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)

  • My sister changed our primary apple ID email address and now it wont let me log into iTunes on my phone. How can I fix this?

    My sister changed our primary AppleID email address to her email so now I can't log into my iTunes account on my phone. I tired syncing my iphone to my mac and it wont even sync anymore. We share the same account. Is there a way to fix this?

    Hello Alexandra,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iCloud on your devices after updating your Apple ID.  I recommend the following steps:
    Symptoms
    iOS 7 may ask for the password to your previous Apple ID when you sign out of iCloud.
    Resolution
    1. Use your current Apple ID password
    Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
    2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

  • HT1688 Hello, my husband and myself share an email address.  Therefore all of our iCloud information goes to each others devices.  How can we fix this problem so that we both have seperate i Cloud accounts now that this is already established?

    Hello, my husband and myself use the same e mail address.  When I signed up for the icloud with an update, it combined all of our information on both of our iPhones.  How can I get these two phones and information seperate again? 
    Thank you

    Get separate IDs
    RECEIVING MESSAGES INTENDED FOR OTHER DEVICES
    This occurs if you are sharing the same Apple ID for imessages.
    If you are receiving imessages intended for other devices you can fix this by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
    Uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both devices if they are iPhones; or
    On one of the devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID.  Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for the iTunes & App store for purchasing if you wish; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and other services.
    To prevent merging of your calendars and contacts when syncing calendars and contacts if you are using the same Apple ID for the iCloud account, be sure to set up separate iCloud accounts on each phone with separated IDs.  Remember that if you change your ID in iTunes & App store, that apps and other purchased content is  forever linked to the ID that was used to download the apps and the apps  can only be updated with the ID that was originally used to download them.  To download content purchased previously downloaded with a particular ID then that ID needs to be used to download past purchases.  If you want all apps to be connected with the same ID you need to delete those apps downloaded with the old ID and download them again with your current and if the apps in question were paid apps then you need to pay again.

  • HT5312 what if I only have one email address and I cant use a rescue email address

    is any one out there
    this is not worth it, I have about 5 different windows open and still havent gotten an answer to a simple question

    There are people here, but we are just fellow users on these forums, and it's not 'live chat'
    If you only have one email address then you won't be able to set a rescue email address as it needs to be different to the main address on your account. You should be able to create a free email account via gmail, hotmail etc.

  • I no longer have access to the email address that is stipulated as my rescue email address and I cannot remember the answers to my security questions. Please advise how I go about changing / updating the answers to the security questions.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
    4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
    Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue.  Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
    Try:
    Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
    Make separate backups of critical data:
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
    Hope that helps.

    when trying to update my app's, apple id password comes up with my email address in it (not my apple id) so it won't except my password, how can i change this. 

    All apps are tied to the Apple ID they are purchased with and is not transferable.
    Delete app and download app with your new Apple ID.

  • I cut and pasted a description from the Internet. It posted as a link in iPhoto. It seems to have made a global change--all my descriptions are now blue, underlined, and Times Roman 12 rather than Arial white. How can I get this back to the default?

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.

  • My FaceTime isn't working properly. Every call I make a black dot appears on the camera in the middle (fixed onto the screen, and is not dirt), and the calls always fail. It would ring 6 times and then say call failed. How can I fix this?

    If FaceTime ever worked properly for you, restarting your modem (and separate router/wireless if you have such) may help.  If the problem continues, try connecting at a different location to see if the problem is within your wi-fi.
    The black dot problem may mean you need to reset your iPod.  If that does not help, it may need service by an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

  • I sent out an email to a group of 5 and addressed it to myself- it appears to have gone to my whole contact list- how can I sort this please

    I sent out an email to a group of 5 and addressed it to myself- it appears to have gone to my whole contact list- how can I sort this please?

    Nope, not strange at all. No system should try to be all things to all people. 
    Actually, there is a way to do this:  After creating a group message, save the conversation and add new messages it when necessary.
    If you want to suggest someting to Apple, post it here:
