I added a new email but how do I switch my ID to that new email?

All it lets me do is delete my account email.
 
call Apple support!
 
Nope...

Apple is so great. I mean they are nice.

Cant even change it on the website. The buttons just aren't there.

This a big deal because I got burned with Facetime showing my email address. I'm not familiar with Apple and tried FaceTime with my girlfriend and she saw my old email, which had my old GF name in it. I forgot about that and these iPads. I did not expect FaceTime would show my email anyway. WTF?

Funny how the supposed monolithic IBM has more ways to skin a cat, so many workarounds, that the average user has issues keeping it all straight.

Apple? One bite and you are theirs. Their way.

And furthermore...

Yeah. That's great. You want to live a life, you gotta play their game.

I wouldnt expect the green robot to be any better. If anything, more convoluted.
 
Why would your email address have your girlfriend's name in it?
 
I had to change mine maybe 10 years ago, Apple made me.
It seems that changing one feels like I was under fire, active spammers looking for a lead, to exploit. All piled up, 40 deep.
They carried me thru two computers and a iPod, re did everything, each 'puter had three to four spots in the programming we changed.
I was sweating bullets.
