Change apple ID

Hello

I would like to change my Apple ID from ****@ hotmail.com to my updated email address ****@ gmail.com

I had created a new Apple ID as I was instructed to but now I can't seem to change it as it's already active

Please let me know

Thanks

Kate

If you created/use a new Apple ID, you will lose access to some of your data and the purchases made with your existing Apple ID. 


What you need to do is a name change to your Hotmail ID. Since you used the Gmail to create a new ID, you will need a new email address if you want to change it now.
