How to I change the email address associated with my Apple ID?
I have @iCloud.com and @me.com email addresses listed, but can't make any of the the Apple ID email address - a pop-up box states "this is an alias of your Apple ID email address".
I have added a new work address, but can't delete the old one - a pop-up box states "this email address cannot be removed, because it is your Apple ID"
Re: How to I change the email address associated with my Apple ID?
Seems if your current Apple ID email address is your primary iCloud email address it cannot be changed to a third-party email address.
More info: iCloud: About your @icloud.com, @me.com, and @mac.com email addresses - Apple Support
and
Add and manage email aliases for iCloud Mail on iCloud.com - Apple Support
If your current Apple ID email address is an alias or a third-party (eg: Yahoo / GMail etc.) email address:
you can likely change it. You won’t lose access to your contacts, purchases, or other account information
How to change your Apple ID to a different email address:
If you haven't already: Try going to your Apple ID account online:
Apple ID Log-in: https://appleid.apple.com/
If needed:
How to: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support
You can likely edit / update any of your details there.
Thank you for the advice.
My Apple ID is my work email address, and I'm changing employment soon. The email address is hosted by the business on Outlook.
Both my @iCloud.com and @me.com email addresses show as aliases of the work address. Not sure how that happened.
I have added my new work address, but unable to deleted my old work address.
Silly to have used my work email address as my Apple ID, I know.
