How to CHANGE your APPLE ID to any NEW EMAIL Address!

UPDATE When you log into appleid.apple.com on a computer, there is no longer a category called "Apple ID". So to change your Apple ID email, you need to click on the category that says "Email & Phone Numbers" and then click the circle with the minus sign next to the email address you want to change!*
This video walks through the process of changing the email address of your Apple ID.
Unfortunately you are not able to merge two Apple ID's together, so this is the next best thing.
More often than not, you may have an old email address from an old email provider like Comcast or something else that is your Apple ID. The problem is that if you were to move or stop using their service, you could have difficultly with your Apple ID account if you were using that email.
In the video I cover examples of changing different Apple ID emails to different email accounts such as iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo and Microsoft Outlook.

I signed up to my apple id without thinking I could just make an "Icloud email" so its a bit more secure in the long-run, this has put things into perspective, overall I just don't want products and companies to tie back to my interests, having to compartmentalize and this really explained it well.

I have a 2 year old iPad , and bought a new iPhone. Unfortunately they use the same iCloud . Using up the pathetic 5 Gig that Apple give to you for free , I didn’t know that both would use the mere 5 Gig they give you . Is there away to separate the iPad and iPhone so they have 5 Gig iCloud ?

[@chickadddee]

This is great. Joel, do you recommend logging out of every service connected to our Apple i.d on all our devices before doing this? It sounds like that is no longer necessary? From what you're saying, we'll get the prompts to sign in with new i.d. anyway. ( A back up would be a good idea though?) When researching this I have seen many times a warning that we might lose *documents* in the iCloud, and subscriptions.... but it sounds like (hopefully) this is old info. I also saw a ton of articles that stated Apple does not accept alias emails as an Apple i.d. !! Hard to know when things change quickly!!

[@Kegare_]

Very informative video; I just have one question to ask: If I change my sign in ID (email used to sign in) from a gmail account to an outlook account, will I still be able to update my apps without issue? I’ve seen talk online that people have had issues doing this as some of their apps were downloaded before they changed the email that they used to sign-in to their Apple account. Upon trying to update, it displays the email that they previously used to sign-in and they’re unable to update these apps and are only left with the option to delete & reinstall them. Any feedback is appreciated and you’re doing a fantastic job of getting back to people here. Keep up the good work! 👍👍

Dear Joel! First of all, thank you!!! You explained it the very best way. You are amazing!. I do have a question though…. My apple id now is my old outlook that I don’t have access to anymore (I’ve tried everything but i’m permanently locked out) If I change my Apple Id now to a gmail that I use, will it have repercussions? Like, as in, i’m very scared to do it what if it asks me to verify on my outlook that I cannot get in to and I lose my data? Sorry, i’m always a bit anxious. I hope you can help!

I don't know why Apple does the whole timing restriction. And it seems there is a slight difference between a primary and secondary iCloud alias email address.

Change your Apple ID country or region support.apple.com/en-us/HT201389 Seems pretty straightforward, but for sure you would want to not have a balance on your card and you would want to cancel all subscriptions related to the Apple ID that you'd be chaining to another country.

Hallo Joel One more technical critical question for you. What happens to the original email address that was used as Appel ID. After the Apple ID it was changed to a new email address, will it remain as an active email, or will it be cancelled? Sorry to bother you again. Thx

Thanks. You explained it really well. I’d love to hear more about Family Sharing. Like many, we started out with one iTouch and now have 3 iPads, 2 iPhones, 2 iwatches and one MacBook between us. But I can figure out how to split it into 2 accounts so we can text each other’s phones. It’s all under the same Apple ID.

[@Learnwithjoel]

I agree @stephaniesinden145! This exact scenario happens quite often. I do have some videos planned for Family Sharing in the near future. Long story short though, there is no way to divide Apple ID's or Merge them. In your Situation, the best thing to do would be to create new Apple ID's for any family member, and then export information from the main Apple ID and import into the new Apple IDs. If you have kids that don't have an Apple ID, you can actually create child Apple IDs. You get prompted with this when you start the process of Family Sharing. There's so much on this topic!

Thanks for this. I have an Apple ID associated with an ISP that I should really change so will follow your steps. But I’m also one of those in the scenarios where I’m straddling two accounts on my devices due to having one for years with purchases, connections to services etc tied to one account (the ISP one) before getting a Mobile Me Account than then lead to having a iCloud address and seperate Apple ID. Both now have a right mix on them and there’s no way for me to easily unpick and move to just 1 account. Really wish I could merge the accounts! Come on Apple!

[@Learnwithjoel]

Hi @alanmcloughlin909! The more I think about it, I actually don't mind having two Apple IDs. One for iCloud and one for Media/Purchases. It's a good way to separate them. Would it be nice to have them combined, sure, but I personally don't think that will happen soon. Only hope for Apple to get on board with it! THANK YOU so much for watching!

@@Learnwithjoel thanks Joel. I think it’s more for simplicity. When setting up a new device I always have to then manually sort out my music, Podcast, App Store etc to be under the correct login that I’m using. There is also the fact that I may one day lose access to one of the emails as I have it from being a teenager with an ISP that is a paid for service via my dad, the email is imbedded on my life but I need to make efforts to migrate away from it as I don’t have control of it always being with me which could lead to me one day being locked out of my account unless I use your tips here to change that email to a 3rd email. Hence my preference for a merge rather than going down the route of yet and other email address. Services like Google forced me to already have an additional email and with having to maintain different password across accounts and also using monitoring software to alert me to websites being targeted where I may want to update my passwords then having the fewer the better would be my goal.

[@dannymcneal]

So stinkin’ confusing! This right here is why I’m still using an old MobileMe/iCloud email login-an email that WAS associated with an old photography business I used to run. My two HomePod Minis kept getting confused, and would never play correctly-always said they were playing, but no sound came out. So I threw them away in frustration. However, my two HomePod OGs play just fine. This is such a confusing system, and I’m afraid that if I change something, I’ll lose a couple hundred movies on my Apple TV, as well as purchased songs. Cripes!

[@davegb99]

I foundthis useful but the issue that I have is that whilst I still have access to my .net account for now, but want to change it to a gmail account that I use but the apple account says that the ‘new’ gmail is my recovery address so cannot use it but I can’t see where the recovery address is recorded to change that.

[@Kieubasa]

That's a good video! But are there a difference if I use an iCloud address or an hotmail address? Is it worth to change from hotmail to an iCloud mail on my Apple id? Or is it just meaningless?

[@Learnwithjoel]

Great question @Kieubasa! The the grande scheme of things, an Apple ID is just a username. Any email address can be used. However an Apple ID does allow you to use some iCloud tools, so it really depends on what you use. There are many email providers to choose from: iCloud, Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. Every company offers similar tools such as email, contacts, calendars, notes, etc, but not all are created equal. Every interface is different and the intuitiveness of each can be different depending on personal preference. I do have a couple other videos that talk about iCloud vs Apple IDs as well as iCloud in general that may be helpful to see the concept and how it differs from hotmail. iCloud - What the Purpose is & How is it supposed to work! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qonUXqODi5ljm68 Apple ID accounts vs iCloud accounts - Understanding the difference kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIvSnnx5draMia8 I hope that makes sense.

Thank a lot for your videos! One detail question if I want to use an ICloud email in my AppleID. Did I understood you correctly, that it is the ALIAS mail that I should enter into to AppleID after 30 days, and not the primary ICloud mail?

[@rolandgoransson5964]

Two strange aspects. 1. First I created the iCloud mail alias, and after one day also added it into the list of mobile and mails on the Apple ID web page. Now suddenly the section where the AppleID can be maintained in the section up to the right is gone!! Shall I delete this mail alias again from the list, hoping it solves this problem? 2. If I open the list of mobile/mails on the same page, there is a remark (question mark) out to the right on the primary ICloud mail, that this is an alias för the mail linked to an Apple-ID!!!
 What is this, what does it mean because this is the primary ICloud address.

[@Learnwithjoel]

Hi @rolandgoransson5964! So strange coincidence 1: Apple literally just updated the website and doesn’t show that box for the standalone Apple ID option! They moved it to the “Email & Phone numbers” section. When you select that, you will see a little circle with a minus sign next the email. Click that and it will give you the option to change the Apple ID email address. Strange thing 2: That is normal. If you created an iCloud email alias, it will show up there and has the little question mark to the right and when you hover over it, it says "This is an alias of your Apple ID email address". All it means is that it was the first iCloud alias created. I saw your other comment, so I'll respond to that there! THANK YOU so much for watching! It is appreciated more than you know!

[@Learnwithjoel]

Hi @rolandgoransson5964! So if you're on iCloud.com and you go to Settings within the Mail app there, this is where you can go to create an iCloud Alias email address. When you do that, the first primary will often show up under the appleid.apple.com website under the Email & Phone Number section. You can create up to 3 total aliases in iCloud.com, so after the first one if you create a second one, you can manually add under your account on appleid.apple.com. The 30 days comes into play if you wanted to change your main original Apple ID to one of the new iCloud email aliases that were created (primary or not). Hope that makes sense!

How to change Apple ID email address I got new email address all I need to now how do I get all stuff like notes and everything transfer to new email address?

[@ellsworthcalvinjohn7963]

Nice tutorial. Thanks for that. It begs this question: Once upon a time I started using an iPhone 3GS. My apple ID was for example ‘ID#-1’. I downloaded a few applications using this apple ID. Then after thinking about it, I changed my apple ID to for example ‘ID#2’ and downloaded a few applications to that phone. Finally, I wised up and changed my apple ID to for example ‘ID#3’ and have used ‘ID#3’ ever sense. The problem is that when I upgrade my iPhones, the applications created with apple ‘ID#1’ wants the password used to download it. Same thing goes for the other apple ID’s. With that in mind, how do I query my iPhone to find out which of my 300 plus applications were downloaded with the first two apple ID’s? Once I find them I plan to delete them and re-download them using the third apple ID. Most of my applications were downloaded with the third apple ID. TIA.

[@Learnwithjoel]

Hi @ellsworthcalvinjohn7963! Let me guess...for every new iPhone you've gotten, do you restore it from an iCloud Backup? I have seen this same issue with the following scenario: Let's say that I use my brother's iPhone and I sign him out of the App Store and then sign in with my Apple ID. I then download some apps that are associated and "purchased" with my Apple ID. Now I sign out of the App Store from my Apple ID and my brother signs back in with his. What will happen is that every time there is an update for one of the apps I downloaded on his iPhone with my Apple ID, it will prompt him with the password every single time. The only way to "fix" that is to delete the app and re-download while logged into the new Apple ID. My hunch is that you're new iPhones always have been restored from a Backup, therefore it's still remembering this. I bet if you setup a new iPhone up from scratch and not a restore, that you can just download all the apps as normal. That's my hunch at least. If you had an older iPhone or iPad, you could test this theory. Thank you for your continued support! I appreciate you more than you know!

Yes, that is correct @Geowebbie! Do you already have an iCloud alias associated to your primary gmail Apple ID?

Hi @c00l0ne! So if the gmail account is already an Apple ID, you won't be able to change it to another account.

[@Learnwithjoel]

Hi @marcusnz232! It sounds like you have two Apple ID's. Is one for iCloud and the other old hotmail is associated with the App Store for music and such? Unfortunately there is no way to merge two Apple ID's. You could update the old hotmail email address on that Apple ID to something newer if wanted. Other than that, there is no problem to use one Apple ID for iCloud and a separate Apple ID for App Store purchases. THANK YOU so much for watching! It is appreciated more than you know!

Joel, I apologize I have never seen you on KZbin you’ve got my thumb up subscribed. I was shocked when I saw what I saw for. That’s not my email ID so I know what it’s for and I’ll leave it at that. I generally watch Payette forward, Dave and David. One is a technician one used to work for Apple. I had a year subscription to I want to say PlayStation which I don’t play my kids do so there’s many questions about that I don’t know what to do. I wish you were my neighbor that’s for sure you have a wonderful day, the time zone thing thing I don’t know how to do any of that you know nobody is supposed to be using my 2 TB because no one signed up and I don’t watch podcast, so why are there podcasts from years gone by? I wish I knew I need clarification I’m going down to your next video about iCloud, wish me luck buddy and again thank you so much for your helpfulness because I can’t say what I want to say. I am trying to laugh but in reality I’ve just been sitting here crying because I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. No car no way to travel to get to an Apple Store even a Best Buy. Best Buy didn’t even invite me to sit down so that didn’t go well, I wanted when I set this phone up to only have Apple on it. I was going to start Facebook everything brand new and don’t you know 16 starts to download on the day I get the phone in the mail from Apple and I wasn’t able to do anything because the supervisor had to go home. This was four hours after the girl knew what I wanted supervisor, not so much and then she said in an hour she’d have someone call to see how far along the download was going. The kid didn’t know why he was even calling. I just hung up.

Good Morning Joel, I use yahoo mail for my business we would like to use gmail is there a way to change from one to the other? And not loose all my mail from yahoo mail. Thx!!

[@Learnwithjoel]

Hi @trddak1! So if you have a yahoo email address as your Apple ID, changing that to a gmail account would not affect your yahoo email inbox of messages. The Apple ID itself is just like a username, and your username just so happens to be your yahoo email address. It's not linked to the actual emails coming to your yahoo email account. In theory you could use your Yahoo email address as an Apple ID as well as Yahoo Email and have two different passwords as the services are completely separate from one another.

[@Learnwithjoel]

Hi @xboxbml! When you say that your main email is an iCloud email address, is that an alias of the hotmail email address that is an Apple ID? If not, you won't be able to do anything as they are already both two existing Apple ID's. You can only change a current Apple ID to an email address that is not already an Apple ID. What you should be able to do is, within the Hotmail Apple ID, you can go to iCloud and associate it with a new email address ending in @iCloud.com. Then once that is created, you need to add that email address to the email section within the Apple ID website. It will add that alias to your account as an associated email address. Then if you wait past 30 days, you should be able to change the hotmail Apple ID to be the new iCloud alias. This is exactly what I did with my Comcast email Apple ID. I hope that makes sense!

​@@LearnwithjoelHmmm... I swear I was told by Apple support in the past that your Apple ID and your App Store ID were two different accounts/emails. And they were telling me that even if I changed my Apple ID email, my App Store email would remain the same. They recommended having both the same if possible. Sounds like that is no longer the case (or never was?)

[@Learnwithjoel]

@trixr4kids693 Apple ID's over the years have been very confusing. It got even more confusing when iCloud was released. Way back in the day, an Apple ID could be anything. It could just be a word. It didn't have to be an actual email address...this was very long ago. Now an email address is required to create an Apple ID. When you create an Apple ID, you have the ability to use your already existing email address, such as gmail, yahoo, outlook, or whatever you have, or you can create a brand new email address from Apple ending in @iCloud.com to be your Apple ID. Any Apple ID can be used for the App Store to buy content whether it be apps, tv shows, movies, subscriptions or anything. I hope that helps!
