Mail is using old email address

Hello all,
Years ago I had email contacts with (let us say)
John Doe from Apple
Now, each time I want to send an email to « anybody » at Apple , mail uses the name John Doe/Apple.
So a few months ago, I took away John Doe AND apple from my address book.
But when I like to drop a line to Apple, the JohnDoe/apple address appears again and again.
Even if I modify the address in « mail to : »
How should I erase -for ever- that John Doe « associated » to Apple ?
Thanks. Have a nice day.
Richard

BINGO !
btw : have you ever calculate the number of kilograms of operation manuals we have to digest ? ;-))
btw : from time to time, I visit a friend in Chiang Dao (North West) and we go down the Mekong to Luang Phrabang :-)
Thanks ! Richard

Apple ID using old Email address

I seem to have acquired two Apple IDs and I know I am unable to merge them. The trouble is that the one I use regularly now has an old Email address tied to it and I am unable to edit that address.
How can I change the Email address tied to the ID I use. If I try to enter my current Email address in the profile it tells me there is another ID with that address, but I don't remember the details, ID or password, with that address.

If the address you want to use has ever been associated with an Apple ID in any way then you won't be able to use it (even if you identifty the ID and know the password): you will have to use another non-Apple address which has never been associated with an Apple ID.

How can I get Mail to 'forget' old email addresses?

Several work contacts have recently changed their email addresses, but when I type their names in the To: box in Mail, it brings up both the new and old addresses.
None of these email addresses are in my Address Book, Mail is obviously just picking them up from previous emails I have sent and received to/from these people.
How can I get Mail to 'forget' these old email addresses and just bring up the current ones?
(I have already accidentally sent emails to the old addresses because they are coming up in the drop-down menu. I would much prefer it to be idiot-proof and not bring the out of date addresses up at all)

ITunes using old email address

A few days back I received several warnings onscreen that my me.com security had been compromised. Rather than click on any links, I waited and later accessed my account. I changed the password but I keep getting warnings that my account has been disabled and my account has been locked and to visit iForgot to reset my password. I've done that THREE times now and my iPad STILL uses an old email address to sign in instead of the me.com address and I can't update anything. Same with my iPhone. Anyone else having these problems?
I DID check the statement for the credit card I use for the account and there were indeed 3 transactions I didn't recognize.
How do I at least change the old email address iTunes is using? Throughout my time with this iPad, and sometimes on the Mac, iTunes used my regular email addie to get into iTunes. Now it still uses it but doesn't recognize it. *FacePalm*
Anybody??

Sign off her browswer session and click on "Forgot password click for assistance" link. Because you remember the emaiil address you used to register you can now just reset your password. When you say "don't want to loose the music I had" where are those tunes?

Sending mail from mail.app using multiple email addresses?

I'm familiar with the strategy of going into the account settings and putting in another email separated by a comma. That works great and i've had much success doing that. The problem is when I compose a NEW message, it defaults to my...well...default email address. But when I reply to a previous message it gives me the option of picking and it works. When I compose a new email it also gives me the option of picking but it always defaults back to the original one. There is a setting in the compose section of the preferences that lets you pick what email you want it defaulting to. The problem here is that the dropdown box that lets me select my email only works when i'm replying, not composing. Which is a big problem.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Could you confirm what you mean by true alias? I'm not familiar with that you mean. Currently (to recap) i have multiple accounts linked to my gmail account (all gmail accounts) and i have it set up so i can pick the email address i want to use to send an email online in gmail. After setting up IMAP (not POP) i put in "[email protected], [email protected]" in the account settings which gives me the drop down box and allows me to select which email address i want to sent messages from within mail.app. Now i've sent multiple messages to friends to test this, and here are my results. When responding to an email if i select either of the drop down options it will send from that selected address. When composing an e-mail, even if i pick the options, it will default to my first e-mail address.
It just won't let me pick the one i want to send from when i'm composing a new message, but it will let me choose when i reply to an email. sort of a strange occurrence. I know there is an option under "compose" in the preferences that let me choose the DEFAULT e-mail, but i'm assuming that just picks the first e-mail to show up in the drop down. I'm just not sure why it only works when replying, not replying AND composing.

Using old email address after I've switched to BT

Hi
Hope someone can help me. I'm in the process of switching Broadband from EE to BT. I currently have a Freeserve email address (supplied by EE) which I use to log in to several online accounts (shopping etc) and also for emailing. I also have a Hotmail account. I access both accounts on my laptop through Windows Live Mail.
Once I have switched will I still be able to use the Freeserve account or will it be closed. Also, will the emails that I have already received on my Freeserve account still be accessable or will I have to save them before switchover. I have previously moved some emails from the Freeserve to the Hotmail by right clicking/move to folder etc but will they still be there after switchover or will I have to Forward them one by one.
Finally, will the Freeserve address still be active as a Log in/user name for websites?
While I'm fairly capable at doing stuff I'm not always sure of the technical jargon so please keep any answers as simple as possible,
Many thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum. If the provider keeps your Freeserve account alive, switching broadband ISPs shouldn't make any difference. If not, you may have to make some changes but any messages already downloaded to WLM should be safe. Closure of the account would not prevent you continuing to use the address simply as a username but it might be sensible to update it as you go along.

I am unable to access songs that were bought using old email addresses. The addresses no longer exist. How can I fix this?

I cannot listen to music that I purchased from I tunes years ago, using various email accounts, and various computers. I no longer have those email accounts, so I cannot access the password retrieval from them. I also tried the security questions, and I tunes won't let me access the music that way either. What do I do? All the account names I ever used have been with my name and personal information. Is there someone I can call?

Why are there multiple accounts? Simply change the email address associated with the account when changing email accounts for whatever reason.
If you are no longer able to access the account and cannot log in using the Apple ID, contact iTunes Customer Support via Express Lane.

IPhone is sending mail from an old email address

This one has me stumped. I tried using a gmail account with my phone and decided I didn't like the way things worked (old dog). I liked it when I was just downloading copies of my mail from the mail server independently. So I deleted the gmail account from my iPhone and also from MacMail. It's no where else on any of my Macs or on my iPhone. Yet the phone is still sending out mail from that gmail address, so then of course people respond to it and I never check the mail there. By the time I remember to login to gmail, the messages are days old. Anyone have this problem and how do I exorcise the ghost of gmail?

You need to go to mail settings, open any account, then tap on SMTP. The gmail outgoing server is probably still in the server list, so delete it.
Also, you need to reboot after any email account changes. Hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears.

Apple ID prompt on iPhone 4S uses old email address

My Hotmail address became Outlook, so I've changed my Apple ID.
My iPhone 4S doesn't realise this, though - when it prompts for my password, it uses my old ID.
How do I get it to recognise the update?

Hello 7spencers,
There are a few places in the settings that you can log out of one Apple ID and sign in with the alternate Apple ID.
If you are trying to sign into the iTunes and App Store with your Apple ID, you can use these steps:
Changing your Apple ID account
Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores, then tap the Apple ID signed in.
Sign out of the current Apple ID account and then sign in with another account or create a new Apple ID.
You can find the full article here:
iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1311
I also recommend signing out of FaceTime and Messages. Once you are signed out, you can sign in with the Apple ID you would like to use on that device:
Sign out of iMessage or FaceTime:
iMessage: Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
FaceTime: Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
You can access the full article here:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5223
If you have iCloud setup, you can use these steps to sign out of iCloud on the iPhone:
On your iOS device’s Home screen, go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Delete Account.
Once you have removed the iCloud account from the iCloud settings, you can sign in with your other Apple ID. You can find more information here:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Old email address to new itunes account

have new iphone and want to set up new itunes account using old email address that is linked to home itunes account - how do I change so I can still use my old email address and set up new itunes account? thanks!

Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.

TS3899 When sending an email using my iphone it always goes to an old email address and not the address set up in settings

I have removed an email address from my Iphone and have added a new one. My new one has been set up in the settings as the default account. When trying to send an email the phone always asks for a password for the old email address and will not use the new address. How do I get rid of the old address and use the new one? I have used the delete account to remove the old email address.

Try chnaging the Default Account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
You can also try to Reset All Settings from Settings > General > Reset.
If neither of those work, try restoring the iPhone.

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

I recently had to change my email address to a gmail address and my itunes login on my iphone still uses my old email address.

After going tthrough a recent change with my internet provider, I was forced to change my email address. I now use gmail for my mail. With my new gmail address, I went to itunes and updated my account to reflect my new email addess. At the same time, I also just bought a brand new iphone4s and got it all squared away.
Here's my problem; Now that I've changed my itunes account to the new gmail address, whenever I try to buy an app for my phone or access itunes on my phone, the popup window for me to log into itunes shows my I.D. as my old email address. Now I can't log into itunes or buy an app for my phone.
Can somebody please tell me how to fix this??

I had the same problem. I tried everything I could think of, and I was just about to reset my iPad. The last thing I tried was giving in and telling the App store app that I'd forgotten my password. It took me through the password change process (for the old email address), and now it's downloading and updating apps normally.
It's still using my old email address in the iPad store app, but it works, and it syncs with iTunes on my Macbook with no problem.

HT4864 Can i use my old email address on ICloud?

Can i use my old email address on ICloud?

iCloud mail handles only its own emails - you can't collect mail from other accounts as you could with MobileMe - so all you can do is set up forwarding from other accounts to iCloud. However you can only use the iCloud address as the 'From' address when using its outgoing server, so when you are using your Mac or iPhone you are better off setting up other accounts separately in the Mail app. Only when using iCloud webmail will this then be an issue.

Why is iCal suddenly trying to use an old email address?

In the last month or so iCal keeps sending all of my alerts to an old email address. None of my alerts are set to be sent via email, much less the defunct account. This is happening at the same time that Mail refuses to send and displays the wrong content for emails.

Hey J,
Sure is confusing, but I think we can work it out...
If iTunes is telling you that there's an existing Apple ID with the name you're trying to change your iTunes account to, then, yup, you're probably right that you've used that email address as some other kind of Apple ID in the past...maybe for an iPod registration...or to use the support pages...any number of things).
To make things simple, let's give some fake names to the two email addresses at work here:
let's call your current iTunes account name [email protected]
let's call your other email address [email protected]
1. goto http://myinfo.apple.com and sign in using [email protected] (if the password doesn't work, try going to http://iforgot.apple.com to recover it)
2. once you're there, change the Apple ID (or account name) of that account to something other than "[email protected]". Make it something easy like "[email protected]_old", and make a note of this in case you need that Apple ID in the future.
3. save those changes. you're now done with myinfo.apple.com
4. at this point, you should be A-OK. you can now change your old account name "[email protected]" to "[email protected]".
Hope this helps! =)
