  • I changed my email for my Apple ID, and my iCloud won't let me change it, it only lets me delete my account. But I don't want everything on my phone that is linked to it to be deleted too. How do I change the email in the iCloud settings

    I changed my email for my Apple ID, but on my iCloud it's still registered under my old email, but I can't change it. The only option it has for me to do is to delete that account from my phone but I don't want to lose anything I have on my phone that is linked to my iCloud account

    If you go to your iTunes account on the computer, where you changed your email account info, you find a link to other changes for your account info.  You may have done all that already, if so next you have to change the info on the device.
    To change the device info:
    Step 1.  Connect to iTunes on the computer and on the "Info" page, check the sync info box.  You should notice a change in your email info on the screen .  Sync device to the computer.
    Step 2.  note at the bottom of this "Info" screen a note that says to change you iPad info:  Go to Settings on the iPad, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars.   Change your email account information here.

    Hi skippy2012trev,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • Ai changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud ccount because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

    i changed my email for my apple id, but i can't change my iCloud  account because i can't remember my old password, and now i need to use iCloud for my new IPhone but it isn't working, how do i fix that?

    If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new 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, 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.

  • TS1424 I am trying to change my primary email for my apple id - when I change it the error reads, this is your rescue email. How do I change my rescue email?

    I am trying to change my primary email for my apple id - when I change it the error reads, this is your rescue email. How do I change my rescue email so that I can then change my primary id ?

    You will have to delete your rescue email address first, then go back and change your primary.
    Source: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5312
    You can edit or delete your rescue email address at My Apple ID. To edit your rescue email address:
    Navigate to My Apple ID 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.
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 

  • I used my husband's email for my apple ID.  I just got him a new ipad but can't use the email to register.  If I change my ID now, will that email be available for him on his ipad?

    Hey LamFY,
    Thanks for the question. The short answer is Yes. Once you change your Apple ID primary email address, the previous email address will be freed up for use with another account:

    Be sure to follow all of the steps in this resource, most importantly the first step of signing out of all Apple features and services.
    Thanks,

  • Changed my email for my apple ID and I don't know how to change it on my iPhone.

    So as the title says I changed my email for my apple ID because I'm getting rid of an old email account.  My iPhone is still trying to use my old email as the login ID so it doesn't work obviously.  How can I change my apple ID in my iPhone?

    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the new ID.

  • HT1918 How can I change my rescue email. I am trying to change my email for my Apple account because I can no longer access the email on the account. My only email I use is my rescue email and it will not allow me to change my Apple ID email to my rescue

    How can I change my rescue email or get rid of it? I need to change my email under my apple ID to the email that is my rescue email. It won't allow me to have the same email. I only have one email address and can no longer access the email address under my apple ID

    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.

  • HT4759 I changed my email for my Apple ID. Now I cannot access my iCloud account.

    I have had to change my apple account id email. I now find that I keep gettting the message that the username or password is incorrect when trying to access icloud account How can I sync my new apple id email and my icloud account information. The Apple id email on my icloud account information is the old email and is greyed out.?

    Hello there, HK55.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great follow-up information for once you've changed your Apple ID:
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    For iCloud on an iOS device it recommends the following:
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

    You cannot change a *.mac, *.me or *.icloud email address - any Apple issued email address cannot be changed.  Only non-apple issued primary email addresses are editable.

    I want to change the email address that I use for my apple ID.....how do I do that!!!!

    Hello Embark2013 - Thanks for the help!  If possible, could you or somebody in Apple-land explain to Apple that their system is IDIOTIC?!  Changing an email address should be the simplest thing imaginable.  Nobody should EVER have to consult a discussion group to learn how to do such a thing.

  • HT5312 i want change rescue email for security information

    i want change rescue email for security information

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
