HT1918 Changing email address - Apple ID

I went through the step by step instructions on changing my appleID email and now when I go to iTunes the previous email shows up and when I enter the password it does not work.  What to do??  Just want to change the email I get correspondence from.

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to log into your account via the Store > View Account menu option and at the top of your account's screen there should be an edit link to the right of your id. If doing it on an iOS device the tap on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store, tap 'view Apple id' on the popup, and you should be able to then tap on the current id on your account's page and change it. Or you can do it via http://appleid.apple.com
After changing it you may need to log out of the account on any iOS devices that you have (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store), and possibly on computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them

  • Change email address / Apple ID in Settings iCloud?

    I had to change the email address for my Apple ID. So I did this on the Apple dedicated page. I deleted the old email address as it is not used more. I enabled the new email address which I will use instead. I deactivated mostly linked to my Apple ID on my iPhone. Like FaceTime, iMessage, and so on. Probably I forgot the "Find my iPhone". This now seems to cause me problems because I can not change the email address under Settings > iCloud ... on my iPhone. In this menu the email address / Apple ID is indicated at the top. But it can not be edited / edited?
    Every now and then my iPhone ask for the password to my old Apple ID ... and it does not work with that password. How can I solve this?
    How do I set up my new email address / Apple ID in Settings > iCloud?

    In the menu Settings> iCloud> Account - I can not change the email address. When I press the e-mail address I come to the Account menu. There the Apple ID field gray, can not be edited. The password can however be edited.

  • 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.)

  • HT204053 i changed my email address (apple id) on my pc, but now my ipad is asking me for my password with the old email address...and not accepting the old or new password.how do i change it/sync it?

    I changed my email address (apple id) and password on my pc, but now my ipad mini icloud is asking me for my  icloud password with the old email address and not accepting the old one or the new one..how do i change it / sync it?

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How do I verify my iCloud account when the email address apple wants to send the instructions to no longer exists?

    How do I verify my iCloud account when the email address Apple wants to send the instructions to doesn't exist?  I know I need to change the email account associated with iCloud but there doesn't seem to be a way to do so.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!! 

    Did you create an entirely new ID or did you just change the Gmail address to a new email address on your existing ID?

  • Changing email address on iCloud account

    My email was hacked a while ago, and I managed to change email addresses on most accounts I can't seem to change the address on my iCloud account, any help please?????!!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • How can I change email address on my ICloud account?  It won't let me change old e-mail address.

    How can I change email address on Icloud?  It won't let me delete old email address so I can enter new email address.

    Are you trying to change the email address which forms the login? Or the @icloud.com address you created when you opened the account? You can't change the latter.
    You can change the login address as long as it isn't an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address.
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • The non-email address apple Id I have had for years, now won't work.

    I have had an Apple ID for a long time and it has always worked on every Apple device I have until recently.  This Apple ID was noot my email address just a random nickname.  I just recently downloaded the latest software update and about the same time my password for my old Apple ID stopped working at once for all of my gadgets as if it never existed.  When I tried to update my apps a box appears that says "You can't update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software"   I tried to use the feature "Forgot my password" to which I was redirected by ITunes but it asked for my date of birth for the purpose of verification and even though I answered it correclty 2-3 times, it told me that it was not the correct one. 
    Then I tried to log in using my account primary email, restoring the pasword for that email and then it worked fine.  Now I can log in using that email address as my Apple ID but it seems like my old Apple ID, that I have purchased everything, is lost in limbo.  The old password and new password for my non-email address Apple ID doesnt work, and when I request for an Email Authentication to be sent to my email for the old Apple ID, no email arrives.
    Since I have all of my information attached to my old Apple ID, and I cant log in, I can't update anything and its telling me I have to re-buy everyting. 
    Any ideas why this is happening and how I can get my old apple ID to work again?

    Did you previously use MobileMe with that ID?  If so, did you correctly migrate from MM to iCloud at mobileme.com?
