HT1918 how to change recovery email address

Hi,
I am trying to consolidate my devices into a single apple ID in particular for use of my ITunes account.
I have an IPad which has an @me.com ID, but my original ITunes is tied to an old email address which I no longer use.
I have attempted to update my details in ITunes with the following results:
It will not allow me to use the @me address because it is in use on another device.
My personal gmail address was rejected because it is registered as my recovery address
I looked to change the recovery address but cannot find where I can do this.
Is my best option to create a new Apple ID and use this for my Itunes account and then assign this to my IPad?
Or can I update my existing addresses by changing the recovery address?
Thanks
Paul

you go to that site
appleid.apple.com
you click manage my apple id button
you sign in
you click password and security button
you answer two security questions
you change your recovery email or delete it.
you go back to first tab with your apple id
you click edit and change it to your former recovery.
You smile.

HT201269 How to change the email address associated with an iPhone account?

How to change the email address associated with an iPhone account? I inherited my son's phone and it still shows his phone number even though I can add my own email account. My iCloud is also associated with his phone number.

If you mean you want to change the iCloud ID your phone is signed into on your phone (which looks like an email address), 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.

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.

I'm back! How to change main email address and make i WORK?!

Okay, so i got my mail app. back ( thanks guys! you know who you are!) But, I had tried to change the email address to my last one, which didn't work. So now that I have a .mac account, I'd like to know...how can I change my main email address to a .mac account ( I think i know how to, but i was wondering what i should change everything to ie. when it says outgoing mail server...what do it put) Thanks guys! I know someone will know...you guys are like....REALLY SMART!!
haha Thanks!

Is your main email account/address provided by your internet service provider used for connecting to the internet and is this email account still active?
If so, you need to create this account in Mail and must know the account type - POP or IMAP, the incoming and outgoing mail server settings, the user name format - usually the portion of your email address in front of the @ sign only but with some providers the user name is the entire email address. You can get this information from the email account provider for the account.
You can't change your main email address to a .Mac account if not provided by .Mac.

How to change primary email address

how do I change primary email address. Of course I won.t be able to receive any responses because my primary email address no longer exist. I.m curious why Paypal will not let me change my address on the profile page.

I found a resolution to this problem. I had been using Chrome when I had the same problem as you. I had to go to the Paypal website from Internet Explorer. Then you can go into your account settings and add a new e-mail address and go through the process of confirming it. At that point you can click on the edit button for the NON-primary email address and it will take you to the edit page where there is a box you can check to make it your primary address. Click on that box and then you can go back and delete the old primary address. Hope this helps. Worked for me.

I can't remember my security questions and when I have them sent to my email it's the wrong email address. I can't figure out how to change that email address. It's not the same as the one I have on my account.

I'm trying to change my security questions because I forgot them. When I have them sent to me via email it's going to a diiferent email. I can't figure out how to change that email that the security questions are connected to. It's not the one that I can Edit on my Account.

You need to contact Apple to get the questions reset. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

Need help on switching my password recovery email because it is sending to my old email. Anyone know how to do this?

Hi Krebbo,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what the nature of your issue is. If you are talking about changing the Apple ID that your iPhone currently uses for services like the iTunes Store, you may find the following article helpful:

How to change iCloud email address?

Hi,
when my brother-in-law set up his wife's iPad he used her current e-mail address as her appleID.

How can I delete this iCloud e-mail address and set up a new iCloud e-mail address?

HT201342 How to change the email addressed issued to me?

I want a different icloud address than what was issued to me. How do I change it?

You can't. You automatically get the same address @icloud.com as you chose for @me.com.
You can either setup an alias with your desired address (if available), or create a whole new iCloud account attached to a new AppleID.
