Problem with changin primary e-mail

Trying to change primary e-mail, as the account I am using will soon expire when I leave that work place. Told cannot use the new e-mail account chosen, because a device may already be registered under it. I don't think this is the case. What's my next step? I don't see a help contact that's relevant to this.
Thanks.

Hi HanusiaT,
Happy Holidays!  The resources below will explain how to change your Apple ID to a different email address.  I've also included a link to contact our Apple ID Security team if you need additional assistance.
Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667
In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account. You can change your Apple ID to any other email address you control, as long as it's not already being used and doesn't end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
Use these steps to reset your Apple ID:
Sign out of iCloud, the iTunes Store, App Store, FaceTime, Find My Friends, Find My iPhone, and iMessage on each device that uses your current Apple ID for these services.
Go to My Apple ID.
Select Manage your Apple ID and sign in. Forgot your password?
Select Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
Enter the email address that you want to use as your Apple ID, then select Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now. Didn't receive the email?
When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your new Apple ID email address and password. When you see a message that verification is complete, you can start using your updated Apple ID.
Remember to update the features and services that you use with Apple ID.

If you have an Apple ID and try to use the same email address to create a new one at the iTunes Store, you'll see a message that says, "The email address you entered is already being used for an Apple Account. If it is yours, you can cancel and Sign In using that Apple Account." If this happens, click Cancel and sign in using your Apple ID.

  • Problems with attached documents in Mail and Docs To Go

    Hello everybody.
    I've found a problem with attached documents in Mail. In fact, if I click on attached documents with .doc (microsoft office word 97-2004) and files in .docx Office Open .xml, the iPad doesn't open them, also if I click in "Open with Docs To Go (which should support these files' format)".
    How can I do? There's an application or another way to open these files?
    Other Informations:

  • Can not register with my primary e-mail or change e-mail

    Hello, I'm new on this forum (just registered)
    At first, sorry for my English, I'm Ukrainian, and don't know English well.
    When I try to register on this forum with my primary e-mail  edio [@] ukr.net  , I get a message, that this mail is banned. Can it be fixed?

  • Problem with editing primary email keeps asking fo...

    Why does a security password window come up when I try to edit profile information such as the primary email, and when I type in my password it doesnt accept it? Ive reset my password and have logged in to my skype account but this keeps happening when I go to change the primary email.

    I am having the same problems with Mac eMail.  I have two Macs, one that is running Lion and the other is running Snow Leopard.  I have spent days on the phone with Apple and Verizon and they are blaming each other and neither have a solution.  Have you been able to get a response?  It looks like this is something that happens from time to time but never really gets fixed.
    Please let me know if there has been a fix since the Mac Mail update in July?  With the Union Issues Verizon doesn't have enough people to address the issues both in person ( I had a tech come to the house and he didn't know anything about software ) or on the phone.  They keep kicking it back to Apple.  I also have a couple iPhones and both are working fine. So this seems to be OS X specific.  I've had Macs and iPhones for 3 years or more. 
    Just makes me think something was done to the mail servers they didn't get correct.

  • Problem with Cyrillic fonts in Mail

    I have a problem with Mail mangling Cyrillic fonts. It happens like this:
    1. I create a new mail. I set my input locale to Bulgarian - Phonetic.
    2. I type out the email and send it to someone (afraid I don't know their config).
    3. The other person replies - doesn't seem to matter whether it's in English or Cyrillic. Their reply appears perfectly, and also my quoted original text from 1 is fine in their reply when looking at it in my Inbox.
    4. I then reply to their reply in Cyrillic as per step 1 above, except by pressing reply, rather than New Mail.
    What happens then is as follows:
    a - the recipient receives my email and reads the Cyrillic content just fine
    b - the email that appears in my Sent folder has all Cyrillic content in the message from steps 1-4 above mangled. The mangling moves Cyrillic letters about - i.e. all characters are in cyrillic and the same original characters always map to the same character, they're just wrong. e.g. Дени gets mapped to дЕОЙ. Стефан maps to уФЕЖБО.
    This is a bit annoying - as I have no record of the sent mail, and you're never quite sure whether the mangling is just in the sent folder or whether the recipient is also getting the mangled text.
    Any thoughts? I haven't been able to find anyone with a similar problem on these forums.
    Thanks in advance,
    Stephan
    *My configuration*
    I'm running Leopard 10.5.6 on a PowerBook.
    My Mail version is Version 3.5 (930.3)
    Mail is configured to use:
    Lucida Grande 11 for Mailbox Font
    Lucide Grande 12 for Message List Font
    Helvetica 12 for Message Font
    My mac has the following input locales installed:
    British
    Bulgarian (phonetic)

    It might be helpful to add that in Mail->Preferences->Composing the setting is Plain Text.
    And also that if I reply to myself all day long, this problem doesn't occur - its only when replying to someone else.

  • Problem with attaching files to mail message

    Hello,
    I have problem with my mail app. I'm using spaces for better organization. When I wanna add some file to mail message I usually go to different desktop (space), where I have the file I wanna attach. I grab it move to right up corner to activate spaces, than move to desktop (space) with mail.app and press spacebar (it activates the desktop immediately). At that time it also start random app, which is in my dock.
    You can see it in my youtube video.
    How can avoid this strange thing happen?
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUypUnPHZvc
    I'm using MacBook Pro 15'', Snow Leopard - latest updates. I've reinstalled my mac two days ago, so no garbage should be in.

    Thanks for quick reply.
    I don't have selected "always..." so I also tried it with selected "always...".
    Now I discovered that it has nothing to do with the mail. I've tried just move some file from one of spaces (desktop) to another using the spacebar for faster switching and it did the same. It opens random app from Dock.
    So now this topic is in wrong discussion. I will post it to correct discussion...

  • I pad 2 problems with ISO 7 and mail

    Restart your Mac. See if that makes a difference.

  • Problem with an account of Mail

    I had, with Leopard, a Mail account that did not want to work and, after the installation of Lion, I tried to repair it.
    The first thing that I did was to remove completely from Mail that account. Than I started by loading, from Mail Preferences, my Name, the Mail Address, the Pop, the SMTP and all other data, but the account did not wanted to work nor receiving nor transmitting. During the registration of the necessary data Mail notified me that, if I wanted to continue, I had to proceed Manually. At the end of registration it appeared on the right side of the "Sent" icon a triangle with an exclamation point inside. I repeated more times the account registration operation, all with negative results. I have also removed from User/Library/Preferences the file "apple.com.mail.plist" and some files in the "Mail" folder of User/Library and repeated again the registration process: always without success. At that time, to check the validity of the account parameters that I utilized, I registered the same account in Windows XP of the same iMac, and it worked immediately, both receiving and sending mails. That means that the utilized parameters are correct.
    It seems that, in some place in OSX 10.7.1 of my iMac some wrong data, loaded when the operating system was Leopard, remain in some file that I'm not able to find and to remove.
    Any ideas on how to fix the problem?
    Notice that on the same computer (in Mac side) I have other two Mail Accounts that work perfectly.
    Regards
    Roberto

    Hello
    Just for test ,make a new account ( system pref ->account -> + button ) , and try configure mail again
    if that work , your problem with mail locate on your account  ( preference , caches ,font somwhere into library folder )
    if not work in new accout , may have problem in mail app or system
    HTH

    PS : delet files into library folder could be VERRY destructive !! be carefull

  • Problems with sent box, reindexing mail

    I am in the middle of a mail crisis and in need of help.  I apologize for the longwinded explanation, but I thought I would be thorough in the hopes that it will help me get help.
    It started with my sent box (which is very large) "dragging" when I ran searches in it (which I often have to do with my work).
    Firstly, I tried to rebuild the sent box.  Mail froze halfway through the process and I had to force quit it.  When I started mail again, I noticed that the content of the messages were not correlating to the right message headers (recipient or subject line).  I tried rebuilding the sent box again.  This time, it went a little farther before freezing (it froze when the activity window indicated something was being done with the attachments - I can't remember exactly what).  After force quitting again, I noticed that the messages in the sent box were correlating properly but it was stil very slow in searches, the box took a real long time to open, and sometimes it would freeze mail.
    I then tried to reindex mail as per instructions found on the apple site: quit mail, go to the mail data folder, remove the envelope foldes, and re-start mail, which would cause mail to have to import the messages again.  I made sure I did a back to up prior to trying this.  When doing so, my time capsule accused that it didn't have enough space, and that is when I first noticed that my HD was bown up to near its capacity; strange, I thought, but proceeded to erase some media to make room so I could finish the back up.  The importing/reindexing started and all was moving along fine until it got to the (now evil) sent box...  it froze.  I tried a couple of times, and it kept freezing. 
    I tried to go back to where I was before reindexing by erasing the new envelope folders that had been created, and replacing them with the ones that were there before and I had removed.  It seemingly worked as Mail started again.  However, now had more issues.  First, my inbox was empty...  I had to restore it from time machine back up.  Then, I noticed that the content of the messages in all of my mailboxes would not load.  I could see the messages and their previews, but the content would not load when I clicked on the messages.  All of that on top of the sent box conitunuing to misbehave. 
    By this time, I started getting messages from the OS about my startup disk being almost full (real strange since I had just freed up close to 80 GB!).  I knew something was wrong with that, but went ahead and got rid of another 30GB so I could proceed with trying to fix mail and would come back to this problem later.
    I decided to try the reindexing again.  Tried the terminal method, but nothing seemed to happen.  Tried the replacing of the envelope folders again, and the same happened:  froze and my HD went to capacity again.  I then realized that the reindexing and the filling of the HD had to be directly connected.  After some research, I downloaded an app (whatsize) to find heavy or duplicate files, and, sure enough, there were hundreds of GB in duplicate mail data (sent box) in my library.  The Whatsize app is currently working to sort out all of the duplicate files (a 20 hour process).  This is my first time using this app, but I am thinking that, upon conclusion, I should be able to delete the duplicates...
    That brings to where I am at now.  Where to go from here?  After (if) deleting the duplicates, what is the best way to restablish Mail?
    Any help will be much appreciated as I cannot work without Mail.

    In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post, to let me see the names of the files and folders present at the root level of the Mail folder.
    Before actually posting that information, you may edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you wish to keep private, e.g. you may replace any real username with "username" to hide your real email address if you wish; similarly, you may disguise any domain names you don't want to be revealed. Try to be consistent in how you disguise those details, though, as we may need to refer to them in subsequent posts.
    Now, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. With that folder open, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains. Again, you may disguise any mailbox names you wish to keep private. Be careful to not alter any suffixes, though.
    Finally, for the two accounts involved in the problem, locate the account folders within ~/Library/Mail/ -- their name begins with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. For each account folder, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

  • Are others having problems with Lion and btinternet mail ?

    Since using OS-X Lion many odd things have been happening , especially with Mail ( 5.1).
    The problems may be related to the combination of Lion/Mail 5.1 and btinternet as my ISP.
    1. Since using Lion, with (Mac) Mail  I have been unable to use BTinternet's 'POP' mail - although my local Apple Store Genius tells me that it was not a good choice and I'm well rid of it - in favour of IMAP mail
    2. BT has, recently improved the security of its IMAP mail, so perhaps IMAP is the best choice.  In any event Mac Mail under Lion appears to take over as soon as bt is mentioned and signs me up automatically for IMAP. Even if I override the automatic process it still will not let me go to bt's POP mail.
    3. HOWEVER ( it's a big one!), whilst the incoming IMAP mail seems O.K. it frequently won't let me send mail. It simply puts it into drafts when I click send.
    4. Sometimes, if I go away and make a coffee ( not mandatory) and come back ten minutes later it will have sent the mail - but leaves a copy in 'drafts'. I know it has sent it because it appears in the Send box - despite there being no sign on any movement showing sending when I leave the machine ...
    5. I have a Macbook and a desktop machine ( Mac Pro). Both have the same problem - both have the same settings.
    6. I was able to demonstrate the problem to a Genius at the Apple Store. We deleted the account and rentered it and had the same problem - no sending.
    In a 45 minute sending we could not solve it.
    7. I went home and found that the drafts in Mail on the desktop had all gone and had been sent.
    8. Today, as I write outgoing mails and click send they go straight into the Drafts again.
    Any ideas? I really can't face an hour on the phone to an Mac incompetent in Mumbai .....
    My btinternet webmail is behaving normally.
    Gordon

    I do the same, I have different backgrounds for each desktop. I don't have any problem with it. You could try holding the mouse over prefferances and selecting options , This Desktop, and do the same in each desctop and changing the desktop background in each.
    You may allready do this, but it could be worth a shot to do it again.

I've tried deleting and reading without success. I think its a problem with the revert port number - the default is 465. I think it should be 587 but it won't let me change it. Any suggestion?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
