Phone shows wrong email address at Apple ID

On my iPhone 6 Plus:  Settings iTunes & App Store, my Apple ID has the incorrect email address.  Unable to change it.

Hi Hatfieldbk,
The email address I see when I go to the Settings > iTunes & App Store is the Apple ID I am signed in with.  If you are signed in with a different Apple ID than the one you want to use, you will need to sign out of that and sign in again with the desired Apple ID.
For details, see:
iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
Take care,
Nubz

  • HT1766 When I setup my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently entered wrong email address for apple id.  I cannot verify the email sent.  I have a new apple id, but can neither use nor delete the iCloud account.  How do I get an iCloud account for this phone?

    When I set up my new iPhone 5c I inadvertently used wrong email for setting up my apple id.  I have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account.  I cannot delete it either.  How can I get an iCloud account for this phone?

    You said "have since setup an id with correct email, but cannot verify the first account.  I cannot delete it either. ".
    Why can't you verify it?
    Do you not receive the verification email address?
    If problem contact iTunes by:

    Thanks for your reply. Having read through relevant topics it suggests that if I sync my iphone with the correct account on my pc it should use that one thereafter. i will try both.

  • HT5622 I changed my Apple password and I get the information at the wrong email address.  The correct email shows in my Apple account.  Why is the mail going to the wrong email? How do I fix it?

    I changed my Apple password and I get the information back at the wrong email address.  My email address is right under my Apple ID.  How do I get this corrected?

    Okay so I associate the e-mail address as the apple ID and that seems to be a wrong assumption.  I did go to my Apple ID and changes the e-mail address and the password but for the same and only Apple account I have ...
    That is good.  In that case, your one and only account has not changed, just the login credentials you use for it.  All your previous purchases will remain associated with that account, and the new login.
    In essence, an AppleID is an email, but it has two parts.  One is the login email address and password everyone traditionally thinks of as an AppleID.  But that in turn is linked to an account with Apple.  As long as you use the manage Apple ID portal to just change the email address and/or password for your exisiting AppleID, then the internal account tracks along with those changes as well.
    However, on your iOS devices, you will need to log out and then log back in with the new login credentials:
    settings -> iTunes & App Stores - tap your AppleID, and choose log out.  Then log back in with the new email address and new password.

    How can I start over/

  • How to sign into icloud account on iphone when icloud is showing the wrong email address?

    i can sign into my icloud account on pc and i can sign into my apple account on pc and phone, but i cannot sign into icloud on my iphone. icloud is showing the wrong email address on phone only and i don't see where to change it to the correct address.

    Not sure what it is you did. If you have your contacts saved in iCloud (you can check them by signing into your Apple/iCloud account at iCloud.com - check the Contacts there), then changing your Apple ID will have no effect on your iCloud content. Also, when you Sign Out of the iCloud account on your device, you are given the option to keep the Contacts on that device. If you select "Keep", then when you sign back on with the updated Apple/iCloud ID, it will ask you if you want to merge the contacts on your device with your iCloud account. If you select "Merge", then it merges them.
    Also, what the instructions above are having you do is change the Apple ID that the iCloud account is linked to. It is the same Apple account, you are just changing the ID itself. The iCloud account associated with that ID is not changing or being affected in any way. If you created a new Apple ID, then that is the problem. A new ID would be linked to a new/different iCloud account.
    However, either way, if you keep your contacts and then merge them even if you set up a separate ID altogether (which is not what the instructions are telling you to do), your contacts would be intact.

  • Iphone and Ipod stuck on wrong email address as part of apple ID

    Both my ipad and iphone are showing an old address on the apple id when I go to update or make a purchase.  When I log into the store or the account all is in order but the download is not working as the phone and Ipad both show this incorrect address when I try to download or update apps from the store.

    The problem is she entered an email address she thought might be mine ,but actually used by someone else .She said no password was set up .My understanding is an email must have been sent to that address and he or she can set up the password and download .And now I set up an new ID under the ICloud but still the wrong email address still appear as a default one .I tried to delete the set up but I was asked for the password which we don't have .
    Any good idea ?

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

    Hi Aurion23,
    If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

  • My stupid husband put in the wrong email address for his apple id and I can't figure out to change it so that we can all sync?

    My husband put the wrong email address as his apple id and now I can not change it?

    What exactly do you want to sync?    Ideally, each phone should use its own Apple ID to keep contacts, messages, etc. separate.    You wouldn't want to share your contacts and have him accidentally delete one off of his phone which would remove from yours as well.
    If you want to share apps, you can do that by having him log out of iTunes & App Store and logging in with your ID on that app only.

  • HT204053 my new phone has the wrong email address for the icloud, how can I fix that, also, it will not let me link to wifi

  • My 4S died and I was given a new one.  Now I can't get it to sync with my old info. I think I put the wrong email address for my apple ID, how can I change it?

    My 4S died this week and I was told it could not be repaired, so I was issued a new one.  During set up I could not remember my password, so set up a new one.  I think I used the wrong email address, not sure.  At any rate, now my phone and pad don't sync.  How can I get this corrected?  Thanks!

    It looks like your printer isn't on the list of air print enabled printers. It'll still work, you just need to do some tweaking.
    You can see if samsung has any apps to enable printing.
    or
    You can look into a third party app like Print n Share or Print Central.
    Then you can print from your iPad.

  • I have an iPhone 4 and an iPod 4th gen linked to the same email address and apple ID. I am trying to set up a new email address for the iPod so a family member can use it but it doesn't want to recognize the new email account. Where am I going wrong?

    I have an iPhone 4 and a 4th gen iPod linked to the same email address and apple ID. I am trying to change the email address on the iPod so a family member can use it but when I do it says it doesn't recognize the email address. Where am I going wrong ? I just want them to be able to iMessage and email without having to use my email address.

    The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

  • My Apple ID is registered in wrong email address. How can i change it or else when the server reply me to check my email that i can't check due to they sent to wrong email address...

    Please give advice of how can i change my Apple ID (email address) as it is wrong address. Like i just update my iPhone to latest version 6.0, and get the new app, iCloud which need me to key in my Apple ID and Password. I have no choice to use the wrong email address as it is already registerd since from 1st day i use my iPhone. Then i received the reply that tell me to check my email for verifing but the problem is i can't check my gmail as they sent to the email is not my actual gmail address....
    How can i solve this problem?

    You may change your Apple ID to any email address that is not already used as another Apple ID, or that is not already associated with another Apple ID.
    In other words, if I have an Apple ID [email protected], and have alternate email addresses of [email protected] and [email protected], none of them may be used by me or anyone else for an Apple ID, Rescue Email, alternate email, or anything Apple-related.
    If the Apple ID link above indicates your email is already in use then it is. Use https://iforgot.apple.com, select Forgot your Apple ID? and provide the information requested. If the email address is one you created and can still access, you may be able to retrieve it. If it is one someone else created, you will not.
