Cant verify icloud because of different email on icloud
When I go to access my icloud, it needs to be verified but the problem is that the email is wrong. For some reason it is at gmail.edu but my apple ID is at gmail.com. I have tried deleting the account and signing back in with my apple ID but again I run into the same problem. Have never used my icloud because I have not been able to change the email in the icloud verification. Please help!
To change the email address associated with your Apple ID, do the following:
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.
If you are unable to change it by managing your Apple ID, contact iTunes store support and ask for assistance: https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.

Why is it that in order to use Icloud you need to verify your email account and password, but its impossible to accomplish. Is this a function of busy servers or what. Thanks.
This malfunction is a waste of a million man hours waiting for an email from Apple.
I guess we will find out if iCloud is worth the wait when the servers get finished buffering the mail stream. -

Hi kelli in OP,
For information on verifying your primary email address, see this article:
Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
Cheers!

Basic problem is I am in over my head:) On my PC it displays a different email for iCloud and none of the passwords I remember allow me to log in. I can log in to Appleid fine, tho with a different email. How can I get the right email on my PC? Sorry, I can't explain it better. The Old Fisherman
You will need to contact Apple support. You can use the link in the quote below from If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions - Apple Support
If you couldn't send a reset email, don't have a rescue email address, or can't access email at your rescue email address, contact Apple Support. -
I cant remember my itunes password but i cant recover it because i no longer have access to the email i used for my Apple ID
If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), 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 iDevice, 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.

I Have followed all the steps and still cant remove iCloud to my existing account and add to the new one, the old email account was changed a year ago and cant get that email plus the password don't work please HELP!
Welcome to the Apple community.
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".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

i have four different email accounts (two yahoo, one gmail and one mac.com) - will these all sync once I move to the iCloud?
Welcome to the Apple community.
Only iCloud mail works with iCloud.
The syncing that occurs between a mail account on different devices, occurs because the account is an IMAP account. If you change or update your other accounts to IMAP accounts, they will behave the same way as your iCloud account. -
I cannot log into my Icloud, i have forgotten the password, but also the Apple ID has a different email address from the icloud. I cannot backup the ipad either because i need to turn off FInd my ipad and i can't

I have a Behance profile of long-standing as ChrisARaymond, and multiple projects, all connected to a gmail address. Now I cannot access it because my Adobe ID is connected to a different email address. I get an endless loop as Behance refuses to let me sign in with my old credentials, and when I sign in via AdobeID, my profile and projects are empty.
Did your programmers think through what you were doing before you implemented this? It's beyond ridiculous.This is simply and utterly one of the most inconsiderate of all Adobe takeovers. Did you not think artists that use Adobe products might have accounts already with Behance? You have screwed us. Not only that, there is NO way to talk to anyone about how to fix this. I do NOT see anything in this forum on how to fix, why? Big corporate decisions and more money. You suck Adobe.
HAVE A NICE DAY
