I have been trying to change my Apple password. They are asking me "security"
questions and I am answerng them correctly yet they tell me that my answer don't match their information. They know nothing about me so how do they know what the correct info is? How does one deal with this? Thanksthe ?'s were setup when account was created or modified. you can select the email authentication method to change password at iforgot.apple.com
or call apple at 1-800-694-7466 and ask for account security
Peace, Clyde -
I am trying to change my Apple ID. Try to do this I keep getting an error message saying ‘This email address is designated as your rescue email address and cannot be used as your Apple ID or Primary email address. Please choose another.’ The email address that I want to use did use to be my recovery email but I have changed it, so that address is no lonegr associated with my account. I do not understand why I cannot use it as my Apple ID now. Can anyone help?

Hi,
I'm trying to change email address on my Apple ID since the email registered for the account has been hacked and I can't access it anymore. The email I want to change to is connected to another Apple ID I created about 4 years ago, though I successfully changed the email on that account as well. So the email I would like to use for my main Apple ID shouldn't be "locked" anymore.
Though, when trying to change the email on my Apple ID I get an error message (in Swedish, so this is a direct translate from google): "This e-mail address is your email address for notification. It can not be used as the Apple ID or primary email. Choose a different address."
I'm not really sure what this means or how I can fix this. The email address is connected to my Ipad and Iphone for the email app, can that have anything to do with it?
If it makes any difference, I updated both my Ipad3 and Iphone4 to ios 7 today. I'm trying to change from my Macbook air though.
Please advise, would really appreciate a reply ASAP.caek1 wrote:

It means exactly what it says... The email Address is in Use. You cannot re-use it.

I have an iphone 4 and an ipod touch on the same apple ID. My daughter who uses the ipod tried to change the apple ID on the ipod to be the same with her apple ID on her own Iphone so that she can use facetime on both devices. Not sure what she did but my 3G connection is no longer working.
Changing Facetime settings on an iPod will have no affect on cellular settings on an iPhone. Something else is going on there. If she did not change any settings on the phone, then nothing she did could affect your celluar 3G.

I am trying to change my apple id Country. but it says " you have a store credit balance, you must spend your balance before you can change it." i don't wanna spend it to change my country. by the way i can't update any of iPhone apps. need help
It's strange because I can change my AppleID country without this message.
So what to do? Just try to do this again, but on another device. You may also erase cookies and history of your browser.
I hope it will be helpful, good luck! -
I am trying to change the country/ region on my store account. When I press the 'change country/region' section in 'my account' it does nothing.... I have moved country, so I cannot enter valid details of payment and so the store is refusing all app requests.
Has anyone a way around this please?Before you can change countries in iTunes, you will need to have a valid payment information addressed in Ireland. When you have one, you can go ahead and change the country on your account.
- sign in to iTunes
- go to Account Information page
- enter your Apple Id and password
- click on Change country or Region
- enter your new information then save
If you will have a hard time, I suggest contacting email support.

I am trying to change my Apple ID on my iPad from an old work email address to a new personal address. I have changed it on my new iPad and in FaceTime but can't get it to work in iTunes. Any ideas?
If they are no longer in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, the tap Save to Camera Roll).

I have tried to changed my Apple ID and every time I try to use the new Apple ID it won't let me because when i try to update an app the old ID comes up to sign in. I deleted that account so it will not let me use my new one.
Content and Apple IDs -
Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple Id to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with another Apple ID with a new ID. -

I am trying to change the Apple ID on my I phone and my Wife's I phone. Is it possible to keep our contacts, calander, and photos by doing this? We do not care about our music or apps. Is this possible?
Photos should be copied to the computer and synced back via iTunes. They are unrelated to the Apple ID unless you are using PhotoStream.
Depending on how the contacts are synced the the device, chaging the Apple ID may wipe them.
Why do you want to change the Apple ID? If it's an email address change, simply change the email associated with the Apple ID. Do NOT create a new Apple ID. -

i have been trying to change my apple id to my new email address and it says i cant as the id is in use what do i do
If your new email address is an Apple-related email account (e.g., Mobileme account), you will get the 'email is already in use' message. If this is the case, you cannot consolidate your old Apple ID with your new one. I (and many others) have ran into this same issue.
If this is indeed the cause of your problem, I recommend that you start using your new Apple ID exclusively. If you made a considerable number of purchases under your old Apple ID (i.e., through iTunes), you will still have to log in under your old ID for that account.
Hopefully, one day Apple will allow us to consolidate accounts.
I hope this helps.
