Can I change my iCloud account email address?

When I got my iPhone and started using the iCloud, it was with an older email address - but everything's been working OK. I have since created a newer Apple ID associated with my recent email address.
Recently I updated my billing address on the credit card I use ot pay for the iCloud service, but when I try to update my iClous setting on my iPad or iPhone, they both have the older Apple ID email addresses and everytime I try to reset that password, I never get the confrimation email.
Any sugesstions?
Thanks - Jerry

  • I need to change the iCloud account email address.

    I need to change the iCloud account email address as this email is now canceled. Can't seem to find how ;(

    If you mean the non-Apple email address which is your login, you can change it at http://appleid.apple.com - click on 'Manage your account'. You can't change the @icloud.com address you set up when you opened the account.

  • HT5312 I changed my email address and apple is ok wih it but iCloud still has my old email address and is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my iCloud account email address corrected and also get my new password

    Hi
    I changed email addresses but iCloud sill has my previous address registered. It also is not recognising either my original password or my new password. How can I get my new email address into the iCloud system, and also lodge a new password with them?
    I'm using an ipad and all else is ok but not icloud.

    Welcome to the Apple community Ross.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and 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 and some other circumstances.
    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. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    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.

  • HT204053 My icloud account email address is my old email address.  How do I change it to my current email address?

    my icloud account email address is my old email address.  how do I change it?

    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 iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, 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 iPhone 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 old icloud account on my 4s ios 8.1.1?

    i recently "upgraded" my old iphone 4 and bought a secondhand 4s, i forgot to ask the owner to reset the phone but it was pretty blank and now I can't change his icloud account to mine.... Any ideas on how to do that? I have some files on my icloud that I Rather not lose. Please help me with a way to do this. By-the-way the owner's icloud was made with an old email address made just for this iphone and used it only on activation....(and he is kind of a jerk)

    Hi Mihai.rxn,
    Based on your description, it sounds like the phone in question may still be Activation Locked to the previous owner's Apple ID. If that is the case, you may find the following article helpful:

  • How can I change my iCloud ID email?

    How can I change my iCloud ID email?

    Please follow these steps in order to change your iCloud ID.
    (Please note that @mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com email addresses as primary iCloud ID could not be changed.)
    Start with signing out of iCloud on all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - (iOS: "Settings > iCloud", Mac: "System Preferences > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway).
    After that go to http://appleid.apple.com sign in with your current iCloud ID and now change your Apple ID (iCloud ID) to your new email address.
    Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.

  • How can I change my apple ID email address?

    How can I change my apple ID email address?

    I just did follow Varjak's instruction, but it refused. I was asked to enter my Apple ID's email address which unfortunately is the same as my Apple ID. I created two different passwords for each Apple ID n primary email address when I set up my I tune account in the first place, however.
    I do remember my Apple ID password because I have used it every time I installed new apps, but I completely forgot my password for the primary email address because I've never used it at all! I have another email address which I actively use it for all my email. I want to change my primary email address which happened to be my Apple ID as well to the one I actively use.
    Because of the explained problem, I can't log in to Icloud as I have been asked to verify by following the instruction sent to my primary email address.
    I would really appreciate it if any one can help me solve this problem.
    Thank you all.

    Can I change my icloud e-mail address?

    No, only by signing up for a completely new iCloud account.
    You can add an email alias to your existing account though.

    You can't delete an existing account, you can only choose to stop using it.  It will still be there should you decide to use it again in the future.

  • HT204053 I changed my Icloud account email and my account is no longer showing the 100.00 upgrade that I had purchased under my old email.

    I changed my Icloud account email ,and since changing it, my 100.00 upgrade  from my previous email, is not showing up on my new email account.

    It sounds like you have set up an entirely new ID rather than just changing your existing ID.

  • Can not change the Apple ID email address of the person who had computer before me. Email box is un-editable

    Can not change the Apple ID email address of the person who had computer before me. Email box is un-editable & I wish to use my own account not previous owners.

    If you're trying to update an application, you need to delete it and then download it from your Apple ID. You may want to erase the internal drive and install a fresh OS.

  • I have changed my itunes account email address but apps linked to itunes have not updated email address on iphone 4

    I have changed my itunes account email address but apps linked to itunes have not updated to the new email address on iphone 4

    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")
    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.
