I want to swap my primary and rescue email id.How to do that?

I am unable to change my rescue email ID as my current email ID and Apple ID.
So please help me regarding the same.

You will need to remove the email address as your rescue email address first : log into your account via http://appleid.apple.com, select the Password And Security section, answer your questions, and remove it. Then try putting it as your primary email address, and then try putting your existing primary address as your rescue email address

Reversing my main email and rescue email on my PC (not MAC)

Reversing my main email and rescue email in Apple on my PC (not MAC) and iPhone ?

Hi Sallyarnlover,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Since your rescue email is already associated with your Apple ID, you'll want to remove it first as per some instructions in this article:
Apple ID: Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/he68
Sign in to My Apple ID with the Apple ID that has the email address already associated with it.
Find the email address that you want to move to your preferred Apple ID, then click Delete.
Click Save Changes, then click Sign Out at the top of the page.
Once that's done, this article explains how to change your Apple ID:
Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5621
Make sure that the email address you want to use for your Apple ID meets these conditions:
The email address is one that you use regularly, because it will be the primary email address for your Apple ID.
The email address is not associated with any other Apple ID.
The email address is not an iCloud email address, which is already an Apple ID. iCloud email addresses end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
Cheers,
- Ari

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.

Forgot security answers and rescue email

I WANT TO MAKE A IN APP PURCHASES AND IT ASK ME TO FILL IN THE SECURITY ANSWER, I FORGOT MY APPLE ID SECURITY ANSWERS AND RESCUE EMAIL TOO, ALSO TRY CALLED SUPPORT CENTER BUT THE SUPPORT CENTER IS CLOSE. WHAT CAN I DO NOW ? PLASE HELP ME (T-T)

Wait for the support center to open. If you're desperate enough, create a new Apple ID, download that game from it, and then make the purchases; you won't be able to transfer previous purchases or iTunes Store credit between the Apple IDs.

My Apple ID and rescue email are reversed. How can I change them both at the same time

My Apple ID and rescue email are reversed. How can I change them both at the same time?

I'd already used this standard tool (exhaustively!), but for the problem encountered it operated in Catch 22 mode - you had to do two things but neither order was permitted. I did find an answer eventually, but am not sure what it was I did that solved it! Thanks, anyway.

My iTunes and App store are opening in chinese language but I want to convert it into English... How to do that???

As far as I know the language of the two stores on the iPad (iTunes and the App Store) can't be changed - they should be in the language of the country where your account is based (if they aren't correct then try logging out of your account by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in).

You won't be able to view and/or change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, if you can't remember the address then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can then view (and/or change) your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201356

When purchasing from itunes we exceeded the limit and think we remembered the answers and rescue email address is incorrect.

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.
