?my apple account used an email from a previous job that i can't access now

My apple account was my ex work email I no longer have access to I thought i had changed it but when I try and update apps my user name still comes up with the old one and won;t let me chane it help please ?

As Linc has said, those purchases are tied to your 'work' Apple ID.
If you could proivde more information, maybe we can help.
So you don't have access to the email address associated with the Apple ID, but do you have your AppleID  assword?  Are you unable to update the purchases in the App Store?  Did you forget the AppleID password at some point, and now you can not recover it?  If so, have you tried using the security questions to recover your account?
Is this account tied to purchasing/billing for your former employeer, or is it a personal account that you happened to use your work email for?
If you can access your account, have you tried the steps in this article?

Apple ID is a little more flexible now in terms of renaming and using alternate email addresses, that is, if you can access the account.

  • Can not retrieve my password using my email address nor birthday as security question, can not access my purchases to update them even if I creat a new account with same email address, what can I do?

    Has anyone had an issue with password and not been able to retrieve it using email nor answering security questions? This is my case, I tred to do both, I do not get any email from Itunes to let me know how to do. If I try to reset it using my security question, which was my birthday, does not work either. I believe someone changed everything for me and I do not know what to do because in oder to update all my purchases I need my original account. I just created one using same ID and e-mail address, all successful, but it does not mean that I'm able to retrieve all my prurchases because it's a new account...Please, any idea, I appreciate your comments and/or feedback, Thanks!!!

    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • AppleWorks last ran under 10.6; I have 10.8 on the MacBook Air.  Is it possible to load a copy of 10.6 to use as a separate startup disk so that I can have access to AppleWorks on the MacBook Air?

    Like many, I have been a Mac user since the original little guy, and have tons of documents created under Claris Works and AppleWorks.  I can still run AppleWorks under 10.6 on my wife's iMac (Intel chips), but not the 10.8 that came with the MacBook Air.  On older machines, I could load and select different versions of the OS as different startup disks.  Would this be possible on the MacBook Air to be able to retain operational access to the AppleWorks software and all those files I have accumulated?

    The answer to your question is YES: to run Appleworks on your MBA, install Snow Leopard Server into Parallels 8 for concurrent access to and use of Appleworks in Mt.Lion:

  • Does my devices that are on my apple account use data from apple phone

    Will all devices on my apple account use data from my apple phone Grimm at&t.  Snapchat or face time

    Are you referring to cellular data? Is your iPad wifi + cellular? Your iPad cellular is separate from your iPhone cellular account.
    Facetime on an iPad only works on wifi.
    Can you explain your concern?

  • HT5621 I recently changed my apple id email from an old one to a new one and now I can't sign out of my old one on my iPhone 5 because it says I need a password. I cannot give that password because it is part of the old apple ID. How do I change IDs?

    Hi sharonpalencia, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand it can be very frustrating when you cannot sign in, or sign out in this case, to your Apple ID. In this situation you may need to temporarily edit your Apple ID back to the original email address so that you can sign out. Once signed out, edit the Apple ID back to the new email address and sign in. Please use the attached article for further information. 
    If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
    Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
    If you're still asked for your previous Apple ID password, continue to the next step.
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

  • TS2890 will I no longer be able to sign into my apple account using AOL after 30th March

    I received an e-mail in my junk folder in AOL, claiming to to be from iTunes, saying that after the 30th March I will no longer be able to sign into my Apple account using AOL. Is this correct, or is this a Spam?

    I never heard of that. Did it include a link to click on? Did you click on it?
    Can you post the headers from that email? That will help determine if it really came from iTunes
    Since it also went to your SPAM folder it sure sounds like SPAM

  • How do I set up an account to receive email from my SMTP relay Server. Have I made a SMTP Server config error?

    Hi,
    How do I set up an account to receive email from my SMTP Relay Server?
    I've setup the SMTP feature and set my Server to use anonymous authentication.
    Things appear to look ok.
    But I can't connect make a test connection to it when I am trying to add an email account in Outlook.
    I could be doing something wrong here.
    This is my process.
    1. I have setup my SMTP Server.
    2. Created a user account in AD and given it an email address.
    3. Opened Outlook and tried to manually add a POP3 account by specifying the incoming and outgoing Server details.
    But when I go to test the connection on the email setup it keeps failing.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple throughiTunes Store Support.

    Are you sure ? As far as I know an Apple ID can only be associated with one email address.
    Go to My Apple ID and click Manage your account

    Apple IDs cannot be deleted.
    Anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

  • How do I backup or copy an email account or individual emails from a closed email account

    How do I backup or copy an email account or individual emails from a former employer on my iPhone 5s.  I can open the emails, but don't have access to the server - just messages on iPhone.  Thanks!

    Hello stoutstout,
    I imagine that forwarding the email does not function (since your account is closed), so I do not know what other options there would be.
    I know this is inconvenient (and unprofessional if you need those emails forwarded) but I would probably just screen shot all the important information I need from these emails.

  • HT204053 i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to

    i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to my mac. Im not exactly technology savy but id love to figure this out.

    I have also noticed the same "problem".  I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.
