I want to change the email safari uses

if I want to email something from the internet (safari) it always sends it from my .mac mail account. I want to be able to send it from my yahoo account. How do I do that?

thank you for your quick answer. I don't know if I'm just stupid or what, but I still can't get it to work. Is there a way that I can disable my mail account. It's not a current account anyway, I'm not paying for it and I think I screwed something up with the outgoing mail server anyway. I never use the mac mail so I want it to go away. Can you help me with this.
I'm assuming that if you go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts, your Yahoo account is NOT listed there. If it is listed, then just drag it to the top of the list area.
If it's not listed, I think your only choice is to set it up in Mac Mail -- whether you actually use it from Mac Mail or not, that seems to be the only place Safari looks when you take one of it's File > Mail options.
It's possible you might find more info in the +Mail and Address Book+ forum.

-If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com. Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE: This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
-If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address. Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security. You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

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

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.

Want to change the email address I used to setup Icloud initiatally. Can I do that? If I change apple ID do I lose all information in Icloud now?

You can change the login ID address, provided that it is not an @icloud.com, @me.com or @mac.com address. You will need to sign out on all your computers/devices and sign back in again with the new ID.
However, once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
All is not lost, though. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
More information on aliases here:

I want to change the email that iCloud uses to send security answers to and i don't know how.

Hi, i just installed my mavericks and i was going through all my settings and keychains and everyting. Last month i deleted the email account that i think we use to send the answers of the security questions on and i forgot the answers. I want to change the email that iCloud uses to send security answers to and i don't know how. Can it be done?

You need to contact Apple. Click here, phone them, and ask for the Account Security team, or fill out and submit this form.

I want to change the email address on my account how can I do so?

I want to change the email on my account since I lost the password to that email account. Please help

If you have a new email address then create a new mail account for that email address.
In Thunderbird:
File > New > select 'Existing mail account'
or
Menu Icon > New Messages > select 'Existing mail account'
when creating the mail account, make sure you select the type of mail account you require...Pop or IMAP
more info here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-account-configuration?esab=a&s=new+mail+account&r=0&as=s
If you have the same email address but want to change the server it uses.
If you currently have an IMAP mail account and you are wanting to close it, you would need to get a copy of any emails into Local Folders first.
Synchronise the folder for offline use, then in offline mode get a copy of emails into Local Folders.
If you have a pop mail account, the emails are already on your computer.
To change the server, but not email address:
you will need to know your server settings first.
Thenright click on mail account name in Folder Pane and select 'Settings'
select the Server sEttings for the account
or Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the account
Change as necessary
server name:
Port:
Connection Security:
In the left Pane, at the bottom Select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)
click on 'Add'
create the new outgoing server entering the server details
username: = full email address
then click on OK
then select the account in the left Pane
at the bottom on the right side:
Outgoing Server (SMTP)
click on the drop down selectionand locate the new outgoing server.
then click on OK to save changes.

I want to change the email address for both the app store

I want to change the email address of both the app store & iTunes I created an iTunes account then bought a family pack @me.com so everything is not straight forward I have a gmail log in for both iTunes & the AppStore & then more than one Apple ID I have just increased my cloud storage but I am tired of having to use a gmail address for the App Store & iTunes especially since gmail would appear to be less secure that @icloud.com so how do I change this ?

Not a good idea. Apple content is forever associated with the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. The only Apple ID that can (re)download, update and authorize content for use on Macs, PCs and iOS devices is the Apple ID that bought it.
You can however change the email address associated with an Apple ID;

I want to change the way Safari opens a file type.

Is there a forum for Windows users of Safari?
I am using Windows 7 and just downloaded Safari 5.1.7
I want to change the way Safari opens a file type. Specifically the AVI file type. I would like Safari to cause VLC Player to launch, outside of Safari, and play the AVI file. I don't find that Safari provides me with a method to change how Safari will open a file. Presently Safari will do nothing when I pull down the file menu, select "open", and then select an AVI file from a disk folder. I have Opera, Firefox and IE launching VLC,,,, but not Safari.

Yes, the Safari for Windows forum is here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/safari?view=discussions#/?tagSet= 1041
I have asked the Hosts to move your post to that forum.

HT201303 I want to change the email you are sending confidential answer him

I want to change the email you are sending confidential answer him

first of, if you also don't remember the alternate email you have registered it to, the only available option is:-
you can only reset/update them (security questions) by CALLING the apple support team..
don't worry, they are very polite and friendly.. =))
all u need to do is verify their questions..
BUT
(1) make sure you don't signed out of your apple ID;
(2) prepare you apple device’s serial number;
and also,
(3) be sure you are connected to the internet, so that u can help the speed up the "verifying" process..
it only took less than 20minutes to have my security questions reset without losing the balance in my apple ID ^__^
hope this helps.. merry christmas y'all ~.~

HT5620 I want to change the email address to which all the reset security information (emails) go to. But I cannot see that email address in the list when I click on the 'Name, ID and Email Addresses' section.

I want to change the email address to which all the reset security information (emails) go to. But I cannot see that email address in the list when I click on the 'Name, ID and Email Addresses' section.
How can I change it when I cannot view it on my account. I am not even sure how this got setup.

If you mean your rescue email address, it's in the Passwords and Security section, after you answer the two security questions.

HT5312 How do you change the email address used to send security answers?

I want to change the email address on my icloud account

The email address I am using at the moment will not be available much longer so I want to change the address on my itunes account (I can see how to do that) and also on my icloud account. How do I change the email address on my icloud account?

If your AppleID is a .Mac or .Me account then you can't change it. But it shouldn't go away.
If it is something else you can. Just log in here (https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/) and manage your AppleID. Click edit next to the ID and you should be able to simply change it.
Cheers.

How can I change the email address used to authorize my computer?

I borrowed ebooks from a public library using a different email address which I should have used to authorized my computer hosting the adobe digital edition. Is there a way to modify the email address used to authorize my computer as I get an error message when I try to return the books. Thanks

This says it was assumed answered but where is the answer? I've gone thru the Help processes to do this but it doesn't change. The old address is still there. I have trouble returning books to the library and getting new books.

    1. Use Apple's Express Lane.

          bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then

          ID security questions' and click 'Continue'. Please be patient waiting for the return
          phone call. It will come in time depending on how heavily the servers are being hit.
