How can I change the email address on my account?

My account is tied to an old email address which hasn't existed for about a decade, how do I change this?

Hello Chris,
This can be done through our Apple ID site.
Apple ID: Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
If your primary email address for your Apple ID does not end in @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com
Note: If your Apple ID and your primary email address are currently the same, changing the primary email address will also change your Apple ID. If your Apple ID and your primary email address are different, changing your primary email address will not change your Apple ID. 
Follow these steps to change the primary email address for your Apple ID:
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID," and sign in.
With the Name, ID, and Email Address drawer selected, click Edit next to Apple ID and Primary Email Address.
Enter your new email address.
Ensure that the email address you enter:
Is one that you regularly use since this will be the primary email for your account
Is a valid email address
Is not already associated with another Apple ID you have
Is not an address that ends in @mac.com. @me.com, or @icloud.com
You will be asked to verify the email address to confirm that you can access it and that it belongs to you. When you receive the verification email, click the Verify Now link and sign in using your Apple ID and password to complete the confirmation. 
Cheers,
Allen

    How can I change the email address linked to my iCloud account for iPhone 4s?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If it's your non-iCloud mail address, start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account
    If it is your iCloud mail address you want to change, you can't.

    When my iPhone updated, it reloaded an old email address as my iCloud address and I don't know the password associated with that email address.  How do I delete the old account and set up a new one with my new email?
    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 can I change the email address of my Apple identifyer?

    I changed email provider*, it affects my apple identifier .  When I buy something it used to send me emails to that old address.  How can I change the email of my identifyer?
    Today i bought something and it said it was the first time I used my machine to buy something and asked for my security questions, but I always bought with my ipad, this is not a new machine.
    * I cancelled my account with Videotron so there is no way I can use the videotron email address anymore ( it was used for my identifyer email address)

    The only email address I see is the name of my apple identifyer.  If I change it to the new address, won't I have 2 identifyer now?  How about everything I have bought on the old email identifyer?
    I think I am misunderstandiing something here...

    Hello RousePryor
    If the iCloud account ends with an @icloud.com, then that is something that you cannot change it. If that is not the case, then you will need to sign out and may need to change it back to the old Apple ID to do so.

  • 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.

  • How can i change the email address for apple id and icloud?, how can i change the email address for apple id and icloud?

    i had to change the email address to my apple id. now when ever i try to use imessage or the icloud, it wont let me because it is using the old email address. i cant change it on my phone and idk what to do on my computer!

    If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go 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, 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.

  • 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?

  • How can I change the email address used to authorize my computer?

    I borrowed ebooks from a public library using a different email address which I should have used to authorized my computer hosting the adobe digital edition. Is there a way to modify the email address used to authorize my computer as I get an error message when I try to return the books. Thanks

    This says it was assumed answered but where is the answer?  I've gone thru the Help processes to do this but it doesn't change.  The old address is still there.  I have trouble returning books to the library and getting new books.
