Would I be able to change my email address on my account to a old email address on an apple id I used to use?

I want to change my email address on my original apple id. But it says I can't because the email I want to change it to is being used. So i went onto the account and changed the email address to something different but It still marks it as used. Is there a way that can be changed?

The question is, did you change the email address in your existing Apple ID or did you make a new Apple ID with the new email address. if you made a new Apple ID, then you messed up. The content (free & bought) is forever tied to the Apple ID that acquired it. Onlt that Apple ID can update or redownload the content. If you made a new Apple ID you will not be able to update any of the content from the previous Apple ID unless you maintain that Apple ID. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another ID and Apple does not merge Apple IDs.

Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID

I want to delete an ICloud account with an inactive email address as the Apple id

I have an icloud apple id which is a disabled email address, I would like to delete it but I am stuck in a continual loop requesting a password for the Old ID. I cannot access the email address to reset the password and I cannot delete the ICloud Account from the device

No. Deleting the iCloud account on your phone merely deletes the account, nothing more. If you sync contacts/calendars with iCloud, you'll be given the option to keep on your phone.

I want to create and add a new iCloud email address to current apple id

I've just gotten married and want to create a new iCloud email reflecting my new name, and then add it to my current iCloud account. Is this possible??

HT5312 what if i did not put an optional resue email address when my apple id was made but have money on it but dont know my security questions so im not able to use te money?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
If you are in a region that doesn't have int

You will need to remove the address as your rescue email address first, which you can do by logging into your account via http://appleid.apple.com, selecting the Password & Security section and answering the security questions.
Changing rescue email address : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
You can then try putting it as your primary email address, which you can do either via that site, by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your phone and logging into, or via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes. If you don't do it directly on your phone you might then need to log out of your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version.

HT4484 app store account see my daughter email address not mine.

my daughter took over our shared itune account. I created and can see a new account in itunes and iCloud reset 4s, but my macbook pro app store account see her email address not mine. I did us my old email address. how do i change the app store acount information to my account?

You can sign into the Apple Services using either the Apple ID (is this the "primary email" address on my apple id account?)
the iCloud email address (is this [email protected]?)
or your associated address (other associated email addresses that I verified on my apple id account?),
In your case the Apple ID and primary address are [email protected] The iCloud email address or alternate address in your case is [email protected] and associated addresses are iCloud email aliases, I don't know if you have created any of these.
but it will show you logged in as using the Apple ID. (which apple id?, what will display?)*
* for me it displays the [email protected] for find my iphone, imessage and facetime, but NOT itunes/store
Yes with some things like FaceTime and Messages you can send and receive in any of the addresses you have related to your Apple ID, but it will always list your Apple ID as [email protected]

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc.

I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?, I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?

I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?, I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ? I don't want to create another one if I really don't need to
Any ideas ?

I'm afraid that once an address has been associated with an Apple ID you can't re-use it in any way. You will have to create another address (such as a free on from GMail or Yahoo for example).

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
Your move Apple, make it count.

Hi Sister Kate,
If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

I created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID?

I have created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address as the primary email address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID right?
I'm not good with computers so please explain in simple way...:)
I also wonder what the best way is to set up accounts for children in a family. I dont want them to be able to purchase apps etc through the parents accounts, also some things we like to share as a family and others we don't want to share. Is there any good. clear, simple explanation from Apple Support about these issues? Or best to go to Apple store and go to genius bar or one to one advise?
thanks

You can set up an iCloud account which makes the iCloud email address you choose the Apple ID and thus the login for it:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348
though I have to say I think it's more sensible if the ID is another address, both for security reasons (so people don't know what the login is) and as a contact address from Apple if the account were to stop working and they needed to contact you. So personally I would to to System Preferences, enter the GMail address which is an ID, and then choose a nerw @icloud.com address.
If she has her own iCloud account she will need either her own computer or her own user account on your Mac to be able to make use of it. You should note that under Apple's terms of use Apple IDs are only available to children of 13 and over.
As to purchasing apps, this is nothing to do with iCloud: it's iTunes, and the login can be different. So you can all sign into the same iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts. Or she can have her own iTunes account if she is of suitable age (credit card needed for purchasing apps).
If you have other children you should be aware that any one Mac or device can create only three iCloud accounts - this is tied to the serial number, not the user account, and once reached cannot be bypassed. You can of course sign into an iCloud account created on another device.

You can't merge accounts, if you start using the gmail account for iCloud by logging out of the me ID in system preferences and back in using the gmail ID, you'll need to copy all your data in calendars etc to the gmail account. you also won't be able to use the me address for mail unless you add the me account as a secondary account at system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars.

I want to change my primary email address

I wan to change my btinternet primary email address to another one, either my sub account address or a new one. I don't mind which. I've been trying for 9 days now to have this done, and BT keep saying they'll do it but they haven't.
Has anyone else tried to do this and if so have they actually succeeded in getting a new primary email address?
Thanks
Solved!

Hi harrybeadlebaum
Thank you for your reply it is much appreciated.
Basically I want to change my primary email address as I've changed my surname following separation from my husband, and don't want any association with my old name which it was. I wish it was only spam I want to get rid of. Yes, you're right, I'm using webmail not outlook or similar.
Unfortunately I've already begun the long and tortuous process of getting my primary email address changed and am now on day 9 of frustrating emails, telephone calls with the call centre in India (or somewhere) Each time I talk to someone they assure me it will be done in 24 hours, 48 hours, by the end of the day..... I expect this sounds familiar to you if you've been there? Your comment about a breakdown in communication is perhaps an understatement! I've come to the conclusion they fully understand what I want but just aren't interested in seeing it through. All they want to know at the end of the phone call is if I'm happy with how they've dealt with my call. Well yes I am at the time, as they understand what I want, relay back to me what I want, but don't actually deliver. Promises, promises, promises.
I've now lodged a formal complaint to BT and am sure I'll get the usual responses about process, systems, blah blah blah...
Sigh. As you may guess I'm absolutely fizzing about it all!! I've already wasted hours of my life chasing it, just can't stop though - don't give up!! However, am pleased to know that someone has got it done, so I'll just keep trying and boy is it trying....
Rant over, I'll let everyone know how I get on!
