Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

2015.12.10 23:09 MaksTech Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

Mostly looks good but if you're one of the people who are forever stuck with an @mac.com AppleID that can't be changed it is now not possible to see your primary email address anywhere.
I'll file a bug report.
EDIT: I just looked and it really doesn't appear anywhere. It's not possible to see your primary email address after this change. It's not even in the "reachable at" list of addresses.
This is a new layer on top of a really long standing bug for those of us with long abandoned @mac.com addresses.
EDIT2: Bug report filed. When did they redesign that too? Looks swish.

I just tried it. I signed in with my @mac.com Apple ID, and the first thing I see is the "Account" section with my @mac.com address under the "Apple ID" header, and it's included in the long list of reachable addresses including the undesired @me.com and @icloud.com addresses.

2015.12.11 02:52 toholio /u/toholio on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

That's exactly what I'm seeing too.
What's not showing up anywhere is my primary email address, which is also the address I use for sending and receiving iMessages. It's from a domain that has nothing to do with Apple.
Attempting to add it gives an error message saying the address I'm trying to add is already my Apple ID which is not the case.

2015.12.11 18:12 Geekv2 /u/Geekv2 on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

I like my @me.com address!

2015.12.11 20:51 FUCK_TARDS_ANON /u/FUCK_TARDS_ANON on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

Are they now all interchangeable?
So @icloud, @me, @mac? Or for the newer accounts just @me/icloud?
I had an @mac way back... christ if I an remember. Hrm, 'stalgia.

While your complaint is legitimate, and that information should be listed, do you need to be told what your Apple ID is when you just signed in with it?

2015.12.11 00:44 toholio /u/toholio on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

do you need to be told what your Apple ID is

You can see your Apple ID. The thing you can't see is your primary email address. If you have an @mac.com Apple ID you can't make them the same for reasons that Apple have never explained.
It won't usually matter but sometimes does. For example, one of the first things people tell you to check if you aren't getting iMessages is that your contact address is listed in the "reachable at" list. That won't work until this is fixed. On appleid.apple.com anyway. On iOS it currently still works correctly.
And people with multiple email addresses can't always remember which one they used to sign up for things. I've done that myself.
My big concern is that this may be more than just a display issue. If you've got an @mac.com Apple ID it sometimes, seemingly no matter what you do, gets used as the "from" address for things like iMessages. So people end up with a long abandoned address in their contact for you. If this bug means that's going to start happening even more often then it's going to be a pain in the ass.

2015.12.11 05:39 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

Your Apple ID is your primary address.

2015.12.11 06:03 toholio /u/toholio on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

No, it isn't. That's actually been a complaint a lot of people stuck with old unchangeable Apple IDs for years now.
The appleid.apple.com site prior to this redesign actually had a callout next to my primary email address that said something like "Make your primary email address and Apple ID the one and the same". Clicking the button in that callout produced an error. After this redesign I can no longer see my primary email address anywhere.
There are some people with Apple IDs old enough that they aren't email addresses at all.

2015.12.11 06:08 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

ahh ok, sorry. I guess in your situation, due to the @mac.com, it changes the "primary" and "apple Id" designations. For myself, my primary address/apple ID was one if the same. i could add alternate emails, but i couldn't use them to sign in.

2015.12.11 06:14 toholio /u/toholio on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

The situation you're describing for yourself is the normal one, I think.
It's also what I'd like to be true for me. I really don't like that iMessages and stuff sometimes get sent from my @mac.com address for reasons I can't figure out.

2015.12.11 08:47 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

wait so they just have a username and a password or something?

2015.12.11 08:52 toholio /u/toholio on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

Yup. There's a couple of them commenting in this thread.
All you kids can get off our ancient Apple ID lawns!

2015.12.11 04:39 turtl3rs /u/turtl3rs on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

Not to be "that guy," but with the position that she has the Apple Watch in, shouldn't the display be turned off?
Edit: Grammar

2015.12.11 07:07 thechrismonster /u/thechrismonster on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

Or at least on a watch face.

2015.12.12 00:42 hobbbz /u/hobbbz on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

its upside down as well. i know you can set it how you want, but the default is knobs closer to your opposite hand.

2015.12.11 00:41 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

I still have an Apple ID from the past that is not an email address, just the text. And it's from my email account back when it was .mac which is now my iCloud address that has an email obviously. I wish I could just merge the two since they're from the same account but I've never been able to and likely never will. I just want to know one thing, my email address for my iCloud and iTunes. Fix this Apple!! Fix it now you beautiful little sons of bitches.

2015.12.11 01:05 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

I think Apple has some serious database issues that arose when they introduced iCloud email addresses and will likely never go away. I'm still stuck using my gmail address as my apple ID for iTunes and the Mac app store... Why!?!?

2015.12.11 01:13 toholio /u/toholio on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

They might have to address it eventually. That mess is probably at least partly to blame for making it impossible to see your primary email address on appleid.apple.com after this update.

2015.12.11 15:08 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

That's intentional, it's a security issue. I've talked to them about this

2015.12.11 19:31 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

Do you know what the issue is exactly?

2015.12.11 19:55 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

They don't want your recovery email to be the same email that your account is. For example, if you get locked out, they want it to be a different email.
Yes, there are better ways to do that, but that's what they told me when I called them. The guy I talked to even said that he was in the exact same position with his account, and there was nothing he could do.

2015.12.11 21:26 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

But why can't I switch them then? Have my gmail be my recovery and use my iCloud as the account name/login?
I really think it is a deeper issue that is just barely hidden from view.

2015.12.11 00:49 toholio /u/toholio on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

You can't even see what your primary email address is after this change. It's not even in the "reachable at" list for me.
I know what you mean about this being frustrating. No matter what I do I somehow occasionally end up sending iMessages with my long abandoned @mac.com address as the "from" address.
If they'd make it so those AppleIDs weren't permanently stuck it'd be great.

2015.12.11 01:20 ikilledtupac /u/ikilledtupac on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

like how it only shows you the first name in iMessage now. Who wants that? Accident waiting to happen.

2015.12.11 18:58 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

This is a setting that you can change.
On your phone/ipad go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars - Under the Contacts section go to "Short Name" and select how you want the name to appear in iMessages or turn off "Short Name" and the full name will appear.

2015.12.11 19:01 ikilledtupac /u/ikilledtupac on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

my hero!

2015.12.11 19:08 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

Glad I could help! It's definitely not a setting you can find where many people would expect it to be :)

2015.12.11 03:54 StrikerObi /u/StrikerObi on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

Can you still not merge two appleIDs? Drives me nuts that I can't.

2015.12.11 05:38 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

no. That will probably never be a available.

2015.12.11 06:17 TheGeorgeForman /u/TheGeorgeForman on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

I don't know if it's possible, but I was finally able to use my email for my first appleID as my email for my current one without having to delete my old one. I don't know if that counts.

2015.12.11 03:54 Kynmore /u/Kynmore on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

Wants me to change from my non-email address Apple ID.
Yeah that's not gonna happen, not willingly at least.

2015.12.11 07:00 toholio /u/toholio on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

I thought you couldn't change those! I figured they were like the @mac.com Apple IDs that can't be altered even if you want to.

2015.12.11 07:10 hayden_evans /u/hayden_evans on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

Wake me up when we're able to merge ID's and change the email associated with the ID

2015.12.11 09:26 elmundio87 /u/elmundio87 on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

I changed the email associated with my id a few months ago.
It was literally the only account that was using my old ISP's email account and I wanted it to use my gmail.
Merging accounts would be nice though.

2015.12.13 18:34 shook_one /u/shook_one on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

You have been able to change the email that an Apple ID uses for like... Ever

2015.12.11 20:08 havaloc /u/havaloc on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

Has anyone figure out how to migrate from two-step to two-factor authentication?

2015.12.11 05:41 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

Be careful when changing your Apple ID primary address. Make sure you sign out of icloud on all of your device first before changing.

2015.12.11 06:58 toholio /u/toholio on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

What happens otherwise? Just makes things a mess?

Yeah I went through this about a month ago. Destroyed all the iCloud services on my Mac and phone.

iTunes Connect has looked like this for a while.

I like.

2015.12.11 05:31 Awsaim /u/Awsaim on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

I absolutely love that they photoshopped an Apple Watch onto that lady's wrist.

2015.12.11 11:24 cryo /u/cryo on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

What makes you think they did?

2015.12.11 18:42 Awsaim /u/Awsaim on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

It doesn't even look real. Zoom in on the pixels, it's fake.

2015.12.11 07:00 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

I know it's just a small web page, but it sure looks nice. :D

The only thing that changes is everything... Wowwww

2015.12.11 22:34 mapalm /u/mapalm on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

I just logged in for kicks to see how it looked and discovered that there is now no way to view a Primary Email address.
My Apple ID is a very old email account that ends in @sbcglobal.net, but my primary email account is @me.com. The only way I can see that my primary email account is still listed as @me.com is by going into iCloud on my iPhone and looking at it there.
At first I thought Apple had forced me to make my @sbcglobal.net Apple ID also my primary email, but seems OK. I think...

Finally a way to edit your billing info. Could be mistaken but I think previously you had to do this in iTunes on a computer or by calling Apple.

Liked the old one. It was less cluttered and seemed to take less time to load.

Ha, I thought I was the only one.

2015.12.10 23:52 asoksevil /u/asoksevil on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

About damn time! I feel the ID page is useful now.

2015.12.11 06:01 /u/[deleted] on Apple finally redesigns their Apple ID page

"Your account for everything Apple." is less curt than "One account. All of Google.".
