Changing iCloud email address

its updated everywhere else but when I go to settings then iCloud then account my old address still appears

You have to sign out and then sign back in.
On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'.
On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server).
Your synced data will disappear from the Mac/device when you sign out but will reappear when you sign back in (give it time).
Hopefully you don't have Find My iPhone/iPad/Mac running as this should be turned off before changing the password.

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)

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.

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?

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.
More information on aliases here:

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.

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

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.

I've changed the email address on my Apple ID but how do I change the email for iCloud?

I need help with changing iCloud email address please

Hi, I've just gone into the settings and my current email is on there, but it still keeps coming up with my old email when I go to update my apps :( any other ideas?

I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. my iPad recognisIes the change of id but on my MacBook Air, iCloud just keeps asking me for a password for the old email address/account. How can I get iCloud to recognise the new details? Help please!

I have had to change my email address/Apple ID. My iPad recognises the new detail in iTunes and iCloud but when I go into iCloud through my MacBook Air, it requests a password for the old email account which I can no longer use. There is no Option to be able to change this email/ID detail as I cannot get further than the password request. Can anyone help please - this is driving me insane?!

Go to System Preferences and click Sign Out, select Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the changed ID? (Your iCloud data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out and choose Delete, but will still be in iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)
