What happens when I lose my email address?

I have bought apps for my iPad using my works email and Apple ID. Having retired  recently, my works email will soon be deactivated.  Does that mean I will be unable to update my apps?  I have tried to add my personal email to this account but unfortunately I have verified this in the past, but not used it. The apple ID linked to my personal email can't be deleted and I don't seem to be able to merge these accounts.  Is there a way around this problem?  Or, will I simply lose the ability to update the apps I have bought using my works email Apple ID?

The e-mail address used as an Apple id ,does not have to be an active email address ( all though it is clearly best )
You can continue to use that address and change your  contact details from the inactive e-mail .
this link directs you to all you need to know about Apople id's and there use
http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/
in particular the link to FAQs
and yes the Apps purchased are linked to the Apple  id used to purchase

  • HT4098 what happens if I change my email address associated with subscription

    I have a problem.  I had to update my email address and it is no longer the same address as my old email.  My old email had this subscription but now I have no way of canceling it now since I changed email addresses.  Can someone please help!?!?!

    You can't change your sync email address, you can delete it and add the new address.

    UDPATE:
    Spoke with Express lane, and issue was escalated.  Kudos to the support guys that handled this one (Brian and Yi).  Went through everything in detail and took all the crash dumps off the iphones and ipads to send to engineering.
    After backing up the contacts, the recommendation was to delete all contacts in  iCloud.  Doing that caused my iCloud to crash (in the browser), so more crash dumps were sent to apple.
    Eventually got all contacts deleted, then did a resync.  Looks like IOS devices are coming back to life and syncing again.
    Also, Outlook iCloud connector has just been updated to ver 1.0.1 so i installed that on their recommendation.
    BOTTOM LINE workaround:
    1. Backup contacts
    2. Delete contacts in iCloud
    3. Delete accounts on IOS devices
    4. Recreate accounts on IOS devices.
    Hoping a real root cause can be found and real fix implemented.  This has caused me to doubt the stability of iCloud, so i will procees with caution.

  • I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID?

    I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID? Will they still be able to contact me on facetime using my old Apple ID?

    Not if you change the ID.  You would need to give them the new address.

  • I am due to upgrade my iPhone 3 to iPhone 5. I have icloud which co-ordinates my phone and mac what happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my contacts, notes, addresses etc. Do I have to disconnect icloud and how? What happens?

    I am due to upgrade my iphone 3 to iphone 5.  I have icloud which is co-ordinating my iphone 3 and Mac Pro updating each other.  What happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my addresses, notes etc.  What is the procedure and step by step action?  The new phone arrives - then what?

    When I upgraded from the iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5, I simply did a Backup of my phone using iTunes, plugged in the new iPhone 5 into my Mac, and did a Restore of that backup to put everything back. This procedure is documented around the web. Also, the new phone will ask you for your Apple ID and when you enter it, all your iCloud info will be downloaded to the phone. It worked pretty well for me.

  • When someone texts my email address it no longers shows up as an email, only a imessage, how do I stop that from happening?

    when someone texts my email address it no longers shows up as an email in my inbox, only as a imessage, how do I stop that from happening?  I do not use imessage at all.

    This is not something on your end.  If they send an iMessage it will arrive as an iMessage, if the send an email it will arrive as an email.
    THey are sepearate services that cannot be mixed up.
    Tell them to send you an email, rather than an iMessage.
    If they are using the messages App it will always arrive as a Message.

  • When I type my email address in the "To:" field, a random name comes up next to it as "Holidays in United States". This just started happening out of the blue and I have no idea why. Does anyone else have any idea?

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

  • What happens when someone forwards photostream invite via email

    What happens when someone forwards photostream invite via Email.
    I would ultimately like to send directly to parents of my kid's sport team - however the manager says the distro changes alot and it would be best if I send her the invite and she forwards off. 
    I'm sure there are a mix of IOS and Android users but I'd like the IOS users to benefit from having it in their iPhoto programs, and the others can opt to go to the URL provided in the invite.  Are there any issues with the manager forwarding the Photostream invite?  Any experiences to share when sharing photos taken at a game?
    Thank you in advance.

    You will need to create a Public Photo Stream since many of the parents will be on PCs. Here's how:
    With that scenario the email will look like this:
    The link at the bottom will take the user to the website.  Or you could go to the website yourself, copy its URL and incliude that in an email to the manager for forwarding on.

  • What happens to my current Yahoo email users when I modify the domain ns?

    What happens to my current Yahoo email users when I modify the domain ns?

    Changing the name servers for a domain would require you to re-create the MX records at the new DNS provider's end to point to your existing email service provider. You might experience downtime during the transition/propagation period.
    Thanks,

    What is the procedure for disabling Entourage launching when clicking on an email address in Safari 5.0.5? I use Gmail.

    Is this about clicking a link in an external program?
    You can check this pref on the about:config page for external links.
    * browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external (-1)
    If this pref has the default value -1 then browser.link.open_newwindow is used.

  • HT201559 what happens when i reset? do I lose any data?

    what happens when i reset? do I lose any data? or is there any chance of losing data?

    If you mean the "Press the Home and Power buttons at the same time" type of reset, then no, you do not lose anything. It's basically the same process that a computer goes through when you restart it.
    You do, however, want to make sure that you always have a current backup on iCloud or iTunes.

  • HT5085 What happen if I lose the music files from my desktop but I have the music in my devices (ipad & ipod)?

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • What happened when multiple audio players start at the same time?

    Hi,everyone!
    I am developing a game, using JMF to play sound.
    These sound are stored in mp3 files.
    In order to decode mp3 files, I installed JMF and mp3-plugin( jmf-2_1_1e-windows-i586.exe , javamp3-1_0.exe).
    In the Game, a background music play back repeatly.When EndOfMediaEvent happened, I setMediaTime(new Time(0)) and then start().It works well.
    There are several sound-effects,may start at any time,
    so 2 or more sounds may play back at the same time,
    and then Strange things happened.
    Those sound-effects, usually short, can not play back inextenso.
    They lose some beginning part, the length of the part is not constant.
    i.e. Audio should start at MediaTime 0, but now they start at MediaTime x, x >= 0,
    not only that, sometimes, Audio process bar runs, but no sound heared.
    I do not know what is happening.
    So please help me, thanks a lot.
    The way that I use Players:
    initialize:
    create realized players from mp3 files
    prefetch them
    finalize:
    deallocate not null players
    then close them
    using:
    player.setMediaTime(new Time(0))
    then player.start()
    My Environment:
    Windows XP, java 1.4.10, JMF2.1.1, MP3-plugin1.0

    This is very strange, difficult to guess the cause... never had such an issue. Normally when the object to which the audio is attached disappears the audio stops. So in your case going to a next slide should stop the audio of the previous slide. Same with object audio.
    Do you have the different audio clips (one per slide) in the Library? Could you try to delete the audio on the slide and drag it again from the Library to see if you have the same result? And what happens when you attach the audio clip to an object on the slide (you can create a totally transparent rectangle with no stroke that will not be visible to attach the audio).

    Hi Ketan Tank,
    Agree with Anthony, you can get the updates (KB2889923 & KB2889853) through Windows Update.
    The Skype for Business Client will already be activated as it is an update to an existing licensed product.
    Best regards,
    Eric
