I changed my apple id email but cant change it on my phone

I have changed my apple id email and cant change it on my phone now every time any app asks for my password is says its incorrect because the email is wrong.

The problem is that you had "Find My iPhone" (activation lock) turned on, when you changed your Apple ID email address. In order to solve the problem. please follow this steps:
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.

If you see that pop up you enabled icloud. Whether you want or do not want now to use it irrelevant until you actually disable activation lock.
In order to do that you have to change your apple id back to do that just long enough to sign in and back out. System will ask you to verify, don't.
Just sign in on the prompt you getting and then logout. Once done, change apple id to what you have now and verify. Then decide if you want to
use icloud (who does not want to be able to track their phone if lost or stolen).

Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) HELP!

Changed my Apple ID email, but ICloud does not recognize my new login, only my old one (which is now non-existent) and requires the password to do anything. Everytime I go onto the ICloud page it shows my old email and requires the password, but I can't exactly type in a password because that won't work. I can't find a way to change my email or delete ICloud.

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, do the following:
Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

Not much to go on there. The guess would be that you've set your SMTP server incorrectly - maybe a typo in the server name...?

I want to change my Apple ID email but it won't let me.

The original email I put as my Apple ID has been deavtivaed because I haven't used it in a while, so I want to change my Apple ID email to my current email. However, when I go online to change it, it tells me "this email address is already verified for another Apple ID". I don't recall making an Apple ID on this new email, but I'm guessing I created without realizing it. Is there any way I can delete the Apple ID on my new email and then change it? Or can I merge the two IDs?

Ok I'm goin to call your old Apple ID #1 your new email you want to use #2 and another email #3.
- go to http://appleid.apple.com
- select manage your apple id
- sign into #2
- edit primary email and change it to #3
- save changes and sign out
Now
- sign into #1
- edit primary
- change it to the email that was used for #2
- save changes
- check #2's email inbox for verification email
- verify account
If done correctly you should be fine, also in terms of #3 that would be an email you have that you dont mind being an apple id that you wont use. Sorry for the funny way of explaining just thought it would be shorter to type out lol.
Note: Once changes have been made you must sign out of features such as iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, iTunes & App Store as they will still display the old Apple ID. Sign in with new email but same password as normal.

I changed my Apple ID email and cant log in/log out of iCloud to restore my iPad

I had recently changed my Apple ID email and wanted to restore my iPad because of some errors. And I cant turn find my iPad/iPhone off because it comes up as my old apple ID email, now my new one. It's been annoying me for a couple of days and decided to post here for help. If you need extra information just ask, any help is appreciated. It's an iPad Air on IOS 8

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the 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. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. When you're done, you can go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.

I changed my Apple ID email but it didnt change on the cloud

i recently changed my Apple ID email address but my icloud set up on my ipad has my old email address. how do i change it so i can set up my icloud acc.

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. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go 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 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.

Tried to Change my Apple ID email - but it tells me it's my rescue email address, despite having deleted that rescue email address. What in the world can I do?

Hello all!
I'm in a bit of a quandary. I have three email addresses, and I'm TRYING to pare down the number of addresses that I use. Thus, I am trying to change my Appple ID to one of those email addresses. Having said that, I tried to Change my Apple ID (which is an email address - one of the ones that I need to get rid of) to one email address that I constantly use. However, the screen tells me that the new address I wish to use, is my rescue email address, despite having deleted that rescue email address. What in the world can I do? I'm about sick and tired of Apple ID's.

Ok I'm goin to call your old Apple ID #1 your new email you want to use #2 and another email #3.
- go to http://appleid.apple.com
- select manage your apple id
- sign into #2
- edit primary email and change it to #3
- save changes and sign out
Now
- sign into #1
- edit primary
- change it to the email that was used for #2
- save changes
- check #2's email inbox for verification email
- verify account

My email is through bellsouth.net powered by yahoo. I receive emails but cannot respond to emails received or send new emails. Everything I send ends up in the outbox on the Droid x. What di I need to do to get this corrected? Being able to respond to emails when not at the office was a key reason I went with this phone. Can someone help?

You need to contact Bell South to make sure that you can send emails through your email account while on a different network. I hace Charter for my isp at home, and they do NOT allow emails to be sent through their email servers if your not on the Charter network using Outlook or simular email client. The only way I can send emails if I am out of town, is to use their web interface. This is incorrect. They have instructions on their website to set up an iPhone, BB, or Droid to send and receive email. . I have been receiving and sending mail on my Droid since I picked it up in April. In fact if you look around the Incredible board, I have detailed instructions on how to set up your phone for Charter. I am sure BellSouth has settings also. They do this to cut down on spam being sent through their systems (thus reducing the load on their servers)

I've fixed yahoo accounts before where the device had to be registered with the company, is your account @yahoo.com or something else? Do you login through yahoo.com for your mail on you computer or is it another domain? you may also want to check you settings for sync. Get there by going to the home screen and pressing menu and selecting settings. select accounts and sync, verify that both auto-sync and background data are checked. then click on your account and check to make sure all the necessary boxes you need are checked as well.
The phrase "Powered by Yahoo" is just a customization of the IE brower. It is a registry setting that can be changed to say anything you want, or remove it all together. It does not have anything to do with Yahoo for access or emails of any sort.

HT1277 i receive emails but cant reply from I-phone why?

I am recieving email messages etc etc .but cant reply to my mail !!! getting rejected by server !!

If this problem is only occuring in your iPhone, you probably should ask for assistance in the iPhone forum. Or is this happening with your Mac as well, and if so who is your email provider and what setting are you using for the outgoing mail server?
Regards.

I can recieve email but cant send anyone know how to sort this

can anyone help i can recieve email but have stopped being able to send its only recent and very anoying as i have to go through hotmail to send now

If this just started, and before you could send and receive just fine, then it is a problem with Mac Mail.
It is IMHO one of the Worst Mail programs ever written.
You are not alone this ends up happening to a lot of Mac Mail users, for No good reason.
It is not you ISP, it is not your settings. It is Mac Mail just decides to stop allowing you to send mail.
If you want it to never happen again stop using Mac Mail and find another Mail program. Any Other Mail program.

I have changed my Apple ID email but when I need to download apps on iPad or iPod it keeps commish up with my old email address si I cannot download or update apps or iTunes

I have changed my Apple ID to new email and new password. Apple confirmed changes. Now when I need to download apps or iTunes purchases it asks me to verify and put in password for my previous email and password, which it declines the old password as obviously the email is wrong but I do not get option to change email only to rest password. How do I rectify this.

Hello Jamcef,
Thank you for the question. Use these steps to change the Apple ID signed into the iTunes Store:
Sign in with a different Apple ID
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
Tap your Apple ID.
If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
Tap Sign Out.
Enter your Apple ID and Password and tap Sign In.
Or if you don't have another Apple ID, tap Create New Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store

Changed apple ID password, but cant sign in to apple app store or facetimme

I couldn't access to apple ID so I changed the password follwing steps to change apple ID password. Then I couldnt at least sign in to apple store, Facetime, Icoloud. What should I do?

This sounds similar to a problem I had, though I may be wrong. First sign out of everything, the app store and icloud both have there own way of signing out so make sure to do them both. To sign out of app store go to featured tab then scroll to the bottom and click apple ID, for icloud you sign out under settings. When signing out of iclould you will need to use your old password, so you may need to go back online to the apple website and change your id and password to what it was before. Once you've signed out of everything go apple website and change you ID and password to what you want it to be. Then go and sign back into everything. I hope this helps. It might not be the best way but it worked for me.
