I cant seem to be able to change my old icloud email address to a new email address

Can anyone help or is it really not possible?
Also is there any reason that when I have changed my Apple ID the old ID keeps coming up in iCloud with the request for the old password..which I can't even begin to remember!! When I follow the instructions to retrieve password I get a fault message and can go no further? Frustrating.

You can't change the @me.com address you created when you opened the account (or if you were a migratee from MobileMe the address you sign in with).
You can create up to three 'email aliases' which are additional addresses, not accounts, which deliver into the same inbox as the main address. Please see
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a
Some people are reporting being currently unable to create aliases. This seems to be because of the rollout of @icloud.com addresses - until your account is updated to use this version of your address (if it hasn't been already) you won't be able to create aliases. The aliases will be @icloud.com versions.

My 5-minute-old AppleId account was disabled immediately for security reasons. I have followed instructions carefully and although I seem to be able to change my password, I cannot login using the new password bcs account disabled for security reasons!

It is probably something to do with the fact that I am in the Philippines, but what am I supposed to do? According to the support options I have to pay to open a support ticket. My account was not verified when it was disabled and I think I might be in some sort of deadlock in which the password reset won't work because I'm not verified, and the verification won't work because I can't log in.
I've never bought a single Apple product before and this has got to be the worst intro I could have imagined!

Solved.
After about an hour on the phone with US support (who were very helpful I must say) it turns out that if you do not have an iTunes account with credit card information and a billing address, you are very much more likely to get your AppleId account disabled "for security reasons". This begs the question of course as to whose security we are talking about here! But there you go. If you are an Apple first-timer, get an iTunes account, fill in all your details, and you should be alright.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

How are you trying to do it ? You can change the rescue email address on your account by, from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
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.
You can then try using your current rescue email address as your primary email address - you may need to log out of that page and back in. Or you can then try changing the primary email address via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes
If you have an iPhone, iPad and/or iPod Touch you may then need to log out of your account on them by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log back in for the account to be 'refreshed' on it.

I have windows vista. i downloaded firefox - now I need to uninstall and I cant seem to be able to. how do I uninstall and go back to windows 9 like I was befo

I list my pets on petfinders. it came up that my edition of windows exlorer 9 would not work and to go wtih firefox. I downloaded firefox and now it wont work and I need to uninstall but cant seem to be able to- how do I uninstall so can go with the windows version

The uninstall instructions for Firefox are here
*[[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]
However <s>Firefox is obviously working, and </s>it does no harm to have more than one browser on a computer. In fact it can be a distinct advantage. For instance it allows you to use the alternative browser if the primary one has a fault.
Maybe what you are in fact trying to do is to set Internet Explorer (IE) as the default browser again, so that for instance the IE icons appear on some files and links. You can do that from IE
* see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/internet-explorer/make-ie-default-browser#ie=ie-10
* if you do; or do NOT, want Firefox as the default browser also note the information here [[How to make web links open in Firefox by default]]

Only developer's have access to iOS 6 now. Thus, if you are a developer you have have access to the developer's forum for iOS 6.
Otherwise you have a bootleg copy and are on yur own./

HT204053 I've recently changed my email address and my apple ID but sometimes I'm still prompted to use my old apple ID and password which I don't use anymore. I can't seem to be able to delete my old Apple Id, any suggestions?

Please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here:http://appleid.apple.com
Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
Now, everything should working properly again.

Hi. I tried switching my Apple ID email address to my new email address and I don't know how to switch it for iCloud and iTunes. Please help!! It seems like Apple thinks I have two separate accounts, when I just tried to simply change it!

Settings > Store > Sign Out.
Sign in with the correct ID.

I have changed my e-mail address on the apple ID website and have been able to change it for ICloud. My e-mail address (ID) has not changed for I-tunes and therefore, I can't install updates. ??

If this is on your computer's iTunes then log out via the Store > Sign Out menu option and then log back in with the updated version of your account. If on an iOS device then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out and then log back in.

Not if you change the ID. You would need to give them the new address.

TS3988 How do reset my iCloud user id. My new email changed on everything else, but won't change on iCloud.

How do reset my iCloud user id. My new email changed on everything else, but won't change on iCloud.

If you still have access to your old email address, do the following:
Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the pimary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then 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 and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was. You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so. You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.
I do not remember it because when I bought the my iPhone 4s in 2011 I didn't understand how it works and asked a representative to set it up for me. The representative helped me and gave a piece of paper with login and password but I lost it a long time ago.
Before resetting the settings I turned off "Find my iPhone" function, but it anyway asks me to enter my old Apple ID and password. I have the original box, documents, receipt. So how can I solve this problem?

How can i change my old email address to my new email address

how can i change my old email address to my new email address need help please everything i try want work

Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with the new ID. However, app updates for your apps purchased with your older ID will always ask for the password for this ID. (Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.)
