Does the email address of your Apple ID end in iCloud.com, me.com, mac.com. One or

two of these could be aliases for your Apple ID (depending on the

circumstances), which implies the email address of your "official"

apple ID is the remaining one. Of these options that are open to you, you can

change your Apple ID officially to the one of your choice. Such a change is not

very significant except for a very few circumstances. But, if you want to do

so, see "How to change your Apple ID if it ends with @icloud.com, @me.com,

or @mac.com" in this read: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667 Use

this read also to see other information about changing your Apple ID.

 

Your other option is to change from an existing third party Apple ID to another

third-party Apple ID. If interested in doing so, see "If your Apple ID is

a third-party email address" in this read: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667


In either case, see "What to do after you change your Apple ID or

password:" https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071

If you don't know the answers, if the steps in the article below don’t work, contact Apple ID Support, although I’m not sure they will be able to help.


Apple ID - If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201485


From the article below.


Without proof of your identity via security questions and other carefully selected criteria, Apple Support can't help you reset a password or perform any other actions on your account. These policies are audited and reviewed on a regular basis.

First: I have an old apple id from an employer : finn.dale@norskeskog.com. I want to get rid of it but I don't remember the password etc.

Now I have new one called finn.dale@me.com. I know the password but unable to remember the control questions so I cannot administrate the account. How do I get around that?

Please help!
