Why can't I change my email address in Profile Edit for Communities? I will not be able to get email with the old one in the future.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2)
Because the email address is connected to your Apple ID, the one used to connect you to ASC. You would need to edit the Apple ID.
I know of no way to do this. I have an @me email address which I set up after establishing my Apple ID that I would like to change to, but can't figure out how to do it! I used the @me address to sign-in to ASP.
You can go to https://appleid.apple.com and log in there to manage your Apple ID.
I tried the link. There does not exist a way to edit or change the original Apple ID which I wish to migrate away from. Also there is not an obvious way to delete the old email address which will soon be obsolete. If there is, it certainly is well hidden!
There are some descriptive words here Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
This support document describes making the change to your Apple ID. Change your Apple ID - Apple Support
This describes all of the things to do after you change to ensure everything works again. What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password - Apple Support
I hope that helps you understand and perform the tasks.
Thank you for the response. I examined the support document that you provided. In my case, since the email I want to migrate to is already an Apple ID, I am not able to change the Apple ID. I guess that I am stuck with the old one for life.
You could just create a new Communities profile with the other Apple ID, and begin using it. Or create a new email account somewhere, then change your existing Apple ID to it.
it sounds like you are under the impression that you can only have email addresses that are "issued to you" - by an employer or by an ISP like your cable company.
Get an FREE email address from Yahoo, Gmail or Hotmail and utilize it as the replacement for the one that is going away
