Change your iTunes email address (iTunes Store Apple ID)

When you first started using iTunes and the iTunes, you were at one point asked to choose a user name and password - an email address as user name: this is what is also called your "Apple ID". If you ever purchased anything from the Apple.com online store, you already have an Apple ID, and can use it as iTunes login (credentials). So, can you change your iTunes email address / Apple ID? The answer is "Yes": this tutorial explains how to do that, and the process of changing your Apple ID is the same on Windows or Mac.

How to change your Apple ID through your iTunes Store account

Follow these steps to change the email address associated with your iTunes account:

If needed, open iTunes
If you are already inside the iTunes Store, click on your email address (your Apple ID) shown in the top right corner of the window to access your account.
Otherwise, click on the "Store" menu, and choose "View My Account ([Your Apple ID email address])"
iTunes will display the login dialog: your current Apple ID (email address) is prefilled by default
Enter your password and click on the "View Account" button
iTunes will display shortly an "Accessing iTunes Store" message, and load your main account page
The first line of information reads "Apple ID", and shows your current iTunes email address
Click on the "Edit Account Info" button next to it
The first text field of the next, "Edit Apple Account" screen reads "Email Address", and "This will be your new Apple ID" next to it: enter the new email address you want to use as Apple ID.
Scroll down all the way, and click on the "Done" button
iTunes will save the change of email address, and use it as Apple ID
You are done, and have successfully changed your iTunes email address!
Next time you need to login to iTunes, use your new email address inside the Apple ID field
Unless you also changed your password, you will still be using your old password with your new Apple ID.

Keep in mind that if you are also using an iPhone, iPod touch, or an iPad, you will need to remember to change your Apple ID from there too: when you make purchases from the iTunes Store or App Store, your device always remembers your Apple ID, and only asks for your password. The next sections of this tutorial explains how to change your Apple ID on all three devices.

Once you have your iPhone / iPod touch in hand, follow these steps:
