HT204053 How can I change an email that already used as Apple ID?

Follow the question.When first time I've sign up for an Apple ID.I used email from Hotmail for registration.After that I got @me.com address and when I try to change an email from Hotmail to @me(now is @icloud.com).It's said I can't use email @me.com as Apple ID coz it was Apple ID already.
So the question is how I can change it?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't change the @me.com address associated with your Apple ID, but you can create an alias.

  • I changed my email address on one of my old APPLE accounts and want to merge my accounts together, how can I change my email address on my old Apple account?

    I changed my email address on one of my old APPLE accounts and want to merge my accounts together so I can get all my songs!!  My computer crashed and I'm tryng to change everything over to my mac via my ipod classic and just Transfer old files.  It's ejecting my disc (ipod) so I figured I could just change my old Apple ID to be one with my new one.
    how can I change my email address on my old Apple account?

    There is no way to merge two Apple IDs as all purchases made with each account are always tied to those accounts.
    All you can do to each account is change the email address for each one but they can't have the same email address.

    How can i change my credit card info for my apple id

    On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View My Account (Store > View My Apple ID on iTunes 11) menu option and logging into it.  If you are doing it on your iPhone then you could try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup, and try changing it from there

  • HT204053 How can  i change my email in iCloud

    I want to change my email in iCloud

    You can not change your primary iCloud me.com email address (See also: "Apple FAQ - Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs cannot be renamed.") but you could create a new account or create up to three email aliases for your existing account.
    Try this to create a new alias for your me.com address:
    Open the web interface of iCloud "www.icloud.com" with Safari on your Mac or PC
    Log in
    Open "Mail"
    Open "Preferences" (by clicking on the little button in the upper right corner)
    Go to "Accounts"
    Click on "Add an alias" (it would be another me.com address, you can not create new mac.com addresses since MobileMe was launched)

  • I can't change my email that's used to send reset security info to

    I recently got the newest iPod Touch in blue for my birthday but I can't buy anything that's not free. It always says: "You need to enter your password and answer the security questions." or something like that but I can't remember the answers to them and I can't reset because I've entered the email wrong (I put .couk instead of .co.uk) and I was wondering if anyone knew how to change that email because I've tried everything I can think of and I can't seem to find a way.

  • How can I change my email on the cloud if that email no longer exists

    How can I change my email on my iCloud if the old email no longer exists

    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 it back to your old email address and save the change (you don't need to verify the address).  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud), and use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID.   Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    If you mean for your email account in the mail app, go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Delete Account. Then tap Add Account and enter the new information.
    I get the feeling that you are really asking about something else.

    How can I change the email address associated with my iCloud account?

    When my iPhone updated, it reloaded an old email address as my iCloud address and I don't know the password associated with that email address.  How do I delete the old account and set up a new one with my new email?
    To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  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 iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished 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.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

    You might want to rethink your thoughts about making transferring authority easier.  Making it too easy would certainly degrade your account's security.  If you still believe it should be easier, you can send feedback directly to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    You will not get a response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people will see your input for consideration in FaceTime product development.

  • HT4436 How can I change my email address? Help?

    It appears I have a similar email address to someone and we keep receiving each others mail - so how can I change my email address?

    Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
    However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
    You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account, and if it has @mac.com or @me.com versions these cannot be reinstated once deleted.
    More information on aliases here:
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
    However all this won't stop you receiving emails at the primary address: but you can set up a Rule to move all such messages to the Trash. Go to the Mail page at http://icloud.com and click on the cogwheel icon at bottom left: choose 'Rules'.
