Changing email address on apple ID

Have an email associated with my apple ID, that I can't access any longer. Discontinued my cable service and lost that email. Neglected to change the email on Apple ID before I lost access.


Whats the best solution?


  1. Keeping Apple Id and changing email.
  2. Creating new apple ID, but transferring all data


Just concerned about losing contacts, photos and text messages

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

Option 1 is best. If you create/use a new Apple ID, you will lose access to some of your data and the purchases made with your existing Apple ID.
