How do I change the email adress that has been set for when I forget my security questions?
I have forgotten my security questions, and the email adress that is set for when this happens, is wrong. So how can I change it??
You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

I have forgotten the answer to one of two My Apple ID security questions. Apple has supplied the solution to that problem online in Edit Your Apple ID. I would be happy to follow those instructions, except......the only email address the Edit Your Apple ID page will allow me is one that has not been functional for over a year. There are no options for changing that recovery email address since I only have two security questions, not three, as Apple specifies. Neither can I find an option for switching to the two-stage verification process---although I would rather not do this. I recently edited my email addresses in My Apple ID on my Sony Vaio laptop in an effort to alleviate the problem, but it didn’t help. I use the Apple ID on an iPad (4th gen Wi-Fi + Cellular MM) and two iPhone 5 (IOS 8). Does anyone have suggestions? Feel that I've read through all the fine print and cannot locate an answer.
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

The email address that I iCloud is sending my verification email too, is incorrect and I don't know how to change it so that I can receive the verification email and start using iCloud
Have you checked this page? If you didn't receive your Apple ID verification or reset email - Apple Support
If the rescue email does not work, and you do not have set up security questions, give apple Support a call. Only they will be able to fix this.
See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.
You can also try to email the iTunes Support using this form: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html -

Since the latest iOS update my ipad uses my husbands phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. How do I change the phone number to match my iPhone?
Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.

How do I change the email address that shows when I try to sign in to update apps
The email address for the iPad has to be changed -- cnnot log into app store
The email that shows when updating Apps is the Apple ID under which the App was purchased. Apps cannot be transferred between Apple IDs. The only way to change this is to delete the App and repurchase it under your correct Apple ID.

The free, "Find my IPhone" app I installed says it needs updated (and the other 4 free games I have) but when I try to update, the Apple ID comes up with my husbands email, not mine. He has an Ipod and an ITunes account, no IPhone. I haven't purchased anything yet, but did created an ITunes account. Maybe it's something with that, but I can't figure it out. I tried logging out of ITunes and logging back in, same with the Iphone-settings, store, logged out and back in (and it shows my correct account). I also synced my phone. Itunes shows my name at the top, too.
Can you help me-I'm a newbee... Love the IPhone, just don't know what to do about this.. Thank you so much!!Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them originally. As a result, when you update an app it will always ask for the password for the Apple ID used to purchase it. If you are being asked for your husband's Apple ID password when you update an app, this means that it was purchased using your husband's Apple ID. You wlll have to enter his password to update it. The only way to stop this is to delete the app(s) from your phone.

How do I change the email account that sends photos?
I have 2 email accounts on my phone. Currently it sends photos from my business account. I want it to send from my personal account. Any way to switch this?
Richard,
You need to change which email account is the default. Go to Settings -> Mail -> Default Account and choose your personal account. This will now be the default account whenever an account is not specified; i.e. sending links from Safari, emailing photos, etc. To send an email from your Business account you'll need to enter mail, touch the business account, and then choose to create a new email. -
