How do I change primary login e-mail to an address previously used as recovery e-mail?

Hi all,
I'm moving away from my former ISP and is trying to change my primary login e-mail (supplied from the ISP in question) for my Apple ID to a Gmail address.
The problem is that I have registered the Gmail address as one of my recovery e-mail addresses and now the system prohibits me from using it as primary login address, even though I have removed the Gmail address from the list of recovery addresses.
So, how should I do to change my primary login to the Gmail address? How do I remove the Gmail adress from my recovery addresses?
(Sorry if I'm posting to the wrong forum, but I couldn't find any forum for AppleID support.)
Thanks for any advice,
Ulf

If you want to change your email, this is something that can be done from the eprint center website. Once you get to the website follow these steps:
Log into your eprint center account
Click change next to your email in the box that says eprint
Enter a new customized email in the box that pops up (the end automatically defaults to @hpeprint.com)
Click save
Don't forget after changing your email address to write it down so you will have a copy of it.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

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 to I change an email back to one that was previously used.

I had an iTunes account that was hacked several years ago. How do I change my iTunes ID back to that email since that is my primary email and I just got an iPhone?

Just make her a new AppleID - https://appleid.apple.com
On her device, log out of iMessage with your AppleID, then log back in with her new AppleID. For iCloud, first go into the iCloud account settings and disable find my iPhone, then delete the iCloud account. Now add a new iCloud account using her new AppleID.
You both can continue to use the same AppleID in the iTunes and App stores if you wish to share purchases. If not, just scroll to the bottom of the feature page in the store, log out with your AppleID and log back in with her AppleID (she will need your AppleID and password to update anything purchased with your AppleID though).

How do i change my notification e-mail

Hello,
How do I change my notification e-mail address without changing my apple id?
I want my notification e-mail address to be my me.com address.
Thanks a lot and best regards.

Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

How do I change the authorization e-mail for a device?

We're trying to download library books to my wife's new Color Nook. We've downloaded the books to our computer via Adobe Digital Editions (ADE). But, whenever we connect the Nook to our computer with a USB cable, ADE shows a prompt asking us to authorize the device using an old e-mail address, not the one my wife is using for her Nook. Also, when I try to use the Library > Authorize Computer command, ADE says that we've authorized a device using the old e-mail address, not the one my wife is using. How can I change the authorization e-mail address so that it recognizes her device???

1. I'm sure you must have tried signing in to Adobe and changing email address in your profile. Don't know if they retrofit.
2. I can't account for what just happened. Last night I took screen shots of all the various manifestations of my problem, including messages that the book both could and could NOT be copied. For the umpteenth time I reopened the original booksale into ADE and tried to drag to Nook--got the usual red X's. This morning the icon miraculously allowed itself to be dragged into the nook. Green all the way--nothing had been changed. Elves in the night? Then I opened Nook--no book! But there it was in Documents. No, it wasn't there all this time. I knew to look there because of other threads. I also remember someone else had a problem that sorted itself out after leaving the Nook attached to computer for a long time.
So thanks for all the suggestions. What I take away from all this is that the Nook works well with B&N but using ADE for EPUB books is clumsy and tedious. Or possibly it is just slow. If I had wanted only books in English I could have gotten the Kindle, but with Nook I expected to gain access to Dutch books. It had worked before, but this time, perhaps with this seller, I spent hours spread over 3 days to sort it out and I still don't know how to avoid this the next time.

How do I change name of Apple Mail

I was calibrating the battery of my MBP and let the battery drain. It went black and then the screen lit up again and then died. It didn't go to sleep. I was working in Mail. I had to restart my computer and my Mail was messed up. I called Apple support and the first technician I talked to told me to restore the application Mail from Time Machine. I did but fortunately kept my original Mail application which is now called Mail (original). The restored mail wasn't functional. The technician called a senior representative who helped me restore my mail.
Now I start Mail with the Mail Icon in my dock which says Mail (original) when I mouse over it.
I trashed the new Mail, which has a Unix file inside it but nothing to double-click and start Mail.
I tried selecting Mail (original) in my applications folder but it doesn't let me change it back to Mail.
How do I change it back to Mail? Does it matter? I don't want any problems the day there is an upgrade for Mail.
Thanks

HI Tommy,
Reinstall applications from your Snow Leopard disc.
Insert the Snow Leopard install disk. Open the Optional Installs folder, then open Optional Installs.mpkg
An Installer will start... click Continue. When you get to the Installation Type in the window on the right you will see: Applications. Click the Disclosure triangle so it faces down. Select the Mail application then click Continue.
Before you do anything else, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. *Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.*

I tried to connect to support team but it didn't work.

You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer 2 of your questions - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner of my iPad?

How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner to me?

You can't do it on your own. The previous owner has to erase the device for you. You would need his Apple ID and password in order to delete his iCloud account. This is due to the Activation Lock in iOS 7 - assuming that your iPad is running iOS 7.
Contact the owner and ask home to erase it remotely using iCloud, or return the device and ask for your money back. If you can't contact the pervious owner, you will have a useless iPad on your hands.
Read this for more information. This is what you need the previous owner to do.
