Your email address has changed or is invalid -iTunes won't let me change it

Help. I've tried everything including logging a request with Apple iTunes support - through the usual means, filling out the online request form. Still to no avail.
The story goes like this, I changed my ISP about three weeks ago. I'm pretty sure my registered email address was the one from my old ISP. Oops!
So I go to buy an App or Music from iTunes, it tells me that my account has changed and I should view and change my details.
I go ahead and enter my valid email address. Press Done. No verification email arrives in my account. Nothing in the junk mail either.
No matter what I do, no matter which of my valid email addresses I enter - I have two. I can't get iTunes to accept my email change.
I have logged two requests for assistance now - with great replies of Apple Support Staff telling me how important I am and how my issue will be fixed ASAP. But, nothing yet. It's been almost a week. Getting quite disappointed with Apple iTunes support.

I am having this problem too. I recently changed ISP b/c I wanted the iPhone, so I had to update my iTunes username to my Gmail account.
In fact, I logged in HERE using it as my new Apple Id... so it works!
But for some **** reason that is driving me nuts my iPhone will not connect to the iTunes store using my new Apple Id. It keeps saying my email has changed or is invalid and asks me to sign in to change it. So I do that, and it lets me in USING MY NEW Apple ID!!!! Then I go back out to the buy the App and the madness starts all over.
Come on Apple, do you want me to buy your apps, or what?

  • How can I change email address on my ICloud account?  It won't let me change old e-mail address.

    How can I change email address on Icloud?  It won't let me delete old email address so I can enter new email address.

    Are you trying to change the email address which forms the login? Or the @icloud.com address you created when you opened the account? You can't change the latter.
    You can change the login address as long as it isn't an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address.
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    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 and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • Atv error message "Your email address has changed or is invalid...."

    this error message first appeared when i originally bought my atv in the spring. After tech support and swapping the my first atv, I eventually setup a second itunes account with a new email address and the issue went away. However occasionally it persists. the full message is "Your email address has changed or is invalid. Go to the itunes store on your computer and update your account info." Surprisingly I am able to log in to itunes on my computer with the same email address and login on my apple tv, but when i attempt to purchase or rent the error message appears and prevents my from buying. Sometimes like tonight i give up and just don't purchase anything. Anyone know how to fix this?

    We had this same problem, and we found a fix that seems to have worked. It's a silly bug having to do with a change in the way your state of residence is stored in your account. The problem and fix is described here:

    Hope this helps.

  • I am trying to change my country but iTunes won't let me

    iTunes won't let me buy from my original country as the credit card is invalid in that country.  When I try to change the country it keeps reverting back to the original country.  How do I change the country without opening a new iTunes account?

    To buy items from an iTunes Store in another country you must have a valid credit card drawn on a local bank, and an address in the host country.

  • ITunes Won't Let Me Change Location Of Itunes Music Folder

    iTunes isn't letting me change the location of the folder iTunes folder. I don't want the iTunes folder to be in the default 'My Music' folder, I'd rather keep it in 'My Documents'. Problem is, everytime I change the location (I change it through edit>preferences>advanced btw) it just makes a new one under 'My Music' as soon as I restart iTunes.
    I've tried making a copy of the original iTunes folder thats located in 'My Music', copying it to 'My Documents', changing the location under the iTunes preferences, and then deleting the 'My Music' version but after a restart I simply get it back. What gives?
    Btw, I have both 'Keep songs organized' and 'Copy Songs' turned off.

    It will be easier to resolve your problem if you can settle for moving the iTunes Music folder - the sub-folder that actually contains all your iTunes media files - and leave the iTunes folder alone, since iTunes will, as you have discovered, continue to recreate a new iTunes folder when one isn't present.
    That being said, can you confirm that you're following the instructions in this article in the Apple Knowledge Base. (The same method appplies whether you're moving the iTunes Music folder to a different drive or a different location on the same drive.)
    After moving it, iTunes will not recreate the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder.

  • I changed my email for my Apple ID, and my iCloud won't let me change it, it only lets me delete my account. But I don't want everything on my phone that is linked to it to be deleted too. How do I change the email in the iCloud settings

    I changed my email for my Apple ID, but on my iCloud it's still registered under my old email, but I can't change it. The only option it has for me to do is to delete that account from my phone but I don't want to lose anything I have on my phone that is linked to my iCloud account

    If you go to your iTunes account on the computer, where you changed your email account info, you find a link to other changes for your account info.  You may have done all that already, if so next you have to change the info on the device.
    To change the device info:
    Step 1.  Connect to iTunes on the computer and on the "Info" page, check the sync info box.  You should notice a change in your email info on the screen .  Sync device to the computer.
    Step 2.  note at the bottom of this "Info" screen a note that says to change you iPad info:  Go to Settings on the iPad, then Mail, Contacts, Calendars.   Change your email account information here.

  • Yosemite seems to have reverted my iCloud address back to an old one and won't let me change it. I currently have no access to iCloud

    I installed Yosemite. This apparently has changed my iCloud address back to an old one which is no longer in use or a valid email address. It will not allow me access to change it. It even tells me my date of birth is wrong.
    How do I get out of this fix?

    Have you tried to sign out of iCloud and sign in with the new ID? If so, what happened?

  • Changed Apple ID successfully but won't let me change on iCloud

    Hi all
    I'm so confused, can someone help please? I successfully changed my Apple ID on my Mac and this is confirmed and is now verified. I've followed the instructions on how to change details on my phone and ipad and have done what it said (followed instructions in this linkHow do I change my apple ID e mail address on my phone), but when I go to iCloud in 'Settings' and click on 'delete account' it asks for my password associated with the previous email address. I have put this in but it is not recognised and just keeps asking me to put it in again.
    It's the same with my iPad. I have a lot of photo's and stuff stored in iCloud and I can't access this on any of the devices. Help!
    Thanks

    Try these instructions : iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud

  • My iTunes won't let me change my album art

    I have uploaded some home made songs into itunes and it doesn't let me change the album art. I can click it and tick the box and press ok but nothing happens. someone please help me, I am very annoyed by this.

    Can't help you there. My iTunes is actually deleting artwork and shoving genre, album name, artist, and song title all into the same space. And the iPod keeps it that way for all eternity.

  • ITunes won't let me change song information and hangs up...

    Using an 2010 iMac and iTunes 11.x I tried to change some song information as I did it for several years and iTunes versions.
    Now it seems to be an installation error and the program hangs up if I try to open the information pop up.
    The music plays on but nothing else can be done as to quit iTunes (hard quit).
    A reinstallation doesn't had any impact, but I was not able to deinstall iTunes first (error message: ...this program is part of OS X and cannot be deleted...)
    I also checked the hard disk and the right management, everything seems to be fine.
    Has anybody an idea how to get iTunes de- and reinstalled completely?
    I did not find an guide for that.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hey there skipperchong,
    The other file that it could be is the iTunes library file.. The problem is. This containes all of your playlists, file locations, library info and various other things.
    So we cant simply remove it and let the OS write a new fresh one like the other file.
    What you would have to do is remove your entire library of itunes, delete the library file and reimport your music again, which will, in turn delete your playlists.
    Are you on a Windows computer or a Mac?

  • ITunes won't let me change sorting information

    Hello,
    So, I like to keep all of the sorting information on the songs empty in my iTunes library. However, some of them won't change or go away no matter what I try. I've tried simply erasing the tag, converting to a new file, and converting the ID3 tags to "none". The sorting name always keeps comes back.
    Is there a method that I'm just too dumb to have found out yet or is this some bug that I'll just have to try and look over?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    In column view, most of the edited tracks will stay gray, and arbitrarily revert to black. In the info panel the sort fields will nearly immediately fill again - and onlyfields with corresponding name, artist fields will be filled. I did not specify an album artist, so the sort album artist stays empty.
