out of the previous owners email I'd without his password

I have my sons old iPhone. iCloud is still under his email address. I can't close it and re start without his password. If I put his password in I am worried it will delete all his backup. Any suggestions?

Not completely clear on what you are trying to do, but I will take a shot.
1. If you do not want to continue using your son's account on the old phone, factory reset it and set it up with your Apple ID. It will be like you have a new phone.
1. To prevent a problem with your son's backup, connect the newly-reset phone to the computer and cancel the sync immediately. Rename the old iPhone immediately and you will not have to worry about messing up your son's backup.
I hope this helps.

My family shares an account. How do I switch my iphone to my new Apple ID without loosing all of my contacts and contents from the phone?

I just purchased an ipad and created a new Apple ID. My phone currently shares an apple ID that the whole family uses. What is the best/easiest way to switch my iphone 4S to my new ID without loosing everything in my phone? I want to streamline my own stuff...

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish. Are you trying to change your Apple ID for all services (iCloud, iMessage, store purchases, etc.)? You can safely use a different Apple ID for all these things without jeopardizing your contacts/photos etc. If you want to change your iCloud account you would need to turn off syncing for contacts and calendars and when prompted, choose to keep your data on your phone (rather than delete it). Then you can go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then you can set up a new iCloud account with a new Apple ID and turn on syncing for contacts, calendars, etc. again. To change your iMessage Apple ID, go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in with your alternate ID.
Where you will run into problems, however, is if you sync to a new iTunes library. If you have already synced to one library and try to sync to a new one, iTunes will erase all iTunes content and replace it with the content in the new iTunes library. Let me know if that's what you are trying to do.

If you have any photo stream photos on your old phone that you want to keep you might want to save them to the camera roll, then import them to your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083) before deleting the account. The reason for this is that photo stream photos are only kept in iCloud for 30 days. When you enable photo stream on your new phone you will only receive photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.

Even I have the same question, but the 'Manage your Apple ID' doesnt work. It says the email has already been registered, when I'm sure I didnt register it. Also, its a newly created email address!
Please help as I dont use my old email anymore and I cannot find a solution to this.
Thanks in advance.

I want to delete my icloud account because of new email address. Will all photos be deleted off my phone?

I changed my appleID as I have a new email address. My iCloud account is in my old email address. I've never backed up or stored anything on icloud before so if I delete the account will I lose all my photos,videos and everything else on my phone?
Reason I need to get a new icloud account with new email address is due to getting a new iphone5. I need to back everything up on a new icloud account that matches my appleID.

No. Deleting the iCloud account on your phone merely deletes the account, nothing more. If you sync contacts/calendars with iCloud, you'll be given the option to keep on your phone.

TS4009 How can I change my iCloud Apple ID to be the same on all my devices?

I am using one Apple ID for basically everything now on iTunes. But some of my devices, iPad and iPhone use a different Apple ID. Also the Cloud Apple ID is different on my Mac Pro than the Apple TV I just set up. How can I change the iCould ID on my Mac Pro so I can start photo streaming from my computer to my TV?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

How do I change Safari's assumed and unwanted email address?

I can't for the life of me find where Safari stores my preferred email address.
This becomes trouble when click on an email address within a web page. Craigslist, for instnace.
Safari assumes I want to send email from my google mail address. I don't .
I want to send it from my Mac Mail app.
How can I change this preference?
P.S. My address book card for myself lists my Mac Mail address (the one I want) and does not list my google mail address.

Hey! I found the answer here.
It seems like posting is the best kind of searching.

I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which not longer exists and I don't know the password. HOw can I get them authorized to my new email address and password?

In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

My icloud is linked to my husband's icloud. How can I change it so that my itunes email address shows up and not my husband's? All my apps also go to his phone. None of my pics, or apps were saved on my phone. I think because it has his itunes info.

My husband and I traded phones a week ago. Now I have my phone back. So when I got my # back I tried to recall all my stored data via icloud but nothing except contacts was retrieved. At ATT they said they could tell that I have over 200 photos but we couldn't recover any of them. They said all I had to do was recall them from icloud. But it didn't work. Now my husband says every time I download a new app it also gets it. We share the same itunes account but different icloud accounts. So what can I do? I made an appointment with the genious bar at the Apple Store but I am anxious to try to fix it before my appointment time in 2 more days. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
It appears you want to remove his ID from iCloud on your device and add your own back, you can do this at settings > iCloud > Delete account and then sign in again using your Apple ID. By doing this your data should be added back to your device, unless your husband has deleted it when using your ID. Photo stream is a little different.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.
You should also decide whether you want to share your iTunes content with each other. If you do share, you can stop the apps and music etc., that he buys on his device downloading to yours by turning off automatic downloads on your device at settings > iTunes & App Stores.

Expert advice sought please: How do I change my child's default primary email address to another address?

Hello
I've just set up a child's Family sharing account.
I now want to change address ([email protected]) to an email account of my own choice. I have added the email address but there is no link to make this the primary address. How is this achieved?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
This is just another reason why I detest the Apple ecosphere. I'm now forced to use an iCloud address for a minor. Steve Jobs has an awful lot to answer for. Most of it bad.
Disgraceful.
