Change primaire email adress in icloud

Hello,
I used to have a gmail.com to use different inlog accounts for apple. Recently I changed to a @me.com account. However, icloud is still using the gmail.com as my primaire email account. I want to change it to the @me.com account. Unfortunatly I can't change it. Does any body know how to deleten the primaire account and set it to the @me.com account. Thanks in advance!
Kind regards Edward

Did not work:
Look,
This is the first screen i get:
Afterwords i change it to the me.com account.......
It says: you can't make an apple ID with a mobileme account. If this is your emailadress, is this also your apple ID.
So what next?.....

  • 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.

    However, one option you have would be to create an email alias:

    I not so recently changed my email adress I associated with my Apple ID and my iCloud ID. My old email still shows up for iCloud, and won't let me change it to my new email. When I try to delete it and replace it with the proper email, it wants my password, which it won't accept because it's an invalid username.

    I had this same issue and got it resolved very simply when I contacted Apple SUpport

  • How a can change the email in the icloud

    I CHANGE MY EMAIL ADRESS FOR MY APPLE ID AND AFTER THE IOS 8.13 UPDATE, I CANT LOG IN TO THE ICLOUD AGAIN, CAUSE THE MAIL THAT APPERS TO CONNCECT, IS THE OLD ONE AND I CANT CHANGE BECOUSE THERE NO OPPTION, I CANT DELETE THE ICLOUD... HOE CAN I CHANGE IT?? SOMEONE CAN HELP ME??

    If the old ID ("email address") is your ID, 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.

  • Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress)

    Reset iPhone asks for Apple-AD and then asks for password for other Apple-ID (my old, before I changed the email adress). Never had this problems before and I have reseted it once or twice since changing emailadress on the Apple-ID.

    Well, it does say on http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html in step 1: "To enable iCloud on your Windows PC (Windows 7 or 8 required), first set up iCloud on your other devices, then install the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    If you're trying to back up your device to iCloud, that doesn't have anything to do with your computer.  You back up to iCloud over wifi.  All you do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account, scroll down and tap Storage & Backup, then turn on iCloud Backup.  You can then tap Back Up Now at the bottom to start the back up manually, or lock the screen and connect it to your charger and it will back up automatically every day.
    Enabling the iCloud control panel on your PC only allows you to sync your iCloud data with your PC, not to back up your device to iCloud.

  • How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone only

    How do I change the email account for icloud on my iphone6 only.  I don't want to change my ipad or my husband's iphone6.  Currently all 3 devices have the same gmail account associated with them.  I have created a new & separate apple id and I want that on my phone but I can't figure out how to delete his email from my phone.

    To change iCloud accounts you have to go to Settings>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with your other ID to create your new account.  If you want to migrate a copy of the iCloud data to the new account, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save Image.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out, choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone when prompted.  Then sign back in with your new Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload the data to your new account.  Once you are on a separate account you can go to iCloud.com and delete your husband's data from your account (and he can do the same with yours).
    Just be aware that the current @icloud.com email address cannot be moved to the new account, nor can the current my photo stream album (which is why you need to save any my photo stream photos you want to keep to your iPhone before signing out of the existing account).

  • How can I change my email name on icloud?

    I want to change my email address on icloud but it is grayed out and will not let me change it.  Do I need to delete my account and set up a new one?

    First you go to https://appleid.apple.com, log in, and change the email address on the account. Then on the phone go to Settings/iCloud, scroll down and delete the account. You will need to enter the password for the old email address. Then go back to Settings/iCloud and add it back using the new email address.

    How can I change my email address on icloud, I have already changed it on my apple id, but it still is asking for lmy old email and password and I can not back up or anything?

    Hello RousePryor
    If the iCloud account ends with an @icloud.com, then that is something that you cannot change it. If that is not the case, then you will need to sign out and may need to change it back to the old Apple ID to do so.

    Hi karen615,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    If you cannot reset your Apple ID password via security questions, you can reset via email authentication. If you are not receiving the email, it may be necessary to contact Apple Support using the link in the Get help section toward the bottom of the article.

  • I  need change main email address in iCloud, make alias email main

    i  need change main email address in iCloud, make alias email main

    I'm afraid you can't do this. Once you've chosen the main @icloud.com address when you set up the account you can't change it (other than by creating a completely new account); and you can't make an alias the main address in the account it's in or any other account.
