Can you change iCloud email-adress?

I got a new iCloud adress after purchasing a new iPhone. Can I use both. My old one is sort of master. Can I make the new one "master"?

Is it possible to transfer information held on an icloud account registered with a hotmail address, on to a new icloud address, which would be set up with an '@me.com' address?

HT5621 Can I change my email adress on my Apple ID please

Can I change my email adress now because it doesn't send to the yahoo account I want it to change it because it doesn't send to the write email so can I do that
<Email Edited by Host>

It's not a good idea to post personal info such as email addresses on public forums - I've asked the hosts to remove them.
You can update your account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad, tap 'view Apple id' on the popup, and you should be able to then tap on the current email address on the account's page and change it. Or you can do it on a computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and at the top of your account's screen there should be an edit link to the right of the current email address. You can also do it via : http://appleid.apple.com
You might then need to log out of the account on any iOS devices that you have (tap on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store), and possibly on computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.

Yes, you can update the primary email address on an account (as long as the address that you want to change to isn't currently a primary email address on another account) by logging into the account via the Store > View Account menu option on a computer's iTunes, by logging into it via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, or by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Stores on an iOS device and logging into it

HT201356 How can I change my EMail adress on iCloud?

I just purchased a new iMac 21.5" and upgraded it to Yosemity O.S.
I set it up using one eMail adress (hotmail) and password. I have, now changed it to a different eMail adress (gmail) and password. But when I try to log in to iCloud it still shows my old eMail adress and it won't accept my new password. I believe that I need to change the email adress but how can I do this?
Please help.

Hey Sblan2,
According to the following document, you are unable to change the iCloud email address.
from: Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621
However, one option you have would be to create an email alias:

Changing icloud email adress in icloud profile

Hi, I know there is much on this subject on this forum but i can't find an answer to this specifically.
I want to keep my original iCloud profile
Originally I created an iCloud email adress and associated it with my iCloud account as an Alternative Email Adress
Then realised my full name was available as an email address in iCloud so I wanted that email instead
I tried to create the availble email address as a secondary address in my primary iCloud account but could't find a way.
Then I simpy created a new iCloud profile creating the preferred new email address e.g. [email protected]
The new iCloud profile is empty of course, as my real profile is another account
So I figure I can merge the iCLoud profiles - is there a way?
Or I could simply associate the new address as an Alternate Email Address with my primary iCloud account
And here's the problem with suggestion in point 8!
As you can see below the new email address, which I own, is seen as someone else's email address.
How can I associate this new email address [email protected] with my primary icloud account???

I'm afraid you've boxed yourself into a corner by creating a new iCloud account with the address you wanted. That address is now permanently tied as the main address in the new account and there is nothing you can do to change it. You could have created an alias using that address in the older account, as suggested above, but now that option isn't available to you.
What you can do is to move over to using the new iCloud account, manually transferring your data to it. If you are also using the original address as the login for iTunes you will have to stick with that as purchases can't be moved from one account to another, but there's no problem about having different logins for iCloud and iTunes.

How can I change my email adress on Synch?

How can I change my E-Mail adress on Firefox Synch, because I have lost my controll over this mailadress and need to change it. Could you please tell me how I can do?
Thanks
Werner

This apparently is a problem with the system. The question has been hanging out there for 3 years with no response.
I changed my Apple ID account email address, and the store and iBooks and such are working great, but I cannot seem to get iCloud to work. Every day a message pops up on my Macbook to sync with iCloud, but has the original email address, and no matter what I attempt it will not change it without warning me that it will delete everything (Notes, Contacts, whatever) from the cloud and my Macbook if I do that. This warning is not apperaing on my iPod or iPad, so it is strange, and they are both seeming to back up to the cloud (or at least iTunes *says* they are).
I did make backups of the data to stand-alone archives, and I have an iPod and iPad I could take offline to keep the data preserved, but this is irritating.
I have not contacted Apple yet, as I don't have time to sit on a phone call, and they don't seem to take emails anymore.

Can't change iCloud email help!!!

I recently changed my email to another and when I go on my iPad 2 it says that iCloud can't load so I went to go and change it and it won't let me. Can anyone help?

Hi Connor.reed,
If you've recently changed to a new email account, you may want to make sure that it was added correctly to your iPad settings. The following article may be helpful:
iOS: Setting up an email account

If you are still having issues with iCloud, you may want to take a look at this article:

Can't change iCloud email address

Hi everyone!
I will do my best to explain what is going on.
I just got a refurb Iphone 4, and updated to OSx7
Icloud synced with my old email address from a long time ago, I guess its floating around on my mac. That email adress no longer exists as it got hacked, and then I shut it down. I don't know the password for that account or any verification information or the birthday I put down.
With that being said, that email account is synced with icloud, I tried to delete it in settings but I need a password to delete it. (it asks to so i can shut off find off my iphone).. No password no way of getting it and I can't delete it!
My itunes account has my current email adress not sure how to get that one in use for icloud.
I'm fairly new to icloud, easy english thanks!

Have you figured this out? Having the same problem on my new iphone 5

Can you change the email address to where your Bro...

Hello.
My BT Broadband account BT Internet emaill address is a different email address to my everyday BT Internet email address that I use to send from and receive emails in.
I don't send emails at all from my BT Broadband account email address.
Therefore when my BT Broadband Usage goes over 6GB and then 8GB, I am not aware of it unless I log into my BT.com account and check or log into my BT Broadband account btinternet.com email address as the advisory emails go into that address which I don't use for emailing from.
Is there any way I can have these advisory emails sent to my everyday BT Internet email address instead? Or even continue to be sent there and my main email address? Either by being able to do anything online or by contacting BT by phone or email and have them do it?
I did actually contact BT once before by emailing them and someone in India phoned me back to say they will do that for me but they've not done anything at all for me and the advisory emails still continue to go into my BT Broadband email address instead.
Could anyone tell me if switching the email address or adding an email address as to where these BT Broadband Usage emails are sent to is possible?
Hope it is and that you can tell me how this can be done with any helpful link or contact address/number without speaking to anyone in India.
Thanks.

Hi, I have the same problem, except that the advisory emails are being sent to a completely new email address which I never set up and which I can't access or login to. I didn't know about this until a bill arrived with a £5 charge for excess broadband usage, but I didn't know how to check it until now. I have now received an email (to my correct address) saying "Keep an eye on your usage" which has a link to an online monitor and to my horror I see that my usage has been well over the cap for some months. Yet I never received the advisory emails because I had no idea they were being sent to the unknown address. How can BT invent an email address and then use it to warn me? More to the point, how do I change that email address? I can't login to it because I don't know the password!
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Tony.

HT204053 I was using my husbands iCloud email. How do I change iCloud email to my iTunes email

I was using my husbands email address and iCloud and want to change to my address. I've changed iTunes but can't change iCloud email. Any ideas on how to change it

It only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud. This won't effect his account of device(s). W
Also, when you delete the account you will be asked if you want to Keep or Delete the iCloud data. If you need to migrate a copy of the data to your new account, choose Keep, then choose Merge after signing back in with your new ID to upload the data to your new account.
Deleting the account will delete the photo stream photos from your device. If you want to keep them, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account. To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (square with up arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.

How can I change my Apple ID to my new icloud email adress ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't change it, but you can log in with either.

HT201342 How can I change my iCloud email adress?

How can I change my iCloud email adress?

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). (I've not heard that Support will change it if asked, but you can't lose anything by trying.)
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.) (New aliases can only be @icloud.com ones; @me.com addresses cannot now be created.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account, move it to another account, or reactivate it if you delete it.
More information on aliases here:

I changed my email Adress for my Apple ID. How can I sign out of iCloud and put my new email address in for my Apple ID in iCloud?

I changed the email address for my Apple ID and so how can I chAnge it to my new email Adress on my iCloud?

You should have done it the other way arround. You should have started with signing out, before you changed your email. I would suggest to follow these steps...
1. change your email address back to the old one
2. delete your iCloud account from all your devices (especially turn off "Find My iPhone")
3. change your email to your new email address aigain
4. add your iCloud account again
