How-to: Change the email address associated with your Apple ID

Some individuals need to change the e-mail address related to the Apple ID, as a result of they either set it up with an embarrassing email that they created once they were a baby, now not have access to the e-mail address as a result of it absolutely was hacked, or it absolutely was created with a .edu email address or business email address that's now not accessible.

To change the email address you can go to the My Apple ID page:

Once there, you'll press the “Manage your Apple ID” button in blue and sign in to your account.
If you've got an Apple email address at @mac.com, @me.com, or @iCloud.com, you can't change the e-mail address used with the Apple ID. However, you'll be able to add a further email address to that account to receive emails from Apple.
For the other email addresses you'll be able to change the e-mail address used with the Apple ID.

If your Apple ID is already verified, next to wherever your Apple ID is listed, there's a a blue edit button (on the right side).When you click that, you may then be ready to change the e-mail address related to the Apple ID.
Once you have got the new email address written in, you may press the Save Changes button in blue (on the lower right side). once it saves the changes, your new email address are going to be shown as your Apple ID.
Then, on all of your devices, you're ready to sign out of the iTunes and App Store, and sign out of iCloud.  Then you will re-sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, and iCloud services with the new email address and same password.

If your Apple ID is not verified, you have two different options. If you typed in the correct email address you want to use for your Apple ID, press the Send Verification Email button in blue. Apple will send you an email with a link to verify the email address:

When you receive that email from Apple, press the Verify Now link in blue. Then you will be prompted to enter in the Apple ID and password for verification.

If your Apple ID is not verified, and you want to change the email address, there is an Edit button in blue on the right hand side. When you click that, you will then be able to change the email address associated with the Apple ID. You will then have to verify the new email address you will be using with the Apple ID.

That’s it! You now have a new email address associated with your Apple ID.
