Which email addr for my apple id?

I'm confused which of my email addrs Apple uses for my ID. I have an old email addr which Apple has retained for its Store, but I have a new email addr which Apple has accepted for my iCloud account. I want to consolidate the two accounts so I have only the new email addr for both. I've tried to use the Change Password process & have asked for Apple to send its present acct info for me, but after half an hour or more, no email from Apple to help me. Any advice?

Apple does not merge Apple ID accounts. Not for anyone. Ever.
What you should have done was keep the old Apple ID and just changed the primary email address associated with that ID and then continued to use it for iTunes and also use it for iCloud. But unfortunately, if you have used the new email address for your new Apple ID, then it is too late to do that and there isn't much anyone can really do now to assist you with this.

  • How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id?

    Hi there
    How do I create a new icloud email address for my apple id? My original email address is associated with my previous employers.
    When I send email from my Macbook, it seems as if I still work there, which is a problem.
    I would like to use the email address that I created for my iPad.
    When I login with my appleid (for my macbook) I keep getting the old company one, not the new one.
    Is there any way of resolving this? I
    Thanks

  • Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.

    Someone is using my personal email address for their apple ID and I'm sick of it! I can't sign up for my own itunes account or anything using MY OWN email address. My email address is my property, not theirs.
    I'm using their account and will continue to reset their password and settings until they either get the message or Apple do something about it and disable or migrate their account so that I can use MY OWN email address for my own purposes.
    I don't want to be informed about Apple products and services for someone else on my email account.
    I want to be able to use it MYSELF for iTunes
    All I am asking you to do is migrate their apple ID to their alternate email account settings and free up my email address so that:
    A. I can use it and B. I stop getting messages about their account history.
    Either that or just cancel their account as they have no right to use my personal details.
    Yes I could set up a new email address but WHY THE **** should I? I've been using this email account for years for personal stuff, it's not mu fault if someone can sign it up as an AppleID without me being able to confirm their sign up process!
    Your move Apple, make it count.

    Hi Sister Kate,
    If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -

  • After I updated to iOS 7, my iCloud account is showing the incorrect email address for my Apple ID but will not allow me to change it- it's gray and I can't click on it. How do I fix this?

    If you change your email, you do not need to "change" your AppleID. Just edit your email(s) on your Apple ID by logging in to your AppleID account. You should always use the same AppleID for  Apple Services (iCloud, iTunes etc) and multiple ID will cause problems and confusion in the future.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc.

  • I changed my email address for my Apple ID but my phone doesn't recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email

    I changed my email address for my Apple ID. When I want to use iCloud my iPhone doesn't seem to recognize my new email it keeps asking for my password for my old email. I can't update the new address it keeps defaulting to my old one.

    Hello TirEoghain,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    First I would like you to try the instructions below to sign out of your iCloud account, and then sign in with your new Apple ID.
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
    Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

  • HT204053 Can I use an icloud email address as the primary email address for an Apple ID?

    Hi There
    Can I use an icloud email address as the primary email address for an Apple ID?

    Whenever you create a new icloud email it is an Apple ID, but if you previously had an Apple ID you cannot use the new email to replace the old one. You have to abandon the old accout and you will lose all the content you had with that account. But what I did was upload all my itunes to amazon cloud, these were the only purchases I had. I already bought books from kindle and I now rent movies from amazon instant video. Everytime I log in I use my icloud email and password. I just used it to sign in to support communities.
    The notification that you posted about changing your Apple ID was present when I created my icloud email and made the change.

    I changed the email address for my apple id online using "Manage Your Account." I changed it as well on my iPhone. How do I change the apple id on my mac? I've gone into system preferences - I cloud but can't see how to change my apple id.

    You will have to sign out of iCloud, then sign in with the new Apple ID. Same with iTunes and the App Store.
