My current Apple ID is a @me.com address. I want to change my Apple ID to another e-mail address. How do I do it?

I'm sorry, but you can't; when the ID is an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address it's not possible to change it.

Thanks. Could a solution be to create a new Apple ID and make it a family member of my current Apple ID?

I'm afraid I can't advise on Apple ID membership, but probably somebody else will be able to chip in.

That is a viable solution for some issues.

No sure how it helps you. Can you elaborate on why you want to change your Apple ID?
