Need to change outgoing mail address which is from an old account

We recently switched to a new internet service provider, but the old address is by default still being sent as the outgoing (from:) address in the Mail application. Is there a way to remove that address? The problem is not with the service provider because I have been able to check the current valid inbox address through the service provider's homepage online. The problem must lie with a setting in the computer that has retained the old address as a default.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you're sending from the new account, that address is the outgoing mail address, by default. Did you try deleting the server of the old account? It could be sending mail out through that server instead of the one provided by the new ISP, which would change the outgoing mail address.
Go to Preferences > Accounts and select the new account; look near the bottom of the window where it says "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" and check to be sure that is set to the server provided by your new mail provider. If it's not, you need to select the correct one from the pop-down list.

Need to change E-mail address on my Spotify Account

I need to change my e-mail address that I used to set up my Spotify account as the e-mail address is no longer active. When I try to change it within the Spotify account I can't as my password isn't recognized under my new e-mail address, which of course hasn't been set up yet. Does anyone please have any suggestions on how to change? I do have the password correct as it accepts my password under the outdated e-mail address.

Well that is certainly inconvenient. I'm not sure the reason that you are unable to change your email address. It might help to contact Spotify by filling out the contact form here: https://www.spotify.com/about-us/contact/contact-spotify-support/?contact . They should be able to change your email address for you since you are unable to do so. Be sure to give them both the old and the new address, as well as any other info they might need to locate your account. Hopefully they can get your account fixed up for you quickly!

Need to Change E-mail address - will I lose purchased content?

Hello:
I have just switched service providers and need to update the e-mail address tied to my adobe account which I have used to authorise both my eDoc purchases and my Sony Reader.
My fear is that in doing so, I will lose the ability to read all of my e-Docs authorised to my current e-mail account and I am also concerned about updating my Sony Reader to the new details.
I am concerned that Adobe has tied username for authorisation directly to e-mail, which is prone to changes when switching jobs or networks and have also been a bit dismayed to not find any details about updating e-mail account in Adobe's documentation - other than a warning that changing your e-mail affects your username and therefore your authorisations.
Can anyone please provide me with some help on how to switch my e-mail address and still be able to read purchased e-doc content and update my sony reader?
Cheers,

I need to change my email address which iCloud is showing as its offenisive

Can anyone help

If you mean you mean you need to change the iCloud ID, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I recently had to delete my yahoo email,which also serves as my apple id,is there anyway for me to transfer all the purchased data from my old account to a new account?

I recently had to delete my yahoo e-mail account ,which is also my apple ID ,is there anyway that i can transfer all my purchased songs,pictures,and apps to a new apple account?

You do not need to create a new Apple ID, you just need to change the email address (which is your username) for your Apple ID. People change email providers all the time and they just change the ID. In fact, you do not want to create a new ID because you cannot transfer everything to a new ID. All purchases are tied to the ID that was used to make the purchases.

HT1918 How do I change my RESCUE e-mail address, which,now thatI've moved, happens to be the same as my NEW e-mail address?

How do I update my e-mail address which is the same as my RESCUE e-mail address? I have moved and cancelled my old ISP and any associated e-mails with them, and moved my email address to GMAIL. It happens to be the same as my original Rescue email so I need to change the RESCUE email address and you don't give me that option on the Account/E-mail Change page, you just keep kicking me back to "Your email address can't be the same as your Rescue email address" and leave me hanging!

To change your rescue e-mail goto
My Apple Id
Then login and goto security
There should ask you for your security questions answer them and it will take you to a page where you can change them
On that page their should be an area that says "Rescue E-mail"
Click delete or change (if you click change type new rescue e-mail you want)
After that click save
Then you can change your primary e-mail.
Hope this helps

Did you change the email address or create a new Apple ID?
If the email address associated with the account was merely changed, sign out of the Apple ID on the devices and sign in using the new credentials.

HT2204 Changed e-mail address & Apple ID, verified by Apple. Itunes changed but cannot get Messages, Facetime or Icloud. Keep on throwing up old email address & won't accept new or old password. Help needed!

Changed e-mail address & Apple ID. Verified by Apple. Itunes & email working but cannot access Messages,Facetime & Icloud. Keep throwing up old email address & wont accept either new or old passwords. Anyone got a solution?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

How to change e-mail address in iCloud IMAP

how to change e-mail address in iCloud IMAP. i have to change it to another e-mail address.
please help
please find in image.

Welcome to the Apple community usama.butt.
Unfortunately you cannot change an iCloud mail address once you have created it. You can however use an iCloud alias which you can set up at iCloud.com.
To create an alias.....
Navigate to the Mail feature at iCloud.com and click on the gear icon in the bottom left corner. Choose Preferences from the drop down menu, then select accounts from the options across the top, here you can create your alias.

I need to change the email address in iCloud

I need to change the email address in iCloud

What do you mean? - the address you use for login or the @icloud.com email address created when you opened your iCloud account?
LOGIN
If your login is an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address you cannot change it. If it is a non-Apple email address you can change it, but please be careful to follow the procedure outlined here:
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
EMAIL ADDRESS
Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

Hi adamsfly,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you changed your email address and iCloud is looking to sign in with the old Apple ID email. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
