HT204053 Apple ID no longer recognised since e-mail address changed

I recently changed my apple ID email address to a new one and a verification email wasn't sent to either of the two addresses. Now I can't sign in as neither are recognised. How can I reset my account? The Apple site does not recognise me anymore.
[email protected] (original e-mail)
[email protected] (preferred and new e-mail)
Regards
Paul
PS
My "Me" account works fine but no purchase information from iTunes can be transferred.

Contact support for a password reset. After the reset, make the necessary changes on your old account.

I no longer have the e-mail address associated with an Apple ID. I do not know the password for that account, nor are the security questions correct (e.g. it asked my birth date, but, when I listed it, I was told it was not correct). I have no way to get into the program, to correct an information. How do I delete this account and start anew?

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. 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 iPhone on your device. Then 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. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

I have an old Apple ID connected to a discontinued e-mail address. I want to delete it. I cannot remember my password and when I try to change the password using the security questions, it rejects my birth date! I can't change it by cancelled e-mail.

I have an old Apple ID associated with a discontinued e-mail address. It keeps popping up when I try to update apps. I don't remember the password. When I try to change it by security questions, it rejects my birthdate! I can't change it by e-mail because I no longer have access to the e-mail. All I really want to do is cancel this old ID. How can I do this? Obviously, I have a new ID, since I am using this support community.

You'll have to contact iTunes store support to see if they can help you with this: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...

When I updated to OS 5.0 my old apple id which was not an e-mail address won't work anymore, how can I fix this?

There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's. Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

Contacting Other Apple Discussions Members Who Have No E-mail Address

Hello All;
How do we contact other Apple Discussions members who have no e-mail address or contact information in their public profile listing? Some years ago, I was able to do this in the Apple Discussion Boards. There used to be a 'send e-mail to this person' icon in the profiles listings.
Thank you.

If they are active in a thread you are watching, you can reply to them and ask them to e-mail you. Be careful though, these boards are public, and can be scanned by "bots" that belong to spammers. Do not use the @ symbol in your e-mail address, and instead use the word AT to represent that symbol. That at least will spoof the "bots."
I don't think that works any more, nor does using "DOT" in place of the symbol. It is better to create a graphic of "name at site dot domain" and then just paste that in where you want to put your email address. Of course, it is easier to do that on a web page then it is to do it here.

My husband was helping our daughter set up an apple id. She entered her e-mail address incorrectly, but didn't realize it until AFTER they had entered a credit card number. How can we cancel the incorrect e-mail address account?

iMac model?
Mac OS version?
Both can be viewed fby doing "About this Mac" from the Apple menu at the left end of the menubar. The OS version will be pretty obvious; posting what the window says about your processor will help us figure out what model.
I ask becasue about 60 percent of the posts here are about newer models than the pre-2006 iMacs this forum serves.
Not your fault if you found the wrong forum--Apple's labeling is as clear as mud!

Several weeks ago I was forced to change my Apple ID when my e-mail address changed. I spent several hours resetting all of my devices. The new ID seems to be recognized everywhere except when I'm asked to enter it for app on my computer.

Several weeks ago I was forced to change my Apple ID when my e-mail address changed. I spent several hours on the phone with a tech resetting all of my devices. The new ID seems to be recognized everywhere except when I'm asked to enter it for app upgrades on my Mac-Pro (10.8.5). When I'm asked to sign in there, the old e-mail address is still shown and I'm unable to change it. Suggestions?

I was forced to change my Apple ID when my e-mail address changed.
There is no such requirement.
You have created an additional Apple-ID, which is different from the one under which you purchased Items from The Mac App Store.
Go back, log in under the OLD Apple-ID and Add an additional email Address there instead.
Apple does not yet have a convenient way of combining Apple-IDs.

If I need to have some official letter (or e-mail)from apple technical service, what is the e-mail address?

For official letter from apple technical support, what is e-mail the address?
I have some case to prove from apple official opinion.
Please let me know.. I try to find that in whole apple site, I couldn't

Okay we're sorta making progress. Barely.
I chatted with someone from support based on your suggestion and she was able to disconnect my AppleID and primary e-mail address.
My "primary e-mail address" on the AppleID site is now listed as my @me.com account.
However, it's asking me to verify it, but no matter how many times I click the "resend verification e-mail" link, nothing has shown up.
If I try to change it to an alternate e-mail, like my @bellsouth.net account, clicking "save" to save those settings does nothing, and it reverts back to @me.com
Nothing at all gets through to my mac.com account.
This is especially troubling since I updated to Mountain Lion this morning. One of the first programs I used, Messages, asked me to verify my AppleID by checking my @mac.com e-mail.
What a headache.

I need to update my Apple ID to reflect my new e-mail address, but seem to have created a whole new Apple ID instead. Please help!

Hi- not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I'm hoping to merge my two Apple ID's, or at least get rid of the new one that isn't linked to either of my devices. I seem to have my old Apple ID, that is linked to my Iphone 4 and Mac Book Pro, Itunes etc. And my NEW Apple ID, with the correct e-mail address, that isn't linked to anything. I have tried to change my Apple ID by managing my account, but it won't let me change the e-mail address as the correct address is already being used. Please help, anyone!
Thank you,
Julie.

Hi Julie, I have the same issue (except to complicate matters even further the .me address I'd like to keep is an alias) and have spent over an hour on the 'Express Support' chat tonight; where I've been told that to date Apple will not merge two accounts and if you choose to delete one account, that .me address/ID will never be available again ... I did ask if this was something Apple were looking at changing, but was told:
"Once an @me.com email address is created once it is used forever. To create an account you would have to use an email address that would have never been used before. I wish there was a way for us to do that, however there is not. The only way to free up an @me.com email address would be if we recycled accounts and we currently are not doing that."
Crystal, the support technician, then went on to state:
"When you remove an alias from an account that permanently deletes it and makes it unable to be used again on that account it was deleted from or on another account."
followed (after my attempts at suggesting various work-arounds) by:
"Merging of Apple IDs is something that we are unable to do. There are a series of Apple Discussion Boards stating this as other customers discuss not be able to merge their IDs also. If you click on Frequently asked questions at this link, it also states that we cannot merge IDs: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895"
Bless Crystal, she really did try to help, but this looks like an option we'll just have to wait for! Hope this makes sense ...

`created 2 Apple account, one with non existent E-mail address. How can i delete my fake Apple account?

Hi,
Did some non sense out of ignorance.Created 2 Apple ID account, one with non existent mail. It suddenly coming back to haunt me. Till now everything was ok, was dowlinding lots of apps, music... Now it suddenly swichted to the fake e-mail adress, i'm totally bloqued.
How can i delete this second useless account?

Hello,
You don't need access to the email address to log in to the Apple ID and you can change the email if required.
Assuming you don't need it for any services, as you can't actually delete an Apple ID, log in here (link) and remove all personal details from the page and then cease using that account.

Canon XM2 no longer recognised since upgrade to Leopard

Can someone please help me understand why my Canon XM2 (PAL GL2), which worked perfectly under 10.4), is no longer being recognised in Leopard??? I've got an urgent job to complete this weekend and couldn't even get the footage off my camera last evening!
Help most gratefully received!

I tried uninstalling and upgrading to quicktime 7.3 last night again. I've tried both Firewire PAL DV and Basic. When I fire up FCP it says the camera is not detected (even though it's on and connected and viewable in the system profiler). If I click "Check Again" it clears the dialogue and goes through.
If I then click "Log and Capture" I get the Capture window pane come up but it says "Preview Disabled". In the status it says [VTR OK] for about 15 seconds before changing to [No Communication]. If during that 15 seconds I press Play in the capture window it DOES start the camera (but nothing is displayed). If I press Stop, it only pauses it (doesn't actually perform a Stop). Then it goes to [No Communication] and there's nothing else I can do.
I just want to reiterate that this was working perfectly in Tiger before I upgraded. I can't say it's definitely Leopard which has induced the problem but it's looking very likely.
Thanks again everyone for all your suggestions. I am trying everything you throw at me
