I have changed my primary e-mail adress

I have changed my primary e-mail adress which is base of appleid. But icloud and iphone itself insist on using old e-mail adress. How can ı change it on IPhone.
I can not reser the device and features at all...

To change the iCloud ID ("email address") 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 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.

  • Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

    Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
    Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
    So my options are:
    Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
    Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
    Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
    Anyone else ran into this before?
    I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
    Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

  • How can I change my Primary E-mail account on Ipod touch?

    I only have 2 emails both have the same name only the end is different 1) @aol.com 2) @icloud.com.  My primary e-mail address was always @aol.com and now it is on @icloud.com.  I just need to know how I can change my Primary E-Mail  account to be AOL again.  Does it have anything to do with when I charge my ipod?  Sometime I charge it to My Computer and other times to icloud.  Also does the e-mail account have anything to do with the Primary Server for my mail.

    - Just what do you mean by prinary email account? Maybe this will help

    - It has nothing to do with charging your iPod. Yu said " Sometime I charge it to My Computer and other times to icloud.". What do you mean chargiing to iCloud?
    - Each mail account uses in Settings>Mail has a primary server for sending mail and that server is the server associated with that account. Secondard sending servers are other ssending servers for other mail account yo have ins Settings>Mail

  • How to change the primary outgoing mail server in iphone

    I am trying to change the primary outgoing mail server from Yahoo to another mail which is my internet provider. I do not know the steps to complete this in my iphone thanks

    If you have more than one email account on your phone, you can change the default account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Default Account. Note that this setting does not appear unless you have more than one account on your phone. So, you'll need to add the email account from your ISP under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add New Account if you have not already done so.

  • I want to change my primary e-mail address that I use with Apple ID - help guide says Select Edit next to "Apple ID and Primary Email Address." But there is no 'edit' on that section there is on every other but not that one. Can anyone help?

    You can create an alias @icloud.com email address within your current account that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a).  (@me.com addresses are no longer available as new addresses.)  Just be aware that you cannot use an alias address later to create a new iCloud account or move it to a different account.
    Also, even if you created a new iCloud account with a new ID, your existing purchases would not be lost.  They are permanently tied to the original ID you used to purchase them.  You can also continue to use the existing ID for the iTunes store; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud.

  • How do I change my primary E-mail account?

    I've currently got two e-mail accounts set up in Mail, one a .mac account and one my Comcast.net account. I rarely ever use my .mac account, always using my Comcast account. When I send a new e-mail from Mail, it goes out via my Comcast account. But for some reason, anytime I click on an e-mail link in Firefox or Safari, it sends the e-mail from my .mac account, which is not what I want. I don't want to delete my .mac account from Mail to make this work. There must be a way to tell Mail which account is my primary account. I've searched Help and I've searched this forum and have been unsuccessful in finding any help at all. I'm sure it's a simple thing but I can't figure this out. If it helps at all I'm new Apple user, just recently converted from Windows. So it's possible I'm looking in the wrong place.

    Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
    I assume that you are talking about web browser links that create a new message in mail? If you are talking about web mail it will always go from the web mail service you are logged into
    In mail when you have a new message you can select the account it is sent from in the drop down list just below the subject line
    I believe that the next new mail defaults to the last account you used so if you just used .mac mail with mail the next time you send I believe it will start there until you change it
    If mail is not running it will use the top account in the list - to change that open your mail preferences ==> accounts and drag your comcast account to the top of the list if it is not there

  • I have iPhone 5s with an Apple ID which is different from iPad I'd. This is because I changed my primary e.mail address as it would not work on new phone. Every time I try to log in to icloud or apple I have to change my password. This is EVERY time

    I have had an iPad 2 for 10 months with Apple ID. Now I have new iPhone 5s which will not allow me to use my old e.mail address so I had to change it also in apple account. Now, every time I try to use apple or icloud the sign in comes up with the "old" ID which has been changed - I therefore cannot login, have to reset my password but once logged out and try to log back in again it still has my old id displayed - what can I do?

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")

  • Can't change primary e-mail address, no access to ...

    Alright here's the issue I signed up for my microsoft account through my brothers account and got Skype on my 360. Now I upgraded to my xboxone and I relize that my brother's e-mail is still located as the Primary. I had already changed my microsoft account to an e-mail address that I use. However, I can't seem to change my Primary E-mail address to my actual e-mail because I don't recall the password that I had created with that account. Is there any way to remove that old account? I tried looking for customer service however it either redirects to the community, the help page, or the form fill out page (that doesn't seem to exist). Any help would be awesome especailly since all I want to do is to change my secondary e-mail to my primary.

    Hi, Matt_Randall, and welcome to the Community!
    I confess, I am confused.  If you use Skype now, the password you use to sign on to your outlook.com account should be the same password you would use to sign on to the software or app and also the Skype website, where your Skype account details are accessed.  Perhaps this FAQ article will explain the process a little better:  
    https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA96/how-do-i-cha​nge-my-email-address-or-add-another-email-address-​...
    I could very well be wrong ... will continue to dig into this and revert.
    If all else fails, here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    As you know you intend to contact Customer Service, skip past Step 2 of the instruction where several articles from the FAQ library will appear for you to review, and proceed to Step 3, Continue Support Request (the "button" appears at the lower right corner of the website page). You may also skip past in Step 4 where you will be referred back here to the Community; no need to do this as the Community is where you started.

  • I need to change my AppleID's primary e-mail address, but there's no option to.

    So my main AppleID is "****" and I've been using it since 2004 for iTunes and other Apple Support functions.
    Because of the switch to mobileme and the switch to icloud, I can no longer check my @mac.com e-mail, so I'm unable to receive receipts from iTunes and Apple Store purchases. I realized this today when I purchased an item at my local Apple Store and it noted that it would e-mail me the receipt.
    How can I change the primary e-mail address attached to my AppleID so I'll be able to receive receipts and other e-mails from apple from now on?
    If there's no way to change this e-mail, how can I check my .mac e-mail account now?
    <Edited By Host>

    Okay we're sorta making progress. Barely.
    I chatted with someone from support based on your suggestion and she was able to disconnect my AppleID and primary e-mail address.
    My "primary e-mail address" on the AppleID site is now listed as my @me.com account.
    However, it's asking me to verify it, but no matter how many times I click the "resend verification e-mail" link, nothing has shown up.
    If I try to change it to an alternate e-mail, like my @bellsouth.net account, clicking "save" to save those settings does nothing, and it reverts back to @me.com
    Nothing at all gets through to my mac.com account.
    This is especially troubling since I updated to Mountain Lion this morning. One of the first programs I used, Messages, asked me to verify my AppleID by checking my @mac.com e-mail.
    What a headache.

  • I need help,i changed my primary email,now when i want to buy itunes,the old email name keeps coming up,how do i get the old primary email off of my phone

    i changed my primary email,and now when i go to buy itune songs,my old email keeps coming up,how do i get my old email off of the phone

    The only thing I did was I went to the Apple.com , logged in and changed my primary e-mail since I will be losing the old email soon ( I have a different job). I said update info and verified the email was correct. I just went to settings on icloud and logged out and tried to log in and now it won't take anything. I don't even know now which e-mail they want the primary one or recovery, it won't take any of the 3. Not sure what else to try at this point, I guess I can't buy any more music.

  • Can't get back to my Primary e-mail address

    Hello!! i hope someone can help me with this!!
    - I was having problems verifying my primary e-mail address on appleid.apple.com.... I had this message about my email address wasn't veryfied and that I needed to verify it on order to get access to icloud. I clicked a looooot of times the link "verify now" but nothing happened... so I decided to change the primary e-mail address to something else, now, I can't get back to my original primary email address when I hit "save changes" nothing happens!
    does anyone have an idea on how to fix this??
    Thanks!
    LMC

    I use a supplied router (o2) as the DHCP server and a number of extremes in bridging mode to extend my local network. The networks at my offices all use non Apple routers,. Back to my mac works across my LAN and my WAN but doesn't seem to be able to wake sleeping macs across the WAN.

  • HT1918 How do I change my RESCUE e-mail address, which,now thatI've moved, happens to be the same as my NEW e-mail address?

    How do I update my e-mail address which is the same as my RESCUE e-mail address?  I have moved and cancelled my old ISP and any associated e-mails with them, and moved my email address to GMAIL.  It happens to be the same as my original Rescue email so I need to change the RESCUE email address and you don't give me that option on the Account/E-mail Change page, you just keep kicking me back to "Your email address can't be the same as your Rescue email address" and leave me hanging!

    To change your rescue e-mail goto
    My Apple Id
    Then login and goto security
    There should ask you for your security questions answer them and it will take you to a page where you can change them
    On that page their should be an area that says "Rescue E-mail"
    Click delete or change (if you click change type new rescue e-mail you want)
    After that click save
    Then you can change your primary e-mail.
    Hope this helps

  • Change of primary email in Apple ID

    I have changed my primary email in my Apple ID and have updated it on iTunes. But my iPhone will not allow any app updates as it is still trying to use the old Apple ID. Every time I try it just says that the Apple ID is invalid. What else do I have to change to make this work?
    Many thanks if someone could help??

    As far as I know changing the primary adress will not affect any purchases. Since it is the primary email, it should change any other Apple related accounts, eg: Game Center, iMessage, FaceTime.
    Try searching the Apple Support website for more information under the iTunes section.
