HT201356 I can't change the primary email associated with my ipod touch

my apple account has my primary address but I cannot change the primary address associated with my ipod touch. Any suggestions?

Without knowing what haooens wehn yu try:
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

  • Can I change the primary email associated with my icloud account

    Can I change my primary email address associated with iCloud? Not the icloud address but the one you log in with. I had to switch email addresses because my email got hacked and I just paid for 25g of memory in icloud. I just want to change my email address but keep the same account so I keep the storage space I just paid for, so I can't just delete the account and open a new one.

    You can if it isn't an @me.com, @mac.com or an @icloud.com address.  To do this go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change the address to the one you want to use and verify the address.  Then tap Edit next to the ID name and change it to be the same as your new address.
    Then you'll need to make this change on your devices.  To change it on your iOS devices, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the renamed ID.  To change it on your Mac, go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the renamed ID.  If you have a PC, do this on the iCloud control panel for Windows.

    can i change the current email adress with a different one and still keep my purchases?

    You can change your email address as much as you want in your support profile: https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    Purchases are linked to your Apple ID, not your email address. They are not necessarily identical.

    Hello pscorning1,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If you have already changed the information associated with your current Apple ID (*not* created an entirely new Apple ID), you may find the following article about updating the various Apple ID services helpful:

  • HT204053 How can I change the iCloud id associated with my iPad?

    How can I change the iCloud ID associated with my iPad?

    To change the ID for:
    iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
    FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    iTunes, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
    iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you want to use.  This will delete the account and iCloud data from your phone but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a new account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  However, if you are setting up a new account with a new ID, when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPad, then choose Merge when you sign into the new account to upload your data. 

  • Can I change the Apple ID associated with a serial number?

    I just purchased an iPad 1 used. The previous owner had its serial number registered under his Apple ID. Does anyone know how to change the apple ID associated with a serial number? On my iPad I am the apple user associated with the device. I am not the associated Apple ID on the Apple website.

    Here is the Apple product registration web site.
    https://register.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/GlobaliReg.woa
    If you have the receipt for the device, it really doesn't matter to whom the device is registered. The warranty is tied to the device, not the owner of the device so the warranty effectively transfers when you buy the iPad from the previous owner.
    Here is the site where you can check to see how long the warranty is still good for.
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Actually, I think all you need is the serial number if you need warranty service and it doesn't matter who owns the iPad at the time that service or warranty issues arise.

  • Can we change the Apple ID associated with a particular app?

    How do I change the Apple ID associated with a particular app?

    Why do you want/need to do that?

  • I have some apps on my iPad that were installed using an old apple ID. They can't be updated because the old ID is no longer valid. How can I change the apple ID associated with these apps?

    I installed some apps using an apple I'd that is no longer active. I can't update them because it asks for the password of the old I'd instead of the I'd I currently use. How can I change the apple I'd associated with these apps? I still want to use them. One app I paid for using the old I'd. The other app is free. I have already tried deleting them and reinstalling them.

    If you simply just changed the email associated with that appleid you can just delete and Re-download the apps.
    You can verify  the above step by going to the App Store on device > Updates>Purchased - if you see the app there just delete it from the home screen and redownload from the purchased section
    Now if you got rid of that account entirely, you will have to delete and re-purchase on your new account

  • How can I change the iCloud account associated with my iphone

    I changed my e-mail address a few months ago including changing my Apple ID to reflect my new e-mail. For some reason, my iphone and my ipad are both stuck with the iCloud username of my old e-mail address. When I try to delete these accounts like other forums have indicated to do, it won't let me because every password possible comes up as invalid and the "forgot password" e-mail never comes. I was wondering if there was a way to delete the icloud account associated with my old e-mail without having a password and replacing it with the updated iCloud information.

    if for some reason your old iCloud account does not accpte or you do not remember your password, you can try this:

  • How do you change the apple id associated with an ipod?

    Have an apple ipod touch and just got an ipad.  want to link them; however, the apple id that is used on the ipod is also being used by another ipod.  I have a separate id for the ipad.  How can I change the one ipod to match the ipad?

    Yu do not need seperate Apple iD for different iDevices.  ITunes purchases are locked to the Apple iD?iTunes account that purchased them.  You can go to Settings>Store and log out of one account and log into another.

  • How can I change my Primary E-mail account on Ipod touch?

    I only have 2 emails both have the same name only the end is different 1) @aol.com 2) @icloud.com.  My primary e-mail address was always @aol.com and now it is on @icloud.com.  I just need to know how I can change my Primary E-Mail  account to be AOL again.  Does it have anything to do with when I charge my ipod?  Sometime I charge it to My Computer and other times to icloud.  Also does the e-mail account have anything to do with the Primary Server for my mail.

    - Just what do you mean by prinary email account? Maybe this will help
    Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID
    - It has nothing to do with charging your iPod. Yu said " Sometime I charge it to My Computer and other times to icloud.". What do you mean chargiing to iCloud?
    - Each mail account uses in Settings>Mail has a primary server for sending mail and that server is the server associated with that account. Secondard sending servers are other ssending servers for other mail account yo have ins Settings>Mail

  • How can I change the user ID associated with a Unix numerical ID?

    I acquired a used MacMini.  I changed the home directory name and display name but when I use ls -l (in Terminal) I still see the former owner's Unix name.  Is there some way to edit the MacOSX equivalent of the old /etc/passwd so that the numerical used ID maps to my name?  I found a reference to OpenLDAP and Directory Services but nothing too helpful.
    TIA

    This may not be the last thing you have to do, but....
    System Preferences -> Users & Groups (or if an older system "Accounts").
    Click on the Padlock in the lower left corner, enter you admin password.
    Control-Click on the desired account
    Select "Advanced Options..." from the popup
    Pay close attention to the warnings, as you can totally screw up your Mac.  In fact, do you have a full bootable clone backup (SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner)?  If not, stop now and go make one.
    Change the Account name field.
    Change the Home Directory field to match your new home directory.
    DO NOT MESS with UUID, and I would strongly suggest not changing your User ID, as all your files are currently owned by that User ID, and it is a pain to find and change the ownership of all your files.
    I suggest you logout and login.  Then if things do not look right, reboot.  If you have cron jobs, chances are they will be tighed to the old name, and a who bunch of other things might have stuff tied to the old name, so this is one of those things that may go wrong after you change your username.
    Again, this may not be the only thing you need to change.

    Hello holleman,
    I got some GREAT news for you! You can have your mobile number changed, gain access to your account online, and keep the tenured status of the account in tact! The first task we would want to resolve is online access. Once you are able to login online at My Verizon then you can perform a mobile telephone number change online and it's absolutely free! You can even reset the voice mail password online as well! If you need assistance with gaining access to the account online then feel free to send me a direct message with your full name, mobile number, and a brief summary of the issue and we can get this done for you!
    Thank you...
