    Can I change my email address to something else before the @?

    You can create an email alias, but you can't change the address totally without creating a brand new iCloud account.

  • How do I un-link my email address from someone else's Apple ID?

    Recently someone in India bought an iPhone 5 and now every time he downloads an app to it, I get the receipt for it in my inbox. His apple ID is his gmail address, which is somewhat similar to mine, so I'm guessing he set my email address as his accidentally, and was apparently able to do so without verification (I find it hard to believe Apple would allow this, but apparently they do). I tried to log on to his Apple ID account to change the settings, but the recovery email address for the password reset is not set to my email address. So, can anyone help me figure out how to get his Apple ID unlinked from my email address? I would be grateful.
    I got on gmail ca 2004 and was able to get simply my first name @gmail, which seemed amazing at the time, but now that the whole Indian subcontinent is getting online in full force, with many people apparently not understanding that you can't just use any email address you want, and because my first name is a common name in Pakistan and India, people accidentally sign me up for mailing lists over there multiple times a day. I get resumes sent to me daily, responses for classified ads that I didn't post, and often the sites are set up such that I have to log on to unsubscribe, but I don't have the password so I can't...it's getting out of control!  How is it possible that Apple allows this kind of mistake as well by not requiring email verification?

    I made up the names edward and daniel, it's not actually anyone's email address, so no need for concern.
    In practice, I'm sure you're right that I would have fewer problems with a longer, more complex email address. But in principal, the problem remains. I could sign up for the Apple ID
    1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678@gmail
    and someone else could sign up for the Apple ID
    1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678+1@gmail
    and apple would have no problem with it, even though for all intents and purposes it's the same email address. So the problem is not just the ambiguity of my, to use Dahveed's words, overly simplistic and unsophisticated, email address:
    there is a fundamental flaw in the way Apple links email addresses to accounts that allows for this ambiguity.  If they followed the same conventions that gmail did, there would be no possibility of this problem.

  • Receiving emails addressed to someone else

    I recently switched my SIM card to a Blackberry I purchased overseas. I updated Blackberry (BIS) with the new handset's PIN and IMEI and all was well - I started receiving my emails. Then a day later I started receiving emails sent to someone I've never heard of to an email address I've never heard of. What could be wrong?? Appreciate any guidance!

    You'll have to track down the original owner and ask them to contact THEIR old BIS provider ans ask that provider to remove the BlackBerry's PIN from their system.  BIS email is delivered by PIN and requires no special setup to be received - only to be sent from that email address.
    Use the unwanted email to track the person down.

  • How do I report use of my email address by someone else (not my apple ID)

    Hi there,
    Someone has registered on apple, using my gmail address. This isn't my apple ID, but I don't want someone else using my email address for their account. Likewise, I don't want to end up receiving personal info or anything from this person as they use their account. How do I report this and get it stopped?
    Thank you
    Richard

    Thank you anyway. I did try finding an appropriate discussion group to place this question but nothing came close! Thanks again for your help. I'll try and see if Apple Chat for purchase options can put me through to support tomorrow. They're closed for now.

  • Trying to set up AppleId but says personal email used by someone else?

    I was trying to help my son create an AppleId.  We used his personal email address (as Apple suggested) as his ID however received a message that it was already being used.  I did a password reset, he received an email addressed to someone else.  I'm not a strong user of Apple so I'm a little unsure on how to proceed.  I'm a little confused on how 2 people can utilize the same email address.  Looking for some guidance.

    Hi Foto_Mom,

    very frustrated iphone user !!

    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.

  • HT204266 My apple ID for the App Store on my Iphone is incorrect.  It is the email address of someone on my contact list and not me.  How do I change the Apple ID Password  on my Iphone to my Apple ID Password

    When I go on the App Store App on my Iphone my Apple ID is not correct.  It is the email address of someone on my contact list.  How can I correct this and replace the incorrect Apple ID with my ID?

    Go to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, click on the Apple ID. Sign out. Click again and sign in with your Apple ID.
    Is it possible that this someone in your contact list had the phone and downloaded an app for you?

    How can I change the email address linked to my iCloud account for iPhone 4s?

    If it is your iCloud mail address you want to change, you can't.

    IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
    using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call.  see the link.
    Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

  • I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account both on my itunes and iphone. how do I do this without completely wiping the phone?

    I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account on both my itunes and iphone. How do I do this without completely wiping the phone.
    Also I tried to update to iOS6 and it is asking for my password under my old signin and locked me out of my phone.
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    This explains how to change your ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621.  After changing your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, delete the existing account (which only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud), then sign back in with the new ID.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the existing account.
    If you are signed into your account on your Mac, you will need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

    My iPad, Macbook and Apple TV are all set up with the same iCloud email address.  I bought the iPhone 6 and accidentally set the iCloud up with a different email.  My phone will not let me change the email address to be the same as my other devices, it tells me that email is already being used.

    Yes it will, just sign out, then sign back in with the correct address.

  • I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    I want to delete my icloud-account from my iphone 5 and then register again, because I want to change my email-address/account name. What would be the steps to follow? How do I make sure I do not lose any information stored on/in my iphone 5?

    You would have to delete the existing iCloud account and create a wholly new one - you cannot change the @icloud.com email address of the one you already have.  To make a new one, you will also need an new AppleID as any AppleID can only have one iCloud account associated with it.
    Deleting the account will not delete anything off your device (if prompted for things like contacts, choose to keep them).  You will have to sync everything anew with the new account as you cannot move your sync'd content, your old backups or anything else from one iCloud account to another.  You will have to set up sync again and let it sync to the new account, and then make new backups to the new account as well.
