How is it possible to change my Apple Support Communities email?

As of today (Octobor 2011) I've started receiving lots of emails from Apple Support Community. Normally I'd direct such mail to my Gmail a/c, but my Apple a/c is associated with my business address.
It doesn't seem that Apple Support Communities offers a way to supply a preferred email for forum notifications (I've clicked through the various profile forms available).
Similar questions - https://discussions.apple.com/message/16523661 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/16515796, https://discussions.apple.com/message/15288686, oh look there's a big list to the right too. Hmm.
How do we change the email that ASC will send to?

Thanks, that fixed it for me. (I'd click "Correct Answer", but it disappeared when I clicked "Helpful Answer". That's a whole other UI discussion!)
I think it's unfortunate that the forum mails are tied to the Apple ID, but I was delighted to find that in this case I had two Apple IDs (an ancient one from the launch of .Mac, and one I've used for iTunes purchases), so I wasn't required to set the same email for iTunes signin and forum emails.
Systems which predicate identity on a single email account are not well designed for an environment where the bulk of email users suffer email fatigue and many mitigate the same through multiple email accounts.

  • How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name?

    How can I change my Apple Support Communities Name? I want to change it because I made it a long time ago and want a different name. I want to start using Apple Support Communities a lot more and start helping people, But I want a different name.

    It is possible he was incorrect.
    > When you signed up you were not given the opportunity to create an alias? I find that hard to believe given the number of people who have joined since that have there own alias. Apple assigned xdcdx to you?
    Yes, back on 2007 I chose xdcdx.
    Forward to 2011: I change the email address of my Apple ID to my current email address.
    I login to Apple Support Communities (which I had not logged in to since 2007) and to my surprise I see this nickname that I almost didn't remember using here.
    For me, it's irrational that I am able to change the main email address of my Apple ID (is there any piece of information more important than that?), but not this little username on this subpar forum system (subpar because of the web design/engineering, I don't mean to offend all the people here which are always quite helpful).
    I upgrade to iCloud, and my email address gets hardcoded to my Apple ID. That's good, because I want this email address. In that case, they make sure to warn you that you had to chose an email address as an Apple ID for iCloud. That was not the case in this forums.
    > In the link that you provided Tuttle did a better job than I did as to the difficulty factor. Not sure why you were linking it.

    How many million participants have these forums?
    At least you do not seem to disagree with me that these forum are subpar compared to the usual Apple perfectionism level (see iCloud nice web user interface, for another fine example). This thing still looks like a forum from 2007.
    > Yes on an extremely limited basis Apple has made the change for longtime users (only two that I know of) with one of those a request for security reasons. That does not mean it is easy.
    I still am not convinced that it is technically that difficult. I think it just a policy on part of Apple to avoid banal username change requests.
    In part, I am not more active in this forums because I do not want my words to be associated to this nickname, becayse it is used on internet by tons of other people for other stuff, as a Google result will show.
    Anyway, thanks for your words. I'll keep looking from time to time for the username change feature, because I do want to contribute to these forums.

    That happens. Many Original Posters don't reply. Just keep helping.
    When I get a thank you (without points) that gives me a buzz. With points, a bigger buzz.

  • How to turn off receiving apple support communities emails

    how to turn off receiving apple support communities emails on imac and ipad?

    In addition ,you can  go to Your Stuff - Profile- Manage Email Notifications (in the upper right hand Actions box) - either check individual threads to remove or click in the top box which will check all the threads and then click on Remove Email Notifications.
    Also check the tutorial for managing email subscriptions
    You might also make sure that you haven't subscribed to one of the communities by mistake. 
    Go to the community that you are receiving the emails from and the same box called "Actions" will appear there just like it does next to the individual question.  Make sure that you are not reciveing email notifications for that community.  Probably the community  where you asked your question.  Typically that is what causes people to get 100's of email notifications. I think that this is not included in the tutorial so a lot of people miss it.

  • Change username apple support communities?

    how to change username in apple support sommunity?

  • How to reset your user name on apple support communities?

    If your dont remember your user name in the  Apple Support Communities, how can you reset it?

    Do you mean the ID you use as a login, rather than the name which appears here ('nunski')? Do you know what you last used to log in here? If not, go to Applications>Utilities>Keychain Access and see if it is listed under 'discussions.apple.com'
    Since it's difficult to stay logged in here for any length of time, you must presumably have logged in in the not too distant past?
    If Keychain doesn't help, go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Find Your Apple ID'.

  • My Apple support communities email address is wrong!

    Hi,
    I have a very old email address assigned to my Apple ID that I no longer have access to. My main Apple ID is a gmail one, that I can get to, but the email address in my support profile, and therefore the email address that iCloud sends a verification email to, is for a company I no longer work for and have no way of getting to.
    How can I change my profile email address to be the same as my Apple ID?
    |\/|

    Finally found the answer.  Iknew it had to be simple, it was just difficult to find it!
    Go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and sign in.Click the "Manage your account" link.
    On the right hand side, click the "Edit" link in the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address" area.
    Change your email address and click "Save changes"

  • Apple Support Communities email notifications preferences not responding

    Last night I accidentally reset my email preferences to receive all posts to this discussion group.  I quickly changed it, but the emails have been flooding in ever since.  I've gone back to my profile email preferences several times now to remove ALL notifications and Saved my changes but the system is not responding.  What else can I do???  Yikes

    After posting this I found Ronda Wilson's June 16, 2011 response to Enver Masud stating that you must turn off email notifications in two places, the Actions box on upper right of each page, as well as the profile settings.  I thought I recalled changing the Actions preferences last night, but apparently that was the problem.  All is apparently resolved now.

    Recently, I discovered I have two iCloud accounts. Is it possible to change the Apple ID for one of the accounts to match the other account, without losing the information from either account.
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's a little tricky to move data from one iCloud account to another but it can be done. But what makes you think you have 2 iCloud accounts.

  • Is it possible to change the Apple ID for my macbook pro?

    Is it possible to change the Apple ID for my macbook pro? My laptop is currently registered under my husband`s ID, and I would like to change it to my apple ID so I can install changes / updates (as we are now separated). Would appreciate any help.

    In your post you have indicated that the MBP has Snow Leopard (10.6.8) installed.  You will have to use the original OSX disk and slide it into the DVD drive on startup holding the C key.  Then you follow the instructions on the display.
    Worst case is to take it to an Apple store and have them assist you in the installation process.
    Ciao.
