how do i change my rescue email address for my apple ID acct?

My primary email address will be no more, so I am trying to shift to another one. I wanted to make my alternate email address my primary one, so i added a new alternate...yet it is still not allowing me to change the primary one to the one i wanted (the former alternate) because it says it's my rescue address. what gives? is there some other place where you change the "Rescue" email addy?

I'm trying to do the same but this doesn't seem to work. For some reason the email address I want to use as my primary is still associated to the account, although it is not listed as either the primary or an alternate address (it was until just now my rescue email address).


Any ideas how to change a primary email address - e.g similar to most other applications along the lines of a button/link next to said email address that says "make primary" (seriously it can't be that hard!)
