Set up ID with wrong email...

Dear apple,
In the process of setting up an iphone with new details, I set up my wife's apple ID with the wrong email (ending .co.uk when it should have been .com), I then went and veryfied my own email address which is now linked to that account. On realising my mistake I found that my wife actually has an account set up from using itunes, so I reset the password and am trying to add my email address as the alternative address but can't because it is attached to an apple ID I cannot verify because the primary email address doesn't exist. Can anyone help me understand how I remove my email from this account so I can add it the right one.
Posting from the correct account now.

Try logging into the account on http://appleid.apple.com and seeif you can change it to have the correct email address, or you can try doing it on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option.

  • I shared an ipod 5th generation with my ex partner and she set it up with her email and password. how can i change it for my password and email address so that i can wipe it and start again?

    i shared an ipod 5th gen with my ex partner and she set it up with her email and password. i have the ipod now but no password and would like to put it on my email and password so that i can wipe it clean and start again, any ideas?

    The iPod isn't tied to an Apple ID, but is likely tied to an iTunes library. If you want to set it up as a new iPod (as if you were just pulling it out of the box), restore it to factory settings in iTunes.

  • HT5622 When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone.  I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content  from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

    When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone.  I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

    Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything.  Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too.  When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account.  Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
    To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
    For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
    For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
    For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key.  Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash.  When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
    If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

  • My iCloud account was set up using the wrong email, and I can't delete the wronge account

    I had a friend help me set up my phone and she set up my iCloud account for me. But she got my email wrong. Instead of [email protected], it's [email protected] I don't have the password, and I can't delete the iCloud account without the password, but I can't get the password because it sends it to the wrong email. Is there a way to delete the iCloud account without the password?

    Your appleid can be any email address you want, its the e-mail BEHIND it that matters. So if you dont have your verizon email address anymore that should still be ok. Goto http://appleid.apple.com/ and click on manage account, login to your OLD WORKING appleid, and change your email to match your new email address

  • 9630 Tour synced with wrong email.

    While traveling out of the country, I put my travel companion's yahoo email account into my Tour so he could receive his emails. When I returned home (US) I synced/backed-upped  my phone not thinking about his yahoo account. I have synced removed his email before I realized that my phone is now synced with his email address. When I go to my address book, all of my contacts say "Sync with (his email) I setup and deleted his account through the email setup program, but now even my access to my email setup will not take my password. Anyone ever have this happen?

    Try to uninstall both email addresses and go through  the setup of the email address that you would like to have sync with your Blackberry. Hope that helps!

  • Combine Apple ID's, recover pwd with wrong email and security info?

    I created a new Apple ID. I entered wrong email and birthday on original and can't recover password. iPad and iPhone App Store will not recognize new ID but iTunes does. Can I combine Apple ID accounts and past purchases?

    No. Unfortunately you cant consolodate apple IDs... I would advise you to just create a new one since you entered a wrong email address for the actual apple ID.
    Or go to appleid.apple.com and manage your account. Maybe you can try recovering your password there... however if you were not able to enter a rescue email beforehand then that would be impossible considering the email you entered was incorrect!!

  • I typed the wrong email address while setting up iCloud on my iPad. I cannot change this. I have deleted the account but when I try to open a new account it comes back up with wrong email address. Both of my iPhones come up with the same wrong email addr.

    I have gone to iCloud on Internet, apple, and Mobil me & can not find out hot to start over.

    It happened to me too, and I don't know what to do. Have you fixed it yet?

  • Can't set up mail with yahoo email address..

    I apologize if this has already been asked, but in setting up Mail, i keep getting an error while trying to set up my yahoo account. Will the mail program work with web based email? if this has been asked before, please direct me.
    Thanks!

    Hi Ryan
    Mail will not work with Yahoo's free email service, but will work if you have the paid Yahoo service. This is because the free service does not allow mail access by POP mail clients.

  • Setting up imessage with different email account

    I am trying to set up my daughter's ipod touch to receive imessages via her email address.  This is different address than our apple ID.  I keep getting an error message when it tries to verify the email address.  Anyone having this issue?

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.    
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • Setting up mail with yahoo email

    I am having trouble connecting to Yahoo Mail through my Mail account. My Mail does not work. I'm not sure if I am entering the wrong set-up info, but i have tried it under IMAP and POP. I believe it is IMAP. ?????

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    You need to pay for the Yahoo Mail Plus for this to work. (Yahoo used to do this for free but they make their money from the adverts you look at when checking your web-based email now).
    Then follow these instructions (link).

  • Purchased with wrong email address

    Hi Folks, wondering if anyone has had this problem. I recently purchased the download of Premier Elements 11. However, I entered an incorrect email address and consequently have no confirmation of purchase or activation key. Having paid through paypal I contacted them after adobe advised that that is what I do. Howver Paypal hav told me that they only can resolve desputes where an item is tangable, not downloaded software. Paypal have referred me back to Adobe, yet I can never get in touch with anyone over the phone. My last hold time was over an hour before I gave up. I've paid for a product that I cannot use. Any suggestions?

    Movieman,
    I'd go to the Adobe Store UK, Web site, as they should also offer a Live Chat - at least the Adobe Store US does. I have used that for about four questions in the last few years, and it has worked fine. Though in some contacts, I did not get the answer that I wanted, I still got quick responses. Not sure if they can help you, but rather than hold, I would give it a go.
    Good luck, and if they ARE able to help you, please update us,
    Hunt

  • Seem to have 2 accounts and want to get rid of one with wrong email and payment methods

    I have 2 accounts and wish to close one as email details and payment method are changed.

    Only iTunes Support can potentially delete an account, which will also remove any content that was downloaded on the account :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    If you don't want to use the account anymore then you can log into it and remove any personal info from e.g. payment details. If you have any downloads on the account that you want to retain access to then remember the id and its password, you will need them if you want to redownload them, authorise them on a new computer, and download updates to its apps.

  • Delete contact with wrong email address

    I added a contact to the address but misspelled the address. I left out one letter. I change to the correct address in address book but the misspelled address still comes up as the preferred when I compose mail. How do I get rid of the bogus address?

    Just thought I'd let you know your answer helped me solve MY problem; I wanted to delete obsolete e-mail addresses that were popping up as suggestions when composing new messages. Mail's Help offered no answer so I searched the forum and found your response.
    Thanks for posting! Sometimes you can help more than one person!

  • I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. How can I fix it?

    I installed Mountain Lion so that I could sync my notes with my iPhone that already syncs notes with a specific email address I use for school, but during the install it automatically set up Notes to sync w the wrong email addy. It looked in Mail, which had 5 email accounts set up in it, and for some reason picked the only one that I no longer use because it is for a school that I no longer attend. How can I fix it so that it syncs with the correct email account for notes and calendar? There don't seem to be any settings available other than to check if you want to use the basic features. It also said during the set up that it was setting up 'find my mac' but if I look on the iCloud website there is nothing showing there for finding my mac.
    At this point I feel like I wasted my money paying for this supposed upgrade. I got nothing for it but frustration. It even automatically set my security settings to allow only downloads from the Mac store so the first time I went to download something I had to stop what I was doing and go correct settings first. I feel like there should be a security setting to block downloads from the Mac store so I don't accidentally end up clicking the wrong thing and being charged.

    iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone.  You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone.  You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account.  iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
    iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac.  When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account.  You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar.  If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.
