HT5621 How do I change my apple id email without a password

How do I change my apple id email without the password? I really need help.

You don't. You'll need the password to that Apple ID to get in and make any changes to the account. If you've forgotten the password, go here:

  • HT5621 how can I change my apple id email without accessing my email account as I have forgotten the password?

    I have forgotten the password to my email account and would like to change the email of my apple id to a new one.

    Sign out of your Apple ID on all your services & devices, especially iCloud on your iPhone.
    Go to id.apple.com.
    Log in with your Apple ID & password.
    Then, edit your primary email address to the new email account.
    Once you do so, a verification email will be sent to the new email address.
    Go to your email account and verify the new primary email address.

  • How can I change my apple ID email address when I can't access old email (It's an old work address I can't access anymore)

    How can I change my apple ID email address when I can't access old email (It's an old work address I can't access anymore)? Whenever I try it always wants to send things to my email address to confirm. I have a new apple ID and a new email address, I want to use this now for my iphone and my macbook air but I can't and I'v

    Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.

    How can I change my apple ID email address?

    I just did follow Varjak's instruction, but it refused. I was asked to enter my Apple ID's email address which unfortunately is the same as my Apple ID. I created two different passwords for each Apple ID n primary email address when I set up my I tune account in the first place, however.
    I do remember my Apple ID password because I have used it every time I installed new apps, but I completely forgot my password for the primary email address because I've never used it at all! I have another email address which I actively use it for all my email. I want to change my primary email address which happened to be my Apple ID as well to the one I actively use.
    Because of the explained problem, I can't log in to Icloud as I have been asked to verify by following the instruction sent to my primary email address.
    I would really appreciate it if any one can help me solve this problem.
    Thank you all.

    How do I change my Apple ID/email for cloud?

    Most of the people on these public forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here. I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post.
    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it.

  • HT5621 How do I change the Apple ID stored on my MacBook Air?  I have changed my Apple ID on the Apple ID website, but both my MacBook Air and my iMac show the old Apple ID when accessing iCloud.

    How do I change the Apple ID that is stored on my MacBook Air.  I have changed my Apple ID on the Apple ID website but both my MacBook Air and my iMac show the old Apple ID when accessing iCloud.

    I had this problem on my iMac and fixed it after a  half hour of frustrated trying.  I had changed my Apple ID on my iPad mini while traveling.  When I finally got back home after a few months, I couldn't  log in to iTunes on my iMac.  The old Apple ID was still being used on my iMac.  I tried just highlighting it and deleting it and typing in my new Apple ID.  No dice. The login just defaulted to my old Apple ID.  I tried clicking on the drop down menu that appears when you right right click your Apple ID  that appears at the top of the page after highlighting the 'iTunes Store" in the left side list.  I saw "account" so I clicked on that.  The "account" settings on my iMac showed my new Apple ID but my iMac wouldn't use it. It just kept defaulting to my old ID. I shut down.  I logged back in.  Same result.  Finally I right clicked the same drop down menu and saw "sign out" at the bottom of the list.  Even though I was not signed in to iTunes, I clicked "sign out".  My next log in to iTunes showed my Apple ID as blank and I was able to type in my new ID.  Hope this helps.
    I am a long time 20 year Microsoft user. I am somewhat ( 1 year) new to Apple. With Microsoft, I found that fixing problems was clunky and complex, but there was always a post somewhere that explained the fix. Microsoft's explanations stated even the most obvious fact. Even if everyone knew that the sky was blue, Microsoft's instructions would still tell you that the sky was blue.  With Apple, I find that the obvious is sometimes not so obvious.  But the fix is almost always easy once you find it, without many of the elaborate maneuvers needed in Windows.

  • HT5621 How can I change my apple id on icloud?

    How can I change my apple id on icloud, I have done it online, but when I try to get into it on my iphone it still comes up with my old apple id, and I cannot change it as it keeps asking for my password which the old id will not accept?

    You have to delete the account: Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Try changing your ID, online, back to your old ID, then delete the iCloud account on your phone. Once done, change your ID back to the new one you want to use.

  • My iPhone 5S prompts me for my password to an Apple ID email that no longer exists as an account.  How do I change my Apple ID address without having to change the primary address to a non-existent email account?

    I cannot sign into icloud on my phone because the Apple ID is an email account that has been deactivated and deleted.  How can I change my Apple ID without having to change the primary email address to this non-existent account? If I did so, I wouldn't be able to access the account to receive the verification email. Please help!

    To change the iCloud ID 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 should not need to verify the 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.

  • How do I change my Apple ID email on my iPhone?

    I changed my primary Apple ID email on my computer. Now when I use my iPhone, a bubble constantly pops up asking me for the password for my old Apple ID email. The new and old passwords do not work. I don't know how to switch my Apple ID email/iCloud information on my iPhone.

    If this is happening for iCloud on your iPhone (showing the old appe id) then it's possible you'll have to do these steps. I apologize if this sounds confusing:
    go to appleid.apple.com and sign in to your current apple id (the one you just changed your old id's primary email address to"
    then, change your primary address BACK to you old id (the one showing up on the iPhone) and click save at the bottom.
    At this point, you'll go on  your iPhone go to settings < iCloud and then tap "delete account" at the bottom. You'll want to make sure that you choose 'keep on iPhone' when you get the option.
    At this point you should be signed out of the old id.
    Now, you'll want to go back in to appleid.apple.com and now change your apple id BACK to what you wanted it to be. You'll hit save changes. Then, you'll need to check your email account to verify your apple id email address.
    At this point, you should be able to sign back into your iCloud settings on the iPhone and shouldn't see that old ID popping up.
    This is all assuming your changed your apple id and didn't just create a new one.
    Hope this very confusing explaination helps! 

  • HT201342 How do i Change the apple ID email address used to set up my iPad and iCloud?

    I set up my ipad using an @me email address.  but most of my data is stored on a separate iCloud account that is linked to a different email address.  When I try to change the default address on the iPad icloud, I can't add a new apple ID or email address, and am only shown @me or @icloud in a drop down box.  How can I change the setting on my iPad to another apple ID and email address?   

    If you want to change your iCloud ID to another existing ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll or you will lose them.  To do this, open the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPad.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.

  • HT5621 How can I change my Apple ID on the Icloud on my iphone? I changed it to a new address and the icloud wont let me update it on m phone and it is not registering my old address either because it no longer exists. please help!

    It continues to ask me for my password for the old address nd when i enter it or have tried to change it, it does not recognise that address. Do I have to take y phone back to new to be able to log in to the icloud with the changed email address?

    Sync with iTunes so you have a backup. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings. Restore the unit as New. Reconfigure for your new ID and password. Restore your apps, etc. from backup.

  • HT1420 How can I change my Apple ID email for an account with 100s of purchases to the email address I have that (at some point) I logged into gamecenter and "claimed" it as another person?

    ^---topic
    I have used a @yahoo email address for 10 years as my apple ID when purchasing things.  The biggest problem being, that at some point, yahoo decided to delete the email account and I can't use it.  I would like to use my email addresses that I actually use (@me, @gmail), but I guess I used them at some point to log into gamecenter or some other useless apple thing. I know you can change the email associated with your account, but apple is showing that my emails are already in use, so I can't use them for this purpose.

    Change the email you used in "gamecenter or some other useless apple thing" then change your AppleID.
