Issue: cannot change primary email address

I can't seem to change my default email address for my skype account. I can add a new one, and when I want it changed, I get a pop up window where it asks for a password. It doesn't say which password, but I've tried the 3-4 PW's I use on the web, of course including the skype password. It still won't accept it. There's no way I've lost the skype PW, as I used it to log into my account less than an hour ago. Caps lock is off, too.
There's one weird issue that's maybe related to this... the old email (which is useless) is to a passport.com account, and in order to log in to Skype I have to go through the microsoft account option. If I use my old msn login details I won't get in. Though, I've verified that the password I'm trying to use matches the password for that passport account. I really don't know what to do here, it seems like it's asking for a PW I didn't make myself.

Also same issue. had a multitude of issues tring to change my email and/or get away from my microsofy sign-in but every possible avenue reasches a strange dead-end.
>Can't see skype from my live account under 'manage your accounts' but should be able to
>Can't link to facebook therefore can't sign in with that instead (no link option button but should be)
>Couldn't change any details in chrome at all
>In IE can access options in the account management of skype to change the default email but then asked to provide a mystery password which isn't my skype/MS password; so which password is it?
>Can create a new skype only account but doesn't give link options for facebook or live
>Can create a new skype account with just facebook but then doesn't allow a link to live
>Follow the support tabs but none of the help sections work, responding likely generates only a statistic.
>The information on getting to talk to an actuall person (live chat) is wrong as it asks you to click next through the relevent help support page and if none of the resolutions solve your problem the final prompt has a live chat button. unfortunatley none of the help sections even seem to have multiple sections or indeed a next button never mind a live chat button... I could go on. WTF is this..why am i wasting my time.
Is anyone going to respond to this and sort it out? It feels very much like a pain in the arse!

Issue when changing primary email address of Apple ID

I consider this mail as bug report of how Apple handles multiple email addresses on Apple ID.
Pre setup:
Primary email: "email address"
Additional address: "email address 2"
Iphone installed with "email address" and
Steps to do on appleid web page:
1 - Change password (was forced)
2 - Remove "email address 2" from additional mail addresses list
3 - Change apple ID primary "email address" to -> "email address 2"
4 - Add "email address" to additional addresses list
Result:
Primary email: "email address 2"
Addidional address: "email address"
When you try use iPhone, it asks login to iCloud (correct behavior, password has been changed). But iPhone does not ask for login, it asks password for "email address".
If you try remove "email address" iCloud account, iPhone asks password for "email address" to remove "Find my phone". Device cannot be removed from iCloud web page so iPhone is "locked" to "email address", and this cannot be changed.
Alternative Apple ID "[email protected]", also listed on additional email addresses list. You CAN'T change alternate Apple ID, but you CAN remove "[email protected]" from additional mail list. This must be bug!
Another bug: You CAN'T select primary email address from 'additional mail addresses' list, you MUST remove address from list first, then you can change primary address to that removed address. You should able to use own verified address as primary apple id address.
Also removed addresses must be re-verified every time after removing.
Guess what happens when we have several iPhones/iPads on our household?

I had a similar problem, which prevented me changing my personal data on iCloud/apple etc. I found the answer on the apple web-site, "appleid.apple.com".
This site lets you change your primary country, and so lets you use the app store.

Cannot Change primary email address Azure + Office365

I'm having an issue with one of my users, their primary email uses @on.microsoftonline.com where the rest of my users use @ourdomain.co.uk. Usually I'd change this on 365 admin center but we have recently started using Azure Active sync so it throws up an
error requiring me to change it on the premises AD. My problem now is I cant find where to change this, I've read a few different forum posts the most solid one thus far was to use a tool called AD modify but this doesn't seemed to have done the trick.
Cheers,
Nathan

Check the errors in MIISClient or in the dirsync notification emails, maybe the user is not getting updated because of an issue with other attributes. Or the address might already be configured for another object in the cloud. Easiest way to confirm this
is via running this cmdlet against EO Remote PowerShell:
Get-Recipient [email protected]
You can also 'overwrite' the address even for a synchronized user by running this cmdlet:
Set-Mailbox [email protected] -WindowsEmailAddress [email protected]

How can i change Primary Email Address in apple ID

How can i change Primary Email Address in apple ID.

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.

You can contact the AppleID support team at http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact and ask them what can be done.

How can I change Primary Email Address to icloud email?

I have an apple id been using for many years. I would like to change the primary email address. I would like to create a new icloud email address and use that as primary email for my apple id.
When I try to do this in the Manage Apple ID it says that I cannot pick an email address associate with apple domain.
How do I do this???
Essentially I would like to start over with an icloud email address but keep all my existing itunes purchases etc. If I create a new Apple ID with icloud email id I am hosed and cannot copy over my purchases. If I stay with existing Apple ID, I can change primary email address but I can't use icloud email.
Any suggestions??

While you can't currently change your Apple ID to a Mobile/iCloud email address, I found a solution that helps with a related problem.
Suppose you've recently got an iCloud email address, but Apple are still sending all your iTunes Store, App Store and Mac App Store receipts to your old gmail address (the one that's still your Apple ID). And suppose they're also sending all the Apple Support Communities notifcation emails to your old gmail address. How do you change it? How do you fix it?
Well the option exists, but it is hidden away in a weird place. To get Apple sending all of their receipts and notifications to your new iCloud email address...
• Go to your country's Apple Store website http://store.apple.com/
• Click on the Account button in the top-right corner
• Under Account Settings, click on Change your default shipping or billing info
• Sign in with your usual Apple ID and password
• The email address listed under Payment Information is the key
• Click on Edit next to Payment Information and change that email address to your iCloud address
That's all you have to do.

How to change primary email address

how do I change primary email address. Of course I won.t be able to receive any responses because my primary email address no longer exist. I.m curious why Paypal will not let me change my address on the profile page.

I found a resolution to this problem. I had been using Chrome when I had the same problem as you. I had to go to the Paypal website from Internet Explorer. Then you can go into your account settings and add a new e-mail address and go through the process of confirming it. At that point you can click on the edit button for the NON-primary email address and it will take you to the edit page where there is a box you can check to make it your primary address. Click on that box and then you can go back and delete the old primary address. Hope this helps. Worked for me.

please also be advised that you may be asked to provide verification details or answer verification questions before Skype can proceed in assisting you resetting your account password. Then after you regain access to your account, you can change your registered email address to your preferred one.

Apple ID - Change primary email address

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, advice appreciated.
I have a new AppleID [email protected] and I'm trying to change my Apple ID and Primary Email Address to my own email address.
I'm following the procedure I've read in countless replies both on the apple forum and elsewhere - but it isn't having it. It simply won't save.
I know that one cannot change me.com and mac.com addresses - is it possible to change an icloud.com address
thanks.

You can't change the iCloud ID, you can add email aliases if you choose (up to 3) they will be in the format [email protected]

Cannot change primary email because password is no...

I need to change my primary email.
Had no problem to add a new email address in the email settings.
But when I try to set the new email address as primary email I am prompted to re-confirm the change by entering my password again. After hitting enter I am always getting an error message: either "400 bad request" or "wrong password" - but it is the right password. I logged in with it before.
Exactly follow the steps from the FAQ - but #7. Enter your existing password, then click Enter." failed...
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA96/how-do-i-change-my-email-address-or-add-another-email-address-...
I am using MacOSX 10.6.8 and tried to change this setting after logging in with Firefox 14.0.1 and Safari 5.1.7 - failed with both browsers with the same error. Must be either an error with your webpage or in the skype account administration.

I found a solution on my own. Skype did not answer me to solve my problem - but: it is their problem: it's a glitch in the Skype webpage or password system! And from my point of view a lack in the matter of how the software developers pay attention to security issues because the problem (but not the solution) was mentioned a few times in the support network....
As I found out the exact problem is:
If you have a skype user password with special characters (e.g. & ! ? * etc.) it will not be accepted by the window (or the script that checks your password) that pops up to re-confirm (with your password) that you want to change you primary email address. Well, and I had a password with special characters
Not very good from a security point of view... as we are always taught that we should use passwords that are a mixture of UPPER and lower case letters, numbers and special characters to gain maximum security.
That means: in the case to change your primary email address Skype does not allow maximum security. And this case is a very personal case - see a story what happens if it’s to easy to change email addresses: How Apple and Amazon Security Flaws Led to My Epic Hacking http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/
Solution (provisional - a proper one has to come from Skype):
1. Change your password into a simple one with letters & numbers only like doUh8me
2. Then go directly to the process of changing you primary email address
3. After that immediately change your password again into a complicated mixture incl special characters etc. like hELLOu@SKYpe!?M8BEuseFULLtomakePW0RDSm0resecure?!?
And please Mr. & Mrs. Skype: get in a hurry to let us use a maximum secure password everywhere where we need to enter it... thank you!

@me as apple ID/change primary email address

I tried to change my apple ID to my alternative apple ID which is a @me.com address, but I can't sinceit seems to be apple domain address and that can't be primary apple ID. But I'm trying to use my @me.com account now as my main email address for all my mail, so how can I change it within my apple account and not receive mails from apple anymore on my old account (which is still my primary email address and apple ID) but to have those sent to my @me.com address?
thanks!

That usually means it's associated with another ID or used somewhere else.
