Your apple ID is the key that ties all of your Apple devices and services together .

It's what makes it possible for you to make purchases in itunes and then access those purchases on all of your other devices using that same apple ID .

The user name of the apple ID is always an email address .

As time goes on , you may want to change that email address for a variety of reasons .

Maybe that email account got hacked , maybe you no longer use it or maybe you just got an itch to switch no matter the reason Apple makes it possible to change the email address associated with your apple ID in a matter of minutes .

And now let's walk through the steps to change the email address associated with your apple ID .
