HT1918 Change of Email address

All I want to do is to correct my Email address. This has been changed by a new Internet Service Provider.
I AM NOT trying to set up an iTunes account, which I do not want.
I hope someone can help, otherwise I will simply forget the whole thing.
At 88 years of age I haven't the time to mess around!!

Hello,
I've just come back to your reply because I've just discovered why I do not get notifications: Apple still has my old defunct email address !
I've tried to change it, but tells me that the old address cannot be changed !!
So I tried to set it up as an alternative address.
Then it told me that it is verified for another Apple ID !! That is not possible - unless somehow it happened when I tried to set up an iTunes account, but gave up when it got too complicated.
But more to the point, I DO NOT want an iTunes account !! So where do I go from apart from leaving the Apple communities for good
Quo Vadis

HT1918 change rescue email address

I can see how I change my primary email address in my apple account - but how do I change 'rescue' email address ?????????

You can do it through My Apple ID: http://appleid.apple.com
Click "manage account" on the right. Sign in. Click "password and security."
You can change your rescue email address after you answer your security questions.

HT1918 I would like to change my email address around as I use my rescue email more then my I'd one. How can I do this

I would like to change my email address around

You can change/remove your rescue email address by (from here) :
    1.    Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
    2.    Click "Manage your account"
    3.    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    4.    Click Password & Security
    5.    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    6.    After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
    7.    Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
You should then be able to change your main email address to be that old rescue email address, and then old your current main address as your rescue email address (I'm not sure whether you will need to log and out and back in between each change)

HT1918 Itunes account & change of email address

Hi,
How can I change the email address associated with my iTunes account? I followed the instructions in this article but there is no option to change the email address (which is my Apple ID), only an option to change password. Thanks

If you know the answers to your security questions then yes, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
If you can't remember the answers and you don't have access to your current rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset first.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
You can then use the above steps to change your rescue email address for potential future use.

Hi Stapleton2137,
This sounds like an issue with your security settings for your Apple ID.
If you are having issues with your Apple ID, the two articles below will help:

HT1918 I changed my email address, and now none of my music shows up in my library. Where did it go?

I changed the email address on my current account, and now when I log into iTunes, none of my music is there. I didn't create a new account, just changed my email address. Where is my music and how do I get it back?

This does not make sense. Your Apple ID does not change your music on your computer/device in any way. Aside from old refresh issues for DRM items.
Are you sure you didn't create a new library by accident? Use the spotlight to see where your computer sees your song titles.

How Can I change my email address or create a new account??

I need to change my email address of the account or create a new account but when I try to create new one is
asking me for the password supposing like I have already one...

At this time, you cannot change the email address for an account. When you sign up for a new account it will ask you to provide a password on the very first page and then confirm it before you continue.

I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. my iPad recognisIes the change of id but on my MacBook Air, iCloud just keeps asking me for a password for the old email address/account. How can I get iCloud to recognise the new details? Help please!

I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. My iPad recognises the new detail in iTunes and iCloud but when I go into iCloud through my MacBook Air, it requests a password for the old email account which I can no longer use. There is no Option to be able to change this email/ID detail as I cannot get further than the password request. Can anyone help please - this is driving me insane?!

Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID? (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

HT201303 I tried to change my email address on the apple ID but now when I try to buy an app or film it still comes up with my old email address and won't accept my password to buy anything. My old email address is no longer in use and can not be access

I tried to change my email address ID , but now when I try to buy an app or music it still shows my old email address and won't accept my password which I did not change. What can I do as I can't download anything ?

What id shows in Settings > iTunes & App Store ? If it's the old one then tap on it and log out of it and then log in with the updated version

I am trying to change the email address associated with my existing account to free up my university email address for use in obtaining Creative Cloud.

I am trying to change the email address associated with my existing account to free up my university email address for use in obtaining Creative Cloud. Every time I go to the account settings of my existing account (which currently uses my university email, as I set it up years ago and had no idea it'd eventually cause problems), I enter a different email to use for that account but I continuously receive an error message saying "account changes cannot be saved." It makes me think that it's because the email isn't verified (funny, it actually is verified since it has been the alternate email on the old account for years), but when I click the "send verification email" nothing happens (that is, no email is sent to that other email address).
Anyway, my university is now requiring that faculty create new accounts using our university email addresses in order to register/use Creative Cloud. Am I able to delete my old account, or can anyone help me actually change the email address associated with my old account without getting a "changes can't be saved" error?

Hello! I changed my email address and apple id a year ago, but i am not sure how to change my icloud acccount information so it meshes with all my apple devices which include: an original ipad, iphone 4s, and my macbook pro. I keep seeing this message, " I cloud unable to access the account ( my old email address) Review your account information in your settings. OR it asks me for my old email address password, which i do not remember!

Then sign back in with the correct ID and password.

The "Apple ID Password box along with the keyboard keeps popping up on my iPad and stays there. I have changed my email address on my iMac but my old one still remains on the iPad. Also changed password. Nothing works! I can't use the iPad like this!

The "apple ID Password" box along with the keyboard pops up when I turn the iPad on and it stays there. I have changed my email address on my iMac and also changed my password. The old email address is still on the iPad. Anyway, I can't use the iPad because can't get the apple id password box to go away. Thanks for any help!

This is an older photo but the sleep and home buttons are still in the same place on all iPads. The home button is the round button at the bottom of the iPad and the sleep button is also called the on/off button and it is at the top right corner of the iPad.

HT1911 How do you change the email address associated with forgetting your security answers

Trying purcahse a song on iTunes and have been prompted to answer security questions. Since I do not remember setting up these security questions, I do not remember the answers.
I can click a link that will send instructions to resetting the security questions, but the email address associated with this link is no longer active. How do I change this email address?

Just where are you going?
and what do you see? A screen shot with personal info redacted would be great.
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup iCloud with your new ID.
You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it.
