Unable to change primary email for Apple Account I only have a Mac computer running 14.1.2, I'm trying to follow the instructions here Change your Apple Account primary email address - Apple Support, I enter the new email I want, and am then presented with this modal. The thing is, on the one part I can only see "Apple ID" in System Settings, I don't know where "Apple account" is located, on the other part I tried looking into every option inside "Apple ID" just in case but couldn't find anything. Anyone know what I have to do? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

changed appleID email - can't login to anything on MacBook I changed my AppleID email address to a new email address (old one was overrun with spam). The AppleID password is fine, and works on everything on my iPhone as well as iCloud on the web (accessing via same device that is giving me trouble.) In the settings on my MacBook, it still displays the old email address as my AppleID, and prompts me to enter the password (which I repeat works everywhere else). Obviously entering the password on the MacBook does not work, but without it working, I cannot get into settings to update the AppleID email address I'm now using. It's a vicious cycle of dysfunction. SOS! Thanks in advance!

Hi there Dawn2u,

Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.

We understand that you'd like to change your Mac user account. Is that correct? Take a look here:

See if that helps. Let us know.
