TS3274 I had to change my email address and I cannot change it on my ipad

I had to change my email address and close my old one.  I changed my iPad acct info., but when I try to download an application my old email address appears as my apple ID and It won't accept my new password.  How can I change the old email address permanently?

Did you go to Settings>Store and sign out and then sign back in?

    This explains how to change your ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621.  After changing your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, delete the existing account (which only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud), then sign back in with the new ID.  To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the existing account.

  • I changed my email address and now cannot get into my icloud account to change that because I don't know the password

    I changed my email address and my password on my ipad but when I tried to change the address on my icloud account it keeps asking me for my old password which I no longer know. I can't delete the account because I can't access it without the old password

    Hey rid23466,

    If you forgot the password to your Apple ID, you can follow this article to recover it.

  • I changed my email address and now cannot play items purchased with previous email. This only became a problem after I got a new computer. The original email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

    I changed my email address a few years ago. I did not have any problems after this change until I got a new computer. Now I cannot play items that were purchased under the previous email. I entered the password that I used and it doesn't recognize it. I tried "forgot your password" in every combination possible. I never received any emails at the old email address. Now the old email address no longer even exists. How can I access these hundreds of items?

    The old email address may well still be valid as your iTunes AppleID, however if you have no other email associated with that ID you clearly won't get any automated emails to it.
    I still use an old defunct email for my iTunes AppleID.
    Contact support here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ww/
    You may want to try to manage the old ID here:
    https://appleid.apple.com/
    Use the original email address and password.

  • Someone in Australia was using my email address and when I changed email names to reinstall Itunes it only gives me states from Australia.  Is there some cache on my system that should be cleared or removed?

    Someone in Australia was using my email address and when I changed email names to reinstall Itunes it only gives me states from Australia.  Is there some cache on my system that should be cleared or removed?

    Good luck.    I have been trying to report to Apple Support about a Bogus Email I received today, which said I had made a purchase. Naturally, I was to cancel this bogus purchase by giving out personal details etc to them. 
    The real question is: how did they get my email as someone who had purchased from Itunes?. I cannot believe that ti si coincidence.
    HAVE the Australian Apple IDs [where users have supplied their email addresses] been compromised?
      My report about Spam was the same as reported in 2010, when the reply was: Apple knows all about this.  What has been done about that spam from this address:

  • Changed my email address and cannot do apps updates because the changed email doesn't show on the IPad

    I changed my email address and, therefore, had to apply the change to my Apple ID.  However, when I try to do apps updates on my IPad, the verification window that pops up still shows my old email address and doesn't accept any of the passwords I try to enter...

    Apps are always tied to the Apple ID that you used to buy them with. You will have to use the old ID in order to update those apps. Just use the old ID and enter the password for that ID when you want to update those apps.

  • I changed my email address and my user id will not update for icloud!

    Yes, I went into the Appleid and updated the email address there.  The problem?? Icloud on my Iphone 4! It does not allow you to change the User ID in settings! I've tried going to store and sign out and sign back in. Did not work! Has anyone else had this issue??

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

  • I changed my email address and now some songs won't authorize

    I had to change my email address and now the songs purchased and authorized with my old email wont load or play? It's happened to 36 songs I purchased with Itunes and I don't want to spend $36 to get them back. How can I authorize the old songs when Itunes no longer recognizes my old address?

    I guess I should clarify, what actually is happening is that when I attempt to play or burn a song downloaded when I had the old aol.com account, it says "you are not authorized to play X song. You must authorize your computer to play all songs purchased by 'karitag' (which was my old apple id through aol). Would you like to authorize now?" When I try to authorize it tells me that the apple id "karitag" does not exist. Well, it doesn't, because when that email account expired I converted to a regular iTunes account using my email address. Keep in mind this has only been an issue since I downloaded iTunes 7. It's just so frustrating to have half of my iTunes library (over 800 songs!) inaccessible.

  • I recently changed my email address and switched it to my primary address on my Apple ID account.  It works in iTunes, but when I open up iCloud, my old ID shows and I can't access it to change anything.  Can't ask for email change for password

    I recently changed my email address and updated my Apple ID name to the new address.  It worked for iTunes and apps, but when I bring up iCloud, my old ID name shows.  I can'tr access it to change it since my security questions don't work and when I request an email to change password, it says it sent one but I do not receive anything.  Just need to klnow how to change my Applle ID on iCloud if I can't access the old one.  I'm afraid if I delete the account and open a new one, I'll lose all of my calendar. 

    If you have 'Find My iPad' activated on the iPad it will cause this problem. You will have to contact Support for help. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'More Products and Services', then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

  • 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.

  • I have changed my email address and changed my Apple ID. However iCloud on my ipad and an ipad mini still shows my old email address. How can I change my iCloud email address?

    I have changed my email address and changed my Apple ID. However iCloud on my ipad and an ipad mini still shows my old email address. How can I change my iCloud email address?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    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 > iTunes & App 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.

  • I changed my email address and now i can no longer download apps.  Also, how do you upgrade to a new version?

    I changed my email address and updated it to my married name. As a result, when I try to download an app, it keeps telling me that I have the wrong password, despite resetting my password.
    I have not "upgraded" to the new OS for quite a while... When I try to download an app, it states that I need "OS 3.2".. or some later version...
    How do you update to a new version.  It keeps telling me to go to itunes.com and click on update.  I'm not seeing this at all.

    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.
