Lumia 820, change main e-mail address

How do you change (or remove) the principle e-mail address? All other addresses show "delete" as an option but not the first address.
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The main Live ID is also the "Registration" for the phone and apps installed. You will have to pay for paid apps again if you change this. I presume you know where this is leading to. A hard reset is required to change the phone Live ID.

Can I change my .me alias to my main iCloud mail address?

I don't like my .me address which I've set up a year ago (with mobileme) and always use my .me alias.
I would like to alter my .me alias mail address to my main iCloud mail address and/or Apple ID.
When I try to change it in the Apple ID settings it doesn't work.
I was trying to set up a completely new iCloud account but because I already moved from mobileme, the function to set up a new account (therefore to get a new mail address) doesn't even appear.
What can I do? It's very tedious to manually switch the mail account, I am sending emails from, on my iOS devices manually all the time.

You change the name of your ID at https://appleid.apple.com. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40.

I need to change my e-mail address in the app store to enable me to get updates and buy more. How does this happen??

I need to change my e-mail address in the app store, how does that work??

On apple website, seraching on support, the article HT1918 explains.
Log into your apple ID and edit your personal information, where email can be changed as well. All applications as itunes stores, apple store and icloud use this same apple ID, so be aware of this.
I hope I was helpful !

For FaceTime, can you add an additional e-mail that is not your Apple ID e-mail? Everytime I try to do this on my iPad it sends me a verification e-mail saying I am trying to change the e-mail address associated with my apple ID and wants me to verify.

I am trying to add another e-mail address to FaceTime, but do not want to change the e-mail address associated with my Apple ID. Everytime I try to add the e-mail address in my FaceTime settings, it send me a verification e-mail asking me to verify that I want to change to this new e-mail address for my apple ID. I do not. I just want to have an additional e-mail address for people to contact me via FaceTime. Does anyone know how to do this?

You can have multiple addresses associated with your apple id. You will have to verify any changes before they can be added and this is done by sending you an email. This is to protect you from someone else makeing changes to your account.
You can make any changes and view all your info here:

How do you change default e-mail address in iPhoto 9.6?

I've changed my e-mail address but iPhoto defaults to the old one when I try to e-mail photos directly from iPhoto

iPhoto Menu -> Preferences -> Accounts ->
Delete and recreate your email settings.
Alternatively, use Apple's Mail for the job. It has Templates too - and more of them.

How can I change the e-mail address that shows when I try to order from iBooks?

Hi. I recently had to change my e-mail address, and successfully changed my Apple ID to reflect the new e-mail. However, while trying to order a book through iBooks today, I noticed that I was asked for my password and that my old e-mail was showing. How can I change the old address to the new one so that I can order from iBooks? Thank you.

Hi, fromsouth, and thank you for your reply. When I go to store, there is no place that says "sign out" so I can't do this. My old email is showing, and when I click on it I am asked for my password. I tried my old password that I used with that email, but was told it was incorrect. This is so frustrating! I can't do any ordering on my iPad until this problem is solved. Thanks again.

How do I change my E-Mail address (which is also my Apple ID)?

I currently have an Apple ID which is also my current E-Mail address.
I am switching ISPs and need to change my E-Mail address to the new provider.
(E-Mailaddress@old provider.com will become E-Mailaddress@new provider.net) (Switching from Cox Cable to my city's fiber-optic system)
If I do that, will I still have access to my current paid & free apps on my iphone 4S?
What about an iPad (3rd generation) that I plan on purchaing in the next couple of days?
I currently do not have any music nor other purchases on that accout.

How do I change the e-mail address associated with Facetime on my iPhone?

On my iPhone, under Settings -> Facetime, if I switch this to "on", I am immediately prompted to provide a password assocaited to an old e-mail address. How do I change this e-mail address?
My app store account is correct, and I don't think this old e-mail is lurking anywhere else on my phone.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, but I did not see this space to enter a new e-mail as Facetime was set to "off" and every time I turned it on it wanted me to provide a passowrd for my old, non-existent AppleID.
I just noticed, however, that if you just let it fail to log in with the old e-mail three times, THEN it give you a chance to provide a new e-mail via a new prompt "SIgn in with your Apple ID?", which worked.
So lesson learned: let if fail first, then you can fix it,but not before it fails. :-/

You can't change the name of your @me.com or @icloud.com address, but you can set up an alias with a different name that will still deliver email to your iCloud inbox. See http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622.

I tried to launch iCloud on iMac. I Changed my e-mail address recently, and iMac doesn't seem to know it. Even worse, it doesn't know any password I've used with Apple ID. Can anyone help me?

No, i don't. if i did i would have tried it. do you have to sign up an appled ID for iCloud? If the answer is yes then they should mention that in the set-up instructions.

After my company changed the e-mail address, I had to change my Apple-ID. How do I update my purchased Apps after the change?

The renamed Apple ID does not update all the Apps but comes up with the old AppleID, but that ID is not there anymore and neither the old or the new password is working
On the FAQ pages I just find a long list of Apps, stores tc. that I have to update, but no explanation on how to do that.
I do not want to buy all the apps again just because I had to change the e-mail address and because of that the AppleID.
It is ok to remove the free ones and load them again, but the paid one?
How is Apple handling such things?

OK, after reading other and similar threads too, I found a solution myself.
Thought to share it.
On my iPhone, after the change was made at the AppleID site, I had to logoff from the old AppleID and then to relogon with the new/changed one. After that I could update all apps again
