Change icloud email address on iPhone 4s

My itunes and apple store accounts had no problem changing email addresses, but I can't change my icloud account email address on my iphone 4. I no longer have that emIl address and need to change it. Any ideas? Thanks!

You have to delete the account: Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then setup again with your new ID.
First: turn off iMessage, FaceTime, & Find My Phone, then contacts, calendars, etc., for your existing iCloud account. For contacts, calendars, etc., you'll be prompted to keep the data on your phone, or delete it. Your choice.

Change icloud email address on iphone 4

I recently changed my email address. How do I change the icloud email address on my phone so that it matches?

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 iPhone, then sign back in with the changed ID. When you enter your password you may find that it isn't accepted, if this happens and your old ID is an earlier version of your current 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 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 iPhone 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.

Cannot change iCloud email address on iPhone 5 (iOS 8)

I changed my apple ID. I updated iCloud on my Mac (even my iPad works fine), but my iPhone still shows my old email. I attempt to "sign out" and it wants my password for the iCloud user. No password will work because that email doesn't exist with iCloud anymore.

Hey jarodcore,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are unable to sign out of your iCloud account after changing your Apple ID. The following resource may provide a solution:
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
iCloud
iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Forgot to sign out of old id and changed icloud email address and cant sign out of find my phone

I have a iphone 4s and changed icloud email address and forgot to sign out of find my phone. How can I turn it off to change to the new email address that I changed in icloud?

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.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Firstly, you need to change your details with Apple, Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
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 > 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.

How to change iCloud email address?

Hi,
when my brother-in-law set up his wife's iPad he used her current e-mail address as her appleID. But once he activated iCloud (for her new iPhone) he used unintentionally his name, Peter, to create her iCloud email address. How can I delete this iCloud e-mail address and set up a new iCloud e-mail address?

TS4002 change icloud email address

I keep getting random emails from strangers through my icloud email, im a computer novice and want to stop these emails. I'm not sure how someone has been able to get hold of my icloud address as i dont really use it. I was thinking of changing my icloud email address other than that is there a way of blocking these random emails.

There's no way to block random, spam emails. You could always create a new Apple ID to use with a new icloud account, but that means current data in icloud would be lost. If your current icloud account is new and you have very little stored on it, then fine.

Switch primary icloud email address on iPhone 6 - I have 2 email addresses, one of which is obsolete. Each has its own apple id, icloud account and itunes account. the phone shows the obsolete one as primary in iCloud. Can I switch it?

I have 2 email addresses (and apple ids, icloud accounts and iTunes accounts). One is obsolete but my iPhone 6 shows it as primary. How to I change this?

See: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
If that doesn't resolve it contact Apple Account Security: Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security - Apple Support Or call the main Apple support number for your country and ask for the Account Security Team.

Changing outgoing email address from iphone

I currently have my MobileMe account set up on my iphone, and it is using my MobileMe ID as my email address <Edited by Host>. However I would like to set it up with my alias<Edited by Host>. Is there a way to change this setting on the phone? I know I can change the outgoing email address from mail on my computer, but I don't see that function on my iphone.
Thanks

You can set up MobileMe to use any email address as a 'push' email on the iPhone. The first thing you need to do is set your non-MobileMe (.Mac) email address for auto-forward to your MobileMe (.Mac) account.
When you create the email account, make sure you set it up as Other (not as a .Mac or MobileMe account.) Then select IMAP as the type of account. Enter the name and auto-forwarded email address. (This is the email address that will show as the "From" email, even though you're using your MobileMe account.)
For your mail server settings, use your MobileMe settings:
* Incoming settings:
o Host Name: mail.mac.com
o User Name: MobileMe user name
o Password: MobileMe password
* Outgoing Settings:
o Host Name: smtp.mac.com
o User Name: MobileMe user name
o Password: MobileMe password
* Advanced:
o Use SSL - On
o Authentication - Password
o Server Port - 587
Now you're able to receive 'push' email from your non-MobileMe account, and reply without using the @me.com address. (You can use those same settings in the Mail App as well.)

HT201342 changing icloud email address

I made a typing error in my email address, which is very annoying, how do i change it, re-register, it doesn't seem possible

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.) (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.

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
