Did you create and use a new AppleID when you changed email addresses (not good) - or did you instead update your existing AppleID account (the correct procedure) to reflect the change to your primary email address - and by extension, your AppleID username?


These are the procedures related to AppleID - including those necessary for a change of primary email address:
