How can I change the email address associated with iCloud without losing information?

How can I can change the email address associated with my iCloud account without losing data on my iPad?

If you're running iOS 6, to change your iCloud ID go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

    To change the iCloud ID ("email address") you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How do I change the email Address associated with my FF forum userid?

    I am new to the FF help forum and I can't find an appropriate place to post this. How do I change the email address associated with my FF help forum registration? I tried to use my personal email address but somehow it says it's already registered - but it won't give me the userid. I used a business email address to register now but I want to try to get it over to my personal email address - if FF forum will let me do that.
    thank you

  • How do I change the email address associated with my AppleID?

    How do I change the email address associated with my AppleID? I have tried numerous times to do it, but the email address is always grayed-out and unchangeable. Somehow, my wife's email address is associated with my AppleID and her distinct AppleID? Trying to use FaceTime doesn't work for me since it thinks I am sending from her email address to the same address she has at her end. Frustrated!

  • HT1911 How do you change the email address associated with forgetting your security answers

    Trying purcahse a song on iTunes and have been prompted to answer security questions.  Since I do not remember setting up these security questions, I do not remember the answers.
    I can click a link that will send instructions to resetting the security questions, but the email address associated with this link is no longer active.  How do I change this email address?

    Just where are you going?
    and what do you see? A screen shot with personal info redacted would be great.
    I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
    Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

  • How do I change the email address associated with this account?

    I can find no option to update the email address associated with this account. This is causing a problem since the Apple Support Communities ID that I use is different than my iTunes account name, but the email address for both is the same. it's causing all sorts of weirdness with Game Center, logging into this site with my iTunes account (errors out), etc.
    I see no options in preferences ot update this account email address.
    Am I missing something obvious?

    Well 99% there anyway. Now that I've successfully updated my email address, it asked me to merge the new email address as the login, which is fine, so I did that, but now I no longer see the option to edit the "Username" value.
    What I'm trying to do here is to retire my username under this account, and take it on under my primary iTunes account. It won't let me do that while this old account has it reserved.
    Hopefully that makes sense
    Once I merged my new primary email address with this account, the 'Username' field disappeared and now just shows the new email address with no option to edit the friendly 'Username' *sigh*.

  • I have several questions. First one, how can I change the email address on my icloud to match my itunes?, I have several questions. First one, how can I change the email address on my icloud to match my itunes?

    The email address I have now is not the email I had when I set up my icloud and now I can't update the new email address on my iphone, can someone help me?
    Second question, I didn't know that everyone in the house had to have a separate itunes account so now my oldest information is on my iphone now, not mine.  I have lost all my contacts, notes and everything and all the information from my oldest is now on the icloud not mine.  How do I get my information back on my iphone?

    If you need to change the primary email address associated with your iCloud Apple ID, see "How to change you Apple ID and primary email address" here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68.  If you change the name of your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your new credentials.  Deleting the account will only delete the account and your synced data from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, you data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.  If you have any photo stream photos on your phone that are over 30 days old, save them to the camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).
    On your second question, did you change iCloud accounts and lose all your data?  If so, is your data still in the original account when you sign into it and check from a computer?

    Hello All,
    In order to update your email address you'll need to private message me the following information.
    Your Screen Name
    The new email address that you would like to use.
    I'll then have to put in a request to have your email address changed for each individual account.

  • How do I change the email address associated with my feed?

    I've decided I want to associate a different email address with my newly-submitted podcast feed, so I changed the email address that appears within my feed after I submitted it to iTunes. However, the "Your podcast has been approved" email went to the original email address.
    I looked at my podcast within iTunes to see which email address is associated with it there, but I don't see an email address anywhere.
    Might this just be a matter of cacheing that will resolve itself within a day or two? And if so, is there a way for me to confirm which email address is associated with my feed?
    Thank you,
    Adam
    Message was edited by: drwebstein

    You are confusing two different things here. You can if you wish include an email address in the feed for podcast visitors to contact you: it's carried in these tags:
    <itunes:owner>
    <itunes:name>YOUR NAME</itunes:name>
    <itunes:email>AN EMAIL ADDRESS FOR VISITORS (OPTIONAL)</itunes:email>
    </itunes:owner>
    In the iTunes Store you have an email address registered which the Store will use to contact you to confirm purchases, podcast acceptance and so on. This doesn't have anything to do with the address in the feed and doesn't have to be the same.
    To change this, click on 'Account' at right in the Store page. In the Account Options page which opens click 'Edit' on the 'Apple ID' line and a pane will open with a field to change the associated email address. (Your Apple ID probably takes the form of an email address but this is just a text string used as an ID and you can't change it - it doesn't have to be the same as the registered email address.)
