    Hello cdbridge,

     

    It sounds like you just need to edit your rescue email address for your Apple ID. You should e able to get that done with the steps from this article: 

     

    About your Apple ID email addresses

    Follow these steps to add or edit a rescue email address:

    1. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
    2. Click Edit in the Security section. You might be asked to answer one or more security questions before you continue.
    3.  If you want to edit a rescue email address: 
         
      • Select Change Email Address under the address you want to edit, then enter the new address. We'll send a verification to that address. Didn't get the email?
      •  
      • Enter the verification code and click Verify.
    4. If you want to delete a rescue email address, click   next to the address.
    5. If you use two-step verification or two-factor authentication, you have a notification email address, not a rescue email address. With two-factor authentication and two step verification, you don't need a rescue address. You can also use these steps to add or edit your notification email address.
