Apple is great at making the best communication devices are in the market. Whether it is an iPad, iPhone, or your iMac, one thing is for certain: it is build with the upmost quality in mind. Protecting the information inside your Apple device from unwarranted access is of high consequence and rests on your shoulders as well. If you feel like your Apple iTunes login ID has been compromised, then you need to change it so that you can guarantee security for your Apple device as well as the information inside of it. Below are the detailed steps that you will follow in order to enable you change this login ID.
Sign out first
This is the first thing that you need to do before proceeding to any step. You should make sure that you log out of every app in the Apple device that uses your Apple ID. This can be iCloud, iTunes App Store, Find my iPhone, Facetime, Find my friends as well as iMessage on every device available that uses your ID.
Sign in using your iTunes Login ID
The next step is to go to the Apple ID account page and sign in. You therefore need to use the Apple Id and password that you have been using before.
Changing Email Address
This step is actually quite simple as all you have to do is go to the account section on the window that you had opened as a result of step 2. Click on the Edit part and this is what will lead you to the Change Email Address section. If you are using some password manager like KeePass make sure to update the iTunes login info there as well.
Verification Code sent
You then enter the email address that you wish to change to as your new Apple ID. A verification code will immediately be sent to the provided email address that you have provided which you will then have to retrieve as it will be used in the next step.
Verify and be done
You will be provided with some field that you need to insert the verification code that has been sent to the email address you provided. After you have set this code in the required fields, your new Apple ID is updated and you can start using your device with no worries at all.
The above information is really important for anyone with an Apple device as it not only guarantees security for your information, but it also ensures that the device is really yours. You need to remember that the email address that you provide should be under your control for your own safety. This is a really important step because without a valid email address you will not be able to change your iTunes login again. Remember to update this new Apple ID on all the devices that you had signed out of so that you don’t inconvenience yourself later on which happens to a lot of people in many cases.
