Release email address from old apple id

long time ago - before family accounts - I created an appleid for my daughter so she could use facetime on her ipod - and used her email address as the appleid. Now in the process to set up a "family" account for her so she now has a icloud.com account. What I'm unable to figure out is how I can release her email address from the previous appleid so I can add it to the new Family account appleid. It keeps on complaining about already being associated with anothe apple id.
Any ideas on how to break through that??
thnx
Dennis

Right, once an email address is associated wth a particular Apple ID, it is forever tied t that Apple ID.
Not sure why you don't just set up an iCloud account on her existing ID and then invited her to join Family Sharing?

How do I remove an old email address from my apple ID account?

Depending upon the address (some Apple addresses can't be removed) then you may be able to remove it by logging into the account via the 'manage your apple id' link on http://appleid.apple.com

HT201342 I would like to transfer an icloud email address from one apple id to a different apple id. Is this possible?

How can I transfer an icloud email address from one apple id to another apple id?

It isn't possible. If you need to use a different iCloud account with a different ID as your primary iCloud account, you can still set up your other iCloud address as a secondary account by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud, signing in with your ID and turning Mail to on. It will be fetch rather than push email, however, as push is only supported in the primary account.

How to delete an old email address from an Apple ID

We have a number of iPads, iPhones, iPods etc. These all share the same Apple ID. In the past I used an email address from BT which I no longer have access to and have forgotten the password to. We now have an active Apple ID which I have used for this iPad. I have tried to reset this iPad but it will not allow me to or to delete and update the iCloud backup as it asks for the old BT internet Apple ID password, even though the iPad is logged in with the new active one. Please advise how I can delete the old account from the iPad.

If the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreated the 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, 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.

How can I remove an email address from one apple account and associate it with another?

I created an appleID account to use with the mac AppStore without realising i previously had an appleID account from my first iPod touch.
Now with OSX 10.8 I want to use the email address from the old account with the new account for Messages.app without having to manage 2 logins.
I've followed the steps found on the support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68 under the section "How to add an additional email address that is already associated with another Apple ID" but each time I attempt to add the removed email address from the new account to the old account the input box shows the error: Email address is already verified for another Apple ID.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution?

Transferring email address from old DNS to Business Catalyst

I currently have a clients email address (ex. [email protected]) through an old Registrar site (Network Solutions) and am currently working on an Adobe Muse site for this client. Once the site is completed I will then need to complete a Domain Name Server change and transfer the address (ex. www.clientsite.com) and upload this through Adobe Muse. With this change comes the need to change the email from the old server to be now hosted by Business Catalyst. Is there a certain way to go about this? Not creating necessarily a new email through Business Catalyst but transferring an email address from an old server/network to our existing Business Catalyst account.
Thanks!

Hi,
When setting up a domain name with Business Catalyst, you can either host e-mail with BC or Externally.
http://screencasteu.worldsecuresystems.com/AP/2013-11-28_1419.png
When you're hosting externally you'll just be redirecting traffic when it comes to mail, to wherever you have e-mail setup. So after adding your domain in BC admin, you'll be prompted to add the mx record. http://screencasteu.worldsecuresystems.com/AP/2013-11-28_1420.png
Network Solutions can provide the mx value. You will also probably setup a CNAME record so that mail.yourdomain can point to their login interface.
(I've tried to search for any listings of their mx values and only stumbled across this post http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/mx-record-with-network-solutions, maybe it's of any value)
You'll select Hosting e-mail with us implies creating e-mail accounts in our interface. So that means that it's best you back-up your e-mails before switching, as the actual e-mail account over at Network Solutions will be lost and re-created here.

HT2623 Is there no way to permanently delete an alias email address from one apple id so its available for another apple id?

I have 2 apple id's (unfortunately), and the one i wanna get rid of has an icloud email address as an alias that i would like to use on my new apple id as a regular email. Is there any way to do this? I deleted the alias from my old account but its somehow still linked.

I'm afraid you can't transfer an alias (even if deleted) to another account, or make it into an ID itself; and once deleted it can never be reactivated.

Can I transfer my email address from old iCloud account to new iCloud account?

Hi Guys,
Basically I left the Apple ecosystem a year or so ago, I have recently purchased myself an iPhone 6 and decided I wanted a fresh start so decided to create another account.
The only problem is I still use the old email and if possible I'd like to close it on my old account and have it transferred to my new one, is this possible? I'm not too fussed about losing calendars or contacts as I successfully transferred those over.
So yeah, basically can I have my other email address moved over to the new account?
Thanks

You cannot transfer your iTunes account to your iCloud account. However you can change its login to another non-Apple address. 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 (which cannot be an Apple address) and click 'Save changes'. Now open iTunes and sign out; sign back in with the new login address.

Removing a primary email address from the Apple ID

I've created my apple ID using a Gmail address but then decided to create an @me.com email. I now want the Gmail address removed alltogether from this account so that I only recieve billing info and such on my @me.com account. How to do it?
Trying to do this from the account settings fails as it tells me I cannot set an @me.com address as primary.

That's right. I'm afraid. Part of the reason is that you need to have a [email protected] address associated with the account for contact purposes - for example, if you forgot your password, you could reset it and have the reset one emailed to you, but it woulndn't do much good if it was sent to the @me.com address and you couldn't access it.
You can change the Gmail address to something else, but in any case the only time you will encounter it in normal use is as a login, and even that is automatic in most cases.

How do I remove a backup email address from my apple id account?

I'm attempting to sign up for an Apple ID with the aim of eventualy signing up for the developer program. Unfortuantly the site claimed that I have already signed up.
The reason for this is my gmail address is frequently mistakenly entered when other people with similar names sign up for stuff. Unfortunatly one of these people seems to have signed up for an Apple ID with my address and setup security questions without ever having verfied their email. I've reset the password, verified my email and logged in but there is some stuff I can't change.
I don't know their security questions and I can't remove their alternative email which leaves me open to them taking control of my apple ID in the future!
I really want to use my current email as I use it for everything but I can't change the security questions or alternative email!
Please help!!

Depending upon the address (some Apple addresses can't be removed) then you may be able to remove it by logging into the account via the 'manage your apple id' link on http://appleid.apple.com

How can I delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account?

I need to delete an email-address from an old Apple ID-account, but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
I already tried 'Find my Apple ID'.

but the Apple ID seems to be deleted (but not by myself), to use it as a validated mail-address for communicating via iMessage from my new Apple ID.
If that AüpleID has been disabled for security reasons, you may not be able to access it. Then you need to give Apple Support a call: only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
