Profile update should allow for change of email address

Dear sirs,
Member profile update should allow for change of email address otherwise one has to unsubscribe their old email address and re-subscribe the new one.
Please make it happen.

I worked out the answer to my own question.
1. Logged into my Apple ID
2. Editited my Apple ID email address (old) and changed it to my @me.com address (ignored the red warning about Apple ID must not use a domain owned by Apple) and pressed the blue Save Changes button anyway at the bottom of the page.
This created a new Primary Email Address with the @me.com (which needed to be verified etc.)
The Primary Email Address can now also be changed to my @icloud.com address if I wish (which also needs to be verified.
I would now like to be able to use the option to 'Make my Apple ID and Prmary email address one and the same'. So I can finally get rid of my old e-mail address as my Apple ID. It can give me the option to change it to my @icloud.com address, but when I press submit, it does not do anything. This feature does not seem to work yet. I suppose that is another question / request.

I changed my email address but App Store is not updated

I changed my email address and it has been verified and I get emails from Apple to this new address, but when I go to App Store and try to update on my iPad the little box gives my old email address, so when I put in the correct password it says 'your Apple ID or password is incorrect'. Any help would be welcome.

I take it that the old email address was your Apple ID. It sounds like you created a new Apple ID with your new email address. Unfortunately that was not the best way to go about the issue. Instead of making a new Apple ID, your should have just changed the email address for the old Apple ID.
Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID -
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
Now the issue is that content bought with your old Apple ID will be forever associated with that Apple ID. There is no way to change that. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another ID. So the only way that you will be able to update the content bought with the old ID is to use the old ID. There is no way around that fact.

HT201272 I changed my email address and now I can't update my apps

I am unable to update purchases I made with my old email address since I updated my apple account with my new email.
When I try to update an old app I am prompted to put in my password for my old address, therefore it does not recognise the password, and password reminder doesn't work as its not the email in my account anymore.
How can I update these apps or change the email address associated with them?

Did you just change your address, or create a new iTunes account? If it is not a new account you will first have to fix the password problem. Email iTunes Store support if you cannot figure out how to resolve the problem. Have you updated your login on the phone, in addition to iTunes on your computer?
To update your iPhone you need to install the latest version of iTunes (10.5). You also need an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4. The 3G cannot be upgraded beyond 4.2.1.

Unfortunately, this is no longer possible. I believe you lost this ability when the forum software changed. At this point, your only option is to create a new account with the new email address.

On my ipod touch how do I change the email address where my itunes receips go?

Hi ipodreceipts,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can change the email address your receipts go to on your iPod touch by following these instructions and changing the email instead of the password:
iTunes Store settings - iPod touch
http://help.apple.com/ipodtouch/7/#/iph17ff8a531
To set options for iTunes Store, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. You can:
View or edit your account. Tap your Apple ID, then tap View Apple ID. To change your password, tap the Apple ID field.
This article has a method for changing the email address receipts go to using a computer:

I am trying to update my apps on my iPhone. I recently change my apple ID to a new email address. When I go to update the pop us is asking for the password for my old email address.

I recently changed my apple ID to my new email address. On my iPhone 4 I am trying to update apps and it asks me for my apple ID password for my old email address. How do I change to my new email address?

Did you change the Apple ID primary email to another email address or did you create a whole new Apple ID?
Go to settings>itunes & app store and if it shows your old apple id at the top then tap on it then sign out and then sign in with your new apple id email.

HT1420 I previously purchased apps using my hotmail email address as my Apple ID.Now that hotmail has joined skype, I changed my email address to gmail & updated my email details on my Apple ID for my new Gmail account.How do I transfer previous purchases

I previously purchased several apps from the app store using my AppleID which was using my previous hotmail email address details. Now that hotmail is joined with Skype, I changed my email address to Gmail and then updated the information for my AppleID. Now when I view the purchase History using the new email
address to sign in to my AppleID, I cannot view the previous purchases which I had when I had a Hotmail account. I can only view recent purchases and furthermore I cannot print the list of items purchased. I have been able to download / update previous purchases and download them again by signing in with
my previous AppleID information but I want to know how I can transfer the information to my new account. Another problem I am having is that it shows there are 3 pages of purchases but I cannot view the 3rd page.

You can't merge Apple IDs. You also can't cancel (delete) and existing ID, you can only choose to stop using it.
If your old ID was compromised and you can no longer access it, you'll have to contact Apple for assistance. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then then 'Apple ID account Security’.

I have Apps that need to be updated on my iPad, but my old email address is imbedded on the password screen. How do I get my new email address there so that my submission goes through to iTunes?

Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap the old ID, sign out, sign in with the new one.

I have icloud on all my devices I changed my email address and my password for them, but I can't seem to change it all for icloud. It won't let me. I keep getting a window popping up on all them asking to go to settings but in settings it won't allow me

I cannot seem to change my email address and password on icloud. I have changed it in itunes. But On all my apple products it will not let me, I just keep getting a window popping up on all of them asking me to go to settings but when I go into setting I cannot get it to change. Help !!!

Go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with your new credentials. If all you did was modify your existing ID rather than creating and entirely new ID, you can choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted. Your data will still be in iCloud and will download to your phone when you sign back in.

How can I change my primary email address to the one that I use for my rescue email address?

I no longer use the email address associated with my apple ID account and the rescue email address I used is now my primary email address for everything, since it its not allowing me to just simply change my email address since its my rescue email address i want it changing to, can it be done and how?! :S Thank you!

You will need to remove it as your rescue email : log into your account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, select the 'Password And Security' section on your account's screen, and answer the two security questions that show - you should then be taken to another screen where you can change or remove your rescue email address.
Then try logging out of your account and then log back in and see if you can then use it as your primary email address.

HT201493 How do I change an email address to a name for friends I am following?

Does anyone know how I can update email addresses to actual names? I have deleted and reinstalled the app with no luck.

If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
[To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

Difficulty changing icloud email address for ipod touch 4thG

hi on the ipod touch how do you change the email address for the icloud because the area is greyed out, i want to change the address because the account was hacked and is unusuable now i have a new email address but it wont allow me to change the address

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 > 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.

Can't change my email address for this forum

I need to change my email address for this suport forum, but can't figure out how to do it. If I go to my profile, I can see it but I can't change it. And it's different from my main Apple ID which is set already set correctly with the email address I want to use.
How do I do this?

After a long couple of sessions with Apple tech support, here's what I've learned (for the benefit of others):
If you have more than one Apple ID like I do, then the original one that you used to sign into these forums is the one you're stuck with.
You can change that original ID's email address and/or password, but you must keep using that "first" set of credentials. If you try to sign in with your newer Apple ID, it won't work, it'll keep prompting you for the old ID, so make sure you write it (and the password) down somewhere.
I made the original mistake of creating a 2nd Apple ID when I closed an old email account a couple of years ago and needed to stop using that old email address. What I should have done, and will apparently have to pay for forever, was to simply change the email address on the 1st Apple ID.
Bottom line from my experience is be sure to only use one Apple ID. If you create another, you'll be stuck with both for all time and have to use one or the other depending on which one you originally used in a particular situation. For example, when I get a new iPhone, I have to use the old Apple ID to download all the apps 2 years old and older, then sign out and back in with the new ID to download all the apps 2 years old or newer. What a pain, but Apple has no way of combining them. The tech rep said to send feedback, which I've already done.
