I am trying to change my primary address for it has been compromised. The email address I am trying to change it to is my "rescue" email address. How do I change my primary email address to my rescue email address? can I delete my rescue email address so I can use it as my primary?

You will have to delete your rescue email address first, then go back and change your primary.

You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
Navigate to My Apple ID 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.
Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

Change the primary email address

I want to change the primary email address of skype. When I did this change on the skype webpage, a box was popped up for the password. I input it and clicked the save button, but this box stayed there.
Solved!

Dear Readers,
As Sunqan wrote, above, we here in the Community can not restore account access, and neither can anyone here change or update any Skype accountholder's account details or information. Please contact Skype Customer Service directly.
Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
Skype is aware of continued website problems, however if you start with temporarily enabling website scripts and pop-up dialogue boxes, that may help. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented.
Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
Last and not least, when you reach the last step of the process, remember to click on the "Start Chat" link when you are provided the choice of visiting the Community or starting an instant message chat with a customer service agent.
Topic now closed.
Regards,
Elaine

Mail -- How can I change the default email account from which my messages go, without having to change it each time I draft a message? It currently assumes an email account that I rarely use. Thanks.

I do not know the log in details and no longer have that icloud email address !!
please help :-(

That's Activation Lock. You will need to remember the Apple ID and password you used to set up the phone.
If you can't remember them, you can go to iforgot.apple.com to try to recover the information.
If you are the original owner of the phone & have proof of purchase, you can try calling Apple to see if they can assist also.

I do not have the option to do that as there is no icloud preference pane, there is only a mobile me preference pane.
the ssystem is recent, 10.7.0 or a bit higher.
the computer switched from my wifes address book to my address book becuase it was set up to my iclud account (it was my computer for a short time).
she has a back up on icloud but i cannot switch the account from the computer anywhere.
You need at least 10.7.2, check that you do have that, 10.7 is insufficient. Post back with your OSX version.

Hi Lior,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you need to change the primary email address associated with your Apple ID.
You can use these steps to change your Apple ID to your new email address:
In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. You can change your Apple ID to any other email address you control, as long as it's not already being used and doesn't end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
Use these steps to reset your Apple ID:
Sign out of iCloud, the iTunes Store, App Store, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Find My iPhone, and iMessage on each device that uses your current Apple ID for these services.
Go to My Apple ID.
Select Manage your Apple ID and sign in. Forgot your password?
Select Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID, then select Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now. Didn't receive the email?
When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your new Apple ID email address and password. When you see a message that verification is complete, you can start using your updated Apple ID.
Remember to update the features and services that you use with Apple ID.

All the best,

You can check if you are using it on any of your iTunes account by logging into each account via this page and seeing it it shows as an alternate or rescue email address on them : https://appleid.apple.com
But there isn't a page that you can go to and see if, or on which account, a particular email address is used.
