On my ipod touch how do I change the email address where my itunes receips go?

Hi ipodreceipts,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can change the email address your receipts go to on your iPod touch by following these instructions and changing the email instead of the password:
iTunes Store settings - iPod touch
http://help.apple.com/ipodtouch/7/#/iph17ff8a531
To set options for iTunes Store, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. You can:
View or edit your account. Tap your Apple ID, then tap View Apple ID. To change your password, tap the Apple ID field.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
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")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

You can't change the Apple ID for your iCloud account, you have to delete it.

You should probably contact Apple support.

I made my apple Id a long time ago. I do not remember the answers to my security questions but when I send the questions to my email, they get sent to an old email that was deleted. How do I change the email they get sent to?

Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores
At the top of the window you will see the Apple ID that the iPad is using. To change that tap on the ID and then tap on Sign Out. Then sign in with the correct ID.
Not really a good idea to be using two different Apple IDs on a single iPad.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.

How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only. I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6. Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them. I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account. If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image. If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted. Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account. Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

When my iPhone updated, it reloaded an old email address as my iCloud address and I don't know the password associated with that email address. How do I delete the old account and set up a new one with my new email?
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.

How can I change the email address of my Apple identifyer?

I changed email provider*, it affects my apple identifier . When I buy something it used to send me emails to that old address. How can I change the email of my identifyer?
Today i bought something and it said it was the first time I used my machine to buy something and asked for my security questions, but I always bought with my ipad, this is not a new machine.
* I cancelled my account with Videotron so there is no way I can use the videotron email address anymore ( it was used for my identifyer email address)

The only email address I see is the name of my apple identifyer. If I change it to the new address, won't I have 2 identifyer now? How about everything I have bought on the old email identifyer?
I think I am misunderstandiing something here...

TS3988 how do you change the email address associated to my account

how do you change the email address associated to my account

Your description doesn't make it entirely clear what you are trying to do. Your Apple ID - which you use to log in to iCloud - is a non-Apple email address and you can change this. You may also have a 'rescue' address (advisable) which is a non-Apple email address and you can change that. The @icloud.com address you set up when you opened the iCloud account can not be changed, but has nothing directly to do with Hotmail (other than that being the login).
What you can do is 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:

If you know the answers to your security questions, then from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com 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.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
If you can't remember your answers and you don't have access to your current rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
