I need to change the email address in iCloud

What do you mean? - the address you use for login or the @icloud.com email address created when you opened your iCloud account?
LOGIN
If your login is an @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com address you cannot change it. If it is a non-Apple email address you can change it, but please be careful to follow the procedure outlined here:
Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
EMAIL ADDRESS
Once you have created an iCloud account and chosen an @icloud.com address to go with it you can't change the address (short of creating an entirely new account).
However, all is not lost. You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

I need to change the email address in my account

I can't see where to change the email address in my account. The address listed is one that I no longer have access to and every time I try to change it, it tells me that the address I change it to is not available.
Where can I change the email address?

How can I change my account on icloud without losing all my data and suppressing the former account. I just need to change the email address... TKS

I changed my email address, how can I keep my icloud data without cancelling my former account...?

Hey there Fonz111,
It sounds like you have a new email address you would like to use to replace the email address you are currently using for your Apple ID, without losing any of the info you have in the account. You can update the email address with this article named:
Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5621
To change your Apple ID, follow these steps:
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID", and sign in.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you are unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
In the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address section," click Edit.
Enter the email address you want to use, then click Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now in the email.
When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your renamed Apple ID.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID.
After you see a message indicating that verification is complete, remember to update all of the stores and services that you use with your Apple ID.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

HT5621 I need to change the email address associated with Icloud. My provider has changed. I have looked at the directions to do this,but my old email is still coming up. How do I change the address to the correct e-mail?

I don't want to change my Apple ID, I just need to change the e-mail address that is attached to my icloud account. I changed the Apple ID to my new e-mail, but icloud still has the old address.

Did you get a resolution to this? I have the same problem.

I need to change my email address which iCloud is showing as its offenisive

Can anyone help

If you mean you mean you need to change the iCloud ID, 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.

HT1918 My iPhone and my iPod have different account email addresses, I would like to sync them. When I try to change (using edit) it reminds me that I already have an account with that name. I don't need the reminder, I need to change the email address

I used different email addresses when I signed up for my iPod and my iPhone. I would like to use only ONE email address for both devices. When I try to edit, it tells me there is already a user with that address (hint: I know that!). Does anyone know how to sync two email accounts into one? Thanks,

When I go into my account settings and try to change my old hotmail address to my current Yahoo! address, it tells me "That email address is already used as an Apple ID." Yeah, I know that. I set up the account that I'd really, really, like to have together, but it won't let me go further. End of activity! It is trusting that my email account and password are correct b/c it will let me make purchases, etc., so it's not like it is preventing fraud or anything. Summary: iPod = Yahoo!, iPhone = hotmail, would like to have both reflect my Yahoo! address.

Forgot password (need to change the email address)

I am in a unique predicament. My Apple Store account ************** is currently locked. Unfortunately it is registered to **************
I haven't renewed my domain (gladwynlewis.com), neither can I renew it, because someone else has picked it up. Because the apple store has unique restrictions not allowing me to use the same email address for the login, I had to use the other email.
I want to change my email back to************ for the iTunes access, how do I do that? And please understand I cannot renew my domain name, so reverting back to my original email is now impossible. Please help, because I cannot download anything from my iTunes account, my devices are locked to that account, and I cannot change anything!!
<Edited by Host>

We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
You can change the primary email address on an account by logging into it via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, by tapping on it the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on and iOS device and logging into, or via http://appleid.apple.com
After changing your primary email address : Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
What password have you forgotten ? If your iTunes account then http://iforgot.apple.com , if you can't get it reset via that then contact Support in your country and they should be able to reset it for you : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699

I need to change the email address my iPhoto is registered to.

I have changed my email & Apple ID but I cannot update iPhoto as it is registered to my old adress. Any suggestions?

If you remember the old ID and password you can log into the App Store with them and update iPhoto. Use the new ID and password for everything else. The downside is remembering both.

I need to change the email address and upgrade my subscription

I didn't realize that I have two accounts with Adobe, let's say email A and email B. Now my subscription is saved under email B. I want it to be moved to email A and when it's been done successfully, delete email B. Also, I want to upgrade my account from single purchase to complete. I have been trying to chat with your team since last night and tried all day today but no luck!

Hi There,
Kindly contact our support team via: Contact Customer Care
Here is what you need to do.
Cancel the subscription under B, purchase a new subscription under A.
If you do not want to use email B, you can leave it as it is. It can also be disabled and after doing that it cannot use B ever again.
Thanks,
Atul Saini
