HT1420 How can I change my Apple ID email for an account with 100s of purchases to the email address I have that (at some point) I logged into gamecenter and "claimed" it as another person?

^---topic
I have used a @yahoo email address for 10 years as my apple ID when purchasing things.  The biggest problem being, that at some point, yahoo decided to delete the email account and I can't use it.  I would like to use my email addresses that I actually use (@me, @gmail), but I guess I used them at some point to log into gamecenter or some other useless apple thing. I know you can change the email associated with your account, but apple is showing that my emails are already in use, so I can't use them for this purpose.

Change the email you used in "gamecenter or some other useless apple thing" then change your AppleID.

  • How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible.

    How can I change my apple ID on my iPhone? It's tied to a dead email address that's inaccessible. I can log in on my computer with updated id, however I can't find where to change old email. The settings displays new id. When I try to update or buy an app on my phone it automatically puts in the dead email address and asks for the password.
    Please help! Thanks.

    Sync with iTunes so you have a backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. Restore the unit as New. Reconfigure for your new ID and password. Restore your apps, etc. from backup.

  • How can I change my apple iD in my iCloud account info on my iPhone 4

    How can I change my Apple ID in my iCloud account for my iPhone 4?  I have updated to my new Apple ID on iCloud and iTunes, but my phone still shows my old apple id, thus it's not letting me restore previously backed up info.

    Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in using a different ID.

  • How can I change my apple ID on my iCloud account?

    How can I change my apple ID on my iCloud account?

    Yes, you delete the account, then sign back in with a new ID to create their new account.  With iOS 7 you will be prompted to provide your password in order to delete the account.  Also, when you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from the device.  If you plan to migrate a copy of the data to the new account, choose Keep, then choose Merge after signing into the new account to upload the data.

  • How do I merge my apple ID to my iCloud account (which was not created by the email sync offer from an OS device)

    I got an iphone.
    I created an iTunes account.
    When iCloud was release, I went to icloud.com and created myself an account.
    When I linked that account to my phone and wanted to sync the email, it ask me to choose an icloud ID. 
    Obviously, I want to use the account I created, but it wont let me use my username cause it was already taken...
    ''BY ME''
    So how do I merge it?
    ...or how do I delete this account and recreated with the ios email option?
    Thank you
    ''By the way, I noticed that I had a iTunes/iClouds sync + the single iCloud sync, wich double all of my infos (calender, notes, contacts, etc...) in the phone and it bugs me very much''

    You would have to delete your account from your device first, then change your Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com (if not already happened) and then add your account again using your new email address.

  • When I paste a URL into an email body (Yahoo mail), just the text is pasted rather that the live web link I want represented. How can I change this so a pasted URL is shown as a live link in the email body?

    The question says it all!

    Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
    That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
    You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
    If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).

  • How can I change my Apple ID on Icloud to be the same as I resently have changed my Apple ID into?

    How can I change my Apple ID on I cloud on my Ipone 4S, to be the same as I resently have changed my Apple ID into?

    But will my photos, calendar, etc. be associated with new ID? 
    I have this question too, as I finally changed my Apple ID from ancient unchecked email to current one.  When I go to delete iCloud account with old Apple ID, it gives me a message that says all my photos are going to be deleted and that freaks me out, so I have not deleted it. 
    Is all my data going to be associated with the new ID?

  • I have five iPads, four for my classroom and one that is personal. How can I change my Apple ID on the personal iPad and still keep the apps?  Thank you!

    I have five ipad ii products. Four of them I use in my classroom and one is for personal use.  How can I change my apple ID on my personal iPad and keep all of the apps (i.e. Kindle).  I do not want it connected to my school iPads. 

    All app purchases are permanently tied to their Apple ID. You will have to delete and repurchase the apps with a new ID. I would recommend wiping that iPad and setting it up with another ID.

  • How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7?

    How can I change my Apple ID for iCloud on iPhone 5 with iOS7? When I updated to iOS7 it kept my old ID on some features and my new one on others. I was able to change my Apple ID on all apps except iCloud. I don't have the original email account I used when setting up my iPhone with the old Apple ID and I have no clue what the password was. It appears I first need to turn off "Find my iPhone" which requires the old Apple ID, then I can delete the iCloud account. I want to use my current Apple ID to be able to use the "Find my iPhone" feature in iOS7. I hope someone can help!!

    That doesn't help. It's an old email that doesn't work anymore. Please read the entire post. iOS7 won't let you delete iCloud unless you have the password for the old/inactive email/Apple ID.
    You never mentioned that you didn't have access to that email.  There are some specific steps you can perform to retrieve the old Apple ID password.
