You can use any email address for a new Apple ID. You can also change an existing Apple ID from one third-party address to another, like from @hotmail.com to @gmail.com. However, if your existing Apple ID is an @icloud.com, @mac.com or @me.com address, you can’t change it to a third-party one.

See the instructions below for changing an Apple ID. Note that you can use gmail depending on your circumstances.

Change your Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202667 Read these two sections very carefully to see what is allowed: If your Apple ID is a third-party email address and How to change your Apple ID if it ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.

Before changing your Apple ID using a computer, sign out of all Apple services that use your Apple ID. If you are going to use an iPhone, iPad, or iPod, then stay signed in with your Apple ID on only that device. This instruction is taken from the above documentunder the heading Before you change your Apple ID.

For sign out purposes, see Where can I use my Apple ID? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202659 “This list is provided for informational purposes only and is subject to change without notice. It’s not intended to include every feature or service that uses Apple ID. Visit the Apple ID support page for more information.”

There may be some redundancy, but see What to do after you change your Apple ID or password

If you want to create a new Apple ID, then see How to create a new Apple ID https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204316

Some of these things will apply to your situation even if you are not changing your Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID or password https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204071

Keep in mind that some things available under a first Apple ID will not be available under the new Apple ID. For example, you won’t be able to transfer anything purchased from the App and iTunes Stores to the new ID. And, there are other issues to be addressed. See

About your Apple ID email addresses

Learn how to add, change, or delete the different types of email addresses that you can use with your Apple ID account.

Email addresses you use with your Apple ID

Your Apple ID uses email addresses to sign you in to your account with Apple. With your Apple ID, you can access services like the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, and more. We use your email addresses to send you information about your account, and to help friends and family communicate and share with you.

Apple ID email address
In most cases, your Apple ID is also the primary email address of your Apple ID account.

Additional email addresses
Add extra email addresses to your account to help people find you on Apple services like FaceTime, iMessage, and Find My.

Rescue email address
Most people have a notification email address instead of a rescue email address. Apple uses this to send you important account and security related information. If you don’t use two-factor authentication or two-step verification (learn how to check what security method you use), you have the option to add a rescue email address to your account for more security. You can see it when you sign in to your Apple ID account page.

Before you can use a new or updated Apple ID, we’ll send you a verification email to make sure that the email address belongs to you.

Apple ID email address

When you create an Apple ID, you enter an email address. This email address is your Apple ID and the username that you use to sign in to Apple services like Apple Music and iCloud. It’s also the contact email address for your account. Be sure to check your email address regularly. We’ll send you email notifications to help you manage your account and make the most of your Apple ID.

Change your Apple ID email address

Reset your Apple ID password

If you know your current Apple ID password and want to change it, follow these steps on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. If you’ve forgotten your Apple ID password and need to reset it, follow these steps.*

Get a verification code

With two-factor authentication, you’ll need a verification code to sign in with your Apple ID on a new device or browser. Learn how to get and use the code on a trusted device, or get a text or phone call.

* If you use two-factor authentication, in some cases you might be able to speed up the account recovery process or reset your password immediately by verifying a six-digit code sent to your primary email address.

Additional email addresses

Many of us have more than one email address that friends and family use to reach us. Add an email address that you commonly use to your Apple ID account, so people can easily find and communicate with you on Apple services like FaceTime, iMessage, Shared Albums, iWork collaboration, and Find My.

Add an additional email address

1. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
2. Click Edit in the Account section.
3. Under Reachable at, select Add More.
4. Enter your additional email address. Make sure you’re not already using it as an Apple ID.
5. We’ll send a verification to that address. Didn’t get the email?
6. Enter the verification code and click Verify.

Delete an additional email address

1. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
2. Click Edit in the Account section.
3. To delete one of your additional email addresses, click next to the address.

Rescue email address

Having a rescue email address is optional but recommended if you do not have two-factor authentication or two-step verification. If you ever forget your security questions, you can use your rescue email address to reset them. We also send any account security-related notifications to your rescue email address. If you have two-factor authentication or two-step verification, you have a notification email address instead of a rescue email address and won’t need to remember security questions.

Add or edit a rescue email address

1. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
2. Click Edit in the Security section. You might be asked to answer one or more security questions before you continue.
3. To add a rescue email address:
   • Under Rescue Email, click Add an Email Address, then enter your rescue email address. We send a verification to that address. Didn’t get the email?
   • Enter the verification code and click Verify.
4. To edit a rescue email address:
   • Select Change Email Address under the address you want to edit, then enter the new address. We send a verification to that address. Didn’t get the email?
   • Enter the verification code and click Verify.

If you had a rescue email address on file when you upgraded to two-factor authentication or two-step verification, you can also use these steps to edit your notification email address. If you remove the notification email, you won’t be able to add a new one.

Delete a rescue email address

1. Sign in to your Apple ID account page.
2. Click Edit in the Security section. You might be asked to answer one or more security questions before you continue.
3. To delete a rescue email address, click next to the address.

Reset your security questions

If you’ve forgotten the answers to your security questions, follow these steps to verify your identity and reset your security questions. If you set up two-factor authentication or two-step verification, you won’t need to remember any security questions.

Question: Q: Can I use a gmail address for my Apple ID?

I am having trouble changing my apple ID and I am about to cancel the email account that I originally used. When I tried to change it to my gmail account, I got a message saying that the email address is not available. Does that mean I can’t use it or is there a problem with the system? Can I use my icloud address?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), iOS 10.2.1

You can use an icloud address, but remember that if you do, you will not be able to change it; this is from the document linked to below:

If your email address ends with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com, you might not be able to change your Apple ID. You also won’t see Change Email Address on your account page.

Thank you for that information. For some reason it won’t let me change it to my iCloud address or my gmail address. I think I am going to have to make a trip to the Apple Store. GRRR!

Feb 22, 2017 12:14 AM

Thank you — I tried signing out of everything but it still won’t accept my gmail address — keeps saying the address is not available. I think it is going to have to be a trip to the Apple Store! Thanks anyway

Feb 22, 2017 12:16 AM

Have you used that gmail address previously for anything related to Apple?

If you’re only going to use that address for Apple, how about you create a new gmail address to be used just for that? Or any other free online email provider?

Feb 22, 2017 7:59 AM

Perhaps the address isn’t available for use as a new Apple ID because you’ve already set it up? Can you gain access to it via https://iforgot.apple.com?

Feb 22, 2017 8:06 AM

Would imply that you already used that address somehow.

I’d create a new gmail email account. You can go into gmail setting and have all your gmail forwarded to whatever account you want.

I am having trouble changing my apple ID and I am about to cancel the email account that I originally used.

As far an Apple ID is concerned the email address is simply a unique identifier. The email address doesn’t have to be active and reachable, although that does make life easier if you need to reset your password. Existing content cannot be transferred to a new ID, and will still be available using the current user name and password. If you have any iOS devices it is worth noting that updating apps across multiple accounts is complicated. You may be better off sticking with the original Apple ID and adding a rescue address.

Feb 22, 2017 5:14 PM

To be honest, I have no idea if I have or not. Your suggestion is a good one. I don’t know if you can have more than one Gmail account but I will give it a go! Thanks so much!
