[QUOTE="nincompoop, post: 1808694, member: 268090"] First I want thank all of you. I ever expected such quick replies. Apple Support Communities has still not responded. Now I'd like to respond to questions. I have three devices: MacBook Pro OS Mojave 10.14.2; iPOD Touch iOS 12.1; iPAD iOS 9.3.5. The iPAD is the only device I did not buy directly from Apple and it says it is up to date so I am assuming it is an old version that is not supported by the newer iOSs. All three devices show my new email address. But the iPAD showed the old one as my identifier. Based upon one suggestion to log out and log back in and the fact that the response for a verification code on my Mac appeared more quickly on my iPAD laying beside me, made me think they are were all intertwined in some way. I was able to log out of what I recall to have been the App Store on my Mac. I think it was after I did that that I got a prompt for Apple ID on my iPAD when I tried to access the App Store. Makes sense to me now why I got no login ID prompt if I was already logged in. Perhaps you all understand what was going on. I don't understand iCloud at all. Seems I'm logged in and seems it is recognizing the new email. When I tried to log out of it I got scared because it wanted to remove some things from my computer. I'm on winter vacation. When I get home I'll try to schedule a session at Apple Store on iCloud functionality. Thank you to everyone. No single answer but the various suggestions led to a solution and for that I am VERY grateful. You all have a wonderful holiday. You made mine far less stressful. [/QUOTE]
