I originally set up my apple account by spelling my email address incorrectly. how can i change it? it says that i need to verify from the email they sent but the email address is incorrect!
Help. I need to change my apple account and don't have access to my old email, how can i change this - how do i verify that it is me.
You set up email accounts on the iPad in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add Account. You have a choice of some of the most popular email providers in the setup list or you can select Other at the bottom.
Tap on the provider that is applicable and begin the setup on the iPad.

I have changed my email address and changed my Apple ID. However iCloud on my ipad and an ipad mini still shows my old email address. How can I change my iCloud email address?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
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 > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too. -

My apple ID is a disconnected email...how can I change it?
My iTunes and iCloud accounts are linked the the same Apple ID, which is a now-dead email address. How can I change the email to my new working email address without losing my access to the everything?
Also, lt looks like my security questions also are being sent to an old/dead email. This is why I'm afraid to make any changes.
thanks...Hello Porterhaas,

Icloud lists 2 email addresses. How can I change it to use just one.
icloud lists 2 email addresses. How can I change it to use just one?
Sign out of iCloud on the iCloud system prefs. Then, sign in with your new.
However, purchases from iTunes and the Mac App store are forever tied to the old AppleID. There is no way to change that short of deleting the old purchases and purchasing new under the new AppleID.
Based on everything that has happened lately with people using social engineering to gain access to other people’s AppleID’s, you need to speak to someone at Apple regarding your account. If you think you knew the answers to your questions and you are not getting emails anymore, someone may have gained access to your old account and has changed all of that info. -

Apparently the iCloud password on my iPhone is incorrect, how can I change it?
Hi Francessco,
If the password saved for iCloud on you iPhone is incorrect, but you know the correct password (for example, you can log in to your account at iCloud.com), you may need to update the saved password on the device. You may find the following article helpful:

I updated my software in my iPad, can't connect to App Store or iTunes, It says that I have to change to US account, right now I'm in Mexico, how can I change it to my US account
Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must click Apply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist. -

Please give advice of how can i change my Apple ID (email address) as it is wrong address. Like i just update my iPhone to latest version 6.0, and get the new app, iCloud which need me to key in my Apple ID and Password. I have no choice to use the wrong email address as it is already registerd since from 1st day i use my iPhone. Then i received the reply that tell me to check my email for verifing but the problem is i can't check my gmail as they sent to the email is not my actual gmail address....
How can i solve this problem?You may change your Apple ID to any email address that is not already used as another Apple ID, or that is not already associated with another Apple ID.
In other words, if I have an Apple ID [email protected], and have alternate email addresses of [email protected] and [email protected], none of them may be used by me or anyone else for an Apple ID, Rescue Email, alternate email, or anything Apple-related.
If the Apple ID link above indicates your email is already in use then it is. Use https://iforgot.apple.com, select Forgot your Apple ID? and provide the information requested. If the email address is one you created and can still access, you may be able to retrieve it. If it is one someone else created, you will not.
