HT201342 how do i change the recovery email from apple id
hello i recently got a macbook pro and i was about to buy an app fro the app store and a menu showed up saying that since it was the first time i was buying an app in a macbook i needed to answer some security questions and i did, i unfortunately only remember one of the questions, so i was unable to buy the app and i was directed to apple website.
i was asked to resend an email to an email account i am not able to access fro some reason, now i dont remember neither the question nor the password for the account im sending the backup account information to.

My laptop has FileVault turned on. I remember a Recovery Key was created for me but I can't find it. I do know the log in password for my computer so I am not locked out. How would I obtain the Recovery Key should I need it?

I forgot the answers to my security questions. When I go to the link for help remembering my security questions it sends the email to an email address that is not mine. And I don't know how to make it send to one of the two correct email addresses I have entered. Any suggestions?
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

My rescue email is a deleted email and i have no idea what the answers are to my security questions… what do I do? How do I change the rescue email?
You will need to contact Apple support. You can use the link in the quote below from If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions - Apple Support
If you couldn't send a reset email, don't have a rescue email address, or can't access email at your rescue email address, contact Apple Support. -
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.
sorry, but I can't find the mail preference in the latest Yosemite OS. Do you know where I can find it?
Thank you

i have updated my iphone 5s to iOS8 but it has my old icloud account, how can i change the icloud email address as i can not get passed this page??
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.

How do i change the icloud email address on the iphone
How do I change the icloud email address on the iphone 4?
If that is your situation, then you need to do the following:
1. Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the old email address (this is temporary)
2. You do not need to verify that old address since it is only temporary
3. On your iPhone, go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom and click on Delete Account to delete the old iCloud account. It will ask for your password - type in your current Apple ID password
4. Go back to Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID back to the new email address
5. Go back to the Phone to Settings>iCloud and sign on to iCloud with your new Apple ID
