HT5622 how do you find out what your rescue email address is

I have a new iphone. It asks me security questions to verify my identity. I forgot answers and therefore it sends information to my rescue email to change questions. How do I find out what my rescue email is?

You can't after losing the answers. If guessing doesn't work, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Change apple id to email address

i would like to change my apple id so that it would be the same as my email address but when i edit it on 'My Apple ID', it says 'that email address is used'. i also clicked the 'make your apple id and email one and the same' option but still no change. how long do i have to wait for it? am i doing something wrong? please help. thanks

Call 1-800-M&-APPLE, unless you can find a contact link on the My AppleID pages. I'm not entering that morass, so that'll be up to you. Good luck.

Have changed Apple ID (and email address).i cloud mail still shows old ID. Cannot delete it or use it.

Have changed Apple ID as I have new email address. I cloud mail still shows old ID(email address) and since new download with IO7 cannot use new password and therefore cannot use iCloud mail or indeed delete account. How do I get it to recognise new user ID which is fully recognised in Apple website?

delete the email account and try again

Cannot load backup (due to changed Apple ID/updated email address)

I have followed the answer provided to Ross202 by Gail from Maine. Unfortunately I fear my problem may be larger.
Objective
Move iCloud-backed up data to new iPhone (old phone "drowned" over holidays)
Context
My original Apple ID was EmailOld. This email address (EmailOld) has been terminated. Unfortunately my iCloud / backup is linked to Apple ID EmailOld (so verifying this is not possible). My new AppleID is EmailNew, and this has been verified. I have tried changing my Apple profile to EmailOld, as suggested by Gail (without the verification email).
Despite following Gail's steps, Apple could not backup my old account. Error message:
"Cannot load backups. There was a problem loading your iCloud Backups. Try again, set up as a new iPhone, or restore from an iTunes backup.
Options
- Try again (*)
- Set up as a new iPhone (**)
- Restore from iTunes (***)"
Troubleshooting steps
(*) Try again repeats same issue.
Apple ID EmailOld: "iCloud Sign in" --> Agree --> "It may take a few minutes to set up your Apple ID" --> Choose backup screen --> takes an age --> above message repeated
AppleID EmailNew: (Update AppleID to EmailNew in My Apple ID) "iCloud Sign in" --> Agree --> "It may take a few minutes to set up your Apple ID" --> "Choose backup" screen, with options --> selection of backups --> but then I either 1) have to enter correct password corresponding with EmailOld (and EmailOld and current password don't match), or 2) get error message above
(**) Set up as a new iPhone (using:
(a) old Apple ID says --> "Could Not Sign In | There was a problem connecting to the server". I have reviewed and checked wifi connection, all in order here. I have tried using new account, same error message,
(b) new Apple ID works. And this is hopeful - the device can detect I have about 10GB data stored on iCloud. However, I cannot agitate this sync from iCloud to my new device
(***) I have logged in to iTunes with Apple ID EmailOld (it works - it even says 17 updates on my apps, however I can't agitate updates). I cannot get a sync going.
My phone requests me to "Connect to iTunes", but I cannot do anything more than this. (I have unplugged and plugged my USB cable many times)
I have also logged in to iTunes with Apple ID EmailNew (it works too). But, again, I cannot connect to iTunes
Possible solutions
Recognition of 10GB iCloud-backed up data on new device (despite the fact that old Apple ID doesn't match new Apple ID)
Any help will be greatly appreciated! 5 hours and counting :/
Thanking the community in advance

Call Apple Care for your country and request help reactivating the Apple ID and resetting the password.

HT5312 How do I know if I have a rescue email address? It keeps saying my security question answers are wrong and I can't figure out how to fix it!

How do I recover my security question answers? I don't know how to tell if I have a rescue email address. I know my answers aren't wrong but I can't buy anything on iTunes without verifying the questions. Nothing seems to be working!
