HT5312 i want order to make rescue eamil address for my apple id

i want oreder to make rescue email address for my apple id

I'm trying to do the same but this doesn't seem to work. For some reason the email address I want to use as my primary is still associated to the account, although it is not listed as either the primary or an alternate address (it was until just now my rescue email address).
Any ideas how to change a primary email address - e.g similar to most other applications along the lines of a button/link next to said email address that says "make primary" (seriously it can't be that hard!)

  • Hey I have a problem. I want to change my rescue email address as somehow apple has the wrong one but I don't know my security questions - but you need one to change the other. Any help?

    You can get your Security Questions reset by contacting iTunes Support at either of the two links below. Select the best options for your issue, or provide specific information. Let them know you are contacting them concerning Forgotten Security Questions. They will get back to you via your primary email address, usually within 24 hours. Once your Security Questions have been reset, you will be able to go in and reset your Rescue email address on your account:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/
    or by email:

  • How do I figure out the rescue email address for my Apple ID?

    I can't remember my answers and I can't remember what my rescue email is how can I figure that out?

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

  • Why can't I change my rescue email address for my apple ID account?

    The email address I would like to use as my current rescue email address used to be my alternative email address.  I switched my alternate email address, but it still won't let me set it as my current rescue email address.  It is an icloud account.  When I did the same thing with my gmail account (took it off the alternate and changed it to the rescue) it worked.  Is it just the icloud account that doesn't work? My gmail acccount used to be an alternate address too.

  • HT5312 i didn't give a rescue email address when i first made my account and now i can't figure out how to make one

    i didnt make a rescue email address straight away and now i cant figure out how to make one

    There are instructions for how to do edit or delete it (and you can add one via the same process) half-way down the page that you posted from :
    You can edit or delete your rescue email address using the Apple ID website. To edit your rescue email address:
    Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
    Click "Manage your account"
    When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
    Click Password & Security
    You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
    After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
    Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.

    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 international telephone support try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support.

  • HT5312 What if I have a rescue email address and the option to reset security questions doesn't show up?

    Idk what's wrong..

    If you aren't getting the reset link then that implies that you don't have a rescue email address set up on your account - you're sure it's not an alternate email address ?
    You will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.

    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.
