How to change icloud email? It wasn't me who made it. So every time I used my Apple ID is linked to that email?

Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change that address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

I am trying to turn off email notifications that I get every time I use my apple ID

Got a new iPAd mini for Xmas.
I am CONSTANTLY getting email notifications when I used my apple ID. How do I turn this off? I understand it is a security feature but I am trying to learn how to operate my new iPad mini and am constantly entering the info to figure things out. Please tell me how to turn it off. I have been to the apple ID page (Apple - My Apple ID) but I see nothing that allows me to do anything like turning off or down email notifications.
I have googled it but that has led me to a page that asks me to create a new ID although it didn't say as much. I have now created an ID I didn't want to and also need to delete it as I have no desire to receive all the spam I am sure will come from it.
PLZ help!

You cannot delete an Apple ID, just abandon the new one that you created if you do not need it or want it.
Why don't you explain some of the circumstances under which you are getting these email notifications. You need to describe what you are doing when these pop up. I assume that you mean when you try to make purchases, so if tha the cae, please confirm. If not, please explain in greater detail also, what is the nature/message of the email notifications?

How do I stop the StarForce application from cause my PC to crash every time I use it?

The Star Force Driver that is installed on my PC is causing it to crash, but I was advise to put this driver on my PC to support the various programs in the Firefox server, so how can I stop this installation from crashing my PC without having to uninstall Fire Fox?

How to change iCloud Apple ID in iPhone

Hi,
I have restored a previous iPhone (4) backup onto a newly purchased iPhone 5c to keep settings/content. The previous iPhone had iCloud enabled. I recently changed my Apple ID due to change of employer - I do not have access to that old email address any longer. How do I change the iCloud Apple ID on the iPhone so that I can enter my new Apple ID into the "iCloud" settings on the iPhone?
I've seen many threads that describe the same problem (e.g. https://discussions.apple.com/message/23106464#23106464?ac_cid=tw123456%23231064 64) but none of the proposed solutions have worked for me.
Thanks in advance!

Re: Can't change iCloud ID

If you don't have access to your old email account, on a web browser, go to the Apple ID website, https://appleid.apple.com and sign in your current iCloud/Apple ID then edit it to your old email address then Save the changes (NO NEED to verify the email address becuase it's impossible). DO NOT sign out yet. Go back to your iOS device with that old email address then delete your iCloud account. Once deleted, go back to the Apple ID website and rename it back to your current email address. You just have to verify and you're good to go. No need to touch the other 2 iOS devices with the correct Apple ID.
Thanks!

Hi pjerl,
Depending on when you originally set up your Apple ID, you may have @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com email addresses associated with your account, but all mail sent to those addresses should still come in to the same iCloud account (you can test this to make sure by sending yourself emails at those addresses). You may find the following articles helpful:
iCloud: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses
iCloud: Using your @icloud.com email address

How do I turn off email notifications every time I use iCloud on my iPad?

Since I loaded 8.0.2 every time I use my iPad mail or app store I get an email notification that someone just logged in using my apple id. How do i stop that?

I Like rotation too much to turn it off. I was just reading an Apple support forum, and there are lots of others that think there should be a controller for this feature as you call it.
thanx tho

HT1364 I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanen

I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again. How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent? I have an older machine with Windows XP.

I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
Try this:
Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
Close and shut down the computer.
The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
What happens, which step do you have problems with?

I have the ICloud icon. When I try to sign in using my Apple ID, the message says that the ID is valid but I don't have an account. How do I get an an Icloud account?

I have the ICloud icon on my PC - Windows 7 - and the program. When I try to sign in using my Apple ID, the message says that the ID is valid but I don't have an account. How do I get an an Icloud account?

You can't create an iCloud account on your PC. You have to first create an iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher). After creating the account on one of these devices you can use the ID to sign into the account on your PC.

Hi, how can I limit the number of emails I can see on my iPhone 5. Every time in delete one and older email gets added from my live.co.uk account (where I want to keep my 2500 emails) I just don't want many on my phone. Thanks

You can't. Why on earth would you attempt to manage 2500 emails with setting up a folder structure or some means of doing so? Simply keeping them in an single inbox is not realistic, no matter what email client you use.

I have an old aol email that I want to use as my iCloud email but MyAppleID won't accept it because it is already in use by Apple. May have been for my ibook but not sure.

Go to https://appleid.apple.com and sign into manage your apple id with any apple ids you have access to and see if you're account is either an alternate email address or a rescue address. If it is, remove it. Have family members or friends check theirs, if they have apple ids, just in case.
If that fails...

You'll need to speak to someone in account security. They'll have to go through a verification process with you, in order to reveal information. If you fail that process, they will be able to tell you nothing.

Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
8. Reinstall OS X.

Open System Preferences, go to Accounts (or Users and Groups if you're on 10.7), click Login Options, change Automatic Login to the name of your account. You will have to authenticate with your password. If all the boxes are greyed out, click the padlock first to unlock the screen.
