How to make rescue email my apple id

My primary email account will be deleted soon and I would like to make my rescue email (gmail) my account ID. However, I cannot figure out how to do this. I deleted this email from the rescue list but that didn't work. I then added another email as a rescue id, but apple still refused to accept the gmail account as the primary email.
Again, my primary email account (university email) will be deleted in a few weeks so I need to change the apple id.
Thanks

How to Make iCloud email match Apple ID email

In my iPhone 10S7, I've successfully changed myApple ID's email. However, when I go to delete my old iCloud account so I can create a new one that matches the new Apple ID,, it asks for a password (which I've long forgotten!) to my previous Apple ID. Is there a way to delete the iCloud account without having to log in to the old Apple ID account??

On the mac: apple >> system preferences >> icloud >> sign out. Sign back in with the updated email address. Don't worry about messages about deleting info. It'll return when you sign back in.
On the iOS device: settings >> icloud. Same idea as on the mac.

How to unactive recive email of apple support communities

how to unactive recive email of apple support communities ?

There are instructions on this page on how to stop them from individual threads :
https://discussions.apple.com/static/apple/tutorial/email.html
If you are getting them from a forum as a whole (as opposed to just individual threads), then towards the top right of that forum page make sure that it says 'receive email notifications' in the Actions box :
If it says 'stop email notifications' then click on it so as to stop them

Dear John,
Goto Tcode SCOT:Node>create node>give node name and description>ten continue>choose RFC or HTTP radio button>if say you choose RFC>continue>click address type>then continue-->check various options
Check Tcode SCOT, the configuration of the SMTP should look like:Mail Host: the Exchange server domain name (FQDN)
Mail port: 25
Code Page: what ever you need (like 4110 unicode UTF8)
in the supported address choose Internet then click on the SET button and include your company address like:@XXX.ac.in:)
In the SAP's user manager (SU01) the user need an email address to be able to send emails.
Please check weather the default domain in transaction SCOT>menu>settings is set or not.
Check SAP note If you use SMTP check the note --> 455140,487754. & 455140 Also check that in Tnx SCOT
-->Node SMTP
-->Supported address type
-->button internet set.
--> Address area
'*' must be there.

How to make a song as Apple loop?

Hi there,
I'm working on 'dj mix' and liked to make couple of songs as apple loops.
Dont want to use 'Time and Pitch Machine' as I want to change tempo and see how they mix together...let's say starting mix from 130 and ending up to 138bpm.
I know how to make short files to Apple loops but as long as 6-8min tracks seem to have problem. Cannot select type "loop" in "Add Region to Apple Loops Library" for some reason?
Using PowerPC G5 and logic Pro 7.2.2
Is it possible use Logic Apple loops as Ableton 5 Live is using files?
So much easier to use a tool you have been using last 6 years...
Thanks for your help!

i tried this also, but could not get it to work. i got an error message saying that the loop was too long to be an apple loop.
if you get it to work, please post how!

Another account user is using my apple id as their rescue email. Apple know this but expect me to contact him directly rather that let lim know his error. Seem strange and a recipe for conflict. What do you think?

Another apple account user has put my apple id as their rescue email. Apple know this but expect me to contact him directly rather that let lim know his error. Seem strange and a recipe for conflict. What do you think?

Primary and alternate email addresses need to be verified but a rescue email address doesn't, it can be added to an account and used without being verified (you will get a verify button when adding/changing it, but the system doesn't force it to be verified). I would hope that the person using the email address as their rescue email address will notice that they aren't getting reset emails and that after contacting Support to get their security questions / password reset he/she will check what they've set it to and change it. The OP won't be able to log into the other account as he/she won't know its primary or alternate ids.

How to reset apple ID security questions when theres no reset link, rescue email and apple support cannot be contacted?!?!!

I'm trying to purchase music with a iTunes gift card and iTunes is prompting me for ID security answers (which I swear Ive never answered before). I cannot reset them as there's no link, my account does not have a rescue email and...apple support seems to be down at the moment and I cannot find a contact number.
Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
