Apple id in itunes/store reverts to display my primary email address not icloud address!
I'm sorry if it it's only me, but apple id is the most confusing thing ever invented by apple...I just don't grasp the concepts.. maybe its the language that is getting me.
My situtation...
1. I had an exising apple id it was name@gmail.com.
2. I want to use a new address: newname@icloud.com as my apple id (I understand this IS my apple id ever since i created it in icloud)
BTW, I also signed into Apple id (with my old address) and managed it by adding this new emaill address and then verified it too.
itunes/ store:
I had always used this existing id: name@gmail.com to sign into itunes/store on my mac (and for that matter find my iphone, imessage and facetime on my iphone)
Changes...
On my iphone, I decided to change the apple id for imessage, facetime and find my iphone... I was able to change it to newname@icloud.com, successfully for these 3 items...BUT I was NOT able to do it for itunes and app store. (at least not what I expected to display...see below)
itunes and app store on iphone and mac:
on the iphone in the itunes/app settings, it says "apple id: name@gmail.com" where I'm thinking it should say "email address:name@gmail.com"
on my mac, when i sign out of these accounts and sign back in with my newname@icloud.com ID it reverts to displaying my name@gmail.com account!!!
so can someone help me sort this all out? why can't itunes/store display newname@icloud.com? why must it show that other email address?
this is so frustrating!
thanks
