How to change email address on iCloud

My email address was hacked into so I had to change it. Which caused me to change my apple ID also. Now I am not sure how to change my email address on Icloud. It still show my old apple ID. Do I have to delete the whole account an start it over? Not smart with computers and did not want to fight holiday crowd at the apple store for help. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • How to change email address on iCloud account?

    Not sure how it happened while registering my wife's new iPhone, but the email address that appeared on iCloud was her iTunes address and not her .me address. We would like to change the iCloud addres to her .me address. How?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple,  Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

    Hi Joycars,
    Can you not simply sign out of the iCloud account with the incorrect email? Not sure I'm following?

  • Changing email addresses in iCloud

    I recently upgraded to Lion and switched my mobileme email addresses to iCloud. I want to replace one of my aliases with another. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?

    How many aliases did you have in MobileMe? You were allowed five, but iCloud allows only three. If you had five, all will have been migrated but you will have to delete three before you can add one. If you currently have three you can delete one but you will have to wait a week before you can add another. If you have only two you can add another one immediately.
    Go to the Mail page at http://icloud.com , click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Preferences', and click 'Accounts' in the toolbar of the pane which opens.
    If you have more than two aliases, select one or more and click the '-' sign below the list. If you hava a space available, click 'Add an alias'.

  • HT1338 can't change email address in iCloud. changed and verified on all other devices.

    i need to change my email address on icloud.  i have done that in all other accounts on macbook pro, iphone and ipad, all successfully.  cannot get icloud up to date on mac.

    Okay. This IS THE SOLUTION. Read this. 1) YOU did use your Apple ID password ... even if, like me, you don't remember doing it and couldn't figure out why you did not log the "new iCloud password". 2) See link below. Apparently, Apple does not currently allow you to enter a different password for a new @me, iCloud e-mail account. I followed the instructions in this link below, using Snow Leopard, and set up my @me e-mail account on my iMac in Mail app. The icon is "mobileme", but I can live with that. Geeh! Did I actually solve an Apple problem for once? Boy, that's neat. Enjoy all.

  • HT204053 how do I change email address on icloud for my phone?  somehow I have another email address on my laptop and want them to be the same plus I don't know the old/phone password

    How do I change the email associated with Icloud on my phone.  It's not my mail apple id, its and old one and I don't know the password anymore.  I have another apple ID associated with my ipad and laptop and the icloud works great with that.  I just did the new iphone update and now its constantly asking for the icloud/apple id - the one I don't even know the password for anymore and it keeps popping up all the time. 

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • IPod Touch Gen 4 - Cannot change email address under iCloud Settings

    Hello everybody,
    I recently purchased an iPhone 5C, so I haven't been using my iPod Touch, which is a generation 4. I want to update the music on it, and I'm sure I can without using iCloud, but here is my problem:
    It keeps asking me to sign into iCloud. I've changed my iCloud email address and password around the time I got my iPhone. It won't let me change the email, and I've tried typing in my old and new password to change it, but it's not accepting anything.
    Any help appreciated.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Change email address in icloud

    I have an email that was hacked.  I have my iphone and ipad set up using that particular email.  I was able to change my email and all of my Apple related emails go to my new email address. However, when I went to my settings on my phone it is still defaulted as my old email and even though I have reset my password a dozen times I can't get in to icloud settings ON MY PHONE and Ipad, but I can log into my iCloud using another computer.  Is there any way to change my iCloud name and reset my iPhone and iPad?  Quite a few of my apps are not working now and I am afraid I will have to dump everything and start all over again

  • Can't open email and contacts after changing email address in iCloud

    I changed my email address in iTunes and iCloud and now I cannot open email and contacts.  The beachball appears and after about 2-3 minutes I get a message that the program cannot open.  I'm ready to throw my iMac out the window.  It is only a couple months old.

    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
